Hip Nip just sounds groovy. A drummer laid it on me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always seen my drumming as lyrical anyway.
Being a drummer, I'm always like, 'Oh, that's got a funky beat. That's cool,' and I like to dance.
Sometimes I hear a drum groove in my head and I rush down to my studio.
I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture.
Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.
I ran into Snoop one night. I was in the studio later, and I got this beat and thought he would sound great on it. I called him and he came right through that night.
I was a drummer, and I did a little singing too.
We hear so many records these days that are done with click tracks, as opposed to a drummer.
Had I joined a straight rock band, I'm sure my drumming would be a little bit different right now.
Its rock n' roll that has done my hearing in.
