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.

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.

hahahaaaa! "This is Shy FX's track - Original Nut.taaah - from 1994" "Nuttah" in American sounds fantastic. Like a computery voice thingy. Now I just want to hear an American say "Bloody hell..."

lol, I say 'Amen, Brother', to that! I'm a drummer myself - I certainly can do that, and plenty more, no less - though I spend most of my time trying to play creatively and in no way try and mimic others.

this is kind of bullshit because there are 1,000's of drummers from the sixties on that played similar funky beats, what the fuck do you think James Brown drummers played. alot of musicians pay little attention to other peoples beats. the best do their own thing, because music and rhythm are universals, NO ONE OWNS OR INVENTS BEATS DUH! this sample shit is basically for lazy people and non musicians. of course genius technical people can endlessly deconstruct anything.
