R.I.P. Clyde Stubblefield

Recommended Posts

Stubblefields career has proven to be an interesting test case for questions about sampling and copyright law: As a session player, he never saw a dime from the galaxy of songs that sampled his work, although Prince - who considered Stubblefield a legend - apparently paid for $90,000 of the drummer's medical bills in the mid-2000s.

Me & a guy I use to live with used to watch that video over and over and over. Super dope, but the hi-hat pattern on Funky Drummer sounds like it has way more 16th notes on the actual record. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when it was recorded (not that a fly would have the cognitive apparatus to decode polyrhythms in any meaningful sense).

 

RIP

 

This was my tribute from many moons ago.
