This is sick sick sick. Parliament Funkadelic 1969! Nuff said. Thanks to Jarn5000 for the footage, and to Jay Babcock, King Arthur, for the linkage.

This is a prime example of how music builds on music and past techiques like call and response and the organ in the performance which kind of gives u a feeling of the old baptist church. Hip hop did not just fall out the sky and too many people think that; it came from roots that date back to tribes and culture in ancient Africa. If a lot more people knew that we would appreciate it a lot more than what we do.
