Impeach the President

The song is famous for having its drum pattern being one of the most adapted beats in hip hop, R&B, jazz and even pop music.[4][5][6] The hi-hat is lifted on the sixth note of the drum pattern, similar to "Hihache" by The Lafayette Afro Rock Band which does so on the 8th (which is hidden in several R&B songs) and this means that some songs which sample "Impeach" also interpolate "Hihache", e.g. Ronny Jordan's "Come with Me".
