N.T.

A funk number by Kool & The Gang from the early 1970s that could be called one of the roots of breakbeats.

When people hear “breakbeats,” many might picture chopped-up hip-hop beats or ravey British electronic dance music.

However, the earliest breakbeats actually originated in Black music—especially soul numbers like this.

Later, looping a single verse and rapping over it would come to form one of the roots of hip-hop.
