The Isley Brothers' "Get Into Something" (1970) captures the group in their transitional phase — moving from the polished Motown sound of "It's Your Thing" toward the raw, self-produced funk that would define their 1970s work. The track features a tight, propulsive drum groove and a sense of building intensity that reflects the band's growing confidence as producers and arrangers.

The break's clean, driving quality made it a staple of hip-hop production. The Isley Brothers' catalog is one of the most sampled in music, and "Get Into Something" provided producers with a groove that was both sophisticated and hard-hitting — a combination that's harder to find than it sounds.
