Keepin' Time. I videoed a DJ Shadow special from MTV 2 a couple of nights ago which I just sat down to watch. That finished then a video for The Message came up so I left the tape running then the drums came on with the title Keepin' Time.
This is a short film bringing together the original guys behind most of todays hip hop beats and the DJ's that now use them. Basically they put together in the same room Paul Humphrey (responsible for the Root Down session by Jimmy Smith,) Earl Palmer (one of Axelrod's drummers) and James Gadson (rsponsible for Dyke and the Blazers, Charles Wright etc)wit the Beat Junkies (Babu,Cut Chemist etc)
They then got he Dj's to cut up live in front of them some of the drummers beats and they then had a call and response session between the drums and the turntable.
This is one of he coolest things I have ever seen. Has anyone else seen this???
