Does this guy even know that Steely And cleive made those other beats for other producers 😂 did he even do a little research?

[@Monroesworld]

They are not fans of dancehall bro. They are just vultures. We who were born in it know this. All these were steelie/cleevie productions. These people will do anything to rewrite the black man's history.

Somebody told me that those drum patters came with the Yamaha or Casio keyboard from that era. Is that the true , the Chinese created it first. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@aggoldstein]

Im kinda with S&C on this. The S&C drum pattern IS the song with everything else as peripheral. Unlike most other drum beats which are periphery to the chords, melody etc

[@RandomMusicThoughts]

I kind of agree on some of the songs. But it seems their lawsuit is too broad. I mentioned "Calypso", and the only thing that has in common is the kick and snare pattern... and that pattern was around before DemBow.
