The Second Track

The Drummer Who Saved Hip-Hop By Getting Fired


Listen Later

That drummer was James Brown's Clyde Stubblefield, and his vengeful response created the 'Amen Break' - six seconds of drums that became the DNA of hip-hop, jungle, and modern music. Sometimes the best revenge is a perfect breakbeat. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
