History James Brown Blaxploitation Trivia by Cosby
posted by on July 1 at 22:47 PM
Cosby commented on James Brown’s Black Caesar album saying:
It’s amazing, especially considering it is built of so-called JB ‘filler’ material (“The Boss” is a disposable b-side? Whoa.)And “The Payback” was rejected by the makers of the movie “Hell Up in Harlem” for being not funky enough.
Thank you, Cosby. It goes to show that you can learn something new about James Brown every day. Like that some people back in the day didn’t think he was funky enough. That’s like saying water isn’t wet.
luckily, the edwin starr soundtrack to 'hell up in harlem' was decent, but dissing 'the payback' is UNREAL. when you diss james, you diss yourself.
get down with yo bad self, Moorman!
Gimme Bobby Womack Across 110th St. That's the shit.
wow. didn't know that. not funky enough? i wonder if the person who said that still has a job.
@ #1
Can my uncle Fonce get some love?
@5:
believe it or not, i was going to mention it; but i'd personally be weirded out by people talking about my family. dude definitely deserves credit, probably moreso than edwin starr.
