20 Essential Funk Albums

[Black Kevin Arnold @bnease]

At the beginning of Tony! Toni! Toné! and DJ Quik’s “Let’s Get Down” DJ Quik says:

‘You didn’t think we could flip it on ya ass huh…something for the dance floor’

And then they interpolated the prechorus from Nirvana’s “Smell’s Like Teen Spirit” on the hook and made it a bop.

[Jeff Weiss @Passionweiss]

D’Angelo recording a cover of Fela's “Water No Get Enemy” at Electric Lady Studios in 2000.

His initial rendition of the afro-beat classic began during the “Voodoo" sessions – as an intended duet with Lauryn Hill.

Later, it was reworked for the '02 compilation “Red Hot + Riot."

I’m**

[Spree Wilson @SpreeWilson]

I’m actually pretty excited for the future of filmmaking. As a filmmaker, I going to continue telling stories about the place I come from and showcase folks who look like me on the big screen

Rest in peace, Dexter Wansel…

Philly soul & jazz fusion pioneer, masterful keyboardist, producer & arranger whose cosmic vision shaped the Sound of Philadelphia.

From “Love T.K.O.” & “Nights Over Egypt” to the cult classic Life on Mars, his grooves left an indelible mark.

[Maurice White - EWF Legacy @EWFLegacy]

“I feel that pop music and R&B, well, so-called R&B, has all evolved out of an American Experience. A lot of it goes back to the blues and maybe beyond that to old time jazz, so what has happened is that all the music that we do has evolved from past experience.” - Maurice

@LexxMoves @ChasingKia My favorite use of the song!

[The Art Of Dialogue @ArtOfDialogue_]

“It’s not an event to stay home and watch movies in your living room.”

Steven Spielberg says watching movies in a theater builds community as he explains why the movie theater experience is better than watching films at home.

Larenz should’ve won an Oscar!

[The Art Of Dialogue @ArtOfDialogue_]

Larenz Tate says the original description of the character O-Dog for Menace II Society didn’t match his appearance and says his reaction during the liquor store scene after the clerk spoke about his mother was authentic.

In case you missed it, here's something we worked on with Panavision

to show you how we got the BIG, BOLD COLOR of I Love Boosters

And why you MUST see it in theaters

[Boots Riley @BootsRiley]

Every day of the weekend, movies box office drops a certain percentage each day.

I Love Boosters had the least percentage drop of all the movies this weekend, by a fair amount.

This tells me the word of mouth is working.

[Spree Wilson @SpreeWilson]

I don’t talk about my work much on Twitter anymore, but definitely check out that new @DeanteVH “Junkie in the Sun”. One of my favorite albums of the year!

I had the pleasure of co-producing and doing background vocals on “Heaven on Earth”. 🤘🏾✨

Good music will always win

[Spree Wilson @SpreeWilson]

@_jmcollins @ritmoysonido Definitely stealing this fit! Wow, incredible

[cj @chronowerks]

the peripheral stuff Sly Stone was recording when he was making There's A Riot Goin' On is some of the coolest sounding music of all time
