@guitarmimi69. Fast funk music playing has a lot going on, so beginners need to know the details. Edom7 and E9 and E13 chords are enough to learn, but he explains the 16th beat with words that we beginners need to understand. Don't look down on anyone for wanting to explain, and don't look down o...

This song could easily drop into a DJ set of Michael Jackson hits, and still surprise people.

The style of pop locking is an older hiphop style, before krumping/wacking or whatever the newer kids come up with. The newer generation copies the older dance moves and gives it a different name to a different music. Wiggles is still good at showing new kids new moves to copy, just as the origin...

Even though her lifestyle was a rotten bad example of drugs and drinking to young people, this song tells one of her life heartbreaks that probably took her to that direction. I'm thinking of the British tabloid picture of her smoking a crackpipe with her wedding picture on the wall in the backgr...

This mix belongs in a music history class, to explain the brief years in the 1980's when the parent funk music started to use synths, so that the siblings rap and house music were like twins. Nobody who grew up after the 1980's would really understand that house music and rap came from the same p...

Tap dance is timeless, whether the dancer dances to 1920's jazz music at a show, or to underground house music at a club.

This was the first reggae song I heard, from the college radio host David Kingston who did a Friday night reggae show in Toronto in the 1980's. He had the nice music of that era to play on his radio show. He couldn't do that today though. Today's reggae and dancehall tracks are lack musicianship.

After hearing this track played just the evening on WHCR 90.3FM Sugatreats Show from Harlem NYC on the internet, this cover version is impressive and it gives a sample moment too. Smooth and hypnotic like underground house music, and it gives respect to the R'n'B track it came from.

Oops, that commercialized rapper TI King has used this melody, but he doesn't count.

This song is familiar to different generations. Through sampling, it is now familiar to underground house music fans from track 'In the bottle '91' by Insomnia, and this song is familiar to underground rap djs from track 'In a bottle' by Besque. This song is also familiar to 1970's R'n'b/disco fa...

To the swearing and rude youtube generation:

There is also a decent house remix of this track 'In the Bottle '91' by Insomnia

Good memories of this track in 1991 at an underground house event, where the DJ played house remix of this track 'In the Bottle '91' by Insomnia

This underground house remix is based on a 1974 year track 'In the bottle' by Brother to Brother, which itself covered Gil Scott Heron's original track.

After hearing this in a mix on Wefunk internet radio station from Montreal, this remix with the ambient smooth beat and this video do justice to this track.

She's a snake too...Your man gave him your glock...When we start the revolution all they'll probably do is squeal...I hate it when your mom...

Underground hiphop tracks like this sound good because of the background sample of 1980's disco funk that had a strong bass pattern, and the only other music that kept dance-oriented bass and funky chorus and sampling was underground house (Miguel Migs) and west coast g-funk. Even now when I hear...

Rapper Guru track 'illest man' also used this funk track as sample

Sample from Joyce Sims 80's funk track Come into My Life.

Too funny, this. Cypress Hill of 'Latin Lingo' versus Sanford's fear of new neighbor Julio's cultivation of 'Latin lettuce' in the backyard...

Aha, original sample from artist Levy O'donel We've Only Just Begun used before in Pete Rock CL Smooth Mecca and the Soul Brother.

Also sampled in smooth hiphop Think Twice track with Coates called Supernova.

This sounds like group War track Deliver the Word speeded up.

echoes into Brother Ali 'Freedom aint free' and into Lone Catalyst/Asheru 'Life' through Nina Simone too, but this reggae version has a funky sound

reggae track Baltimore by group The Tamlins can get mixed into this

If young guys like to get drunk and smoke pot at a zoo on Christmas day instead of being around their families, like these guys who got attacked by the tiger and then got upset at the police, no wonder prop 19 didn't pass, since the young guys set an image of brown skin stoners in the minds of co...

Sample from 1979 disco track 'He's the greatest dancer' of group Sister Sledge. This Will Smith video had King Tutting dance moves from the funk music that followed the disco era, and the sisters of Sledge had disco moves. So this is how people dance jiggy, with all those older musics...

@infobombing1

This is a refreshing hiphop take on a classic dancehall track. This brings me back to a time when Canadian dancehalls had party vibes without violence, with a memory of Barrington Levy doing the singjay, "I'm broad, broader than Broadway."

"so fresh and so clean" sounds like a chorus from Outkast track.

underground hiphop fans also hear this song sampled in Keith Murray's track Life On the Street. The hiphop version of this track gives a different picture than in the original; "Until you play your life away..."

this was sampled in No Description Given (Game & the Player) track What's Reality. dramatic background music for the rapping.

original sample by group The Commodores, track Cebu.
