The KayGees - Master Plan/Who's The Man (1974)

[ashahmur]

Also sampled by DJ Premier in "Red Alert Chant". One of my fav displays of Premo's skills.

[ReminisceTheSankofa]

Big Daddy Kane - Mister Cee's Master Plan (1988)

House of Pain - Who's The Man? (1993)

[gahan101]

Does anybody remember Dr. Dre sampled it for "A nigga witta gun"?

[npsmooth]

This was off of a classic album. You could just put the needle on and let it play. This is one of my all-time favorite albums, and also one of the most underrated albums. It was positive and intelligent music. To kaygees7, you guys really put it down. I am glad to know that you have taken your voice to a higher calling. I wish more artist would respond to posts, because believe it or not, people would like to hear from them.

"WATCH OUT" INTRO..LORD FINESSE - THE RETURN OF THE FUNKY MAN

[kaygees7]

Im still alive and kicking thanks be to God. I can only remember how we would make folks move by the music but more so it was about the message that we delivered. And It is true this song is about our situation and our struggle as a people and nation of all races. We need God in our lives to sustain us and guide us. keep LOVE alive, keep the faith and TEACH OUR YOUNG BROTHERS AND SISTERS THE TRUTH

[OneMarianneStephen]

I AM this tune. That's how much I love it.

[Crunkadelic]

This is my theme song

[RAV52]

This track right here was the joint my mom played around the house when I was just a toddler!

[roscoegino]

Hip hop's baby food.

Thumps Up If Big Daddy Kane Sent You Here

"Who's the man with the master plan?" "Dj Mister Cee On The mix"

[kaygees7]

Thank you all for your comments, I particularly like the one by "freein2339" I am a preacher now... We always believe that our music had to have a message, I guess that is why we didn't get as big as the other groups, but we were more concerned about educating our audience than keeping them dancing.

[BreezesofConey]

When musicians had a point to their music AND talent. Not just 100% image with no substance behind it.

[funkality]

And still Bumpin!!

[MrCryptica82]

people would actually stop and stare at me in amazement when I would stop and have this song blasting in my car, by the way it was a 1973 Ford Mach I Mustang convertible, I could actually see people trying to dance to it, bring back the 70's again I implore you oh mighty god, for we are deserving of this beautiful music and the cars yet once more!!!

[unavailheart]

Shut the hell up everybody and enjoy the music.

[dub2]

yo buss it. i sample anything. i steal anything. i have no musical ability. i let the machines do all my work for me. why play an instrument when you've already played it for me? Thanks for putting in all that work. I love your music.

[allenlevelle]

@dub2 At least you're honest. But it's good to learn an instrument...... then you'll appreciate creating your own stuff. Fuck paying someone else when you can make the money yourself and it all belongs to you!

[oliverecords]

@allenlevelle Right on. And what about the pleasure of PLAYING the music? It's even better!

[freein2339]

@allenlevelle Preach that shit....

[Calipeixegato]

OK, has nobody else noticed that Big Daddy Kane sampled this? "Who is the man with the master plan? DJ Mr. C!"

[Nebraskablack]

i heard the inspiration for this: Prince Geno & The Tailormades "Master Plan"

[cjjaxxon]

Hey! I heard a shorter version of this song! I was cheated! Thanks for posting this one man! I get to hear a longer version!

[yousarocker]

Don't forget about Dre, that nigga mic checked this shiyat on the 1992 Chronic album.

[PeekaBooo08]

Who's da man wit a master plan?

A nigga with a muthafuckin gun!"

Don't forget also, House of Pain sampled this for their joint "Who's the Man?" from the movie of the same name back in '92.

[DeezFunkyNutz]

[PATYPUS3]

I once skateboarded upside my mom's head to this song. She gave me a wedgie and clobbered me with a wooden spoon for punishment.  I was 32 years old.

[searchingforusername]

Wow, but you survived!

[PATYPUS3]

Yes, I survived but I was grounded for a week. Also, If you a searching for a user name then you should try "Beefaroniisdelicious". I wish it were my user name.

[sw052491]

YZ's thinking up a master plan

[Arctichayze18]

sample heaven

[TotalRecarl3000]

word

[StevieDebe]

This is still a great album. Produced by Ronald Bell from Kool and the Gang for Gang Records. Ronald plays some awesome sax solos on it as well. From a time when music was real.

[rayjr62]

Yeah, That makes sense. It has that "Cool And The Gang (pre-Emir Deodato produced) feel" to it- I wonder if this LP was engineered and mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

[StevieDebe]

Bob Clearmountain did engineer this album along with Harvey Goldberg and Jeff Lesser. Bob is lengendary. This album is a little known classic.

[rayjr62]

Thanks for the clarification- Clearmountain engineered many of Kool and the Gangs LPs. That's why I mentioned it.

[leecool1956]

Some of you youngheads need to listen to the words very carefully, This cut came out during times very similar to now., recession, unemployment high as hell and hardly any gasoline. They were giving messages to us about being self sufficient people. I dug it then as I do now. With all the shit going on now. You would see this applies to todays events as they did in 1974 when this was new.

[jangofettish1]

Word ! I was a kid in school when this was released and couldn't truly relate because I didn't have to be out working and trying to make a living. Now I feel the truth of these words personally.

[mayena]

House Of Pain sample this for their single Who's The Man (1992).

[Spliveydown]

The Man with the Master Plan is Barack Obama!

[makimboscrayon]

no place in funk for politics...

[divaRights]

whatchumean??!!! Funk was our rallying cry!! :P

[philburrell]

Good post. Too much like K&TGs "Jungle Boogie". Did't they do a cut in the '60 called "the horse"?

[MUZIKNFILMZ]

"The Horse" was by a group called

Cliff & Noble in 1968.

[philburrell]

Cliff & Noble was from what city? Is the cut you're speaking of all instrumental?

[MUZIKNFILMZ]

I don't know what city he's from, but yes, the song was an instrumental.

[AJ5166]

Cliff Noble was from Philadelphia. He basically did his thing right before Gamble and Huff and Thom Bell took the Philly sound to another level.

[esgotos]

nice track
