referencing Hot, Cool & Vicious, LP, PL-1007

The very first album of Salt N Pepa (1986),where they used the sample of the Amen break, side B track 2 (I Desire).
I cannot recall any hip hop (artist) who used the break before this period,which means they must have been the first hip hop artists to use the Amen!
I know that only some artists used the Amen break ,3rd Bass,2 Live Crew,some hardcore hip/hop bands and of course in (1988) N.W.A also used it...,which is most famous song after that the Amen got used in the hardcore/jungle scene from 1991 till today!
It is too bad not too many hip hop artist made use of the Amen,as the combination with hardcore lyrics and the break is awesome.
This album is pretty good of Salt N Pepa, as they introduce themselves to the world,with good songs and fine lyrics in combination of the good beats and snares!
So Amen addict and Rap/junglists lovers ,grab this one..if you ever come across it!
"Cause I Desire"!
