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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
Verse 00:28 Let me start this groove by spitting some true game to you 00:33 Cause if you trying to stay fly you know you got to show and prove yeah 00:38 Don't matter what you do don't ever turn your back on your friends y'all 00:43 Cause you know they'll be with you till the very end (*he sings it so it rhymes wit y'all) 00:47 Cause it ain't no game when it comes to paying homage to your rules 00:52 Don't ever forget where you came from that ain't what you do no ( *but he sings it "nawwlll" so it rhymes) 00:56 So don't act all funny style when you make your first buck 01:01 Cause you know you always got to show some love and always give it up Chorus 01:08 You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all 01:12 Cause you never know when you gonna need to go back 01:17 You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all 01:22 Cause you never know when you gonna need to go back Verse 01:26 I just ran through my old hood the other day 01:28 I wanted to know if the homies wanted to try to play 01:33 But little did I know they been peeping my every move 01:38 I didn't have one worry because I been keeping that funk so true 01:43 So here's a lesson to you no matter what you do come from the heart 01:47 No matter what you do you got to keep it true from the start 01:52 And no matter how may busters wanna try to hate on you 01:56 I suggest you stay up and stay strong and always stay cool Chorus 20:01 But ch you know You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all Cause you never know when you gonna need to go back no You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all Cause you never know when you gonna got to go back 02:36 Come on yeah Break it down down down down 02:51 Pasadena C.B.T. connection y'all doing it 02:56 Just bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce 03:12 Rest in peace to Roger Troutman yo
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.
@@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...
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.
this that shit i am loving this shit mad love to dam funk reppin that six two six thats right gee keep that funk coming i hope to see u perform sometime west coast g funk
I luv Dam Funk...Ever since I heard the 'Burn Rubber' remix, I knew he had the flavour I've been missin'... Real positive vibes & no materialistic bullsh*t has earned this guy a lot of respect worldwide. My only criticism is that the vocals on this track need some work (producers will know what I mean by that). Nonetheless Dam-Funk shits on 99% of commercial radio junk. Peace & Luv!.....
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....
saw him last night at the peterson's worldwide. too bad he didn't play it "live", he spinned the single no more althought master blazer & computer jay was around :O brilliant music thought
I wish Dam-Funk laid down vocals on the majority of Toeachizown, would have given it a nice touch (but the album was/is perfect regardless lol). Has anyone heard his tune he made when he was a teenager? It's called "I Like Your Big Ass Girl" -- absolutely unbelievable production at such a young age. Go to Soundcloud . com and type in "stones throw dam-funk" ; it should be the third song in the results.
Just bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, Just bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce Just bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce Just bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce Rest in Peace Roger Troutman, y'all!!!

Aha! They did sound faintly familiar! Thanks Jackie!

This is one of the greatest songs ever created in any genre.

Should have been a GTA hit.
For real

@@uijuuujuu8198 its on gta now ye
I got news for you !
i think hes from the future how did he know

This guy looks so genuinely nice.. kinda feel like hanging out with him, making music, sitting on the porch, Friday style..
he is actually really mean in real life. just kidding youre probably right
Yeah he punched my grandma
baby sleek killed this beat
True artist!! Loving this stuff since it was released, its 10 years now! Thanks Dam.

@@TheBType this is not dr dres style. It was alive and well way before the 90s.
Reminds me kinda Bowie style singing
Yeah dude it’s reminiscent of soul and funk and blues, the emotion and vibes strongly outrank note perfection
Snoop showed me the ways of dam funk and a cant get enough !!!
Truly Dam-Funk's masterpiece.
no bling bling, just a real song in a real life . thank you .peace
Dam-Funk is a real one. Met him on the dancefloor in LA - proper gentleman.
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.
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.
Do you still want to learn the lyrics in English ?
Verse
00:28 Let me start this groove by spitting some true game to you
00:33 Cause if you trying to stay fly you know you got to show and prove yeah
00:38 Don't matter what you do don't ever turn your back on your friends y'all
00:43 Cause you know they'll be with you till the very end (*he sings it so it rhymes wit y'all)
00:47 Cause it ain't no game when it comes to paying homage to your rules
00:52 Don't ever forget where you came from that ain't what you do no ( *but he sings it "nawwlll" so it rhymes)
00:56 So don't act all funny style when you make your first buck
01:01 Cause you know you always got to show some love and always give it up
Chorus
01:08 You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all
01:12 Cause you never know when you gonna need to go back
01:17 You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all
01:22 Cause you never know when you gonna need to go back
Verse
01:26 I just ran through my old hood the other day
01:28 I wanted to know if the homies wanted to try to play
01:33 But little did I know they been peeping my every move
01:38 I didn't have one worry because I been keeping that funk so true
01:43 So here's a lesson to you no matter what you do come from the heart
01:47 No matter what you do you got to keep it true from the start
01:52 And no matter how may busters wanna try to hate on you
01:56 I suggest you stay up and stay strong and always stay cool
Chorus
20:01 But ch you know
You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all
Cause you never know when you gonna need to go back no
You got to keep your hood pass intact y'all
Cause you never know when you gonna got to go back
02:36 Come on yeah
Break it down down down down

But most would agree the vocal is a bit embarrassing, could live without it and just make it instrumental.
Much Love , keep makin funk joints
Respect from Romania
Comment on peut mettre "j'aime pas !!! ???"
Trop fort musicalement , beau flash back , une tuerie !!!
Merci
Can't get enough of this... Belgium
I went here because this was the song Baby Sleek from Wolf’Lo was dancing to during the elimination battle in Street Woman Fighter 2. So good.
I FINALLY FOUND IT! This beat plays at the end of BREALTV videos.
I was looking for it too!
Next time you wanna know (you can Shazam it) 😉
@@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...
I thought it was just me I tried to Shazam it, but you gotta do it right! I finally found it thoe
This Old Skool beat will never die, it will just AMPLIFY!!!
Dam Funk the real deal ... real singer and real musician!
Stonesthrow is the best label ever!!!!!!!!!
