Great work on don't say nuthin from last week! You really got inside the feel and sound if the track. Thus week's break is "Chinese Chicken" on P25. Things to focus on: be really careful where the accented and ghosted snare drums are placed. Notice the way the groove is shaped almost the same in bar 2 and 3 and how this affects the feel of the whole phrase. 

Use ex 1-7 on page 29 to develop your 16th snare doubles. Watch the hi-hat does not dominate and both snare hits are even but not tense/ forced. 

Played it right: intro much better this week. Good relaxed approach, clean and well phrased sound. Now try working the simplified groove (essentially minus the snare ghost notes) into the first verse, again focus on the feel, don't over hit the hi-hat!
