This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969. This sample was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.

If you're a simpleton and you can't appreciate the cultural significance of this notorious clip or the man's message on how corporations exploit musical innovation and self-expression, then stop leaving these pointless comments on how you think this is "dull" or "boring". Go back to reinforcing the views of some obnoxious viral celebrity and stop desecrating this video.
