Just heard for the first time, Fast Food Funkateers and Return Of The Fast Food Funkateers by Jara Harris' band Slapbak. Holy shit, can these guys throw down some nasty funk!! They now have a new disciple in me. Are there any other Slapbak fans on this?

Big Time fan here. Jara's a genius & Slapbak is the only band holdin it DOWN these days, IMO.

Only gripe? They don't TOUR enough. Boys?????? Hello????????????????????? you could be HUGE!!

get on the fuckin ROAD.

I can't believe the amount of songs that they have on YouTube, just goes to show that the Funk is still with us.

I've checked out Slapbak before and they are pretty good.

No exposure though. I think they are under the same management

team(P Music group) Charlie Wilson and Mint Condition are.

They toured with Snoop, so i don't know what evolved from there. I think they got some recognition on a few tv-shows who interviewed them as a result of that tour.

One or more of those tv-shows are (or were) on youtube. I also have mixed thoughts about some situations of rappers performing with bands.

Great that there's a hiphop/musicians-group like The Roots, because i remember visiting in the past a few hiphop-shows from rappers with a band and at

certain moments the rappers would stop the musicians in the middle of a jam, shouting like "Cut that shit ! cut that shit !" ... ... it felt disrespective and

unprofessional to me. I love a good joint of hiphop-artists who mix their rhymes with funk and other grooves (Dj Quik, Outkast, Sugafree, and a whole

bunch of olskool : Sugar Hill label, Whodini, etc...), but that live-attitude of cutting a band off just annoys me. Maybe i'm too olskool to get that
