About this listen

How a 6-second drum solo from a forgotten 1969 funk track became the most sampled recording in music history, launching hip-hop and turning Gregory Coleman into an unknowing architect of an entire genre. We'll trace the Amen Break's journey from a B-side to the backbone of everything from N.W.A. to jungle music. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
