This is part 1 of the classic James Funk and Lil Benny fight on stage with Rare Essence pa tape from 1985! The twist to this story from what I've heard...Jas Funk and Funky Ned the Bass player was the ones having the altercation. If thats the case I guess Lil Benny was just instigating the situation lol. Most people remember it as a Funk and Benny fight that night.

@cdallen7657 3 года назад

This was the most crankinist tape of that year. If your neighborhood didn't have this in circulation, I feel sorry for you. But sadly this was the beginning of the end, within a year Benny would leave and form Lil' Benny and The Masters, another premium Go Go band, but to this day Essence is still the wickedist band alive!!!!

@phillipcotton833 3 года назад

Thanks for the timeline on the events after this show. Question....did this "fight tape" show cause Benny to form his own band, or was he gonna leave Essence anyway??

I mean, Benny and Funk going at it after Funk gets jumped....Benny was smooth AF and they just continued CRANKING!! Without question, THE BEST GOGO TAPE EVER! Just think, no other gogo band could have continued cranking like that....💣💥💣

@marvymarv7305 3 года назад

The fight is a classic essence joint. Now first I heard it was some thugs in the crowd who was trying to jump Funk. Then I heard it was Funk and Benny(RIP) fighting, then I heard it was Funk and Funky Ned fighting. Who ever it was. This is a must have essence tape. Fo Sure. They came out that joint rocking 19:45

@Gogoloops 6 месяцев назад

Exactly. Ned and Funk are very strong willed and similar individuals, as am I lol. I bumped heads with both of them a few times when I worked with them. So it makes sense. Benny was always real cool wit me and later found out he was family. He was definitely instigating 💯 😆 which I’m a pro at too.

@Gogoloops 6 месяцев назад

That’s why I put the pic of Ned in all white lol cause a lot of ppl still thin it was Funk and Benny 😆 lil subliminal hint
