  • Beat making

    No, I didn't make a beat, but I wonder what Jeff's hourly rate is considering that he knocks this out in 15 minutes:

    SIR DUKE

    Stevie Wonder is my main man - and there will be rivers of tears when he passes - but when mainstream radio inevtiably plays Sir Duke as a tribute, I will turn off the radio...

      

    I don’t rate it much either. I think it’s the corny-to-my-ears intro that ruins it. However, this helped:

  • NYT article about recreating the Funky Drummer

    Glad to see that this article was not behind the NYT paywall. 

    His obsession to match Clyde's playing is surely interesting from a musician's perspective but I find the commercial motivation behind it at least equally fascinating:

    "Clearing samples to incorporate them in new songs can get expensive if you follow the proper legal channels. Since music involves two types of copyright, one for the musical work (the composition) and one for the recording (the capture of a performance), producers came up with the cost-cutting idea of recording new versions of those vintage fragments.

    “One reason a cover version is automatically easier to license than a sample is that it only implicates one of the copyrights, the composition one,” .


    Here's another way to go about this issue:
