Politics was never meant to be a profession. Like diapers, they should be changed often & for the same reasons.

If U don't get it the first time. ... U don't learn nuth'en getting kicked by a mule twice.

[IUSECAMERAS]

used best on MC SHAN - THE BRIDGE & SUPERLOVER CEE & CASANOVA RUDD - DO THE JAMES

[TheEddaman]

Ok let me tell yall like it is about THIS SONG. It was made by Roy C and the Honey Drippers who was his backup band at the time. They were Michael L on Horn, Arthur D on Guitar, Larry M on Lead Guitar, Fred B on Bass, Morris E on Drums, and Ron H on Keyboards.All out of N.Y.C Just so you know I WAS THERE.

[rebeccasunshinesd]

Marley Marl was one of the pioneers of sampling in hip hop. He was the first to sample a breakbeat and reprogram it, which he did with The Honey Drippers' "Impeach the President" breakbeat on the MC Shan single "The Bridge" from 1985.

-from wikipedia

[Bdaddy4691]

damn just about everybody used this sample, NaS, De La Soul, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, and more!

[33GHill]

ahh man!!.. I cant even imagine how many times I've heard that same drum break in soooooooooo many hip hop songs lol....well its cool to actually know where so many hip hop groups have sampled it though =)

[itsowizi]

@djtylenol187 you can expect to spend around 120 $ for a clean copy. Try Ebay I've seen it several times this year.

[fanofprotopic]

you've had that record HELLA long, haven't you? Anyway, there was another group calling itself the HoneyDrippers and included Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.

[heltaskelta32]

biggie ready to die!

[Richie2k6]

Where would hip hop be without this sample

[sweepee4pres]

nobody sampled it in when hiphop was at it's best

[Richie2k6]

Yes they did...

[sweepee4pres]

no they didn't u pretty clueless..peeps were rockin the 808,909,dmx, linn drumm etc...no samplin beats,straight up original hardcore shit.. Doctor JR Kool 'That's Deep' from '86 that 1 of the classic pre-samplin hiphop sureshots..

the beat samplin started after that...better ask primo,pete rock,marley marl..they'll tell ya kid..1987-96..that the boombap era.

[Richie2k6]

What do you mean... Fresh Prince and Jazzy - As We Go, My Buddy Audio Two - Top Billin Ice Cube - Gangsta Fairytale PT 2 Big Daddy Kane - Put Your Weight On It Eazy-E - Eazy Duz It N.W.A. - Kamurshol, Gangsta Gangsta Slick Rick - Moses Run DMC - Back From Hell 2Pac - Rebel of the Underground EPMD - Total Kaos The D.O.C. - Mind Blowin Masta Ace - Go Where I send Thee Those all came out between 1987-1996 and all sampled Impeach the President...

[sweepee4pres]

yes everybody knows these joints...all i was sayin is before that hiphop was better when nobody was samplin beats..planet rock style hiphop..1982-86 best period ever.

a famous example is run dmc's sucker mc's from '83..simple track,no samplin but still one of the best.

[floydc1]

@sweepee4pres -- A lot of people were using live bands and recreating original breaks and grooves....Sucker MCs was a re-created by of the song called 'Action' by Orange Krush. If it wasn't for Marley Marl sampling a drum snare by accident....who knows.

[sweepee4pres]

@floydc1

The "Sugar Hill/Enjoy" bands were no longer needed from 82 to 86 as the tr-808,DMX,Linn drummachines replaced real live drums..i call it the electro hop era.

Than in 86/87 production changed big time with the introduction of the SP-1200 & MPC60 sequencers/drumsamplers..

My initial point is that during the electro-hop era hiphop was at it's best.

[floydc1]

@sweepee4pres -- i meant to type...Sucker MCs drum beat was a recreated drum beat of the song called Action released the previous year.

[deeyou1]

You're entitled to your opinion... But a lot of people would disagree with you.Sampling is when Hip Hop went from boy to man.

[sweepee4pres]

wrong...hiphop went from man 2 boy,from mc to rapper

that a fact

[tonyescobar71]

@sweepee4pres -- I like how you said "planet rock style hiphop" as an example of non-sampled hip-hop, when in fact "Planet Rock" is built around a sample of "Trans-Europe Express" by Kraftwerk.

[sweepee4pres]

@tonyescobar71

planet rock was covered,not sampled..

sugarhill gang's 8th wonder is also good example of a covered song...so is "it's nasty" by grand master flash etc....as u prob know.

[kwkable11]

You forgot "Funky 4 You" by Nice And Smooth! Peace out. Holla at yo' boy!

[newkidd2k3]

@kwkable11

Speaking of "Funky 4 You", check out Royksopp - "Happy Up Here" and see if that track doesn't sound familiar. Peace.

[agattegiraffe]

"Talkin' bout hey love"- De La Soul

[zoooyorker]

EPMD- "Whatcha Sayin", "Total Kaos" and probably a bunch more because we all know Erick Sermon loves that 70s funk.

[robotrocc]

lol the first thing that came up in my mind when i heard this was "wu tang clan ain't nothin' to f**k wit!" Classic!

[xxflyingsolo06xx]

incarcerated scarfaces

one time for ur mind

[KyleEaddy]

@xxflyingsolo06xx

I thought Incarcerated Scarfaces as well, but the drums for that song are Gladys Knight & The Pips- Who Is She. Listen to the beginning of the song and you'll hear it. You can find it on here

[DieSchwartzmann]

Love Me Love Me by Shaggy samples this as well. I'm kinda disappointed.

[mpeddie09]

i think pete rock used this the best

[JayArgonaut]

One of the most sampled songs in hip-hop and the music world as a whole, apparently even The Rolling Stones used it lol... Who would've guessed that a song about Nixon could be so popular? :)

[luder2006]

nas - i can

[KidiV]

didnt they use this on the 2006 BET Cipher with Styles P, Lupe Fiasco, and Papoose?

[authentic09]

Top billin' -Audio 2

Young MC - I'll Go

[dakingofdano]

Dr Dre- chronic intro

LL- around the way girl

Kane- smooth operator

Jodeci- come and talk to me remix

theres 100 more I left out, but that loop is sick

[kwkable11]

Hey, I remember that song! That was one of my favorite Roxanne Shante songs. " Shante is feelin' kinda horny"! Big ups for old school hip hip!

[djmmcee]

Lots-o-peeps sampled this... this is where Marley Marl got "The Bridge" from via his own chop method.

[Str8Slj]

2pac sampled this " Just like Daddy "

[wsiegning]

[cyanclouds]

Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta Fuck Wit

[Phurcat]

@cyanclouds Actually the drums for that song are "Hiache"

[saiyahog840]

@cyanclouds That was from a different song with similar drums lol.

[sketcha09]

All I know is Shaggy sampled this, but the beginning beat is pretty much a classic sample for hip hop.

[zebbedi]

Dr Dre sampled it too.

[RDoubt96]

I swear the common hip hop drum pattern must have been formed from the drums in this song.

[brassedmonkey]

Spoonie Gee-U aint just a fool, sweet

[chima93]

lol i just realized this beat's sampled on the chronic intro :P

[djmalfunction]

every single hip hop song samples thoes fucking drums

[NighttimeVulture]

[isportfades]

[Redrizzle187]

[danielhl22]

fuck your sneakers dude!!!

[junglegroove]

I'm making a replay of this break. check out my replay of "Funky Drummer" a/b'ed with JB's. (in video replies)

The way the vinyl noise is on your video, it makes the break sound like "The jam" (Graham)

[hazor777]

IMPEACH OBAMA !! That Mother Fucker!

[CBXweb]

MC am I people call me Milk?

[oskamadison]

Yep.

[ElvisPunisher777]

[wayintothe7thart]

funny thing is the honey drippers singer is no other than led zeppelin (rock band if you don't know) singer robert plant

[optikqcr]

absolutely wrong. The lead singer of this honeydrippers is Roy C.

[wayintothe7thart]

my bad wrong band

[kruskavac]

there are 2 groups: the Honeydrippers (1980's rock) and an 1960s soul group the HoneyDrippers

[thecrunge86]

@optikqcr NO, it's Robert Plant

[getyoasshome]

thank you

[buttguy]

@wayintothe7thart

yep, totally the wrong band. this is the OTHER honeydrippers.

classic tune!

[polar370]

@wayintothe7thart There are two groups called The Honey Drippers.

[twiztidlestat]

WU TANG CLAN AINT NUTTIN TO F**k WIT

[getyoasshome]

naw wu tang didnt sample this song on wu tang clan aint nothing to fuck wit. biggie sampled this on unbelievable, nas sampled it, run dmc sampled it etc...the most over played break beat of all time.

[dskennie]

classic beat

[robertlewis2002]

sounds like there is a sample of the "Clean Up Woman" too.

[hiphopdiedin2000]

Big L freestyled to a sample of this.

[WorthMoreDenU]

biggie - unbelievable samples it too

[craitdigga]

Actually the break on Paid in full was the Soul Searchers

[DaveySoWavey357]

mr loverman

[XRaiD]

Awesome. MC Shan used this too right? (or Marley Marl I should say.) But yeah it's great to hear all these tracks.

[heru1966]

X Clan also used this riddim on "Ooh Baby Vainglorious Way" :-)

[SamaTheGreat]

Nas - I can, uses the drumbeat. watch?v=84uWGVAcKR4

[humanvynil]

eric B adn rakim - paid in full? i'll go listen to it again to make sure.

[diggidy28]

Paid in Full used Dennis Edwards' "Don't Look Any Further"

[humanvynil]

yeah "dont look any further"! i almost forgot that one. good song.

[diggidy28]

My bad, I was thinking of the bassline. The drum beat is pretty close though.

[JohnnyTrotz]

dope ass tune man - Respects.

[RealnConquest]

that table looks like a tit-

[salgoud12]

Also sampled in Mase - Love U So

[21theworld21]

what more can I say Top Billin'!!!

[lumbia33]

one of the best flips of this track was top billin'... for reals!!! i heard that it came out of a mistake, too... that would be amazing if that were true.

and then one of the most memorable (not flipped) was nice and smooth, funky for you...

i try to play this song as much as i can. totally right- a timeless track. this, and 'mr. president' by amnesty, amongst others.

[juampadj]

luis miguel - dame

hahahah

[meunlikeyou]

And of course Shaggy - "Luv Me, Luv Me" is an exact copy of this song.

[funkmasterdjcheese]

Got the same tune pal, same label. As rare as rocking horse shit.

Word

[THECOMEDIANCOCK]

What the hell was that thing.

[chuckhf420]

Nice and Smooth used this for their jam "Funky for you" Hell yeah. Real hip hop shit right here!

[Tony1TAKE]

What about DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince "As We Go"

[fatboy226]

Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit

sample

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Actually, the sample is from Biz Markies Nobody Beats the Biz, but the snare and kick drum were triggered samples that came from this song. Peace.

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Damn YouTube for omitting the quotation marks and apostrophes that I was so careful to put in their correct places! Peace.

[mayormcch33z]

Too bad that they didn't omit the "Peace" at the end of all your posts...

[Mike828828]

The sample has been used 1,000 times. I've personally used it, Biz was just one of the many to use the break he doesn't own exclusive rights. Biz I believe was not the first to sample it, alot of cats that don't dig hear a sample like "I want it all" warren G, and if someone else uses it differently they automatically think that person sampled it from Warren G and not the original. Just figured I'd clarify, peace and respect

[Royalston]

the snare and kick from this song were used in Make The Music With Your Mouth, Biz..not Nobody Beats The Biz.

[MuzikJunkyAES]

You're right. I mistyped! Peace.

[Royalston]

the sample you're thinkin about is "Hihache" by the Lafayette Afro Rock Band

[davidrogerio]

excelent bro. But, you should be conect the audio output from LP player directly to the camera this will offer better quality. Thak you for the video.

[aspin77]

dope rare shiit!

[intense34]

Dj Green Lantern also for "Impeach the president: ;)

[roman5]

this is acually the most sampled beat in hip-hop

[vegunited06]

nah, ashley's roach clip I reckon.

[roman5]

r u sure...well acually as i watched this video i had stumbled on to another video lol and acually Amen Break is

[salgoud12]

Don't forget the Funky Drummer break by James Brown. Highly sampled

[meet7sos]

damn right. i think maybe the first that used it were eric b n rakim

[milesIronwood93]

All right everybody we get it! Everyone sampled this!

[riddle7911]
