World's Most Important 6-sec Drum Loop

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, becoming the backbone of millions of different songs.
