The one with the Funky Drummer

Romesh takes a look at sampling - and builds a new shelf in Ranga's Records for the occasion! Plus - great music from De La Soul, Nelly, Outkast and many more.

Is that the sound of the Funky Drummer? Romesh takes a look at one of the most famous samples of all time - James Brown's 'Funky Drummer' - and how it has been reinvented countless times in Hip Hop tracks over the years. He even builds a brand new shelf in Ranga's Records just for the occasion.

Plus there's a whole stack of great tunes from De La Soul, Nelly, Outkast and Noname - but that's just a small sample...

In the After Party, Romesh has a UK Hip Hop Top Five - who will take top spot?
