When athletic height jumping was considered done and perfected, there was the Fosbury flop which opened new possibilities. Do you think there was such a moment in the music history? When someone showed how things can be done and from there everyone is using his/her technique?
The Amen break is sampled absolutely everywhere in modern music, that’s probably the closest you’ll get to absolute ubiquity like the Fosbury flop
AMEN BREAK AMEN BREAK AMEN BREAK
