Skratch Bastid - James Brown 'Sex Machine' Routine

Eternal props to the Godfather of Soul, Mr. James Brown. A constant source of inspiration (as you can also see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5HBP0pS6d0), James Brown's records were the base of hip-hop music. At SXSW in Austin, TX this year, I sat in on a conversation between Chuck D and Bootsy Collins. Chuck said that James' "Give It Up Or Turn It Loose (Live)" was THE first hip-hop record. He told Bootsy that the moment the bass line came in at the breakdown, the dancers would go wild and you could feel the energy of something new happening. His "20 Greatest Hits" album was one of the first soul records I bought and that I still have to this day. It is the record I am using in this video. Bought one at Select Sounds in Bedford and another at Primitive Records in Montreal. Thank you, James!
