in order to learn more about the breakbeat the the culture that surrounds it, i stated earlier that i would have to dig deeper in order to better understand for myself what it is exactly - what are its origins ... where is it from ... what kind of history does it stem from? although it may sound like a no-brainer to some, my research has led me back to the original "break" beat that people used to "get down" to back in the day, i.e. the african drum beat.
