[deadjoke2]

i bought the first album by SLY+tFS because one of the tracks was on one of the early TOP TEN SAMPLES.......it was ok. and i know FUNKTUALL loves them, but i still needed to hear something to sell it to me.......consider me SOLD!! awesome track! great funk!

[BattleCat3000]

0:35 I thought something had happened, but I see it was just the funk. How does it just reach out and demand you to pay close attention? Please bring it back!

[funkiernyou]

I gotta capitalize this (I ain't yellin') HELL TO THE MUTHA FOOKIN' YEAH! Can I get a witness one time? Mmmm hmmm........

[Phatcatsquirt]

It's such a shame that I've never heard this song before. Thanks for posting.

[cnbank]

Poundcake is thoughtful and Funktual is thankful, and so am I.

[Ipoop7colors]

Sly and the Family Stone gives me motivation when I'm at work.

[Carloscda40]

Feeling your channel! Question...I'm looking for this track, was a club banger mid -late 90's. It's a male vocal, Jamaican accent. Along the lines of Jackal the Bear - For Real. The lyrics are England girls something something girls...

The track uses the same base line and beat as this track by

Original Flavor - Here we go(pump it up).

[GunGemini]

YEAH BOY

[troysson81]

Love it.

[jayleeds2006]

I thought I knew a lot about music, but you're a real student....you really dig and study. You're introducing us to (or reminding us of) a lot of good music and the history behind it. Good work.

[johnnybvo]

@jayleeds2006 Indeed. If I ran a school of the arts, I would bring on funktuall as the dean of funk and soul.

[Jerzius]

This is great stuff man. Just great stuff.

[NW49ERFAITHFUL]

Funk.....I'm just speechless. Thank you for showing myself, as well as others, there is SO MUCH MORE to a band than their big hits.....

[pattyfromtoledo]

cool song ~ and cool is what your passion for sharing this knowledge and music with us is. Thank you : )

[Tyrant1x]

The title says eargaRsm, didnt notice at first

[funkydrummer14]

Larry Graham is the king of funk bass!!

[bluewine1]

@funkydrummer14

That is not Larry Graham it's Rusty Allen. It doesn't even sound like Larry?

[funkydrummer14]

@bluewine1 Aah.. It is Rusty Allen...my mistake! I wasn't aware of the line up changes for that particular album. Still a great bass line though....

[2menace]

where was that sampled? can't get that baseline out of my head!

[smokeverbs]

@2menace PM DAWN used this in "Comatose" off their first album. They sped it up a bit tho.

[2menace]

@smokeverbs ah thanks. I knew it from "5 Sterne Deluxe". was a german hip hop group from '98.

thanks for the response though :)

[poundcake67]

Funk I'm thankful for the knowledge you give. Thanks for the shout out.

[MTAlupyourass]

Grooooove.

[bastlake]

I can vouch for the swank-ness that is Tim "Poundcake" Tucker. Check out his store, his podcast, AND his funk-tified band, The Heavy Heads!

[funktuall]

@bastlake What he said.

[ModelloursWorkshop]

I love the sound of Sly Stone in the morning! It sounds like... FUNK!!!

[jenzeppelin]

very nice
