THE KING OF PUNK-FUNK WHO FREAKED THE WORLD FOR THE FIRST TIME: A SINGLE DISC SET FEATURING HIS BIGGEST HITS INCLUDING “SUPER FREAK,” “YOU AND I,” “GIVE IT TO ME BABY,” “COLDBLOODED,” AND “LOOSEY’S RAP.”
In the hierarchy of funk, no artist has been more exciting, more inspired and “badder” than the Super Freak himself, Slick Rick a.k.a. Rick James. His bass-heavy songs and his outrageous persona set the standard for hardcore funk, what he dubbed “punk funk.” For funksters ever since, James hits like “Love
Gun,” “Super Freak” and “Give It To Me, Baby” have been among the guiding lights of the genre.
In 1990, he put his indelible stamp on hip-hop culture when MC Hammer rapped over the instrumental track of “Super Freak” and landed a megahit with “U Can’t Touch This.” The song reminded a new generation that when it came to funk, no one could touch Rick James.
Although a long time legend within the pop music stratosphere, Rick James’ most recent brush with fame/infamy has managed to pervade itself onto an entirely new generation of people thanks in large part to comedian Dave Chappelle’s overthe-top portrayal of the singer on his Chappelle’s Show segment “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories #1: Rick James.” The phrase “I’m Rick James, bitch!” can now be heard resonating from coast to coast, whether it be in locker rooms, office thoroughfares, or out on the street. Long after the comedy and controversy fade, it’s Rick’s great music that remains. And now, for the first time ever, his greatest hits are in one place.
