Anyone here like the funk and soul music. THat is New Birth, The Isley Brothers, Parliament/Funkadelic, Curtis Mayfield, Ohio Players, Sly and the Family Stone, Isaac Hayes, Jimmy Castor Bunch, Keziah Jones, Jamiroquai, Me'shell Ndegeocello, Fishbone, and a whole lot more. Anyone here like those drums, those horns, the syncopation, the rhythmic guitars. What I like about this genre is that it's still evident today within hiphop samples. If you listen to hiphop songs, and follow their samples, you'll see alot of it is from the 70s. Everyone knows and I know, but that surprises me. For a while I've been listening to hiphop thinking that the producer did everything. Now I realize, that they copy and paste, and mix it up.
Like all of those bands, and Chuck Brown,( and lets not forget Baby Huey and the Baby Sitters), and funky jazz by Ramsey Lewis, Reuben Wilson, Willie Bobo, Cal Tjader,and Grant Green.
Just about every rap hit of the last decades is built upon a chasse of a seventies funk, disco, or jazz song.Will Smith's MIB song is really Patricia Rushen's "Forget Me Nots", Flo Rida's "Turn Me Round" is really Dead or Alive's seventies disco song "You Spin Me Around like a record". And the list goes on.
