as you are well aware, even in hip-hop there is more to being a producer than making a beat. with technology and so many skilled engineers, the record-sampled aesthetic you're referring to can be synthesized/recreated. it's a collaborative process. you do your due diligence and book the studio, the drummer plays, and you and who you choose to work with capture it and turn it into the sound you want. we see with this topic and so many similar stories what the alternative can be.

>guilt trip him? lol....

it's something i've been getting at for years when it comes to these still living drummers behind classic breaks, many of whom have health problems, including clyde. i'm not singling out double 0, i just seized the opportunity to ask since he feels strongly about these musicians and he has skill and other means as a producer.
