@SDoGG420 Well, it seems you are right: "All my life I’ve been wondering about my money," he said. "People use my drum patterns on a lot of these songs. They never gave me credit, never paid me. It didn’t bug me or disturb me, but I think it’s disrespectful not to pay people for what they use." From hiphopdx.com
Nice feature on Clyde. What about the break from "Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved"? The hi-hat pattern (also entire beat) on 777-9311 is from a Linn drum machine.
Excellent! What strikes me about Clydes playing is that he so relaxed (almost laid back). And i guess this whole relaxed vibe fits the sound and the "cool" aesthetic of the songs perfectly. A living legend.
good info but it was drummer nate jones on give it up or turnit loose on the studio take later with bootsy on bass on the sex machine lp. nate was another bandmate didnt get his props
@tonyjrify Nate Jones played on the original 1968 recording of 'Give it up or a turn it loose' but Clyde Stubblefield played the iconic JB's 'clap your hands & stomp your feet' break version with Bootsy Collins - and it's a much better version all round....
i will really appreciate if somebody can help me to find the song that shows in this video at minute 4, im searching it for years and i heard that here.. thanks
On the plus side, I heard when Clyde got sick in the late 90's (cancer I think), people who sampled him set up a charitable foundation to raise the money for his medical fees.
@fango2006 - the only people who got paid some royalties were James and Polydor, Brown paid all his musicians wages like session men and claimed songwriting credits... unfair, but pretty much standard at the time. Same goes for say, Idris Muhammed, who playing on a Lou Donaldson track sampled by Tribe Called Quest but Lou took the money. It must be the biggest irony of paying sample fees.
6:00 to 6:50=EPIC!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!

As far as getting props, it's good to see this influential man get some these last few years. He's an icon to music as Bill Russell is to basketball.

This guy was the master of those funky shuffle beats and every drum & bass or breakbeat fan understands that.

Great blog man. I just hope Clyde got his 30 years worth of sample royalties from these beats, he deserves it.

Don't forget the contributions of Jabbo Starks...Stubblefield and Starks were the funkiest men alive and knew how to compliment each other.

@onlydlonly420 I'm pretty sure it is. I think what people mean is that Clyde is the person who's beats are sampled the most.

Hope Clyde got at least some recompense from the guys that used his stuff sample wise. Probably not a? Seems grossly unfair really. Wicked Beats.
