(An ideal opportunity to put my useless information to work)
I was going to lead with Rap-O-Clap-O, by Joe Bataan (the first hip hop song on wax), but wanted something a little more memorable.
And there is the obvious classic; originally recorded by Strafe, but the record company didn't like it, so they gave it to Harlequin Four, who made this little travesty. The original survived and was a massive hit, to our collective benefits.
And because I can't make up my mind for anything, I'm including the original seed, the beat that started it all thanks to GC Coleman and the Winstons; It starts at ~1:43 and goes on for six whole seconds. there is the most amazing documentary on youtube about the history of the amen break.

ReplyDeleteits worth the watch, but i'm also addicted to breakbeat, so I might be biased.
