does he give a reason why? He says it's "a bunch of nothing." It was just a jam, and he doesn't think it's a particulary good beat. He doesn't want to be defined by it. And he only played it once since he recorded it. | |

Money doesn't play a role in his rating of songs ... or he'd say that his entire legacy was shit. | |

But dissing "The Funky Drummer" is like dissing the "Mona Lisa" if you're Leonardo da Vinci, lol JMHO. | |

Well yeah, but maybe Leonardo thinks that the Mona Lisa was just some messin' around and is upset that his better work does not get it's credit .. | |

"FUNKY DRUMMER" IS THE BIRTH OF HIP-HOP.....PERIOD!!!!!
When they laid this beat down in the studio....."Funk" had a baby .....and they named it "HIP-HOP"!!!!!
Clyde Stubblefield is Hip-Hop's "Baby Daddy" and James Brown is the "Evil Step-Daddy" for not giving him writing credit!!!!!  [Edited 10/16/09 2:28am] | |
