I like it, but it's not funky. What are you smoking?!

I especially love the "how can we preech, when all we make this world to be, is a living hell torturing our minds..." - his voice is excellent there.

"Shout" is one of my favorite Michael Jackson records, however I wouldn't call it "funky". One of his funkiest records would be something like "Get On The Floor" or "Sunset Driver"

I never would have thought of funky, but that song is one of his best and soooo inspirational lyrically.

I don't know what genre that is but it's not funky.I'd say "you rock my world is more funky" but it's r&b. I think one of his funky tunes was "You're just another part of me"

Go back to Off the Wall and parts of Thriller for the "funky stuff". fro "Shout" is a dance-rock song.

It's an outtake from Invincible but the song could be on the album's European or Japanese editions, who knows?

I love the song. I remember thinking my CD player has just gotten broken when I first played it. lol But it´s an amazing song. One of my MJ favourites, too.

It's a dope song. I always felt it was left off of "Invincible" because the production is similar to "2000 Watts" and both tracks were produced by Teddy Riley.

A lot of the Jacksons' later material very funky! "Everybody" is one of my faves.

lol Well said and "The Things I Do For You" and "Walk Right Now" are calling, even though they are songs by The Jacksons.

I wouldn't say it's the funkiest, but of some of the lyrics he sang, you can't figure out what he's saying.

I would say Streetwalker and Super Fly Sister are some of his funkiest songs.

I don't really care for it. It's very throw-away. When I think about the outtakes that have been released and leaked since, there's really no excuse for what ended up coming out at the time.

It sounds like a prototype for Blackstreet's song "Wizzy Wow" from the Level II album mixed with Guy's "Do It" from the Guy III album.

I guess Teddy liked the elements and reused them.
