Post A Breakbeat And A Song That Samples It

[5 Grand]

I'm not talking about samples, I'm talking about drum breaks. Specifically a drumbeat from an old 70s record that a rapper/producer rapped over.

The break is the first bar of the song.



The first known use of the break:




The "Skull Snaps break" been the backbone of a shitload of hip hop tracks.

 

[konceptjones]

Again, the opening bars are what's used




These are the two that come to mind that use this break.

 

[konceptjones]

First two bars:




ATCQ used it for "We Got The Jazz".

Bookmarked at the relevant spot

you can't even hear this break without spittin the most famous track that used it. The first 8 bars of this joint are legendary in hip hop.

 

[konceptjones]

As soon as you hear the break, first thing that should pop in your head is "Yo Rakim Whassup?"







Same track is the foundation for LL Cool J's "Jack The Ripper"

Everytime I hear an original song whose break beat was used in a hip hop song I think

"Damn they fucked up a good song!"

Break beat be sounding dope then they start adding all these other bullshit instruments and sounds.
