wow Diddy called it..
For those that may not know, Diddy was also a dancer! I truly believe he is speaking as a dancer/fan.
If you spin and lack any sense of rhythm, it will go over your head.. Every great Dj I know is either a musician or is a good dancer..im just saying if you cant dance or lack rhythm (keeping it on the THE ONE), how can you make a crowd of people dance? Lets take it back to the basics, Skills and Styles. The gimmicks are wearing very thin, get your weight up or just wait up and pay your dues..
What we do is a blessing and a privilege. Biggups to Diddy!
In the words of KRS ONE: “You’ve got to have style and learn to be original”.
For real..it aint about winging it..its about bringing it. When you got Diddy callin’ yall out, s–t really done hit the fan and the stinch is NOT pretty for the fans..Holla!
all about SLY
Wow! round 2! I feel like a kid again..As a double OG Funk head since the day I first heard a record by Mandrill called “Fencewalk” (I was like 2 years old..changed my life..). I knew Funk is something that you cant explain, its a way of life and being, an attitude. I’ve been blessed to shake hands and work with some giants but this just takes it over the top for me. I felt as though I earned my Ph.d in Funk when I met the man himself, so surreal. I hope to see you all…its gonna be sweet. 
The Summer of 83′
Karate shoes & The Kareem/Magic Dynasty b-tches! That SynthBass is Naaaasty!!

Soul.

“Hey Man! (We Gotta Get You A Woman)”
The Four Tops (1972)
THE FUNK BROS
I love the vocals to the original of this classic and this is my favorite SUPREMES record. However, this version truly shows why this record was a smash..JAMERSON is THE GREATEST BASS PLAYER EVER.. Yes, that’s in print 
Long live THE FUNK BROS and H-D-H!
This is another one the fellas cut by the name of “Hitch Hike” by the master Marvin Gaye. How can u sit down on these gems? ..just pure funk at its best. Martha & The Vandellas deliver major sweetness on the background vocals.
MEMBERS ONLY ISH..
David Ruffin shining at his best, performing one of my all time favorites “Statue of a Fool” (which originally was a country song).
3:19 is priceless…3:54 he gives you the business..Give it to em’ D.R.!
In this next clip he peforms “Walk Away From Love” another one of my childhood favorites…his moves and demeanor are priceless.
Such grace and class. He truly was in a class by himself. Get em’ D.R.!
