O baterista Clyde Stubblefield tocou com James Brown durante seis anos, porém o seu legado extendeu-se por gerações até os dias de hoje. Suas batidas cheias de suíngue pra clássicos como “Get Up, Get Into It, Get Involved“,  “Say It Loud – I’m Black And I’m Proud“, e principalmente o clássico break de “Funky Drummer” são considerados algumas das bases de criação para o hip-hop.

Clyde Stubblefield faleceu no mês passado e o phd em música boa, Gilles Peterson, soltou mais uma de suas trilhas sonoras de homenagem a esse grande mestre da música. De James Brown à Public Enemy, passando por Boogie Down Productions, Common, The Pharcyde, Big Daddy Kane, entre muitos outros.

RIP Clyde Stubblefield April 18, 1943 – February 18, 2017
