That's a pretty good comparison, actually. They both have a really good feel and sense of time, just not...funky.
It says something about the musicianship in Hip-Hop, the fact that ?uestlove gets so much attention for actually, you know, playing real drums. Again, not hatin' on him (just statin', LOL), but I can name so many drummers who are funkier: Clyde Stubblefield; Jabo Starks; Idris Mohammad; Alan Evans (Soulive); Zigaboo Modeliste; Mike Clark; Melvin Parker; Sheila E; Prince...hell, even Stewart Copeland in a white-boy-reggae kind of way. If there were more real drummers in Hip-Hop, ?uestlove wouldn't be getting so much attention.
