James Tresevant I feel you. But, let's not forget those musicians he had. They deserve more credit than they get. A lot of this stuff are jams they were doing to kill time and James walked in rapped over it. It came together beautifully!! No shade at James. Please don't get that twisted. Let's just not forget all those talented brothers, and sisters he was smart enough to surround himself with.
@@301cameosis That era was from the mid 1980's when this track was released on an E.P. along with the previously unreleased cut 'She's the One' and the long version of the original Funky Drummer. I have a copy of this very record. By that time, hip hop was already an established genre, having been created by Kool Herc and others in the 70's. By the time sampling really took off (when samplers finally became affordable), hip hop using cutting between decks and electronic drum machines like the Roland 606 and 808 had been around for a few years - DJ's in those early days, weren't paying a lot of attention to Brown's back catalogue. You said in your original post that "there is no hip hop without James." This is plainly factually incorrect and yet, just because I dared to challenge your opinion on it, you now claim I am 'slow.' Let me give you a couple more facts, as I prefer to deal in those - I am 57 years old, I have been listening to and buying, hip hop since 1984. I like to think I know what I am talking about. Second fact, I went to Cambridge University in the UK. If that makes me slow, you must be a genius on the level of a Stephen Hawking, or Albert Einstein. Well it's that or you are just a sad, ignorant man who likes to insult anyone on CZcams who dares to disagree with your point of view.
@@Wally-H I'm 64..started being a mobile in 1980..I don't care about your degree from cambridge...my degree is from 2 Black Technic 1200 & my Bose 901s...& thousands of hours of research & spinning
@@301cameosis I mentioned the degree because you called me 'slow.' It's okay to disagree with someone's opinion, but to suggest they are stupid just because they don't agree with you is ridiculous. I don't care what you think your credentials are as a DJ either, the facts of the history of hip hop are well documented, presumably you know them therefore you realise hip hop does not exist because of James Brown.
Jay b talked about a life that he lived and he had some of the best musicians playing with him during his time! People like Bootsy Collins, Fred Westly and the horrny horny horrns. The main is truly a legend.
This sh*t still sounds so good & so amazing even in 2015; Can you imagine how revolutionary & mind-blowing this was for '73? OMG JB was a bad bad man.....
Mannnnnnnnnnnn, if you just listen to this track ride out...........Its phenomenal!!!!!!!! Baseline is memorizing They just cant/wont do it like this anymore.
James Brown: “Need a pocketful full of jobs, one to eat with, one to sleep with and one to watch me sleep.” Band member: “And one to pay the taxes.” James Brown: “Huh?...Mannnnnnn” Best lyrics ever IMHO
I started getting into Funk like 2 years ago. I'm a Metalhead through and through but this stuff is great. this is probably the greatest Funk instrumental of all time
The overlap of metal heads and funk is quite significant and for good reason! A lot of people don't know this but oughta know: rock and roll would not exist in its current form without the massive influence of funk, R&B, blues and wider African-American music. Just go ahead and listen to some really early rock and roll and you'll hear the influence. Good stuff, man.
DagadaggadagaDOO! Hell yeah, with the sample for "they want EFX"... HE GOT A REAL HUMAN to play that riff machine-perfect for like 10 solid minutes! And he would probably punish the guy if he messed it up! SO worth it!!
Listen to the skull snaps or or millions of other funk records put of America, this is superclass! Superb funk! But like many old working class Englishmen we have a love for 60s 70s soul an funnk. I don't know why but because we were always treated like shit for hundreds of years and check it out! The first blues song comes from London we understand being I a world leader country and having no voice, believe me man, we love this shit and we don't hate anyone on what their skin colour is.
@@culturejones2078 james brown, parliament funkadelic are the most sampled third would be bootsy collins Bootsy played with jb, and pfunk.you can.hear his basslines sampled in many rap songs Bootsy.played with zapp and Roger which includes more samples Bob james is cool.but jb snd pfunk been sampled way more times snd continue to do.so

I am so glad i heard the hiphop versions of James Brown songs before i actually heard the original james brown songs. Makes it easy to see/hear James Brown genius. He was so far ahead musically that time has not yet caught up to him
It's 23 I found this track first time. It hits hard. Ah damn brother, rip. I'll listen to your so gs when they turn into 100 years old. Thats a promise.
This song and "Pay the Cost to be the Boss" are 2 of my faves. I don't care what anybody say this music is still too LIVE!! R.I.P. to James Brown "The Original King of Crunk"
Your words are pure. Don’t take this as disrespectt but put some respect on The Godfather of soul name!! Not the king, but The Godfather!! This man is the inventor of hip hop most sampled person in the culture
James Brown has influenced literally the entire music world. You'll reach the youtube comment sections character limit before you finished listing all the G.O.A.T.s that were influenced by James Brown.
I met James Brown before he was TRULY famous. I was a kid when he did a skit in a lil town in VA. Whitesville VA. Then at a fair called the TASLEY FAIRGROUNDS in TASLEY VA. My dad played with him I guess a few times. At 54 years old I still listens to all his hits and Side B songs. I love his music. R.I.H.P.
I swear my walk and my talk gets a little more funkier every time I rock this to the point it's to funky for words ...I become A STONE COLD SUPER SOUL BROTHER...Ready To Take It To The Man
Man you guys had such great opportunities for music that was alive. Today's music has no soul, no meaning. You can listening to tracks like this and feel the pain, the joy, the sorrow, the meaning. Long live music that moves your soul.
You can tell JB and his band found the "get down groove" at the 3:00 mark when JB starts ad libbing (like wants to freestyle rap) and the band start feeling themselves. That's just magic
I had this groove stuck in my head for weeks, and I was digging through like EVERY meters song I could think of, but then I finally realized... of course it was JB
The band is getting in the zone...then JB gets into the zone...then all the bros into the same zone...man that keyboard kills me...man isn't this the shit :)
Man, I’ve been listening to James Brown since I was thirteen years old - have got so much from his music and his attitude. This groove has to be my favourite from his entire canon. If there is a music heaven, Brown earned his place.
I'M GLAD THAT THERE'S AN EXTENDED VERSION OF THIS. ON THE "BLACK CAESAR" SOUNDTRACK YOU WANT MORE AND MORE OF THIS. I LUV U, BROTHER JAMES. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
ML Grest, you’ve done some google research. Songs like Rapper’s Delight went mainstream because of the disco breaks. Hip Hop didn’t just began when those dudes hit the booth. The official turfs were block parties, old buildings and parks. And FYI, ‘79 is still considered the ‘70s. Take the L son.
ML Your comment is inconsistent with your previous posts. You mockingly replied, “The 70s?” As though @bignardo95 was delusional. Then you got schooled by me. Then your retort was ‘79 is only one year so it doesn’t count as the ‘79s. I’d say that was pretty ‘arrogant’ and dumb. Then you claim you didn’t need to do any google research, but you used Rapoers Delight as your proof for what’s official. Finally realizing you were wrong, you retreated into the sensitive humble student doing the “all I was asking was......” Thats what chicks do dude. Take the L.
First time I ever heard this song and can't stop listening to it! BAD ASS JAMES FUNKIN IT DOWN AGAIN & AGAIN! WHY DID HE HAVE TO LEAVE US WITHOUT A Replacement OF HIM?? Oh I know why... NO ONE ELSE COULD EVEN BEGIN TO BE LIKE HIM IN ANY WAY HIS DANCE MOVES HIS SONGS HIS SINGING AND HE HAD THE BEST BAND THAT COULD FUNK IT ALL DOWN?! DAMN BOY!!
When you, your parents and grand parents have a favorite song by one artist that’s saying something Thanks for everything James I wasn’t in existence in the 1960’s but to make a song “ Say it loud I’m black and I’m proud in a blatantly racist and hostile environment says James self respect was worth more than money. He risked it all for us Thanks again James we love you and you’re definitely missed
You had to have talent and be damn good to make sounds with your mouth, no music writing just sounds. AND the band plays it exactly like you want it. Best band in the land, he earned all of his titles , as did his bands.
I always wondered how he composed. I recently saw the movie Get On Up and I was hopping that they would explore more that part of his creative process. I would love to see their creative process of him and the band
He didn't have what you say was a Formal Education Juvenile Detention only, but he was Blessed by the Heavenly Father to be a Musical Genius, Artist, Bandleader and Instrumentalist, he Played Organ and Drums the most sampled Artist in American History, the most memorable for this one is 'They Want EFX' DAS EFX
I remember sunday mornings as a 4-5 yr old waking up at my65 yr old grandmas pad, james bumpin, her sweeping to the beat..feelin it.i honestly believe we were the only mexicans on our block who liked jb..hers and his(jb) influence helped shape my musical side.no doubt i grew up to be a dj..and i am in a band as well..thnx godfather
I love this song! One of my favorite tracks off the Black Caesar soundtrack. I love The Boss too, but this one seems to rock my bones a little more. The drums on here are the best! I love the intro rhythm too!
It's 1973 all over I remember my older brother busting through the door and saying yo Geoff I got the Black Caesar album and he saying you gotta hear the boss but he let the whole album play and when this track came on I was loving the guitars and bass and drums did it for me expecially that change when the bass goes a little solo and the drummer hits his stick aww man I was done you see we in the hood all loved James Brown and by the time the needle got to the boss it was all over look at me know what you see you see a bad mother funka
geoffrey lee this was the Papa Don't Take No Mess, The Big Payback prelude. He revolutionized music. Countless musicians in rarefied air, had to bring their A game. This played in the house growing up and guess who destroyed the album cover lol. A classic too. Dammit man!

Such a genius for smashing a load of rap beats together with instruments!
Come to Latvia Mr. Brown!
This came out in 1973 and James Brown has already passed away. This guy is legendary. He gave hip hop it's beat.
Are you crazy?
@@gracejonesboxcut4990 lol....I think the person that said that was from Latvia so we'll forgive them.
@Reginald Dawson I might be misunderstanding the comment. Anyway all good. He'll figure out that without James Brown there's no hip hop.
@@gracejonesboxcut4990 Sho u right!
The beginning makes the entire song for me. The LEGEND in his element.
God dam momma, my neck is sore nodding to the hypnotic vibe........ mesmerising! God bless this mans soul........
It don't get no funkier than this !
DAMN I MISS JAMES😩
Who else can make black masculinity sound this good? James was necessary James is irreplaceable. RIP Godfather
James Brown freestyled his music as well as his songs. GREATNESS!!!!!
I love this song! One of my favorite tracks off the Black Caesar soundtrack. I love The Boss too, but this one seems to rock my bones a little more. The drums on here are the best! I love the intro rhythm too!
Walking to the barber shop to make that kill and cut the ear off!
You sure really know a good music
Oh my GOODNESS James Brown and the TALENT he had for bandmates...Undeniable!!!
Listen to this shit, man. Dude was on some other level.
The song you play when tell the boss to go f--- themselves and turn round and depart the premises knowing you're unemployed but a shitload happier.
Bro, I am facing this situation, today I will do it.
MK 23 ... Did you do it? How did it go?
Leaving strutting like James with coattails flying and a little hop in your step
I want to that soooooo bad!!!!!
Well that's handy. Did the thing a couple weeks ago, and today I discover this song.
Just a filthy funky groove...
Straight. Fucking. Pocket.
The king of music
I WAS BLIND, BUT THIS FUNKY GROOVE MADE ME SEE AND DANCE TOO!
Man I am getting high right now getting ready for my dad to pass feeling the cold unforgiving back hand of JB. This life. God bless America goddammit.
It's 1973 all over I remember my older brother busting through the door and saying yo Geoff I got the Black Caesar album and he saying you gotta hear the boss but he let the whole album play and when this track came on I was loving the guitars and bass and drums did it for me expecially that change when the bass goes a little solo and the drummer hits his stick aww man I was done you see we in the hood all loved James Brown and by the time the needle got to the boss it was all over look at me know what you see you see a bad mother funka
geoffrey lee this was the Papa Don't Take No Mess, The Big Payback prelude. He revolutionized music. Countless musicians in rarefied air, had to bring their A game. This played in the house growing up and guess who destroyed the album cover lol. A classic too. Dammit man!
Geoffrey's lee
You mean “Black Caesar “RECORD”!
LMAO😂 You sound like me, you really love music guy blessings...
A pocket lined with gold. Pure funk.
Thank you Mr. Brown.
Incredible!
