I'd Rather B With U

Bootsy Collins Rubber Band. "I'd rather B with U" is a classic. True funk man shit the track is fire.The beat, the natrual finger snaps in the back round snapin' 2 the beat. The lyrics powerful, beautiful, sexy 4 a womans heart. Ya'll just listen 2 the lyrics, that shit is deep 2 a high degree of passion, that shit is tight man. I hope ya'll know what I'm talkin' about in here. Just the name "I'd rather B with U" says it all. Just those 5 words can send chills of emotion though a woman's spine. Base line is tight, just the whole musicianship of the song is a Funk masterpiece. 1 of my favorite songs. I just thought I'd share. C if any1 else sees this song as I do. Bootsy Coolins, George Cliton is in there aswell, wacky funky funky base line, finger snaps is what it is. I'd rather B with U baby. If U have not already heard it and I know y'all have, check it out. What ya'll think of this funk masterpiece.


I'd rather B with U until I'm through
Oh yes I do
I'd rather B with U until that day we'll fly away
I just love that smilin' face in the early sun
If I cant have U 2 myself, then life's no fun

I'd rather B with U, yeah
Yeah I'd rather B with U
I wanna hold Ur hand, Oh
if I could just B Ur man
I wanna B Ur friend
Not now and then, but until the end
I just love the way U act, and thats a fact
I wanna B Ur number 1, so picture that


Maybe next time
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
Maybe next time
Yeah, I'd rather B with U
Maybe next time I get 2 B with U

That was 4 U. They know U they R.


Thank U
Peace Always rose wilted

This is one of the greatest funk ballads ever written. This song is an example of music being able to take you places. It puts you in a zone. Cosmic trippin' at its finest!

As all of ya'll know, I ran a thread on here dealing with "Munchies For Your Love and Telephone Bill". "I'd Rather Be With You" is my favorite Bootsy ballad, AFTER "Munchies". Off of Bootsy's debut album, no less. Great liquid funk that, besides The Isleys, only Bootsy can give.

Yeah!!! I had a boot-leg concert of his opening for P-Funk's Mutha-Ship tour....

The one that's on dvd now....

While doing this groove, he tells the ladies to "Pop yo' fingers baby!!"...

"I wanna hear those pops baby"!!!
"Way down fellas"!!!(telling the band members to bring the music down..)
"I wanna hear the pops!!!

Then he said:

"Now, in order for me to give up the funk', You got to give up the funk!"

"Keep those fingers poppin', and we gon' CREAM together baby!! Oh yeah!!!

You gonna see me coming babaaay!!..lol

"We gon' cream at the same time"...

You can hear the ladies going wild afterwards...Then he did a solo....

Nastee-ness at its best!!! biggrin

Love that part.....

Bootsy was on it!!!! cool
