Early this morning the world lost a pioneer, a true legend, when James Brown died after being hospitalized with pneumonia. Brown was one of the most elite and influential musicians of the past century. He brought the funk (he invented it) but he also sang and acted with the goal of bettering the lives of African Americans and poor people across the country. These are the things we should remember James Brown for - let's make Christmas mean something this year.
Have yourseleves a very Merry (funky) Christmas.
Listen:
"Funky Christmas" (via silence is a rhythm too)
"Santa Claus Go Straight To The Ghetto" (via who killed the mixtape?)
"Let's Make Christmas Mean Something This Year Pts 1 & 2" (via FPSA)
