And.. Shout out to Bernard Purdie for the Kick Snare a hihat Action!

[Khaliqdialectic]

RIP Melvin Bliss and RIP and shout out to Herb Rooney who created & Produced this track. Mr Melvin Bliss was the singer on this joint indeed but Herb Rooney created what became a lot of Hip Hop Do Wop & R&B Classics. Like Synthetic Substitution, It's your thing Isley Bros., A Little Bit Of Soap sampled by De La Soul, I want you to be my girl-Frankie Lymon...Herb Rooney was a serious writer.

Schooly D! Saturday Night, or UltraMagnetic, too Public Enemy! that's the dope break!

[mistabeekeeper]

hey mr melvin i check out this song . it had me floored. ive heard sample at the begining of naughty by nature's o.p.p. and it got everybodys attention. i couldn't belive bernard purdie play drums on the track. this guy has 2000 album credits to his resume. this drummer should be in the world record book.

[Pirate7X]

Respect always!

[phillydisco]

I hope the documentary at least says where it was recorded. If it was anywhere away from NYC, then it's highly unlikely Bernard Purdie played on it. If you listen to the A side, Reward, it sounds nothing like him either, and I imagine they'd use the same musicians on both tracks.

[Raakuna]

when is this coming out ?

[1973MrMelvin]

@Raakuna it should be out by mid april.

[rarjungle]

search this title on youtube: "Video explains the world's most important 6-sec drum loop"

this video says the break was first heard in 1969. it's the same as "amen brother" break?

[saw2d]

i absolutely can not wait to see this documentary when it comes out. r.i.p. melvin bliss and thank you for putting out such a great record.

[watchingwater]

Rest In Peace To A Man Who is So Important To hiphop that words could never describe take time to show respect to a music icon Melvin Bliss

[HorusRising]

@whackpiktures Well said.

RIP Melvin Bliss...

[DXARECORDS]

thank you melvin bliss!  and pretty purdie!

[leroyprc]

this just does not sound like pretty purdie. i can smell purdie-beats from miles away, but here we have no purdie-like open-hihat offbeat fill-ins and no tom fill-ins and the set sounds different from his at that time. i don't know... don't wanna doubt mr. bliss though.

[wreckords]

@leroyprc Bernard Purdie claimed to have played on a number of Beatles records as well and whenever I listen to any Beatles record, I don't hear any of Bernard's traditional hi-hat offbeat fill-ins neither. I guess at the end of the day drummers had so much discipline in those days, they could disguise or tone down their normal trademark style to fit a particular artist if they had to. Alphonse Mouzon did the same exact thing on the Headless Heroes record.

[phillydisco]

@leroyprc I hear what you are saying. Purdie's groove is very distinctive. He changed it slightly as he moved from jazz funk to disco funk, but the ghosting was always present. I can hear him on uncredited performances such as Jimmy McGriff's Electric Funk to Badder Than Evil's 'The Chase'.

It sounds like this track was just a filler, so why go to the trouble of hiding Purdie's style? If anything, you'd think they'd try to play it up since his sound was the money maker.

[MosDef3000]

i was thinking about half hour ago, how did not ever anyone did an documentary about the famous hip hop breaks....this is for sure is in the top 3 most important hip hop breaks of all time!

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

@MosDef3000 easily top 3.

[wreckords]

i hear you, opus. it's about time something like this came out. thank you melvin for the music, this is LOOOOOOOOOONG overdue. been listening to synthetic substitution from way back.
