In this article by Ben Sisario for the New York Times he talks with Clyde Stubblefield who made his name as one of James Browns drummers. Clyde talks about his drums being used on countless hiphop songs but not getting anything for it.

The song is from 1989 but the video is new. Peace to Nice & Smooth, if you are too young and not familiar check out their first two albums.
I do a feature on the main site called Free Album Friday and I decided to share one on my tumblr too. Stones Throw put out six J Dilla tracks for the Serato Scratch Live called Donut Shop to read about it go here. Recently via their mailing list they gave out MP3’s of this release for free. “Bars & Twists” is my favorite of the batch. You can download the six tracks from Stones Throw at http://stonesthrow.com/jdilla-donutshop.zip
El-P “Time Won’t Tell”
“A mix of hip hop instrumentals, re-edited into triple time in a gratuitous and blasphemous fashion. Snares on the downbeats are removed, waltz time ensues. Tracks butchered are by Jay Dee (RIP), The Roots, De La Soul, D’Angelo, Common, Q Tip, Black Star, Flying Lotus and others.” - DJ Nikey
