Description: 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. Share with friends

RaisinBrainz ::: Favorites Interesting. I, for one, believe that Fresh Prince of Bel Air was actually the start of Armageddon. I loved the show, but just look at what movies Will Smith is in... "I Am Legend", "iRobot", "Independence Day"? We're doomed. Welp, I guess I'll just have to wait for Armageddon to come out on VHS... ... oh, crap... 07-07-31 22:45:44 _____________________________________________________
