I don't know if the title is "Bootsy's Back" or "Bootsy Is Here", I just know that Eazy E. sampled it for "We Want E-Z"... shrug What's the correct title?

(MFunka walks up to Timmy84) - We're gonna set a Funk Spending Limit on your Funk Express Card because of that error you made. If within one week we see that you're able to handle the Funk, we will then set your limit back to unlimited. biggrin

Nah, it's just that, shoot, you have to try to dissect what is funky and what is not. Nothing Jermaine did was funky at all but Stevie tried with LGS... shrug

I gotta learn how to separate the real funk songs from the fake ones... razz

Right. STEVIE can do funk. Jermaine can't. That's the difference.

And don't worry. As time goes on you'll be able to spot the Frauds of Funk. lol
