Finding his start in the segregated city and musical streets of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Stubblefield became the underappreciated source of the funk rhythm that powered the legendary success of James Brown. After six years of playing with the Godfather of Soul, however, Stubblefield had had enough. In 1970, Stubblefield settled down in Madison, Wisconsin, where he could be found playing funk, jazz, R&B, blues, rock and roll, Tex-Mex, and country music for almost anyone who asked. There he found a welcoming and appreciative community of musicians and admirers for the final forty-six years of his life. It was in Madison where Steinberg first met Clyde, befriended him, and asked to write the story of how Stubblefield became the most sampled drummer of all time and how the rhythms of the funky drummer emerged as the foundational sound of hip-hop—despite minimal recognition and compensation.

Get August's book here, directly from Monthly Review: https://monthlyreview.org/in-the-public-eye-black.../ Over the last decade, Cedric Robinson’s Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition has deeply shaped debates on the place of race within capitalist societies. Perhaps these questions are now settled, but at one time they were far too controversial: Is race subsumed by class, with the latter the sine qua non of capitalism? Do race and class act independently within modern societies? Or does capitalism inevitably express a deeper racial impetus in the West? August Nimtz defends Marxism from Robinson’s accusations of myopia on matters of race, suggesting that, in charging Marx and Engels with Eurocentrism, he either failed to understand, or misrepresented, their work—and that, in effect, many thinkers inspired by Black Marxism blatantly misrepresented Marxist texts Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop READ THE WEEKLY TIR NEWSLETTER HERE: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1853497 Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.
