Fixed in between Rap and Soul, Rhythm And Blues, Reggae and Rock And Roll, there's the cornerstone of all music my friend - salute the mighty Funk and let me hear a "Amen". More than the music, Funk's a lifestyle, an artform, medicine to keep a cold heart warm. The party is swingin you come with the Funk and you're bringing the rhythm to everyone else - because the spirit of the Funk is life itself. Funk can stimulate all of your senses - touch, taste, smell, see, hear and speak. Funk is a blessing, Funk is everything - No, I made a mistake, the only thing Funk can't be is fake. Like dope Funk can make you a friend, Coke, Methadone, LSD, Morphine or Codiene - so if you ever see me nodding like a junkie, it ain't because i'm high - it's because what Big "O" said was funky...
Funk (Umar Bin Hassan, Melle Mel, Bill Laswell, Bootsy Collins) from The Last Poets, Holy Terror
