[Intro: Chorus from 'Rhyming on the Funk' by Money B] |
|
S-H-I-N-I-N on the funk |
|
And listen to the MCs rhyming on the funk |
|
We solemnly swear; to never bust a style that's bunk |
|
So listen to the way that we're rhyming on the funk |
|
[Humpty Hump] Yeah! Yo, shock, it's a funky groove, man, it's kind of funky! |
|
[Shock G:] You think so? I appreciate that, Hump |
|
[Humpty Hump] |
|
But yo player, how come you and Money B decided to call it? |
|
Why did y'all name it 'Rhyming on the Funk', You know what I'm saying? (Well) |
|
I mean, like, alright, if the beat is funk, and y'all was rapping over it |
|
So obviously you're rhyming on the funk, you know what I'm saying? |
|
[Shock G] Yeah, that's what I'm saying |
|
[Humpty Hump] |
|
So why would you even name a song like that? |
|
it's obviously rhyming on the funk, it's like you're not trying to be creative.. |
|
[Shock G] |
|
Yo Humpty man, if you want me to answer your question; |
|
You gotta cool out and listen, alright? (Uh-huh) |
|
Yo, I just named it "Rhyming on the Funk" we kind of.. |
|
We decided to call it that, because we know the beat's funky and everything, |
|
But it's, it goes.. (Ooh, dig it!) Listen! Just listen! it goes beyond that! |
|
The beat's funky but we wanted to let people know where the real funk came from |
|
We didn't mean funk as in funky beats |
|
we meant funk as in the Funk Mob, you know what I'm saying? |
|
[Humpty Hump] |
|
Oh! Funk Mob? (Yeah) |
|
What the hell is the funk mob, bunch a brothers don't take a bath? Ha,ha ha. |
|
[Shock G] |
|
No, no, Humpty, listen, man |
|
Sometimes you act real dumb, you know what I'm saying? |
|
(Oh, come on!) Funk Mob is like, you know; |
|
All the new deaf producers who's doing the fly beats now |
|
Like the Lynch Mob, the Bomb Squad (Yeah!) PMD, Dr. Dre (Oh! yeah) |
|
They dropping all the hype new stuff, the Hip-Hop stuff |
|
The Funk Mob was the old production crew man, you know what I'm saying? |
|
The Funk Mob is Parliament, Funkadelic, Brides of Frankenstein |
|
Freddie Wesley and the Horny Horns, George Clinton |
|
And Bootsy Collins, you know what I'm saying? |
|
Those kind of people.. |
|
[Humpty H] Yo, I know those, I know all of them brothers, man |
|
[Shock G:] They laid the groundwork Humpty, we gotta give it up |
|
[Humpty Hump] |
|
Man, I know all of them, Bootsy and George Clinton and them |
|
But what I'm trying to say, is it ain't really like that a new thing, man |
|
The new stuff, the DJs and samplers and things, you got people like me saying |
|
(They laid the groundwork) Stop what you're doing, you know what I'm saying? |
|
(No!) it's just, it's a new phase |
|
It ain't nothing like you trying to back there, it ain't.. |
|
[Shock G:] |
|
Humpty, be quiet, man, listen (Pffft.. HHHHH be quiet) |
|
You're not hearing what I'm saying |
|
All the Hip-Hop stuff we doing now is BASED on what these brothers did |
|
James Brown, all of these people (I know that, Shock) |
|
You got to give credit where credit is due, you know what I'm saying? |
|
[Humpty Hump] |
|
I know this, man, yo, yo, yo, I'm giving credit, man, |
|
I'm giving credit, all I'm trying to say (No! You're not though) |
|
See, you're making me upset, man! (You're not giving credit though!) |
|
All I'm trying to say is; that it's cool but it ain't like the newer |
|
Just I'm not from that time period (So What?) |
|
And I don't understand all of that (You don't have to be) |
|
And it ain't all that.. |
|
[Shock G] |
|
Yo, you don't have to be from that time period to understand it |
|
You know what I'm saying? (It's some of that!) NO-uh, it's all of that! |
|
(Psssh, aw, man) Not 'Just Knee Deep' Humpty! |
|
[Humpty Hump] |
|
Oh, uh, I didn't know the Funk Mob made 'Not Just Knee Deep' Oh! man! |
|
[Shock G:] |
|
Well, that's what it is! You ain't even up on nothing (Alright) |
|
You ain't up on nothing! why don't you just.. (It's MOST of that!) |
|
Huh? I'm not stupid; I heard you, you said it's Most of that |
|
