[JayTronik]

@DrOCkABlEs Sounds like Busta Rhymes Serious. That was the first thing I thought.

[Bonitaymorena]

@JayTronik you mean Busta rhymes sound like him. Don't get it twisted rappers sample everything including afrobeat.

[ssbbw00]

u must be kidding me this was such a hot jam I am such a big music lover I dont forget anything going to high school dances high as hell(weed)

[port2344chester]

Hell lets meet @ mid town & get the rest of the crew time to get on that classic bus to the PARADISE GARAGE & party w Larry Levan & friends.... how can anyone sit down too this FUNKTASTIC TRAX....Everyone up & get ya funk on..its party time clap ya hands.

[retroolschool]

@port2344chester funny that Ijust read your comment and happened to be admirring this lside photo on auction showing an NYC Classic GM bus in rush hour 1972! And everybody is right about this track....YOU CANT STAND STILL!!

[port2344chester]

@retroolschool Classic man ENJOY!

[port2344chester]

How can 1 sit still with such a finger in the outlet tune... Whattt when this track came on in the N.Y.C. look out a hustle battle was on. Thats what was hot back in the day unless you went to the Loft... they had major loft battles..that was a popular dance.. The green light basement partys...hips shaking feet movin..everyone just having a fantastic time.... not many if any fights back then we all partied 4 the love of music & of course the dance floor was packed like sardines. FUNK4LIFE PEACE!

[MrCrippy81]

[Wellndowd]

[Liveness]

There's no way you can stand still to this!

[retroolschool]

@Liveness I concur!

[ssbbw00]

@Liveness im dancing in my chair as we speak

[cusa141]

@Liveness This is the S__T we used to change up some of the words, use your imagination. You cannot stand around and not dance to this, unless....

[jabbersnatch]

this is just the peak of afrobeat. you can see the links in the afro genre with latin, salsa and even merengue. interesting stuff. also, a funky groove.

[Infinity2121]

Manu IS King.

[Flashette92]

this song is in grand theft auto 4

[3102485]

i like playing this in gta 4 while im doing drive bys on people.

[gat333]

I found this cut by accident when playing

Soul Makoosa and I am like people of

today are still sleeping on FUNK like this.

A trip to me.

I don't think hardly anything today can touch this. The production and arrangment. Classic,Timeless. FUNK

[port2344chester]

@gat333 yes you are so correct man... i grew up to this tune & the basement partys in n.y. ahhh all i can say is you had to be their too really understand the funk during the 70's something that will never be duplicated... my uncle his friends & other family members would jam witht the green light basement partys. If i could go back i would take everyone with me just to exp. that time in life!!!! Peace

[gat333]

Real Afrikan FUNK

[bjlayla]

Manu was a genius back then!! So many have sampled his music. I love this cut...it puts me on a natural high!!!! Thx!

[port2344chester]

Man I had a fucked up day, I played this tune & forgot about everything. This jam put fire under my ass, smile on my face & recalling my childhood days in new york with my oldschool music head uncle. Love you man, I must pay my respect for schooling me & giving me the knowledge of old school jazz/funk like newbell.

[mookiezebra]

Sounds like the Blackbyrds might have used this jam to come up with "Rock Creek Park"???

[bjlayla]

Damn!  I'm done. I don't know what happened to my parents' vinyl on this, so UR awesome for posting it. TY! Manu...Manu....Manu...........­..

[danmcb]

i think I got it second hand for 40 bucks :-)

[Dennisdread]

Check out the percussion on this one y'all...

[riurijjir]

Manu para siempre. El mejor , el genio, el grandissimo. Nacido en Camerun.

[riurijjir]

Manu should sue Busta Rhymes for Plagiard. The Genus was born in Cameroon. Manu Dibango for ever.

[MAWA0302]

There is a reason why he is called "Grand Manu". None better!!!

[jmmatos23]

I love when I catch this song when playing GTA IV! it is perfect for some driving in the sunset close to the coast!

[drseatbelt]

IF 99 the Home of International Funk! I love this joint

[chepe371]

TUDU TUDU TUDU TUDU TUDU TUDU

DUUU DU DU DU DUUUU DU DU DUUU

who am i, im the dopest fuckin trumpet ever.

[prvtdances]

This  was our signature B Boy song. The crowd sang " MA Teenie. Dancin Doug!"

[Benfatbackbeat]

had this on vinyl and left it somewhere, thanks for posting

[Aniland]

I love this song. The very beginning reminds me of the Jesus Christ Superstar theme.

[malucobelezza]

Hard pulsation

[port2344chester]

What a classic jam, very underated. I must thank my uncle for playing this jam. Boy, brings back memories with his friends & me @ the tender age of 4 or 5 jammin in the basement,  playing live instruments with new bell in the back ground. Keep original soulful funk alive.

[MasimbaMusodza]

This is where Busta Rhymes got his beat for "Keepin' it tight".

[Fikonkross69]

gta 4 D: great song :)
