I second this.

IMO there are so many breaks in the world to be found, using one just because it's popular and vritually defines an entire genre (or more) is kinda gay.

i've never met anyone who was an actual sample, how does it feel.

The original amen has a magical soul that cannot be reproduced, it's an example of the musicians personality filtering through to the recording plus it is more than just the drum hits that make it what it is, it's also the space captured and that relationship between the space and the groove. Too pretentious?

Heh. It pays off, doesn't it?

I swear - and bear in mind I was using the oldskool Hammerhead beat app - that after a year or so of practically nothing but Amen choppage, my beats went to a whole 'nother level.
