It's true. Most of the JB's and other musicians in Mr. Brown's band didn't make any money (royalties) off of their musical contributions. It's sad the way this music industry is designed. Mr. Clyde Stuuberfield and Mr. Jabo Starks influenced a lot of drummers - even the rappers should pay a tribute to these great drummers.

Yea. Apparently he had stomach cancer a few years back and could barely pay for it. it's kind of sad.

Also... most people don't know this but his beats (from Funky Drummer) is the most sampled beat in history.

@fnkdrmmr from what i understand they only got paid from studio time they put in. which is insane! maceo and the jb's are amazing. ive been to see maceo at least 5 times. and every time it blows me away.

@muziquelle While the sample from funky drummer has been sampled A LOT .. it is not the most sampled drum pattern .. the AMEN Break would be the most sampled drum pattern of all time.. look it up.. amen break.

@muziquelle

I thought the most sampled beat was the Amen Break?

@fnkdrmmr oh and yo, clyde came out in an interview himself, and when asked about how many times he has been sampled, he said he thought it was awesome.

@fnkdrmmr but i definitely think there should be more respect from hip hop artists to soul artists... i don't think people should pay for sampling if they do more than just loop the main melody of the song... instead, they should just credit the sampled artist... as like a reinterpretation or something, know what i mean? that's fair, if you ask me. hip hop is helping keep these artists alive, and i would be flattered if i were sampled.

@fnkdrmmr i wasn't talking about drums. 90% of the hip hop guys i listen to don't even loop drums, they just take the individual sounds and reprogram the sequence (which i don't consider stealing). looping drums and not paying for them is definitely bullshit. i was just saying, if you watch interviews with DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, Pete Rock, etc. they will almost all give credit to their influences in soul music...
