Ahmir on the beat

from The Roots (Ft. Yasiin Bey) – Double Trouble Lyrics 4 on Rap Genius

Ahmir was very proud of this particular beat. He explained in the TFA liner notes:

[O]f all the songs I drummed on, this is my proudest moment. For the longest I’ve been trying to achieve some sonic dirt sounds on these drums since the pre-Organix days…[T]his time I found what I needed to sound more like an old school Marley Marl joint….as opposed to a Brand New Heavy joint
