    Honestly all this has taught me is that James Brown is a musical and business genius, seeing the explosion in popularity of sampling coming down the line and rereleasing his music in easy to sample form specifically to cater to it, not only making him even more money but cementing him as one of the most important people in the artform.
    Edit: I don't know why everybody is acting like I called the man a gentleman and a saint. I said he had a shrewd head for business and music trends and leveraged it to make himself a permanent mark on history. So did P.T. Barnum, I don't think anybody would claim he's a role model.

      ​@wednes3dayif youre talking about Clyde, thats just how business works. If you invent a new product or something while at work, on company time, that new idea then is usually owned by the company. You'd have to seperate yourself entirely, or have it in writing before hand, of any rights you retain. If you disregarded that kind of rule, in the eyes of a business owner, things could get out of hand fast.

      I can imagine a lot of breakcore borrows from previous music, as does many other genres, from within or without. Also I admit Powerpuff Girls is the only reason I know of the term "breakcore". Much like the "Deja Vu"/"Dance Dance Revolution" genre from "Eurocore".

Nowadays AI is so invasive they scan every document, correct things and try to take the human feel out of documents.

  • @andreiromanov9566

    it's really sad that drummers like John Starks, Clyde Stubblefield and Gregory Coleman -- the man behind amen break -- received no royalties or recognition, despite gifting us with some of the most sampled and recognised drum breaks in history. While it's good that those breaks are free to use and we got a lot of cool and great songs because of it, it's a shame that their authors were barely acknowledged for it. It's especially heartbreaking for Coleman, who died homeless and unaware of the impact he made on music :(

      If you mean that it is partly built on it, then it is fair to say. But I would emphasize "partly" because music is built not only on the tears of black musicians.

      i recomand sampling Trouble Funk, its more bass heavy and uses a mix of a acoustic and a electronic drum.
      The kicks are often super sharp and the cymbals don't bleed as mush as acoustic drum loop like amen but i don't think Trouble could work for DnB due to how clean their drums are.
      Also Hippie's strut have a great drum break waiting to be sampled.

    Perhaps you could have mentioned that both drummers, Clyde Stubblefield and John "Jabo" Starks, were James Brown's drummers and part of his band: The JB's. Both men also worked with other huge names in the industry. These two fantastic drummers were practically the founders of the funk sound we know today. Both men came from a gospel and blues background. Clyde was used more by James Brown as the heavy, fast funk drummer, and Jabo Starks more for slower or swing/shuffle numbers. But this doesn't pigeonhole them, because they were both equally good and could play virtually anything. These two of my heroes got me into drumming, which I've been doing for several years now, along with teaching drums. If you'd like to know more about them, their drumming, or their stories about how they created certain James Brown songs, there's a fantastic documentary interviewing them both. It also features guest appearances by other James Brown legends: Fred Wesley (trombone) & Fred Thomas (Bass Guitar). This documentary is also on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/x-xGOV7mkdo/video.html.
    Thanks for the amazing video again, Synthet! Your editing style is so satisfying!

    Lay some respect on Bernard Edwards' name my man. A legendary bassist.
    As a bit of Trivia, Rodgers' released the song "I'll be there" with Chic in 2015, of note though is that the song is essentially just a cover of a song he and Edwards had writen for Sister Sledge way back in 1980. Supposedly, Rodgers deliberately intended to use the Edwards bassline to pay homage to his late best friend and partner in music, and thought it fitting to keep the guitar part he had written with him at the time

      There could easily be a multi hour long documentary about sampling or copying in video games. The Sonic Rush soundtrack heavily relied on samples, the original Megaman used a famous chord that's been in many songs, IIRC there was another Nintendo game with a song based on the Japanese pop-folk song Hashire Kotaro. Many early games from before dedicated game soundtracks became a thing used bits of classical pieces; Wolfenstein 3D used a mix of original compositions by Bobby Prince and recreations of German marches; Hydlide, one of the first action RPGs, originally used a segment of the Toreador Song, but its later NES port replaced this with samples of the Indiana Jones theme of all things; and rather infamously a music box version of the Toreador Song is also played during a power outage in the original Five Nights at Freddy's.

    Even deeper is that Good Times itself is taking inspiration from how funk artists approach a jam. The first bar is an ostinato on the tonic, followed by a bar of improvisation. Basically, the bass player defines a groove and root, then the rest of the players respond to it. Vulfpeck have a great track "3 on E" that nods to this directly. Once you notice the motif you can hear it everywhere across funk, disco, hip hop, etc
