Cool, Funky and smooth all at the same time! That's a damn good video. I shudder to think how many liberties nave been taken in sampling classic soul and funk tunes without giving the original artist their due credit.--- Great Hub!
Bonjour to all the visitors en francais.
Dude...I just watched this video...AMAZING. You've officially got a new fan.
Even the Angels think you are pretty cool!! Great tunes!! Go DJ!! Blessings, Earth Angel!!

yo funktual,
you ever thought about focusing your top 10 samples video on certain producers? like top 10 samples that primo did, or top 10 dre samples, or whoever.
thought that may be dope.
i'll keep watching as long as you keep puttin' 'em up, homie.
peace.

This is great! the masses need to be educated to the original artists that put out this music. Too many producers (especially Dr.Dre) take too much credit sampling these people's work and most if not all times those original artists get ignored when it comes to original recognition.
