  • @kudge43 actually amen brother has been used now many times it was on the top 100 songs of 1969 and a few people recorded it with a audio recorder they invented about that time later several people restored the recording and used it in songs popular in the mid 80's and it became a hit many people have talked about the amen beat and one man used a machine at the maker fair to knit the audio pattern for the break and it is said to be the most impotent 6 second drum beat in the world 0:56 - 1:06

  • @Stephaknows It was a joke...

  • @kudge43 the amen break? Yeah it's used in a lot in dnb/jungle. If you grew up in the 90s watching kid shows you might recognize it from the Powerpuff Girl's theme song. lol

  • @Svarbard nah 'Amen, Brother' was first used by hip hop but most used by drum n bass (in nearly every damn song)... hip hops most used loop is probably the 'Funky Drummer' break by james brown...

  • @kudge43 I guess on every other hip hop song, this became the most used loop in hip hop music

  • unbelievable quality of video!

  • @kudge43 DJ SS - Black

  • 1:41

  • @moviejacker You mean Gregory C. Coleman?
