James Brown's politically charged funk anthem — with its iconic drum break and the Godfather of Soul's rapid-fire vocal delivery — is one of the most sampled records in hip-hop history. Its use in the Vultures project connected Kanye to the foundational DNA of sampled music, drawing from the same well that built hip-hop production.
