nice info...insightful stuff, but probably would have been better with more visuals to offset his monotany, i mean his voice was a little dull, but not as much as watching a record play his voice for 18 minutes!

Maybe because I don't watch MTV too much, but I have never heard that "world's most famous" drumbeat being played anywhere??

Here is a partial list of 'famous' songs that have sampled the break. Also a lot of people who have sampled it chopped it use quite liberaly.

p.s. Are you telling me you've never heard "Straight Outta Compton" that samples it verbatim.

Damn.

I am totally too old!!!

From that whole list I do not know a single track.

I'm sure my mother hasn't, either. Although lots of people have heard the break but just wouldn't have known (ie passing by a shop with it playing overhead, bank adverts, etc) Chances are if you've heard any jungle from the mid-90s, you've heard the break.

For the trivialists, from an old thread, I think Salt n Pepa's song "I Desire" from 1986 was the first example we could find of the break being sampled.

dont feel bad. The only popular tune he even showed was the squarepusher one. All the oldschool jungle songs he gave as examples were just amen track #5094385039483656, etc.

I will wager your mother that more people have heard the NWA song than the Squarepusher one.

But it was also used on Oasis's "Do Y'Know What I Mean," chance you've heard that one?

Oh yes.

I would venture to say that if you asked someone to tell you what they thought the prototypical dance music beat was they would probably 'hum' something close to this break. (after they go Unce, unce, unce, unce that is )
