{"product_id":"fakin-the-funk","title":"Fakin' The Funk","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the film \u003cem\u003eWhite Men Can't Jump\u003c\/em\u003e was released in 1992, an EP of music from the film was dropped almost simultaneously. That EP, cheekily titled \u003cem\u003eWhite Men Can't Rap\u003c\/em\u003e, featured a couple of exclusive gems, notably Gang Starr's \"\u003cem\u003eNow You're Mine\u003c\/em\u003e\" and a cut from Main Source called \"\u003cem\u003eFakin' the Funk\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe only single borne of that six-track EP was the Main Source track, released in remixed form on Wild Pitch records the same year. No surprise, it was head and shoulders above the rest. Opening with those unmistakable harmonies from Main Ingredient's Magic Shoes, the intro segues into a crisp beat borrowed from Grady Tate's frequently sampled \"\u003cem\u003eBe Black Baby\u003c\/em\u003e\" from 1969. Throw in a sprinkle of Kool \u0026amp; The Gang and you've got a track that would fit seamlessly onto Main Source's masterpiece of an album, \u003cem\u003eBreaking Atoms\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, it's the group's last hurrah, the final collaboration between \u003cstrong\u003eK-Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSir Scratch\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eLarge Professor\u003c\/strong\u003e before the latter departed the trio. It's fitting that he saves one of his best vocal performances for last, railing at sell-outs with the assistance of his long-term collaborator \u003cstrong\u003eNeek the Exotic\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNever released before on an official 7\", it's a track that has lost none of its appeal, and the remix is the definitive version of this classic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50464700465483,"sku":"1113991","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Green | 7\"","offer_id":50464702792011,"sku":"1113992","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f432cad5-2af1-4eba-b343-5d71ac18d317_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727278310","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/fakin-the-funk","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
