Like 9 cans of shaving power, that's funky. My grandfather used Magic shaving power in a red can and it was so funky my grandmother made him shave outside. That part made me think of him, cause that was really funky. R.I.P. John Ellis Sr. Thanks for the post.
OMG! I remember when my uncle first came home with this album and played this song and I was like wth!!! I must have been 5, my family thought that was so funny!!!!!
Great song, but I remember it being played on radio to the point where some DJs got tired of it, with one of them stopping the playing of it mid-way, saying "it's a stupid song!"
i want to know who the fucktard is that disliked this song. if this isnt some of the funkiest 2.5 minutes of your life, i want whatever youre on. this song was pretty crucial to alot of west coast gfunk rap and its classic. CLASSIC.
I hear so many people complain about the lack of instrumental skill. Thats not the problem to me. I feel that the technology thats available now is capable of making the same inspirational music. The problem is lack of creativity. Whether its a drum machine or kit, you have to put some thought and soul behind it and not just hit play.Just because a person uses collage instead of paint doesn't make him any less inspirational. It depends on the artist and his creative skill.
I remember that my uncles wouldn't let me stand around them when this song was playing. lol,..they thought it was too dirty,...too suggestive,... Wow,..compared today's music,..this is a nursery rhyme. The memories!
i told yall we will never see or hear creative soul music like this again cause these guy are true musicians, today these young wipper snatchers only buy samples of music and click it together ,that aint no damn music that pretending!!!!!!!
How many rap songs used a sample from this song? Kriss Kross? M.C. Breed? N.W.A.? Ice Cube? and obviosly an inspiration for Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album!
@StewieGriffin0096 My father put me down to the Ohio Players with Pain cause it sounds real jazzy, but when this come out and the tunes that followed this was more my speed thanks for uploading this one, and the one person who doesn't like this has a chemical imbalance going on.
it sounds like a mini moog. I have one from the 1970's. I don't lend it out, cause I'm afraid I won't get it back or something may happen to it. Youtube moog keyboards. See if you see a small black one. This synth was used mostly in funkadelic/ & parliament music.
It IS a Mini-Moog. Junie was one of the first real Mini-Moog innovators. You should pull up Junie's "The Cookies Will Get You" and check out the solo's he takes near the end of the song. Flat WICKED!!!
It was in here last year; but has been removed. I'll see what I can do about uploading it. It means a trip to the storage unit, ands may take some time, but is totally worth it. I'll let you know...
@rievans57 U KNOW what U talkin' bout! These were true musicians-u could go see 'em in concert and still have enough money for a nice meal....these kids today have missed out on REAL talent!
