  • Why doesn't this music exist anymore? Was he that good that there's no one that can emulate him? No disrespect to Fela, but this has a lift and didn't need any political fervor behind it.

    This song is so perfect, you just get lost in it. Its nowhere near his best, but it hits you nonetheless.

    Can someone become the next James Brown? Please, it would be much needed for music today.

  • this is hard. Pure class.

  • @EOPOleEarl The Funky Drummer alone is Hip Hop.

  • @EOPOleEarl

    I love when folks tell the truth on YB. I used to think everyone up in here was a tad ignorant. 'Til you spoke the truth.

  • Hip Hop was built on James Brown samples...

  • james brown was a bad muthafucker!!!!! after george cliton, isley brothers,boosty collins these are the most sampled artists

  • @islandslums not at all...that's "I Found Love On a Two Way Street" by the Moments i wanna say

  • Mr.JB was and always will be considered the best of the best. His penchant for perfection went far beyond his own showmanship and the musicianship he demanded of his bands. From a technical stand point (recording engineer) the way he chose to pan and mix his recordings are way ahead of his time. Listen to this song on a better set up than laptop speakers. It sounds live and in your face, but not loud and the instruments have their own space. Like controlled chaos. Just magic. RIP Mr.JB

  • JB IS THA MAN! R.I.P TO A TRUE LEGEND- THE HARDEST WORKIN' MAN IN SOULBUSINESS!!

  • @theouter9 HIS MUSIC WAS SOOOOO BAD..NOBODY WOULD DARE TO TRY..ITS ON FIRE ALL THE TIME ALL THE TIME.....HE WORKED THE BAND HARD...

  • @mariobaez I WILL TRY..LOL..I DONT THINK WE WILL SEE THE LIKES EVER AGAIN...TOOO MUCH...

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYEAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­A!!!!!!!!!
