It's not actually a rap song, but the drum break in the song, Amen Brother, released in 1969. The break starts @ ~ 1:26 and only last ~ six seconds. The drum break was performed by Gregory "G. C." Coleman of The Winstons. It eventually became one of the most sampled in hip hop and is used in a half dozen other genres/sub-genres.
