I wish it'd play through the whole thing in order at the end
If you never play the original sample, you never have to worry about royalties. :rollsafe-think-about-it:
Even if you do, you don't.[0]

And a tragic story at that: >Coleman died homeless and destitute in 2006. It was unlikely he was aware of the impact he had made on music. Neither he [band leader Spencer] nor Coleman received royalties for the break.
"Samples" were kind of like musical memes in the 1980s. What made for a good sample had a lot more to do with convenience and luck. The sounds that were picked for drum samples had more to do with how useful they were - the dynamic range, how isolated the drums are, how easy they were to mix. The other famous drum sample - the "Funky Drummer" as drummed by Clyde Stubblefield for James Brown, Stubblefield didn't think…

My personal prize for the most chopped amen goes to Breakage’s Final mix of Equinox’s Acid Rain VIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKlz6_I4vY
Worlds colliding here. We're dropping amen selections now? Some classics that sound like what the app is sortin': Remarc - Sound Murderer (Loafin' in Brockley Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SUdpCVITxc Splash - Babylon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vghx8SEeH8 DJ Krome & Mr. Time - The License https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPa5JBg8hZI Source Direct - Secret Liason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfEWCVoB45s…
My particular favourite is in demoscene tracker music where Amen also went all over the place (and sampling more generally too!)
I'm not sure if the below is actual Amen-break (need to ask BrothomStates probably!) but it's certainly in the spirit of it and this is definitely near or at the top of my favourite demos ever, I just find it so damned cool! "The Day the Earth was Born" by TPOLM:

I saw a video about popular/influential/most-used samples the other week[0] and it mentioned James Brown becoming aware of sampling (I guess mid-late 90s?) and specifically making sure that anything he thought might be sample-able was "clean" from that point on.

Cool, but I don't see how it's sorting anything. It just seems to play a randomized arrangement of the slices. You can re-randomize as much as you like but there's no sort option as far as I can see.
I would suggest the author changes the UI to just show a number instead of a bar, to make this clearer.

I mean, look at any house or hip-hop track, sampling's like the most fundamental part of both genres. The track you've mentioned is the prime example of the blend of those two genres. Before the term Eurodance caught on, this track would be referred to as hip-house (as in hip-hop + house). Chicago and the broader NY area did it first, but it was a Belgian track that first topped the US charts (Technotronic's Pump Up…
That's why one of the super simple improvements I'd make to music copyright law, if I had to choose one thing rather than a massive overhaul, is for sampling to also be subject to the compulsory mechanical royalty system. So any artist could sample something, do some paperwork, and send of a fraction of royalties. Rather than the current system where you need explicit permission from the recording artist and have no…
I’m a big fan of the KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front) and when the artist says “no”, I’m always reminded of this funny, surreal story about the KLF physically destroying their music: http://klf.de/home/the-abba-incident/

Alas it would have been too late for Gregory Coleman himself.
Is there a statue of him somewhere?
