That was so good I think I'll have to watch it again #WeWantTheFunk
Genuine good music telly at the back end of Summer on BBC2 right now. I was a bit worried when they leaned heavily into James Brown early but better now Sly and George are here.

The #WeWantTheFunk documentary that premiered on PBS last month could/should have been multiple episodes. Could've easily got like 4 parts out of it!

5mag.net/news/pbs-we-... "We Want the Funk" is a just released documentary on PBS. The history and those responsible for this transformative musical genre was a result of the conservative 50s and 60s. #WeWantTheFunk #PBS #Parliament #JamesBrown

"Without funk, there would be no hip hop...
Funk is always evolving...almost like an organism...it goes from one thing to the next thing, to the next thing...
It is not going anywhere, it will always be, because it's in our soul."
-Prince Paul

"If you are chained to the bottom of a boat, you have to have hope, an idea of a future, to survive.
To me, that is the core, that is the seed of Afrofuturism, I can see a future, beyond the bottom of this boat."
