Comments: Welcome to the land of funk, also known as the land of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and legendary bassist Bootsy Collins. Known worldwide for pioneering funk music with James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic, Collins proves his expertise in bringing the "funky fizzle" by enlisting the help of fellow P-Funkers George Clinton and Bernie Warrell on the record, along with an all-star lineup of musicians and cultural luminaries including rappers Snoop Dogg, Chuck D, and Ice Cube; actor Samuel L. Jackson (yes, Nick Fury); banjo phenom Bela Fleck; the Rev. Al Sharpton; scholar Dr. Cornell West; and guitarists Buckethead and Catfish Collins. The album serves as a tribute from the new generation of rap to the old generation of funk, in turn giving Tha Funk Capital of the World an all-around soul-deep feeling in its lyrics and rhythms.
Try out tracks 2, 9, 11 and 13 for some good ol' funky time music.
