when i gave a presentation on sampling for a public speaking class in college i played the amen break, then slowed it down to show it was used in Fuck Tha Police, then sped it up to show it was used in the powerpuff girls theme song

Thanks for teaching me about this! I listened to it and immediately thought I recognized it from Jamie XX's Oh my Gosh. In the event I was wrong, it samples Lyn Collins -- another classic sample I believe, certainly in hip hop. But I'm sure I'll hear it pop up in lots of places now, always nice to learn a piece of history.

I got curious and tried searching for it, ended up finding out they actually sample James Brown's "Funky Drummer". Very interesting either way. Thanks!
