Kiss rocker Gene Simmons narrates this documentary about the emergence of sampling and hip-hop. Starting with DJ Herc's employment of a percussion sequence from the obscure Incredible Bongo Band tune that gave birth to the 1973 song "Apache" to that same beat's later appearance in the works of contemporary artists like Will Smith, Amy Winehouse, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and others, the amazing history of this genre is explored. 83 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
