Rick James was a musical genius on the level of Prince. Prince used to open for him, and Rick James recognized that Prince was one of the few people that could compete with him.
" So far as I'm concerned they all can go to Hell." What more can u do or say in regards to Rick James as to moralize upon him & criticize or condemn anything he's ever done. He clearly address all those who had something to say about him & He made sure to make his feelings heard & known right out the gate when he first stepped on the musical scene with this tune. Indeed a statement & a worthy set of words all through the song. (*The Brother had something to say & music to make, make no mistake about it.)
I am from BUFFALO (so you know we rep Rick like Canadians rep Drake), and I've NEVER heard this version of this song... AND I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for blessing me.
You need to be reported and slapped for this comment hip hop never killed r&b music funk what the heck as many artist tried to duplicate funk music man bye half of the hip hop rappers can't even come up with their own beats rap is the one that died
You are so perfect in your comments, hip hop killed quality and quantification of what music that is done right now made up garbage that we have today!
This post has THE CLEANEST AUDIO of this song I have EVER heard! Each singers singing can be heard separately from the others as the song goes! EXCELLENT!
Chilling in Florida, beautiful breeze and some good herb going on and this song fits perfectly with the Vibes! Big up to my fellow Rick James fans grooving to this in 2024
Rick most certainly was genius both musically & lyrically. He was a great artist, songster & produced great music. One thing got in his pathway & it took him too soon. 😌😔☮️💟🕎🛐💖🌹🌺🌹🌺🎗️💖🎗️💖🌺🎗️

Rick was a very talented and creative artist unfortunately he had demons which he wasn't able to deal.or control and they hurt him and lead to his down fall. Sadly he left use way too soon but we always have his music to remember him by and it always makes me feel so good and just want to get up and dance and bogie.
Robert Conahey , all genius has it's dark side, he wouldn't have gone back and changed a thing, ceptnaybe take karate and fight Charlie Murphy better !
Man I used to smoke dabs to this song and dance with the funk while my lame friends think this music is trash cause they so stuck in their ways listening to trash rap. REAL stoners smoke to music like this not Rap. 💯
I don't recall hearing them sing "Dance and shout, funk yourself right on out!" NOR "We done laid this groove so you can move on the funk" these were two major parts of the song that I love! :-(
