[ThePragmo]

[swagLilBallin11]

GTA Has Made Me Become A Whole Fan Of Ayers

[NateDFunkt]

WAAJEED did a remake to this groove, NASTEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Misspelled for emphasis lol

[pjo1974]

young-ish un lovin this. One of many hip hop heads who want to keep this sort of funk alive - dusted down, looped with a fat break and given new life

[GregRX7]

Great to hear some Roy Ayers Ubiquity!

I used to listen to his albums being aired from WHAM Rochester back in the day when I was a crazy, kooky college kid at BGSU in the 70's. Harry Abraham's aired "The Best of all possible Worlds" jazz show every midnight, playing the best of the best, like Roy.

Lyrical, smooth, funky!

Quiet genius, like Wayne Shorter.

Thanks for posting!

[StereoBoxify]

very nice !

[anitadavideduo]

Great!!!



[spatemag]

Yeah, this make u want to spit something

[kevinsoapboard]

j.cole, kanye, &big sean would eat this.

[LastOfSixMusic]

Unbelievably cool with originality and groove!

[roscoegino]

endless sampling possibilities but it stands on its own 2.

[Bizarronumber4]

I saw Roy tonight. He was still great at 70.

[PATRIENIX]

Thumbs up if ZiT! send you here xD

[mathew19721]

ZIT! sent me here!

[misspetedoherty]

Groovy funk man, thank you !

[KillaAvon]

[artistsixteen]

It's sad and ashamed how,this generation refers to woman as "hoes,when in it's day Roy Ayres music,gave so much pride and dignity to our race,his music uplifted us not put us down,like the youth of today.....

[apastrat]

@artistsixteen

Only in Yankiland.

[synapsefire123]

@artistsixteen Agree whole-heartedly.

[QuadropheniaBrosef]

@artistsixteen beautiful analogy :)

[kinstube]

[TheToeProject]

Thank you, Fusion FM. It's about time I had a musical alternative to Jamiroquai.

[andraken]

@TheToeProject anyway I think they should put a track from Jamiro in their next game

[betaultragroove]

this song is not in this LP, radiocdojaa can u tell me where is the name of the album which this song come from?

[JonnyLikesPie]

my 400 pound funky chicken

[wsdot6kid]

this is actually unreleased material.. so thank you rockstar!!

[optikCB]

has anyone actually HEARD this joint, let alone ROY AYERS, BEFORE whatever over hyped video game used it?!!???

[80y4n]

@optikCB Dont be mad at the kids, where else they gonna hear this? MTV ? They dont play music last 10 years on that channel, they dont. At least i am glad that quality music can reach wider audience and not get lost and forgotten, and if the only media through which they can deliver this kind of quality music is video games so be it.

[ThePunjabdholi123456]

@80y4n we need to bring this kind of music back

[nptrock]

Feel da Funk baby!

[FBHOME1]

[sydferret]

[Azoz268]

i like this song

[MrRizwanRana]

i think on kit is billy cobham or lenny white

[bitsiani20]

great drumming......who's the drummer?

[pacosaidso]

Heard these songs hundreds of times by now in GTA IV. Just don't know the track names or who it's by. Fusion is by far the best station in the game.

[JAMurida1]

This song is amazing to listen to when playing GTA4. Thanks for the upload!

[picpocarmy]

Roy Makes Me shine

[symbol93]

[bokma7]

I love this! and I never knew it was on a videogame :S

[devilplayer66]

i love this so that i sh*t

on my computer

[VoodooKush]

What album off his is this off of? i can't find it

[rougecat007]

great!

[urmumsbaps]

I love how many young'uns like this after they heard it on GTA4. If your dad played you this you'd hate it haha.

[DanielDumile]

I agree with you.

Although I find that only my bud smoking friends like this.

Fusion FM is the best station rockstar has ever gave life to.

Shame that TLAD didn't give it any new songs.

[uberxchuck944]

actually, my dad hates roy ayers, cause back in the 60s n 70s when he lived in bermuda as a jazz musician apparently they overplayed him and grover washington to the point of them being like the jonas brothers to a rational human today... but he still loves this groove. Who wouldn't

[halfrosamurai]

fuckin hilarious and soo true

[PrymeAte]

@urmumsbaps it doesn't matter, I'm 13 and I've been listening to Roy Ayers forever! It was awesome to hear Roy Ayers in a video game, I never thought it would happen.

[ledzeppelin711]

@PrymeAte It does matter weeny, no need to cmment when a point has been made, that being most people usually have access to shitty music on TV< the FUCKED UP RADIO, and THE GYM< shits fucked up nowadays, I mean seriously, Lady gaga? FAIL

[PrymeAte]

@ledzeppelin711 weeny? haha. I agree though.

[7925284]

@urmumsbaps Probably :)

[LinxAudio]

@urmumsbaps If it takes GTA4 to get the youngsta's listening to the funk, its all good man!

lol, just caught your username lol

[Imahdum666]

@LinxAudio Yea, i've always liked many music styles, but thanks to GTA IV i found Roy Ayers...

[LeFruFru]

@urmumsbaps MY DAD HAS NO TASTE IN MUSIC SIR.

[allroundbram]

@LeFruFru yeah, My dad hates it when i play music like this

[much2unkfay]

@allroundbram that's how it is with me and my pops too .. i think that now there is a whole generation so isolated from the mainstream that they end up picking up things completely unfamiliar to the generation that birthed them.

[Zleepy187]

@urmumsbaps nah ... i know loads of the music i hear from my parents .. but this wouldnt fit on my dad ^_^

[DJProbyn]

@urmumsbaps good to know that there are video games using good music and giving an insight to the majority of this world that there is a lot more than just lady gaga, lil wayne, and all that junk

[halomaster275]

@DJProbyn nah im alomost 15 and i like 30's , 40's, ans most of all 50's

[chucktheduck64]

@urmumsbaps I heard this song on GTA 4, I'm a young'un, and I like to listen to Jazz with my dad on the weekends

[Gmancrap]

Does it really matter? I knew about Roy long before that video game. But, I'm glad I can now talk about this kind of music with many more people then in the past.

[FluxSB]

@urmumsbaps if my dad played something like this i would be very amazed

[germturtle1]

@urmumsbaps I heard this on GTA and that makes no diference, video game, movie, radio or album, good music is good music to me.

[urmumsbaps]

@germturtle1

I agree completely, and that's how it should be but I speak from experience when I talk about kids hating their dad's music. When i was an ignorant little 13 year old anything my Dad liked i automatically disliked purely because parents weren't allowed to be 'cool', it's the same concept.

[binalhabibi]

@urmumsbaps u must be pretty young yourself if u play gta4

[urmumsbaps]

@binalhabibi

What because only children play video games?

[StrictlyBG]

@urmumsbaps TRUE so true!

[luukasa1]

@urmumsbaps I would not, i have loved this type of music for a loong time :)

[DatHowYzer]

@urmumsbaps i beg to differ, i grew up loving classic rock because of my dad, still do. but i got into this stuff from listening to hip hop and learning to make beats. still i have to admit, turning it to the jazz station in GTA was a habit, made it feel like a movie or something.

[Malukoe]

Gta 4

[RagingUtai]

this is my music when pikin up hoes in my stallion. lol

[39648217]

lol. GTA so realistic isn't it!

[superstrut75]

i punched myself in the face to celebrate how tough this beat is !!

[llaoll]

[superstrut75]

wait a minute here. you're just using Roy Ayers as an excuse to cover up your poor level of personal hygiene. how dare you.
