To groove in the pocket, you have to return to the classics. It may seem easy, but just learning those lines definitely help out the groove.
1) The Meters
2) The JB's
3) The Blue Breakbeats Series from Blue Note. This is a compilation of the original recordings that many hip hop artists have sampled from. There are many great basslines in these recordings. If you are into hip hop from the 80's and
90's, and not this new junk on MTV and the radio, then this volume set is great!
