Quem um dia imaginaria que um solo de bateria de 20 segundos influenciaria toda uma geração de artistas do Pop e do Hip-Hop…?!
Março de 1970… Chega às paradas americanas mais um clássico do inigualável “James Brown”, “Funky Drummer”. Durante a sua gravação em estúdio, em 20 de Novembro de 1969 em Cincinnati, Ohio, “Clyde Stubblefield”, baterista integrante da “The James Brown Orchestra” assina seu nome no rol da fama musical com um autêntico solo de bateria para finalizar Funky Drummer com chave de ouro. Certamente Stubblefield não imaginou que seu solo faria a cabeça de muitos nomes importantes do cenário musical como “Public Enemy”, “LL Cool J”, “Beastie Boys”, “NWA”, “Run DMC”, “Sinead O’Connor” e até mesmo “Kenny G” que explicitamente o sampleariam para a construção de seus respectivos clássicos. Mas onde está a grande polêmica neste caso…?! Durante quatro décadas esta poderosa linha de batidas de Stubblefield foi usada e abusada pelos artistas, porém, poucas vezes se teve o devido reconhecimento de sua criação, seja em créditos nos álbuns, ou o pior, por meio de royalties, o que seria mais digno neste caso. No entanto, mesmo com o esforço de obter o devido reconhecimento de sua obra, Stubblefield era impedido de receber, pois todos os créditos iam sempre para Mr. Dynamite como compositor da música.

The driver turned toward the taxi again. Pat soon, he opened the door lock, slowly opened the door. 2 As usual, the informant did not 70-346 Exam leave a name. Therefore, there is Examtestview no other way to pour back into the past to understand what the reporter said is a piece of open space. The headquarters radio said He said it was on the 37th Street near Eleventh Street. Those at the Notification Center never figured out where the exact location of the murder 70-346 Exam was. Although it is nine oclock in the morning, it has made people sweat more than 70-346 Exam hot. Emilia Shakes lay aside a tall grass thatch. She is conducting a search of light – a jargon of crime scene investigators Examtestview 210-065 test – searching for suspicious objects with an S-shaped route. Nothing at all She looked down at the intercom on the dark blue uniform shirt. Patrolman 5885 calls 70-346 Exam headquarters without any notice.

Just call 10-90, report that without any discovery, you can return to 210-065 test the Si Si area, it is her daily patrol area. Her knees hurt and she felt as if she had been roasted on a terrible August day. She just wanted Bestexamview to slip to the 70-346 Exam Port 70-346 Exam Bestexamview Authority and get stuck with the Little Bestexamview Furrier there and come back to a large can of Arizona iced tea. Then, at eleven thirty – just two hours now – she was able to clear the drawers in the south section of Midtown and go to the lower Bestexamview town for training. But Examtestview she finally did not do this. She can 70-412 Exam 210-065 test not leave this briefing without answering the phone 70-412 Exam call. As she continued to move Bestexamview on, she walked along the hot sidewalk through the path between the two abandoned apartments and into another covered, planted area. She slid her slender forefinger down into her flat-top hat and scratched it with irresistible restraints through layers of long, red hair Bestexamview on her head. In order to 70-346 Exam scratch more scalp, she simply Examtestview Bestexamview Examtestview faded her cap side, while crazy scratch. Sweat Bestexamview streaming down her forehead, itchy, so she fiercely 70-346 Exam blew a few brows.
She was thinking Only the last two hours of patrolling in the street were available, and I could survive. Shakes continued. The first time she felt uneasy this morning as she walked into a bush. Someone is watching me. The hot wind blew through the dry bushes 210-065 test and made 70-412 Exam the rustling sound. A car truck ran full steam ahead of the Lincoln Tunnel. She remembered one thing the patrolmen would often think of the city was so noisy that I could not detect if someone came back to me behind me and Examtestview walked to lift me up with a knife. Or take my back as a target She turned quickly. Nothing except leaves, rusty machines and rubbish. When climbing a pile of stones, the knee pain so she could not help but shrink body. Bestexamview Emily Shakes, 31, is afflicted with joint inflammation – her mother often says youre 31 It is inherited from her grandfather, just as she inherited her mothers good figure, her fathers good looks and occupation Bestexamview as long as the red hair no one can say it. She slowly passed through a cluster of dead shrubs, a sharp pain on her knees. Thanks to her prompt closing, she did not drop a steep 210-065 test 30-foot deep slope. Below her 70-412 Exam was a gloomy gorge that cut 210-065 test deeply through the bottom of Examtestview the West End. The railroad tracks of the U.S. Railroad Passenger Transport Company run through the canyon and the 210-065 test train goes to the north. 70-412 Exam She narrowed 70-346 Exam her eyes and looked to the bottom of the canyon Examtestview not far from the tracks. what Bestexamview is that Is inserted in a circle of soil has been turned over the twigs It looks like Europe, my god The sight of her made her shiver. Bestexamview Nausea suddenly rose, burning 70-346 Exam like a flame burning her skin. For a moment she really wanted to 70-412 Exam turn around and escape, pretended nothing was seen. But 70-346 Exam she tried hard to suppress the idea in 70-412 Exam my heart. He hopes the victim is dead. This is the best. She runs to Bestexamview an iron staircase that leads from the sidewalk to the canyon. She stopped in time as she Examtestview grabbed the balustrade of the iron staircase. bad The murderer has escaped in all likelihood, and is likely 70-412 Exam to have left the ladder. If she touches the railings, she may undermine the 70-346 Exam 210-065 test mark he left behind when he ran away. Okay, then well waste something. She took Bestexamview a deep breath and held back the pain of the knee joint. She inserted the deliberately polished bright boot into the crevice of the stone on the first day of her new job and began to climb down the rock 210-065 test 70-412 Exam wall. She was still four feet off the ground and jumped straight to the place where it was buried. My God It is not a branch that extends from under the ground 70-412 Exam it is a mans hand.

She stared at the ring finger of the hand all the muscles had been cut off, the red of the bones of the Examtestview fingers, set with a huge female diamond ring. Shakes knelt on the ground, began digging down. The soil fluttered under her hands as a dog. She 210-065 test found that 70-412 Exam those fingers that had not been 210-065 test cut were wide open, Bestexamview pointing in the direction that their fingers would not normally bend. This shows that the victim was still alive Examtestview when the last shovel of mud buried 70-412 Exam his face. Examtestview Maybe its still alive now. Shakes desperately dug soft soil, her hands were shattered by pieces of glass, dark Examtestview red blood and dark red soil mixed together. This persons hair is exposed, followed by a bluish, gray forehead due to lack of oxygen. She continued digging 70-412 Exam until she 70-412 Exam saw the dull eyes and mouth of the man.

For a while, her mind was empty and could not think of anything, only knowing that a man was buried to die like this. Then she reminded herself Be strong, baby. In front of you is the scene of a homicide together, and you are the first police officer Examtestview present. You know what to do ADAPT, adapt. A is the current arrest of Arrest. D is a major eyewitness and suspect to Detain. A is Assess murder scene. P is P what is it She bowed her head towards the walkie-talkie Patrolman 5885 calls headquarters.
