Roy C Hammond, creator of "Impeach the President", a funk track that was a building block of early hip-hop and has been sampled by *everyone*, has died
I happened across this track recently, but had no idea that the drums had been sampled over 600 times and has been used by a variety of artists. Really cool recent interview with him

Or you could just go to the source that all those artists have sampled, the obscure funk song that started it all back in 1973, called “Impeach the President.”
