R..P. J Dilla! Detroit loves you baby!

pano said on Sunday, 07 August 2011:
from what I can hear the bongos in the sampled part are directly in the center of the track (stereophonically speaking).
that could make it possible to filter them out.
The method is the same for all those “voice removal software”. :-)

(btw: this needs more votes!)

what i'm wondering is how he removed the bongos from the ahmad jamal song
