This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample 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. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.

some people talk about drums, others drum. Drummers tend to the latter. Fools like this, elucidate their nonsense, in a pathetic attempt to make themselves feel somehow relevant, this has nothin to do with music and is thus for any musician, a total waste of time!

Excellent analysis--educational and informative--loved it--I remember the Winstons' record when it was new--from a nice song for Father's day--flip it and it is a building block for a genre!! Great story!!

Word up, free all the samples! Freakin lawyers and sh!t."Instruments are political prisoners trapped up in computers" Saul Williams. Don't know if this quote is appropriate for the thesis but it's funny.
