AMEN BREAK MADNESS



[insanelook]

Yes I am selling it.

[therealbcb]

j dilla!

[vegunited06]

i love the added hihat/tambs over the top, giving the illusion the amen has a shuffle sound to it when actually the oringal amen is just straight 4/4

[ADVANCEDBREAKAGE]

The amen used on this i think is the album version of "amen my brother " not the single version was probably sampled at 22khz due to limitations on an emu or akai , i could be wrong still f@~kin ruff ruff track 23/10 lol

[streetxlite]

i think i read somewhere that they sampled both the original amen brother break, as well as the bell/siren intro from this tune. I could be wrong and blowing out my ass though so don't quote me. Google turns up nothing

[russellfoureyes]

Fantastic sleeve art!!!

[MrJames07111]

does this song ring a bell? didnt NWA use this (straight out of compton)

[futilerecordings]

@MrJames07111 Well, those drums are the "Amen Break", been used in thousands upon thousands of records. However, it's quite possible they sampled it directly of this record, as this 12" was a staple in hip hop.

[meechamaka411]

@MrJames07111 Now that I listen to it, Dre mighta got that "Amen Brother" (by The Winstons originally) break from this jam!!! I kno' Snap 'n Chill Rob G. beef'd over that "(I Got The) Power" beat, but cats wasn't payin' much attention (back then) that whoeva make the track jack'd it from DJ Mantronik!!!

[Finnsnor]

@meechamaka411

The truth is Snap sampled the Mantronix beat from Drum Drops vol.2 that had a loop of the beat + the horn from the ashleys roachcliff breakbeat

[JackTron7000]

@MrJames07111 Both this song and Straight Outta Compton sampled "Amen Brother" as their drumlines.

[10lettername]

boy did dilla love that siren

[willferris34]

DILLA DILLA

BEATS BEATS

[leeofbacup]

People are so uneducated... As if the highest voted comment is about the william hill ad on tv.... So sad... search on Youtube for "Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop".... Learn a few things. Amen Brothers we salute you...

[bigtallpap]

@leeofbacup Hey, thanks very much for the tip on that Amen Break video. Fascinating stuff and I'd never have found it if I hadn't spotted your comment.

Of course, I'd never have spotted your comment if I hadn't come looking for this tune after hearing that WH ad, but that's another matter I guess... :-)

[korndiggitydogg]

@leeofbacup Your comment ought to end with: Gregory Coleman, we salute you. 'Amen, Brother' was the title of the track... Learn a few things.

[leeofbacup]

@korndiggitydogg I know...

[Vindog76]

Amen Break 0:19 :)



[SubliminalMinded2011]

starting @ 0:36 sounds like Big Daddy Kane's "Pimpin Aint Easy".

[scarredcobra]

3.38min. who sampled this part on a classic dance tune? and shouts out "hey hey hey hey"

[icemanproperbo]

@scarredcobra -I've been trying to figure that out too!!

[scarredcobra]

@icemanproperbo when you figure it out, let me know.

[bigtallpap]

@scarredcobra Don't know exactly what track you are thinking of but I reckon the Mantronix sample is originally from Take Me to the Mardi Gras by Bob James (about 2m in) - maybe that'll help identify who else sampled it for the dance tune you're after. There's a list of various tunes that have sampled it on the YT page for that song sorry, won't let me link to it but it ends gaoCsmFDLcY

[bigtallpap]

@icemanproperbo Per my comment to scarredcobra:

[svendiamond]

[giraud74]

@djdooblus life is full of miracles ; )

[djdoobius]

I don't know why the video shows a pic of the Needle To The Groove 12". I'm holding this record in my hands right now and this song isn't on that record.

[BCThunderthud]

@djdoobius Yeah, it's on the Join Me Please 12", from the third album not the first, but that one doesn't have a picture sleeve and this one is great.

[WalterSobchak1000]

[Khultan]

Gnome (NYC) of Kraftwerk Kings rocked the fly album cover. 

[ps3maff33]

WICKED TUNE ENOUGH SAID

[SolidSetup]

They used the 'Amen break' from 'The Winstons – Amen, Brother' which was used by many other artists such as 3rd bass and NWA etc.

[SolidSetup]

it was on the b side of the 12 inch "Join Me Please... (Home Boys - Make Some Noise)" in 1988 -(i have a copy)

[bboyAdubs]

fucking incredible

[kevzero11]

Breakers classic

[waynecoolj]

Wow!! I used to freak out to this song:))

[MatthewYoungProducer]

year of release ?

[InspectorPanty]

@MatthewYoungProducer i believe 1999

[Parrock1]

@InspectorPanty I'm afraid not - this came out in the late 1980's. It was on Mantronix' 'Best Of' album in 1999 which might be confusing you.

[defcreator]

@InspectorPanty

1987 LOL

[synthfreek]

@defcreator

We haven't really progressed all that much have we? 50 songs could be made from this one track.

[browjonb]

@synthfreek 50 songs WERE made from this one track....lol

[TUDdubman]

@browjonb Actually 50+ song were made from the breakbeat sample stolen from the winstons.

[TheZauer]

There are many famous samples used in here.

[Japcat21]

@TheZauer I think you mean "There are many famous samples in here that were used"

[umfufo]

@Japcat21 hahahahahaha old skool forever

[majorbasil]

I had to beg my local record shop to get this on white label because at the time it was only a French import!! No tune since has got near this classic x-) mantronix definitely king of the beats !!!

[slugworth28]

awesome classic

[Infrasound3003]

löööl , mid session geht am meisten ab ...hat sich bei mir als Pokerlied embedded.

[MatthewYoungProducer]

That piano sample at 3:43. Where is it from ? Stevie Wonder ?

[chrisrap4ever]

@MatthewYoungProducer Its from a Bob James track called "Take Me To The Mardi Grass".

[nptrock]

CLASSIC nuff said!

[Paycheck125]

WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Neomorpheous90]

the drum&bass and jungle were invented randomly by a funk/soul band in '69:))

[1971didi]

good old things...

[TheSarahPJ]

Like it???? Loving it!

[rainbowblood413]

dat siren.

[kiuhy8]

awesome classic tune

[bugnazzify]

4:55-5:31 this beat just break your neck...

[WilizmEnt]

@bugnazzify Right about that cause if you dont wanna go off to that, then you got no soul. Everytime I heard it, I wanna spit.

[coolout1]

This was a rare 12" B-side and only later appeared on the Greatest Hits because it so ahead of it time...one of the first uses of the Amen break, where Dilla got his siren sample from, and the drums/basslne for Snap's The Power. Mantronik was the first one to mix the electro/freestyle school of hip-hop production with sampling. His drum programming, editing, and sample chops were far more advanced than most of his peers and directly influenced many producers like The Bomb Squad and Timbaland.

[VenomNoSerum]

im gonna sample the fk out this lmao

[Crede06]

Dilla

[MrMeefos]

hey zuess

[nightnighter]

Muito massa adorei a capa essa arte eh demais!!!!

[venosf]

This is exactly the same beat Naughty by Nature used on their first single when they were called "The New Style" and the song was called "Scuffin' Those Knees"...Look it up. At least at the beginning 0:00-2:00

[venosf]

This is exactly the same beat Naughty by Nature used on their first single when they were called "The New Style" and the song was called "Scuffin' Those Knees"...Look it up.

[777gummy]

They got the Power !!! -)

[muzikman100]

one one the greatest breaks

[KanyeisBest815]

cam someone explain the whole Jay Dee concept and this sample..im kinda confused some one please sum it up in a couple sentences..im just a young ignorant producer trying to make it and like 9th wonder sai "YOU NEED TO KNOW THE HISTORY"

[ancientraver19881989]

The track that gave the "Amen" break to the whole of the hardcore/rave/jungle scenes. Probably been in the top ten pop charts in England/Europe more than any other sample. Amazing really that both this and the original are American but in general Americans as usual dont have a clue.

[truesubstance]

Snap - The Power

[crieff1sand2s]

the record want called that fot nuthin........:-)

[rtheguitar1]

Fuck. this formed alot of dillas whole style

[asdertert12345]

O...M...G... this is where Dilla got his signature sound from!!!

[dnjp4life]

Is that the famous Amen, Brother break at the beginning?

[SomethingRules]

@dnjp4life yeah

[patto2k]

@dnjp4life certainly is

[mans1000]

@dnjp4life

Yes matey!!

[Pieperson277]

This. Is. The. Shit.

[lanceishiphop]

mantronix along with marley marl ,and ced gee destroyed the sp 1200. one the most underrated producers of his time. this can still rock a party. respect to true hip-hop the fake shit shall perish.

[negroantonio28]

@lanceishiphop ....amen brotha... true words you a speak..peace

[acdegrees421]

Play this NOW and everyone will crowd the floor to "Dilla's beat"!!

[MorphiendMusic]

Mantronik is why i make beats today.

peace to the original King Of Beats

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

@MorphiendMusic my mentor were the latin rascals, mantronix would def be my next to learn from though. this guy was awesome...to say the least.

[DarrickDeBonair]

haha its kinda funny how many times J Dilla uses this sound

[djkaneck1]

I must admit, this is a dj must have album. I won many battles with this track. You can still do damage on the turntable with this track and some Krafwerk album too.

[gjbap]

Dilla, Dilla, Dilla!!!!!!

[tacticalbattledroid]

luvin this mega track';-)

[SteveLikesVideo]

This is the dopest shit in the world. No one owns this. Classic is an understatement.
