a 6 second drum beat loop from the b-side of a 1969 record goes on to basically be 'jungle' music genre.
also gets into a discussion regarding copyright and the digital public domain. quite interesting. and fascinating how 1000's of records, club events, dj's etc all exist because of a 6 second drum loop from a 1969 record.

a breakbeat from a 1969 record is now used a lot. it's called the amen break. you have heard it.

Interesting find! Felt like I was watching a Saw movie or that voice that MS offers in Windows for people with disabilities.

The "Amen Break", "Amen", or imitations thereof, are frequently used as sampled drum loops in hip hop, jungle, breakcore and drum and bass music. It is 5.20 seconds long and consists of 4 bars of the drum-solo sampled from the song "Amen, Brother" as performed by the 1960s funk and soul outfit The Winstons. The song is an up-tempo instrumental rendition of an older gospel music classic. The Winstons' version was released as a B-side of the 45 RPM 7-inch vinyl single "Color Him Father" in 1969 on Metromedia (MMS-117), and is currently available on several compilations and on a 12-inch vinyl re-release together with other songs by The Winstons.
The Amen Break was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music--"a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures

Well, I watched the first minute. It was pretty boring and I lost interest.

one of the most sampled, but not in hip hop..
The Honeydrippers - Impeach the President has been used in approximately 1 out of every 5 rap songs from 1988 -present...
