Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop

Ironically, I find "appropriate" to be a much more negatively loaded term.

What's brilliant is the sheer educational value.

This video's narration, albeit somewhat boring, was very clearly thought out.

When listened to in it's entirety, it forces even the most seasoned music listeners look at copyright laws, originality, and the creative process in general in a whole new light.

For those who already knew the story of the "Amen break", it serves as a source for new facts and a re-evaluation of it's end result on Western culture.

WOW! thanks

Fucking awesome. What an education! Mad props to the scriptwriter(s)... So glad I took the time to listen.

1:28 for those here just to listen to the Amen Break

The narrator sounds very similar to Microsoft Sam. If he spoke with a more robotic voice it would be identical.

fucking generation Attention Deficit Disorder! Listen to WHAT he's saying you cunt.

black - "sample"

white - "appropriate"

nasty undercurrent to an otherwise fascinating documentary

BRILLIANT VIDEO

The video is a brilliant and well-researched, thoroughly-documented work of recent musical history and pop culture.
