My friend, RGH, sent the video for this on Youtube when it came out and I thought it was really funny.

Song:  My People...Hold On
Year:  1972
Album:  People...Hold On

This song has been sampled a lot, but the drums are where my focus is.

 

80 Blocks From Tiffany's created a one-bar drum loop where the first bass drum is from 0:00 and the first clap is from 0:03.  Next come the three bass kicks from 0:02 and finally another clap from 0:12.

 

AZ and Statik Selektah created slightly different variations of the beat with the same basic ingredients.
