King Floyd's "Groove Me" (1970) is a New Orleans soul classic that reached number six on the R&B chart, establishing Floyd as a Southern soul star. The track is built on a hypnotic, minimal groove — the rhythm section plays with restraint, letting the bass and drums create a pocket so deep that anything placed on top of it sounds good. It's the musical definition of "less is more."

Wu-Tang Clan's sampling of "Groove Me" in "Method Man" introduced the break to a new generation, and the contrast between Floyd's smooth soul and Wu-Tang's gritty aesthetic demonstrated sampling's alchemical power — taking one thing and transforming it into something completely different. EPMD, Gang Starr, and Black Moon have also drawn from the track, using its minimal groove as a foundation for very different kinds of hip-hop.
