Get Down, The Influence Of James Brown (2020) – Episode II: Funky President (HD)
This second episode explores the fascinating and unpredictable politics of James Brown while following the influence of his second most sampled track of all time, “Funky President (People It’s Bad).” Touching on the civil rights movement and Brown’s seminal “Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud,” Funky President shows how James Brown, as well as his musical peers and successors, has been able to encourage social change and raise political concern from a black American perspective.

He used to beat the shit out of Tammy Terrell. He was a bad woman beater and that needs to come out in black culture to "raise awareness" of what violence does to the family structure of the culture.
Thanks for sharing! If you have a minute, I shared a new song of mine on my channel. As a fellow music fan, I'd love if you would take a listen. I hope you like it 🙂
The Boss himself JB. It's a pity having all the great black music to inspire and they came up with rap which is pure crap, were all the old black music was to uplift and educate and to bring people together for the music , were as Rap does the totally opposite. Rap your just a DJ playing stuff that's all ready out. It's done nothing but bad for our culture. Its ear pollution the rap crap. RIP MR Dynamite. U can't feel down when listening to James Brown.

Great, short, history lessons. Hope Questlove does more of these.
This distorts JB's politics to make him seem woke in today's leftist sense. A shame.
