This 20-minute video narrates
the history of the "Amen
Break," a 6 second drum sample
from the b-side of a
chart-topping single from
1969. This sample was used
alot in early hip hop and
sample based music, and became
the basis for drum-and-bass
and jungle music. A six-second
clip that spawned several
entire subcultures. Enjoy!
