The Funky Drummer

[Joshua27270]

LL Cool J

Public Enemy

Ice Cube

[classicev]

it says "aint it funky ha"

[HANDYMANNWien]

the most sampled sample in history of hip hop

[valireality]

Lord Finesse & Percee P

[jrepollo]

Public Enemy - Rebel Without a Pause

[jrepollo]

@jrepollo not the first, but where I remember the sample the most.

[insanelook]

Question : who's the first band (rappers) to ever use this sample in a rap ?

[longview1987]

been listening to a lot of Marley Marl shit lately, I think 1/3 of his beats use this break

[spenceDc]

She wore a tie-die dress, she was a psychedelic mess

[dwells1986]

Definitely the most sampled song in all of hip-hop, hands down. And Clyde Stubblefield doesn't see a dime of it. James Brown's estate does. Like if you think this is an injustice!

[iL0VEwomensfeet]

oh shit..this is the beat that KID -N-PLAY used in most of their rap songs..!

[petebennett14]

Sublime - Scarlet Begonias

[2114dtrain]

sounds like "eatin punkin" to me....god ha!!!!!

[drummerdudex023]

ain't it funky

[daveman2k]

Need a bucket? :D love this stuff

[jammmon]

in the song 'Hello Goodbye' (1967)

you can hear Ringo playing some funky rhythms at the end of the song too :)

[Marcsafon]

Hattie Cursey brought me here.

[supermatt14]

[12inchvertical]

Add Waiting for that Day by George Michael as another song based around this astounding drum loop

[whatupmaaan]

@tommybwilson379 nas = my favorite rapper (along with KRS) sublime = my favorite band (along with the clash) so yeah

[mahcatiscool]

[DanteDevil2727]

Scarlet Begonias

[BaronsNavy]

@DanteDevil2727: Right? I keep expecting Brad to jump in with the guitar, heh.

[snotchstar]

I'll always be a hiphop head, but I gotta admit Scarlet Begonias was one of the best songs to sample this.

[colourfulwithaU]

Only Clyde does it this smooth.

[Jevan2010]

Facts says: This is the Most sampled song in History

[AimiriZ]

@Jevan2010

Nah, lyn collins' think, and amen brother are sampled way more often.

Then again, there are no statistics to prove either of us right. ( I'm right though :P )

[TheEloeo]

@Jevan2010 I would say "Amen Brother".

[Dlazybeatbox]

@Jevan2010 lol what do you expect with a break like these ^^

[sampsonwilcox]

@Jevan2010 This beat is the back bone of hip hop

[ImDeadAtBirth]

@Jevan2010 this and amen brother (aka: the amen break). combined, they have spawned countless artists/genres/generations of music. interesting how so much can be born from so little. (little being small samples)

[mrbloke11]

@Jevan2010 What about Amen Brother?

[stevebeagle]

it's a toss up between this & the Amen break,,all (6 seconds of it) that has built the foundation for tons of great shit.

[olneymaryland77]

first place i heard this was in sumblime's scarlet begonias cover. so funky

[eXPerienceyeah]

Whistle posse blo blo blo blo blo blo blo blo blo blo blo

[RuthlessCriminal408]

[hyphymovement203]

Just cos theres so many tunes that have sampled this i mite aswell ask whuts every1s favourite use of this break in a song? For me its gotta be eric b & rakim - lyrics of fury. Rakim + The funky drummer break...need i say more

[astonehunter]

Yes, sir. I remember growing up in the Bronx when the DJ's would take two LP's of this groove, and cut back and forth to keep that thump magic going for what seemed to be forever while the MC's (now called Rappper's did they thing). This was before someone got the bright idea to go to the studio and record it. They called them "Block Party's back then! Right on people, let it all hang out!!!!!

Where is DJ Galaxy????

[wtfchillson]

He came back.. in the same suit that he was buried in.

[mikeb1444]

Clyde is bangin' away, James walks in and says "damn, ain't it funky?" Someone in the back says "Fuck it, let's record it. It's funky."

[hesteaeble]

Yes! The rhythm, the rebel.

[abvflux]

[JonnyKasabian]

The Stone Roses

[elementz1986]

@JonnyKasabian

Did the Stone Roses use this beat?

[JonnyKasabian]

@elementz1986 yep, the Stone Roses loop'd the beat to their dance classic Fool's Gold in 1989 .

[MadSkeletonnnnnnnnnn]

[faceindawind]

Long original version is the only way to go. This blows.

[OsCassador]

what a epic hair cut!

[anjundoobies89]

im always randomly discovering where sublime got their samples from, they usedd this drum loop in their intro of their cover of grateful deads "scarlet begonias"

[broccolihart1]

[rclosure]

@hyphymovement203 Don't trip, G. Muthafuckas sleep on this one, Yo. School 'em!!!

[TheUntouchableOutlaw]

Rakim - Lyrics Of Fury. The God.

[hombrerelents]

Why don't kits sound as deep, soulful and funky as this now?

[Kobeownzu81]

@hombrerelents this is a beautiful sound from the snare

[Kriojinik]

@hombrerelents Early rap made them expensive to sample. Now we're stuck with the euro-hop sound until more musicians can emerge on the hip hop scene.

[vipersian]

straight outta compton, crazy motherfucka name ice cube, a gang called nigga with aittude@

[ThomasvsPercyvsToby]

The PowerPuff Girls??

[Lioyd1rving]

@ThomasvsPercyvsToby You're thinking of the Amen break, from "Amen, Brother".

[MrLRice]

Dis is so cold....... How many rappers have used this beat break??

[colenbrak]

lord finesse vs percee p classic battle!

[fnesb]

Is anyone sure that Clyde actually created this beat? James himself was a great musician and according to a video biography I saw, James thought nothing of grabbing the drumsticks or even a guitar and demonstrating a drumbeat or solo the way HE wanted it played, he didn't take no junk either. Just a thought.

[mapexblack]

@fnesb Clyde nor Brown created this beat, as its a drum beat.. they just happened to record.. although the rest of what you say... you may have a point

[Da5thSith]

Much luv to Clyde Stubblefield for making one of the illest drum solo ever to put transend into Hip-Hop...His royalties is makin his beat keep goin for many generations to come.From Soul Train to your I-Pod this beat is still hot so go nod ya head off this one time...Ain't It Funky???

[KADG81]

[SpazmaticAttack]

[DoesNotExist305]

@stevefromPA2 I believe so, yes.

[TheBoxOfBeats]

[Roodypoocandyass]
