this dude is a HIP-HOP LEGEND....I have always considered the late and extremely GREAT James Brown to be one of the main reasons why hip-hop music exists....of course it was started by the father of it all Kool Herc and his partner in crime Afrika Bambaataa, but the influence from James Brown cannot be denied....James influenced heads like Bootsy Collins, George Clinton and Larry Blackmon as well and all 3 of those guys laid the base for a bunch of hip-hop samples........James invented the FUNK...and funk is somewhat responsible for being the base of hip-hop music...reggae music as well has a lot to with the creation of hip-hop...

anyway back to James's top 5?? here goes nothing....lol

You're a fool that doesn't know his music. Do you know about anything pre 1965? That's when the best R&B was made, not that 80's bullshit you love so much. Try Me is his best track...no opinion on this one, it's a fact.

I see 5 lists and no one has Try Me on their list....Was James Brown singing Try Me before or after he had been beating on Tammi Terrell?

1958 I believe.

Yup, I was right, late '58.

of course stupid...I've already shown that dummy......Try Me was nowhere near one of the GREAT James Brown's best songs....


your the one that doesn't know your music Mac Dre....fa thozzle....jeff dozzle.....

oh and 70's and 80's r&b >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 60's r&b and that's a damn FACT......

the 60's had some monumental efforts but the 70's and 80's are beatin' it up mane.....

I'm gonna start out by saying that Try Me is NOT James Brown's best song ever, not even close. It's a good song, but he has at least 20 better IMO.

Yeah, I said pre '65, which pretty much means the best of it was dying down around 1965, so the 50's is really the decade you wanted to diss if you were trying to hurt my feelings. You are ignorant of the decade, so you thinking the 70's & 80's were better is only because you're not knowing. Try Me is his best song, there's really no comp at all. What track of James Brown did Bob Marley feel the need to make a version of?...was it any on your list Powell?, or how about yours KJ? No, it was none of those. Mr. Music Robert Nesta made a version of JB's greatest track, and really the only one I play on a regular basis Try Me.

It's a man's world (easily his best, imo)

I don't know about every r&b track ever released in the 60's but neither do you so we are even there but I feel I know enough abough about Motown's humble beginnings and Stax, etc...etc.....James Brown in the early 60's was doing his thang but it was the late 60's and 70's when he was in his prime...do your homework on it and learn B.Shaw....

as far the 70's and 80's r&b well yes in my opinion those were the strongest years for the genre...heads who were in their primes during those years such as:

Stevie Wonder
Michael Jackson
Prince
Curtis Mayfield
Barry White
Issac Hayes
James Brown
Gladys Knight
Patti LaBelle
Chaka Khan
Slave
The Time
Whitney Houston
Teddy Riley
Jimmy Jam And Terry Lewis
Janet Jackson
Jackson 5
New Edition
Chic
Shalamar
Earth, Wind And Fire
Marvin Gaye
Guy
Sade
Pointer Sisters
Isley Bros
Rick James
Teena Marie
S.O.S. Band
Loose Ends
Cherrelle
Alexander O'Neal
Al Green
Force MD's

I could go on and on....obviously not all of these acts started in either the 70's or the 80's but they all PEAKED or were in their PRIME during those years which is why they are the best years for the genre in it's history IN MY OPINION...and I haven't even named all of the acts I could....lol

I don't know much about R&B in the 50's but the little I have been exposed to why good was not as strong as the later decades. Especially for most black artist who had to water down their sound to crossover. The 60's & 70's saw more artist saying fuck that and making the music they really wanted.

The 50's Powell, FIVE ZERO, Doo Wop R&B like the Time Tones. A great deal of my favorites were from NYC, so I know you would get down with that, if you were only exposed to it. K. Rob, like you said, you're knowledge on the decade is limited, watered down is what I call the shit that followed like a lot of the Motown & Stax when they started mixing it with Soul. I could make a list too Powell, and I bet you wouldn't have heard a single track by any of them.

Ummm B.Shaw make the fuckin list and stop running your phat mouth man....lol

stop talking about what I haven't heard and show me something man...teach me something

just for the record I'm comparing the 70/80's r&b to the 60's r&b...if you want to add the 50's r&b too it then feel free

If you like Try Me that's fine man. Just let me see a Top 5 list of yours if you're saying that is his best song of all time, in your opinion.

That's really all that you were after isn't it? Lists Yay. You know this is a waste of time, you don't know any of these groups Powell, you know a lot about a select few artists, that's it.

Chanters
Silhouettes
Aquatones
Channels
Bop Chords
Castelles
Vince Castro & The Tonettes
Cellos
Gladiolas
Chandeliers
Dumauries
Hollywood Flames
Dubs
Chesters

I too can go on for days, but like I said it's pointless because you don't know shit.

Hghsmith, I like Night Train, and then you can just add 3 more of his overplayed hits to my list to make 5 my man.

Yo Shaw no offense but most blacks are not crazy about no fucking doo wop music. It did not have the staying power like true soul R&B. It actually comes off corny save for some exceptions.

Too bad, because the black folk did it the best. In the words of Neto "Oldies rule forever", I guess it's just me and the chicanos that still love it...what a shame.

Well 50's oldies are a part of the low rider culture so I get that. And I may be wrong but some of those balck grps may did that just to get on and too survive.

I too can go on for days, but like I said it's pointless because you don't know shit.

so I guess what you wanted to do was find a bunch of obscure groups that not many have heard of and make yourself appear to look intelligent and cool and in your feeble mind that is exactly what you have done....excellent job B.Shaw...excellent job...you fuckin snow cone...lol

I have heard of about 3 of those groups..so I have a bunch of homework to do and I'm going to get started on that homework this weekend...but I tell you what if this list you have rattled off is not on the level of primetime Stevie Wonder......primetime MJ......primetime Chaka Khan...primetime Earth, Wind And Fire....and the rest of that GREAT list that I put up well then I'm going to know for a fact that you truly are one dumb motherfucker man....REAL TALK....because to just throw up a list just because it is obscure and not for the QUALITY of their music would mean that you B.Shaw are full of hot bowels....I can't wait to give you a full report within the next couple of weeks....this should be quite interesting......

lol @ full of hot bowels

Ohhh hell yeah. Finally someone listed I listen to.

King Heroin
Blind Man Can See It
The Payback
Try Me

Yah, he just happened to find them, why don't you google doo wop to see if they appear dipshit, my homeboy is a big fan of that shit, 45 rpm collection like you wouldn't believe. Your dumbass is out of your league...just give up fag.

I'm glad you created that smiley because thats you all the UP B.Shaw's crusty ass.....I wasn't even talking to the shy bear from jellystone park fuckface...

I don't care what B.Shaw is a "big fan" of.....all that I requested was a list that he thought would be better than the artists that I listed and that's what he gave me....now it's up to me to do my homework and by homework I don't mean googling (What the fuck is that...lol) I mean listening to each and everyone of those artists he listed in depth and then making my determination if I feel that sound and quality wise they are better than Michael Jackson in his prime....or Marvin Gaye in his......or the S.O.S Band in theirs.....or the production of Jimmy Jam And Terry Lewis in theirs....etc..etc


because then that would mean the 50's and early 60's r&b is better than the 70's and 80's r&b....and right now in B.Shaw's opinion it is and that would be my opinion too if I'm hearing the same thing he's hearing...lol..we shall see...if it's anything like his taste in hip-hop well then I don't expect too much, but at least I'm willing to explore different options...

what you potato heads need to realize though is that just because something is more "underground" or hasn't been heard by the masses does NOT neccesarily mean that it is better....it doesn't mean that it is worse either it's all up to the listener...but when B.Shaw makes the comment that "Try Me is the GREAT James Brown's best song ever and that is a fact" well then B.Shaw should expect someone to challenge that just like they challenged me when I said NYC was the GOAT creators of hip-hop music of all-time and that is a fact...(something which I still stand by to this very day by the way)....but it's all good that B.Shaw has such a strong take on music because so do I.....so in that way I respect his take....

so BUTT out ........let B.Shaw handle his own debates okay?? thanks a bunch ya damn picnic basket hoarder!

oh and or some admin could you please put back up my Giants logo as my avatar please??

at being one pissed off bear....so fuckin upset that he made me a white man......

what a small embarrassed child he is.....lol

I have no idea what you're saying, maybe if you make a list it will all make sense.

of course you have no idea what I'm saying you sensitive ass bear....Hey your drug use needs to decrease mane.....it's for your own good stupid....

LOL, Is that MacGyver?

Comedy, Powell hasn't heard them so they're "obscure". I guess every 2011 rap release is obscure as well. Why are you on this forum again? Beat it kook, You bring nothing to the table.

This is a hip hop forum, you want to talk R&B all day go somwhere else
