[decomposedasshole]

[ImaniHekima]

James was indeed the baddest mutha

[incaunparia]

this is hands down the most badass riff in history

[DoctorBlur]

This song goes so well in 'Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos'

Sums up that time in the US so well.

[Drezyful]

Ice-T "You Played Yourself"

[ThisIsVice]

@Drezyful + nas "get down" & lord finesse "bad mutha"

[hughdern]

In the movie Black Casar, Fred Williamson was shot in front of Tiffany & company on the corner of 5th Ave & East 57 Street. The music went with the scene.

[lordcrumb01]

[rusty2222]

[THEREALMAJESTYMELL]

Get----get down!!! (As heard on Nas's track)

[TheRealPDizzle]

[DTroyWingflip93]

Imma walk down the street like my ish don't stank one day with this song in my head

[TMC1982Part2]

Six people thus far haven't paid the cost to be the boss!

[crowncliff]

What man doesn't want this to be his theme music anytime he walks anywhere?!! If I'm wlaking down the aisle in the grocery store I want to hear this. I think this is my 20 mo. old son's theme, especially in our hous!! Bad muthaf**a music jack!!

[stillrising100]

Hip Hop owes this man everything its got

[Prettytoes29]

@stillrising100 EXACTLY. If James got paid for every rapper that sampled his music, he'd make Warren Buffet look like a homeless,broke man ! ...Real Talk.. Old school 4 life!!

[bolder2009]

The intro is legendary, but you just gotta love that bridge!

[crowncliff]

If you didn't walk tough before you heard this one, you can't help but walk tough when you do hear. I'm feelin' like a bad mutha right about now.

[Prettytoes29]

@crowncliff "Shut "yo" mouth"!!!! lol (having a "Shaft" moment).. It's all love :)

[kossuzuki]

[ElectricMusicMix]

one of the best intros in the history of sound

[TheBirdofTokyo]

Lock Stock baby

[ShOrtieMAC919]

its a damn shame when you type in the boss and the first thing that comes up is rick ross

[ravner1976]

If this is President Obama's presidential theme for 2012.... you've got my vote.

[Merkaba4203]

The groove in the intro of this track almost makes me cry its so awesome!

[GranataSRB]

Lock stock and two smoking barrels!!!!!!!!!!!

[RickRudesMustache]

I almost feel bad for a generation raised on cookie cutter music that's so overly produced and driven by nothing but the might dollar which they're proud to admit. The Godfather of Soul would be ashamed to see just how soulless modern popularized music has become... 

[Rossclairborne]

Black people can never be beat! We got SOUL!!!!

[dopertearz4life]

@Rossclairborne thats racist.

[TheRolliator]

@dopertearz4life but damn right

[MBInbox92]

[jdhed1]

@MBInbox92 indeed.

[djamorpheus]

[mesut47]

Nas.

[ZiggyStardustsGirl]

[cboneofenglewood]

@ZiggyStardustsGirl

[bangtokhammer]

@ZiggyStardustsGirl Not if you a little chalky ned from billericay it can't.

[BusMaster007X]

You gotta be OLD, a BAD MUTHA, and THE BOSS to be able to say:

"...TOLD YA SO."

HIT ME!

[chromecross79]

[jcps59]

3 people need to pay the cost.

[copsondonuts]

[BasementBeginnings]

@copsondonuts I'm a "young'in" myself, and I agree. Today's music is so synthetic and fake, I wouldn't trade old music for it ever in my life.

[jjrmet]

You know how bad peoples taste in music is when you type "the boss" into the youtube search bar and rick ross comes above James Brown

[yellopanda]

kendrick sampled this on "hol' up "

[ljxela]

bad mutha

[buscolaluna]

He was, simply, the finest.

honestly no disrespect to any post or upload on this site, but who cares what brought you to this exact link. i dont care. everytime i see top comments its never really a comment its more of a " hey whats the new youtube comment trend i can post to have random people vote mine up" well thats wack. give your two cents because you want to. dont do it for some imaginary friends thumbing up your post that will never bring you anywhere other than a few seconds of an un important smile. Peace

Rick Ross wasn't even born when this song came out, and HE claims he's the boss?

Fat chance!

[bcaesar80]

this my theme music!

[51Q841]

One of the best tracks I've ever heard!

[DanceCommandant]

@TheChamberofFarts It's not even the best movie scene that uses this song. That would be in Black Caesar, the film that it was written for.

[annefrankswoodndildo]

I bun my money like a mofucka

[milvujel]

Fantastic!

[gunnerfirestorm]

thanks to lock, stock, and two smoking barrels. always good to hear classics like this in movies.

[guytric007]

I'd like to know who arranged his music. He surely didn't arrange the brass section, did he?

[odyjamess]

i love this song so much

its not about lock stock

its about james brown's jesus complex

its about prince

its about the pressure of being the boss

its about crossing the tracks

its about being conflicted

its about wanting pussy and power and being saluted but still wanting to be being anonymous

[christofer6]

@TheChamberofFarts Absolutely! Big Chris walking the hall... : )
