Hip-hop doesn’t exist without the break beat…the funkiest part of a track, sluiced away from it and used on its own. Nate Harrison created a 20 minute documentary on the “Amen Break.” Odds are that while you’ve never heard of it, you’ve heard it literally thousands of times if you listen to hip-hop, jungle, or drum and bass, or even if you watch television commercials. Fascinating. A six second break beat not only outlasts its creators, but spawns an entire industry. Thanks go to Jesse

sickness. pure sickness.
my heart jumped, liked the beat. no lie.
yeah, this is hot on so many levels it’s not funny. i was going to say more in the post, but this is one of those times where you just let the groove speak for itself, literally.
Knowledge is power, right? Thanks for highlighting this. It should be shared as an example of how focusing too much on the future and “next” leaves us open to having other appropriate our past.
Thanks Doc the beat that sells
