This song is damn near perfect. And it is SO original too. Not many beats out there where the boom box hits at the same time as the high hat. That is REALLY fresh and hard to make sound good. This dude is legit.
@@jackiebooker1532 yup. Also check out WC of west side connection. His first rap duo was called Low Profile with DJ Alladin. A song called PAY YA DUES. Sampled this same track heavy
Funny story: first time I saw him was @ stones throw concert. My bro and I went and made friends with some of the audience members. When all of a sudden a dude with long straight hair and sun glasses goes behind the decks. Nobody knew who he was so we all starting make fun of him calling him “perm” we all thought he was gonna be wack. Boy were we wrong! Literally every song he played was better than the other. His whole set was amazing. He rocked the crowd. By the end of the night we were all yelling “perm we love you!! You rock, perm!!” That night my bro and I learned that his stage name was Dam Funk. The rest is history.
Help me..I want to know the lyrics.I'm Japanese but I love this song for a long time.This one is CA classic.Dam-Funk is REAL.I want to know more.Thank you.

dam funk is a cool dude. Yeah, he sings a little funny, but he does it from the heart, cause that's the music that he wants to do, uncompromised by label pressure. I was sleeping on the funk for a while,but he brought me back :)
Honestly, his “funny singing” sounds more like some early 90’s Robbie Brown-type stuff, not actually “bad”. But since that is clearly what he is trying to emulate here with the classic Dre-style beats that works just fine.
@@shanemcquillan2333 Sometimes Shazam be on that bullshit. They can give wrong song names and not enough of the song plays to identify it. I hate when that happens...
Ohhhhhhh damn! Been searching for this song for around 3 months with absolutely no idea who it was by or what it was called. Just found this shit without even trying to. Feels better than unblocking your ears.
Dour Festival 2012 !!! What a performance ! Like back in the days ! Tnx for bringing the 80's back !!! I will stay keepin your music alive !!! Keep it comin ! Much respect !
Had to take a trip to the west coast today. He is so damn serious on this song lol! This is one of my favorite songs to listen to when I just need to smile. 😁
As for Dam's vocal delivery, he's already stated on numerous occasions that it was a rush job before heading off to Japan the following morning. It was just something that he wrote on the spot to add to the already released 'instrumental' version included on his debut album. This version is only a 12" single version (which features MC Eiht, which explains his quote: "Pasadena CPT connection y'all"). Just ride to the groove for God's sake! He's slappin' with this one. Period.
TIL: Someone I went to hs with, has a musical career. Fun fact: those fellas on the porch? Also folks we went to school with; good to see he's still friends with them. Recognized Jeff and Chris. First song of his I heard, but glad to see he didn't forget the 'Dena roots. Song def speaks truth; I'm still friends with many of my 'Dena friends, even though it's been a few decades since we all graduated.
peace to Dam-Funk and PBW aka chris cuts........two of the coolest cats in the game.....keep spreading the truth brothers.....you can catch Dam-Funk every monday at the carbon bar called funkmosphere....and peanut butter wolf every other thursday at Mr.T Bowling in pasadena....
