  • @lytsac1 I was almost in the same state you were in... but I didn't grow up to this song, though I had put it on tape long ago, (maybe 14) , thanks to the radio. The tune was one of the many "unknown obscure funk"-labeled tunes that time had concealed in a corner of my room. I like when I find these gems by pure chance, so I can put some faces on them.

  • aint no greens in harlem, theres only HAZE nikkkkkkka

    thas my manzz on skype ! sellin dat purrppy dogggies

  • This is REAL FUNKY!

  • They look like the gang, The Boppers, from the movie and video game "The Warriors"......I hear they're a real heavy set

  • @EitherEndofAugust. well greens is in reference to marijuana and chicken is in reference to hookers. aint greens in harlem is basically saying the guy cant cut a deal. when he cant get his thc fix he thinks he'll pass the time with the trim of a nice young broad down on the avenue but when he actually gets there, there all busy or holidaying in the bahamas. hope that explains it

  • @Grazmataz37 Huh?

  • "WHAT!? No chicken in Harlem?!" *Cries* I love the GASSSP after that cry. :D

    Can't stop loving this song, man! I can't listen to this and just sit still. I gotta move! Believe me, you don't wanna see that! :p

  • perhaps my all time favourite funk track this. not only is the energy so funky, but i just love the way they have hidden messages for marajunna and prostitutes in this song. absolute classic

  • (lol) Sound like something comedian J. Anthony Brown would sing.

    Nice groove.
