Bootsy Collins ft. Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg & Chuck D - Hip-Hop @ Funk U

Bootsy Collins - Hip-Hop @ Funk U

Producer: Bootsy Collins

Album: Tha Funk Capital of the World

Label: Megaforce

The naturally mood-elevating bass stylings of Bootsy Collins never seem to go out of style, and that enduring appeal has allowed the funk legend to keep dropping albums at a steady clip to this very day. Be that as it may, we in the Booth have never featured the seasoned vet… until today. The perfect occasion to introduce the Parliament-Funkadelic alum to uninitiated heads, Hip Hop @ Funk U finds Collins coming together with a few of rap’s most storied vets. Over a sprawling funk groove, anchored – of course – with a rock-solid bassline, West Coast icons Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg grab the mic to celebrate the headliner’s classic contributions to the game, the latter even proclaiming himself “Bootsy’s baby brother.” Public Enemy frontman Chuck D brings some Northeastern flavor to the final third, dedicating his verse to all the funk greats who have passed away. Topped off with an unknown singer’s infectious hook vocals and a heartwarming cameo from a young “Snoop protégé,” Funk U should brighten the day of anyone with a funky bone in his or her body. If you’re digging it, prepare to journey to The Funk Capital of the World on April 26, when Collins’ latest LP hits stores.

Samurai DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 119	Rating: Samurai's Top Rated Songs I guess I don't really understand this type of music. I've never been much of a fan of gangster West Coast rap either, so the big names don't do much for me either.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11684	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Live instrumentation with three veteran emcees on board? You can't lose, right? Well, this doesn't pale in comparison to Booty's older material, but its still a fun listen. Nice to see him working with respectable artists and not flash-in-the-pants emcees of today's generation (just to make a quick digital dime). Follow @DJBooth

sashathumpa DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 211	Rating: sashathumpa's Top Rated Songs It's Bootsy baaaaby. I love him and he's a certified legend but I'm not really feeling this track maybe if it was just Bootsy I could dig it more. Snoop fits because he's as animated as Bootsy but Cube a bit out of place.
