Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers - “Ashley’s Roachclip” (1974)

Just another B-plus funk track, right?

Jump to 03:30.

Must be really weird for poor Kenneth Scroggins know a few seconds of something he did in 1974 ended up becoming one of the definitive icons for an era (let alone the basis for dozens of other songs).

Alongside “Think”, “Funky Drummer” and “Cut the Cake”, it’s gotta be one of the most recognizable samples in hip-hop.
