Main Source - Fakin' The Funk

[NadiaSimone1]

dang this is 20 years and still relevant and ill

[kbw1970]

Drake and Lil Wayne both need to listen to this cause they been fakin the funk for years!

[yungadizzle]

when the videos werent in 1080p!

[Chatmire72]

Fu-Schnickens in this video!!

[MrKentuckyHeadhunter]

Somebody please tell me what the sample is.....ba ba ba ba bah.....ba ba ba ba bah...sick. This track is ridiculous.  I remember when hip hop policed itself and if you were a duck MC, you got called out. No biting allowed. WTF has happened to that spirit that permeated throughout the early days and so called "golden era" of hip hop? I'd love to see Drake or Lil Wayne put in a time machine to say....1991. OH it would get real ugly for them quick

[acknickulus]

@MrKentuckyHeadhunter The Main Ingredient -

Magic Shoes

Cuba Gooding's pop was in this group

[acknickulus]

@MrKentuckyHeadhunter If you copy and paste the following, it will take you the site of sample info : Main Source feat. Neek the Exotic's Fakin' the Funk sample of The Main Ingredient's Magic Shoes

[sideburn260]

[crrazyy]

goosebumps  at 0:16

[justymcfly]

everytime i listen to this....i notice that 90% of the industry now is Fakin' the Funk

[MrEnZo45]

@justymcfly PREACH!!!!

[johnduncan77]

@justymcfly

"Now I've never been one to knock the next man for getting his

You know what I'm saying? (Right right)

Now I've never been one to knock the next man for getting his

You know what I'm saying? (Right right)

And I do realize that now hip hop is a form of showbiz. (Uh huh)

But this has always been something with which you have to be true

So in the year on 1992...(this is how we do!)"

How prophetic that verse is. Somewhere Large Pro is saying "I told you & I warned you" as others.

[lunatic223]

@justymcfly preach my dude its the truth! this is real hip hop

[D1rtyDuck]

@justymcfly its worse,

there even aint no Funk 2 be Fakin..

[Tunnellad]

@justymcfly , yes indeed ...

[burnzdog]

100% Bad ASS.

[CJX88i]

Damn, I still say 'Fakin the Funk' to this day!  Funny how current artists like Drake, Kanye, Wayne wouldn't square up with 90's rappers - flipping auto tune sing song with lyrics - stick to rhyming gentlemen!

[RevolvoDoOr]

I Was Born in 92!

[lazero123]

[thewrightlilbro]

ya'll remember back in like 1988 i believe the powers that be had congressional hearings on whether or to ban rap / hip hop music and take away our free speech .but now they just give these new school artist the speech they can freely speak ! but God is good . we now have Eminem who further illustrates that your plan backed fired and your little white babies still love the black man and woman .we love ya'll too.

[mobb70]

@thewrightlilbro Someone always has to bring race into the comments section. Quit being a cornball and just chill man.

[mobb70]

[mambaregime]

How the fuck is Large Professor not in the Hip Hop Hall of Fame???? VH1, BET, Vibe??? Somebody wake the fuck up!

[wolfman42793]

@mambaregime lol VH1 and BET. This would never be on those shows

[ozees1]

@mambaregime ..........IF YOU AINT WORSHIPPING BAPHOMET ..RAIN MAN OR ONE THEM SATANIC OCCULT JUMPOFFS YOU AINT AMKIN IT .

[chance3473]

@ozees1 TRUE STATEMENT.................!

[str8outtatexas1]

@mambaregime -he's not in the hip-hop hall of fame because he raps about positive shit that has substance,creativity,soul, & funk.The industry is now is obsessed with promoting the hot garbage like waka flocka,gucci mane,lil b.,oj da juiceman,lil wayne,kanye west,plies,drake and all these pre-school rapping,plastic beat producing,a,b,c,1,2,3, cookie cutter clowns who don't posses 1 fucking once of lyrical skills or hip-hop pedigree.the same applies in today's R&B.watered down kindergarden shit.

[chance3473]

@str8outtatexas1 STRAIGHT SPIT........

[mambaregime]

@str8outtatexas1 Not interested in a war but ill say this. I like Drake, Wayne, Ye (sometimes), Big Sean and more than a few Waka, Gucci and French Montana songs(and I was born in 78). Hip Hop elitists poison the game just as much as uninspired rappers/producers by claiming sides. True, no album past the 90's would make my top 10, but if I stayed stuck in the past i'd never have heard Camron, Blu,Crooked I, Budden, Meek Mill..etc...

[Billstiller23]

@str8outtatexas1 mother fucker u speak the truth

[classy1973]

@mambaregime YEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!! I don't get it either!!! Large Professor is sickening..... HIP HOP HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN BURIED!! RIP

[TheCardsfan2]

@mambaregime Don't count on VH1!!! HAve you seen their Lists of the "Greatest Hip Hop Songs" and "Greatest Rappers".....IT's embarrassing to hip hop if you ever see these lists. Put it this way Pete Rock and CL Smooths "T.R.O.Y" was 90th!!!! With songs from PM Dawn(WTF) and Mase ahead of it...

[basedoutboy]

all yall hatin are fakin the funk....everyone had they time. listen to whatevers good

[cutfromadifferentclo]

too hard

[DutchKalhoun]

One love to Organized Confusion, Main Source, & Pharoahe Monch! TRUE MC LEGENDS!!!!!!!!

[MrEnZo45]

so relevant to today.....SOMEBODY NEEDS TO REMAKE THIS SONG!!!!

[LasRosasDeDallas]

@MrEnZo45 Curren$y already did. Curren$y-Still Faking

[MrEnZo45]

@LasRosasDeDallas that ish was WACK on all levels.......

[suledrake]

@MrEnZo45 Nooooo! There are certain songs and artists that should never be remade...nobody can do it them so just leave it alone

[MrEnZo45]

@suledrake true....i feel you on that.....

[sav702]

What about rappers like outkast and goodie mob thay from atl. They represent the south and they didn't fake the funk.

[dukenthaylor]

[o0Naydo0o]

[veraluciaxxx]

I MISS THE 90S,I STILL HAVE THIS SONG ON TAPE THAT I RECORDED FROM THE RADIO IN 1992.

[THUNDEROUS122]

In 1992 they must of seen the future cause Fake commercial rappers have been shoved down people's throats. Bring me back to a time where hip hop and rap was pure

[streetrockcity]

its true, white men cant jump. im white and i worked with this black guy from Nigeria and i can still remember the first time that i got a good look at his shoes

[shonha1]

"And that's what we call FRAUD, u can't keep the streetz wit a look, I sold out award, word, nd everywhere has streetz that's not tryin to hear the SAME WAK RHYMES OVER THE SAME STINK BEATS, cuz times are real nd I can't feel when it comes down on the reel 2reel"

[baazbana]

@shonha1---LOL I was laughing at that same verse yo and how crazy is it that that verse is two decades ahead of its time. You can you use that verse now and it would apply. "With those weak style of Raps its time to Go!!!!! LOL

[shonha1]

@bazbina For Real homie, this joint is as prophetic as it gets, another joint that tried to warned us of the future we're now living in was The Cross Over from EPMD

[MoxicoMC]

Large Professor one of the best producers in this game!!!!

[TheMunchMaster]

damn this is the first time i've ever heard this and its an instant classic, favorite this 5* good shit. dont fake the funk

[civicdoc]

@TheMunchMaster Sorry my friend but this shit has been a classic for more than 15 years!

[TheMunchMaster]

@civicdoc i meant to me, i like it alot now so its a classic to me

[civicdoc]

@TheMunchMaster Sorry to hear this is the first time you've heard this. you must have not had anyone expose you to true hip hop. At least you know good music when you hear it. Educate yourself and look up all the old school shit. you'll be glad you did.

[civicdoc]

@civicdoc Sorry to hear that this is the first time you've heard this. Your access to old school hip hop must be extremely limited but at least you know good music when you hear it. Educate yourself young blood and look up all the old school shit. You'll be glad you did and you'll see that today's rap is pure trash!

[MrMacv1983]

@TheMunchMaster Damn bro you must have been freeze dried or doin' hard time! Or you're just a youngin" Or maybe a bubble gum chewin rap listini' cat this is the really real 4 real 4 real!

[lordcyfah1]

When I'm drunk chillin with a fat biiiyaaatch i'm fakin the fuck

[phreaktor1]

12 people are fakin the funk.

[80sB0Y]

I've heard most of best Rap from golden era (early-mid 90's NYC) and if I had to choose only 1 Rap Track as best I ever heard of all time (considering lyrics, beat, delivery, originality as true, raw and unfiltered sound of NYC streets) THIS would be my choice. It simply doesn't get any better than this... It is ironic that best rap track ever is ABOUT rappers who belong to "sell out" category... and yes, about all those who are fakin' the funk! :) Brilliant and timeless stuff!

[Stevenelow]
