There may be a name to this song(s?), but I don't know it. Whatever it is, it's a clinic (and maybe literally as I think this could be from an instructional video).

Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals – Bubblin
Mr. .Paak ended our mix last year, so fitting for him to start off the nominations this year.

Clyde Stubblefield – Funk Thing
You don't have to do no soloing, brother, just keep what you got... Don't turn it loose, 'cause it's a mother. - James Brown to Clyde Stubblefield
Some drummers are all pyrotechnics. Some are all power. Others are rock-solid consistent. Not many could play one little twenty second break immersed in a ten-minute impromptu vamp and make an irresistible, booty-shakin' force that changes the landscape of music forever. There are probably more people in the world today who have – whether they realize it or not – heard a Clyde Stubblefield break or vamp than people who haven't. The Funky Drummer laid the rhythmic foundation of five decades and counting of the most popular music the world has ever known.
Bonus: Clyde and Jabo solo, together.
