[CStyleRecords]

sik

[mero696969696969]

can enybody tell me what keyboard is he using in 1:52 but i know its not a dx100

[kwd007]

Roger was using a dx100, and I believe that was a kurzweil that zapp was using.

[wccrko]

almost positive Terry Zapp Troutman was using a minimoog...

[TheFUNKSTARR]

Dazz band Gap band Zapp and Roger Cameo Rick James Ohio players Kool and the gang Funkadelic Earth wind and fire Bootsy collins Copy and paste this shitto keepfunk alive!!!!

[startlingbird]

There were so many great bands between 1975 - 1985 it was unreal. Barkays, BT Express, Uncle Louie, Jimmy Bohorne (did he use KC's band?), Brick, Confunkshun, Sun, Chuck Brown, Five Special, Bill Summers and Summers heat, Pleasure, Skyy, Brass Construction, Captian Sky. Even though there were similar sounds, each had a unique and distinct style. You should here this song fogotten by Shadow (need love) which came out of the Ohio players.

[BoneGfunk]

damn i luv that bass

[4ohfreight]

thats whats up!!!

[jiveazzturkee]

thats a shame people dobnt apprertiate therwe brotha cause they the only one sometimes

[Kapp2007]

Roger was killed by his brother Larry in a tragic fued over money & business that took place between them at that time ('99)- I saw Zapp in concert a number of months after Roger's death at a club near Oakland called "Kimball's East", they did a show called "Zapp-A tribute to Roger"...the all time dopest and funkiest concert I have ever been to

[madhatter5353]

Roger Troutman (Nov 29 1951 Apr 25 1999) shot in torso several times and killed by his Brother Larry who turned and shot himself. One of the best, ever.. His nephew Clet Troutman sang "Amazing Grace" through a talkbox at his funeral.

[13califas213]

FUCK U YAH

[308beatZ]

look at that nigga go crazy on the keyboard

[cjrlee]

watch yo mouth idiot

[308beatZ]

watch your mouth bitch

[308beatZ]

internet Dick

[hrfv]

get some respect my african brotha

[308beatZ]

1st of all im not your african brotha haha

[Camblae64]

Spreading the Love is what it's all about.

For us music lovers and musicians.

[tropicanna1]

Roger troutman 1951-1999

The greatest funk musician ever.He was murdered by his brother Larry troutman on 25th April 1999.Larry then shot himself in the head.Rip Legend.

[Mahogany1974]

I know he was shot,but I didn't know his brother killed him right on my birthday too.What was the reason?

[seandog1234]

Its funny that he gestures around the actual microphone, when in reality the mic has nothing to do with the talk box.

[wilko10]

Actually, the mic has a lot to with the talk box.

A speaker drives sound into his mouth through that tube. In order for us to hear it, he has to sing into the mic.

[seandog1234]

No, he isn't singing at all, hes just moving his mouth to shape the keyboard sound into words.

[wilko10]

right. If he makes too much breathing/singing noises it could sound crappy.

[Parlayerrday187]

the talkbox box uses air , it takes shape of his mouth and the air blows into the mic

[flipdark]

just because he's not actually singing doesn't mean the mic doesn't serve a purpose. don't you know how a talk box works? the sound from the keyboard is coming out of his mouth. without a mic no one would be able to hear it over the rest of the band.

[mrcynical]

It's great to be able to post wildly inaccurate anonymous statements!

It would be better if you just didn't do it anymore.

[gdog415]

this is DOPE

[OverWilliam]

It's like he's not even playing a keyboard, you forget that that isn't his own voice-- or rather, his second voice. ;)

[monos70]

"are you guys like Pedro's cousins with the sweet hookups?"

"SIMON!"

[paolotherapper]

REAL MUSIC!!!!

[audiogazm]

THE TUBE DOES THE VOICE AFFECTS.... TYPE IN TALKBOX.... thats what the tubes for

[obed1g]

whats that tube for that goes in his mouth?

[kaziah3]

the tube helps him do the voice effects.

[bjornteeth]

the tube is a prolonged speaker.

[quimixipilli]

hell yea, cant no artist touch him

[pazzensutra]

I find myself spellbound when Roger and Zapp is playing. Beautiful. We love you Roger. RIP. WE NEED YOU, MAN!!! Today's music just don't make it.

[kickinoverya]

For sure.The good days of music are long gone,forever.Since about 2000,music just isn't what it was.

[listenheredc]

you're not looking hard enough...ignore the radio, and search for other sources. you'll find there's more music out there than you can imagine...

[kickinoverya]

You mean try and find even more music from years gone by,that I haven't heard yet?Good advice,but it's still sad to know music will never be what it was ever again.

[Choctawu]

That was slamming!!!

[luislatinonc]

now what a minuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[YoungLoc32]

IF YOU INTO Zapp And Rodger

you'll love westcoast G funk old school music

[donniedeporte]

Rest IN Peace Roger and Zapp Troutman...thanks for psting this...and man I miss them! The music of my youth. Still sampled by alot of these non talented "musicians" today.

[BigCProductions99]

...Zapp's Alive, Larry Shot Roger Then Killed Himself.

[ronnismiles]

who was Larry?  (Sorry, don't know)

[cheboe]

Larry was Roger's brother.

[ddsharper]

Amen donnie

[lbcfunkaholic]

The tube is so he can smoke some good cali indo while he's jamming- it makes him dance better...

[keishamac1]

lmao

[8thjmoneybagz]

why does he have a tube in his mouth

[DaCellaFella]

I hope you're not serious..

[8thjmoneybagz]

wat?

[Mormur1234]

Talkbox I think its called, its what makes his voice sound the way it does.

[iJuan3]

[xomgitsnaomi]

The one in GTA: SA is "West Coast Poplock" by Ronnie Hudson.

[ghtslaugh]

The man, the band just so ruff,so tough and so cool.

[Aud1Sh0]

wats the tubes in their mouth for?

[normalkills]

its a talk box like peter frampton, slash, and many others use on guitar, but with a synth running through it insted of guitar. it feeds the sound to your mouth so you can make it talk. `( ;]) check out chromeo if you dig!

[R0bss92]

Thats for that funky sound they make when they sing.

[kevdawgs88]

voicebox, like what peter frampton uses.

[EchoCannon89]

that's how they breathe

[kevdawgs88]

[MadonnaManson2007]

lol, you must NOT have ANY soul or FUNK roots do you? Roger and Zapp are legends! if it was not for these dudes the Music today would have NOTHING to steal from, bevause the music of 2008 SUCKS.

[kevdawgs88]
