Fire up the funk and let's jam. This was one hell of a jam from the King of Punk Funk, Mr. Slick Rick with a big black dick. He was taking names and fucking the dames, he was motherfucking Rick James.

I have that album on vinyl.

You need to DJ with talk like that, seriously.

Internet radio is easy, done on your time and you could spin the only shit that matters.

Love RJ BTW

still aint got this one on lp I dont even want Rick James albums on CD I want that good GORDY vinyl. Im missin the one with Mary Jane on it too....

When I DJ'd at new years, I brought out a sealed copy of this and opened it during my set to play "Fire It Up"

I've been talking that type shit for years. I think that's one of the reasons I tolerate shit hop less than other people, because I can definately write rhymes myself and have no musical ability when it comes to playing instruments, although I think I'm capable of learning. I can mix also. I see them as having no more talent than I have myself.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a DJ but around the time I graduated high school, music was first starting to take a turn for the worse. I would have absolutely refused to play stuff like Shitney Houston. It got even worse though. DJs eventually became the ones making records instead of playing, mixing, and creating something unique for the dancefloor. Mixing a rap record in a club would be like mixing a mix. When it comes to music, I think musicians should be the ones making the records and DJs should be the ones playing the records. That way, the music still remains actual "music" and both professions get to show their skills at their best and most entertaining.

Ain't nothing like vinyl, especially when it comes to Motown. Their CDs have a horrible sound quality.

You should check out my favorite Rick James song of all time, "Come Into My Life", which is on that album. Hell, even Michael Jackson fell in love with that bass line and had to use it.

I'll check it out vainandy.

For some reason I can't find Cold Blooded on vinyl lately. Every other one I have come across.

Good then, you agree. I love your comments on shit hop and what you add around here.

Let's get you on a podcast or a weekly radio show, how can I help?

"Cold Blooded" would be my favourite of his records.

Thank you.




That does sound like fun but there's no way I could do one. I don't even have a computer at home. I had planned on getting one with my income tax refund money. I almost bought one last weekend but I had a strange feeling telling me to save the money. Sure enough, the other day, my damn car broke down and it took $400 to fix it. When it rains, it pours.

I have seriously thought of mailing my sister (who lives for computers) some of my mixes, have her to download them into her computer, then download them to yousendit, then email me the link, and then I could post a few in a thread here on the org like Finess does sometimes. If I'm not mistaken, the mixes would have to be one long track and I have track numbers inserted into mine. Although I could re-record them onto one track. I would also have to re-record some of them anyway because they might have a Prince song in the middle of them and you know how he is about his shit being on the internet.

Yeah, I agree with you on this one Andy, Come Into My Life is a dope track, I love everything about it, hell thats a dope album, I wish Motown would get off of their lazy arses and release it and all of his other albums. I also love 'When Love Is Gone' thats a song that I feel expresses his songwriting ability and creativity, this is definitely one of Rick's best albums.

I bought this album about 4 years ago at a vinyl sale for 1 dollar and
it is in excellent condition. I like love gun too. I like the ballad
that closes the album. Can't think of the name for it right now but
i will pull it out tomorrow and check it out. I might even go on a vinyl
dig tomorrow.
