The B-side was "Roy C's Theme".[3] SignificanceThe song is famous for having its drum pattern being one of the most adapted beats in hip hop, R&B and jazz 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. The last 2 or 3 hits in the pattern are the exact section that became a cliche for 90s jazz music. Songs that sample Impeach The President tend to have very progressive intentions and lyrics. Below is a rough list of songs which sample or interpolate the song and its drum intro: Samples by others1980s
