As Nasty As They Gonna Be

I was pleased to receive such enthusiastic feedback from vistors regarding the “Anatomy of a Sample” post. I will be continuing this series in the near future, so please check back for the next installment.

First, I want to bless your ears with these two dope tracks from Black Nasty’s 1973 raw funk masterpiece. Unfortunately, this was the only record that Black Nasty ever recorded and it is extremely hard to find on wax. Talking to the People is a very diverse record with slow songs for chilling with your honey as well as some full-on boogie cuts to get your body moving.

The two tracks I am featuring here have a slow to midtempo slinky groove loaded to the gills with fuzz-guitar and heavy organs. If “Nasty Soul” hasn’t been sampled yet it’s only because the DJ heads haven’t heard it yet. This song primarily features a bouncy bass groove with stinging fuzz-guitar solos and a vocal hook that is impossible to shake from your head. By the end of the track, your brain will be sending a message to your ass to get moving. “Getting Funky Round Here” brings the goods too with pumping hammond organs, soulful vocals and a stomping rhythm section. Check this out and let me know what you think.
