Yeah, I noticed that.

I've heard that break a lot, but never realized its history.

Thanks.

Word to your mother.

What cracked me up was this narrator guy kept calling the song "AHmen, Brother." Dude, it's funk. It's black folk. The song is "AYmen Bruhthuh."

I just remembered: there's about 3 seconds of this break on the end of the Beasties' "Shadrach" from Paul's Boutique.

Yes there is.
