I thought you'd enjoy this poster's comment, vain! wink

Once again, somebody splain to me (Lucy) how that fool Kanye West is sposed to be talented, cause after hearing the bad Barkays, the Ohio Players, Slave, etc. even the hip hop originals like DMC, how can anybody listen to that fool or Puffy Ego or any of them samplers and call em talented?

The Barkays were one of the most consistantly funky groups ever. Fast jams
slow jams, mid tempo jams. They did it all. In fact when I was young we would buy the Barkays album without even listening because we knew it would be good.
We gonna come on with the come on, gonna get down with the get down!

Trust and believe, they're out there, but the record companies aren't picking them up.

Oh hell yeah! That's my alltime favorite from them.

She's a real traffic jammer
A strong sexy hammer
With a body built direct from your mind
Everytime she turns the corner
She makes me wanna
Pull up
And blow from behind

I've got that one on DVD. It's on the "United We Funk Allstars" live DVD. They also perform "Anticipation" and "Freakshow On The Dancefloor" on that one. Unfortunately though, they didn't bring out the snake on it.

I'll be 75 and shaking ass in my walker. I'll be cussing out the little 60 year olds that grew up on shit hop and telling them to get their asses up out of their rocking chairs and shake their ass instead of bobbing their heads. If that doesn't work, I'll just beat the hell out of them with my cane. lol

Oh...yes...hug And I thought it was hard to find someone else who loves this as much as I do. I remember around 1997 I was in this club in Chicago called "Shelter" and the DJ in the VIP room bet me that I could not name a song he didn't know. I told him to play "Traffic Jammer" and he had NO clue! lol I won the bet and $50.

Ah! Thank God for Wikipedia! I knew that the drum outro had been sampled!

Just scroll to around 1:48.
