[zonwuka]

bootsy once was in a clip of this british guitarist doing this song and he was dressed as a butterfly i think an bernie worrel was in it too does anyone know what song it was?

[PinkieLewinskie]

IT mustve been some young jackazz that mentioned t-pain cuz if u ask me T-pain aint even sposed to be thought of when u talkin bout bootsy bootsie I Dont even know how to spell it LOL but the point is a lot of the music today comes from hot mothafuckas like this man right here NUFF SAID tpain wouldnt even have a job if it wasnt 4 this man ROGER and Bootsie

[DaMostEnigmatic]

This is some real funk. T-pain can take his fake ass back to wherever it is he came from. Dude will NEVER be Roger. Roger and that other fake shouldn't even mentioned in the same sentence.

Thanks for posting up a fresh song, this one is a favorite.

[misosoupification]

ahhh fuck bootsy WHY??

[missfinelady]

H i we all miss roger from his home town Hamilton and there will never be no one like roger.

[iop223]

rip roger and larry troutman

[champagne1978]

If you think auto tune and the voice box is the same thing u are a pole smoker! Pay attention SON! the old school Did it Once and Twice and Three times before you were just a twinkle in you daddy's nut sack, Respect DUE!

[djrec314]

this song is hard by bootsy collins

[CasualX3]

this is like 70's porno music with a christmas theme

[botribe]

I love it  this is the midwest baby

[7xrt463]

STILL GOIN STRONG!!!

[Apsu72]

This song ain't too bad...

[LRYDER09]

Does anyone know wot album the orginals on this verson sucks balls man:(

[daisygurl09]

datz wat im tryna find out cuz deze otha shyt iz dumb

[maradona87]

Stretchin out in Bootsy's Rubber Band.

[ceezybaby]

@LRYDER09 have u heard of....GOOGLE?

[drgonzo71]

Wow...at least he can still play bass. Otherwise, this is the gayest shit ever.

[SmackuSer]

the orginal has no sound anymore cause of that bullshit copyright shit.. and this is exactly the same but changed to christmas.. what a fuckn bs !

[BountyHunterRedRag]

they have a few of him singing live but the original is the best

[prjctcivilian]

is this serious? is this even bootsy? the original was so good

[irakebass]

o cara é muito bom

tanto cantando

tanto no baixo

o cara é show!

[harmonogram84]

fajowe:D!hehe

[iskaa23]

ahahah damn first version I heard was I'd rather fuck you:D

[markywash70]

A true ol skool funk classic, lol!

[JimmyJones]

This song is nowhere near new and dude is one of the pioneers of funk he doesn't need to prove himself 33 years later here. T-Pain can't even be compared to Roger. Auto-Tune and the voice box is a completely different thing.

[NapoleanXV]

you mean vocoder and talkbox

[chevysal70]

yo WTF is this mess?!  Damn, Boosty done fell off.

[gracoop6]

OH NO!!!!!!!! HE has a spot in Cincinnati call BOOTSY.......go to my fav; to some videos....It's @ 631 Walnut st....ph # 513-241-0707.........and it'sdo'n GOOD!!!! he had CD out in 2004 with Rapers/ P Funk ALL Stars....HE's STILL BANK'n......., just ask any raper's like Fat Joe ,Snoop Dog,Ect;;;;;;; You Must meet him,He Love Pep,s

[mightyblack1]

T Pain is no Roger and alot of us from the old school know it was only one Roger.

[Gdis40]

@mightyblack1 amen brother

[BobLover101]

Christmas+funk=Win

[pazzensutra]

Roger Troutman was a musical freaking genius. We love ya, Roger. RIP. And yeah, the Golden Boot Award still goes to Bootsy.

[RevoltRafamai]

Uh... It's Christmas baby! Pimp that shit Bootsy...

[breenyboy1234]

said ad rather fuck with you!!

eazy e

[cdude333]

Id rather fuck withhhhh you!

[Deetroiter]

A nice holiday jam for those who like it funky.

[LearnMoney]

this versions kind of strange tho

[7thOmnipotence]

tupac sampled this beat

"i'd rather be ya N.I.G.G.A."

[cbone1499]

so did big hawk "id rather bang screw" all three very good songs

[LearnMoney]

Too $hort sampled it too. "Gettin It". Both good songs

[LearnMoney]

and Keak Da Sneak "Smoke wit U" on the bay area playas album.

[genesisoutlaw]

what..the...fuck?

[FireitupBedford]

Problem? Bootsy and Zapp what a great combo...

[genesisoutlaw]

Yeah its weird

[FireitupBedford]

Whats weird about it? It's a Christmas song...

[doyletwodubleohsix]

ne1 herd th easy e version?

[Begformercy15]

yeah i liked it, sounded good

[dundun671]

this song played in "baby boy"

[specfeenz]

best song eva

[X2TR3M3]

love the jam

[AutomaticWeezyKeepOn]

did he?

[AutomaticWeezyKeepOn]

Roger Troutman was murdered before this video

[X2TR3M3]

Can you send it to me love the jam

its a x-mas flavor

[musicbrother1]

Greg Jackson's vocals are right on, I'd know that voice anywhere, YEA! Boosty let Terry Troutman do talkbox and some music production on this song, you know Zapp was going to call in his boy for vocals!

[musicbrother1]

Nice picture of ZAPP's Greg Jackson on the cover.

[KillaKlump]

Have a funky christmas everyone

r.i.p Roger Troutman

[bigchilling08]

awesome song to remember friends n love ones on x-mas,go boosty

[DavidAids]

This version sucks compared to the original....

[PriceUS4life]

the talkbox is soo smooth on this track...a good remake of his original 4 the holidays.

[1beautifulchick07]

that guy in tha vid is cute!! this song brings back memories of a great movie lol

[RatKing59]

LOL...a Christmas version? This is live, I'm not gonna lie. If it was a little slower, I'd probably have an xxx-mas to it.

[maLy012]

i preffer old version of this song

[ttusch]

Is that Marcus Miller at 4:10 ?!

[Deetroiter]

Amen neoconkiller, that's a nasty bass tone.

[BBinvestigations]

Bootsy is a good man I known him for two years now

[FireitupBedford]

Bootsy and Zapp did a great job on this...

[lynda000]

Biggy Smalls re made this song.... I think on Life after Death...

[kingcraig]

so did 2pac and eazy E but the sad thing is there dead now :(

[Vyo0]

Yep, Rather Be Ya Nigga and that got sampled a lot too.

part of the melody got used in Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me" which in turn got covered by the Sugababes.

Even as a frigging christmas song you'd want to have sex right on the dancefloor with his spacebass XD

It's really cool to see how his music was obviously very ahead of his time, and how his influence is obviously widespread! Bootsy, you the SHIT!! <3

[Vyo0]

i mean that bootsy's original song got sampled by pac, not the other round ofcourse that would be just stupid

[neoconkiller101]

Oh man long live Funk & Bootsy. People, support him by buying his cds so that real music like Funk can comeback in force to the mainstream so that we won't have to listen to the commercial shit that pollutes ours airwaves

[FireitupBedford]

Man this shit is slammin. I came across this video by mistake and I'm glad I did. For all the young people out there this is what REAL music sounds like.

[Yukonho72]

word up , man

[screwedup830]

U guys gotta listen to I'd Rather bang screw by Hata proof and then listen to this .. and u will hear that there both good ... ps Hata proof sampled off this.

[cherriesandicecream]

le ROI de la P-FUNK...true dat funk on BOOTSY...funk on :)

[egyptianpearl542]

do yall remember telephone bill by this man...that was the shit!! This is where Snoop got his sound from...F...U...N...K!!!!

BOOTSY COME BACK....PLEASE!!!

[FireitupBedford]

Bootsy is still out there doing his thang. A good friend of mine is in this video. (BIGG ROBB)and he hangs out with Bootsy all the time.

[lynda000]

Is he the one with the big glasses....

B....

[FireitupBedford]

He's at :16 , 2:57, 3:38, and 3:50. Also the guy on the portable keyboard is Dale Degroat he's married to Shirley Murdock. He's a down to earth guy to. The whole band is really.

[translationwiz]

video like in snoops or dre's than they would for a whole album back in them days...the young boys today are way smarter......sorry less musical skills than brown and bootsy,clinton,et al....but way more smarts...but thats life.

[translationwiz]

ok, listen up....this is old school: Bootsy was in James Browns band .. back in the days. they rode across america breaking off tunes like: hot pants,dady was a rollin stone, et al. making p nuts.

james brown was not only g.f.of soul he founded FUNK.

bootsy jumped ship and him and Collins were the p funk...then bootsy broke off on his own. the late 70s bootsy started getting recog. after he left p-funk..this was his 1st single on the radio. summer78.they get more $now for a shot on a

[FireitupBedford]

Not trying to be funny but how could this be his first single when this didn't come out until 2006? This is a Christmas song right here.

[LameBushido]

haha this sucks compared to all the other versions.

[aldeb456]

What year did this song came out. I think of this and I think of Snoop sitting on the couch smoking in the movie baby boy. thanks jbwitcomb

[EA2153]

yeh thats how i heard da song too.

[toribaltimore]

The same way that Snoop said that he wanted to be a "motha' fuckin' hustla'" when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, I said I wanted to be Bootsy Collins.

Now, this is how ignorant my little 1018 White Ave, Compton, CA ass was... I didn't even know that Bootsy Collins was this cat's name; rather, I thought it was his position in life. God Damn!

Dare to dream ♂

[QdoubleA]

man, u just brightened up my day, props

[minimoog78]

hey what a ribute to roger thanks bootsy and zapp.oh! and also jbwhitcomb for posting it

[hotboygeezie]

[BrianPsychicBabystar]

[Hansmiseur]

[zonblack]

I've finally viewed this Video after knowing that my Heifer (wife) danced on. To all my Homies from Cincy and Dayton, much Respect To You All in [Keeping The Funk Alive] with Roger's Spirit and Flava!! LONG LIVE THE FUNK in a OHIO STYLEEEE!

[bigrodneyakatrey]

As long as i breathe funk will never die long live george, zapp, roger bootsie n eveybody like this

[kingbassplayer]

with you on that

glad there are others .........play on forever

[rogger62]

I Love this song...R:I:P Roger i think also an your son

[rogger62]

I Love this song R:I:P Roger i think also an your son

[PhilosopherShale]

I got the CD this song was from last Christmas ... I loved it then and I love it now. The very fact that Bootsy remade 'I'd Rather Be With You' shows that he was going back to the funky basics. Though I love all his stuff, I'd say this Christmas album was his funkiest in years. But no matter how many decades pass, the bulk of Bootsy's music will remain awesome. Long live Bootsy and everyone who helped him make music! - Peace.

[SaDinski5]

meanest remix to a boosty song

[shatara1988]

I fuckin love this song!!!!

[nephilimz]

RIP

[jasarzulu]

REST IN PEACE ROGER! PEACE

[themisdogg]

fucking awesome song!

[SidewalksOfNY315]

Dope song and video! ZAPP & Bootsy together!Terry "ZAPP" Troutman kills it on the talkbox. He's has his own style on the talkbox and he's not trying to imitate his brother Roger and that was makes him cool! Bootsy kills it on the bass as usual!

[NoelLozano]

Great song

[Buutzilla]

No...Eazy E's sounds like Bootsy and Zapp's!! Eazy borrowed the music. Just like in "We Want Eazy" which was originally "We Want Bootsy"

[Rikiru]

sounds like EazyE's :(

[timj012]

dumbfuck! this original tune was made by bootsy in the late 70s eazy e used the tune in his i'd rather fuck you.

[Rikiru]

So, it sucked before EazyE?

[timj012]

uh no. i actually think that eazyEs version was worse.

[donjuanmartin]

I LOVE ROGER FRO TIGER

[qman2000]

i never thought i would see zapp and bootsy doing it together again.i love this vid.too bad roger was not there to enjoy it with them.peace

[panagiasoumela]

what is that kind of sheit? :( james brown times are over... money buys everything... even that kind of artistz...

[triopussit]

Bootsy beibe bootsy!

[AerosmithTour2005]

Haha I love Bootsy!
