Skull Snaps' "My Hang Up Is You" is the third frequently sampled track from their 1973 album — proof that when a rhythm section is this good, every performance is worth sampling. The Newark funk trio played with a locked-in precision that belied their lack of commercial success, and "My Hang Up Is You" features the same crisp, dry drum sound that made their other breaks so prized.

Producers treated the Skull Snaps album like a personal drum library — each track offered a slightly different tempo, feel, and groove, giving them options that a single break couldn't provide. It's one of the most crate-dug records in hip-hop history for good reason.
