oh snap... i didn't realize til now!

Fixed the title.

Nice find :)

they could have called it "the top 50 David Axelrod samples"...

So that's where Dre got that beat from...

i love it when the samples sources are revealed. i have a couple of mixes that include the hip hop tracks and the tracks they sample from... but they're stuck in the HD of my broke down ibook.

Impeach The President deserves to be numba wun!

best break ever!

kraftwerk is one of my favorite groups of all time. i think they have a hand in the development of hip hop (although inderictly). but i fully understand kraftwerk being excluded from this top 50.

this is great; cheers man!

lots to learn now throughout the week

i recorded a track off the radio years ago i've used the break from... really boxy drums and claps "clap your names now people clap them"... what's that? hard one to google.

the meters

Michael Viners Incredible Bongo Band will obviously be there. Perhaps at number 1?

I thought U.F.O. by ESG might make the list

Whoa, this is amazing.

i am surprised that Lyn Collins "Think (about it)" isn't even on the countdown!

schooly d's psk break is the greatest thing that's ever been made.

i read somewhere that while recording psk, he triggered the drum machine/sampler with his feet while he rapped, all live onto tape. if so, he's the sickest bastard ever.

#35 ftw... so many gems on this.

#18 Luke vibert used in "Funky Acid Stuff"

oh shit, he used #12 in an amen andrews track i think.

#1 he used a vocal sample from too on "My Style"
