Maannn this song... this song... damn... this song is just so cot damn funky... I can't even get a whole sentence together... it's the kida funky ish... that makes you're face frown up cuz it's so damn funky... I'm most definetly feelin' this high... it's packed with heat. I can see why James Brown is the most sampled artist of our time, cuz nobody and I do mean nobody can ever recreate this kind of funk... it makes you want to cuss outloud and slap yo' mama it's so damn funky. Damn I was born in the wrong generation

For all U James Brown worshippers out there ( myself included!!! ), he has a new cd out, ( or SOON coming out ) called James Brown: 50th anniversary. It contains 50 of his totally cool funk & soul gems. No, I havent got mine yet, BUT WILL! Just played his "greatest hits" cd's I DO own, the other nite, & STILL really dig him alot. Got me "down" & "funky"!!! U can hear ALOT of prince in his tunes. ( or is it the other way around? :LOL: Doesnt matter-both of them are the BEST! )

Grandbelle, tell me its not yet another greatest hits cd!. The Payback is sooo good, what do you think of Soul Power, Lickin' Stick and all the many other funk gems. Anyone who wants to get into JB dont buy greatest hits, be bold and buy the albums, there is sooo much funk on 'em.

grandebelle said:

yes G-belle...THE payback IS fonky! its the ultimate STEPPERS cut! i got so many JB collections...i don't need
this NEW one...STAR TIME is the best.

javed said:

Yeah, I think it is! Ashamed 2 admit, as much as I LOVE james, I have NOT yet heard or KNEW about payback. Is it very new? Back in the day, I bought ALL his albums. ( NOT just greatest hits ) "Lickin' stick" is an older hit of his too though. Love it. Just like with prince, I tend 2 buy ALL his albums, as there is no song among them I dont really dig. ( hit or not ) I just havent kept up of late, & I'm going 2 get them ALL, & yes, that includes his NEW 50 anniversary album. There is NO funk I dont like!

Now see, U guys R scarin' me! I havent heard of STAR TIME either! Is THAT one new too, or did I just miss it along the way? BTW, dont say U dont NEED "the payback" youngca, because as a collector, one NEEDS EVERYTHING the artist puts out IMO.

Hi Belle...whassup? Star Time came out several years ago.
its liner notes and the Book enclosed was written by ERIC
Leeds Brother ALAN,who worked for JB before he worked with
PRINCE!!! Man...both of those two guys are SImilar. JAMES
makes prince sound like a pussycat. he's a real Egomaniac.
and EVil! (read fred wesley's book)

but back to STAR Time...it is a Great primer for somebody
who never heard where JB came from. its begins in the 50's
and ends i think the 80's.

it got positive reviews when it came out.

you don't need it if you have everything ELSE.
which i do.

its for people who don't have any JB and got the Cash to
spend for the BOX-set.

some good JB colelctions are FOUNDation of Funk 1964-69
and DOIng it to death ...THere's several JBs double CD's
out. you probably have them,huh?

if you got JB and SLY then you know where Prn got his basic
funk style from.
