@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

@Statarb1 he didn't nor will get a dime, he's didn't even get a thank you on almost all the records either... it's a shame

i would like to see a chopped and screwed version of this

This is great analysis. It is nice to see that there are people out there who love and appreciate this music as much as I do!
-
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.

Da-a-a-mn! Give the drummer some...
But he hit a yet funkier version at 5:06, that backbeat, it developed, go try play that!
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.

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