Funkamentals Part 2

Loren (bluage) wrote some rap lyrics for this song. I asked him if he wanted to sing them I would include them. He sang them so here is Funkamentals Part 2.

Fun. Not your "typical" rap bed. Dig that bass! A Mario theme song!

Very cool Mario. I think there was a lot fun happening during the creation of this song. Lot the groove. Well done

Loved it!

So cool, Loren. What a wonderful tribute. You speak for us all. "A Mario theme song!" <--that's cool, too, Floyd.

Yeah! Adding the rap to that super cool bed really worked well, excellent collaboration!

Well done Mario and Loren.

FunQuirk I think??

I don't know why but..........
As I listen I have an image of an old fashioned piano roll creating music from little slot in the paper.

Weirdly interesting.

Stefan...

I was clowning around when I recorded that, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

'MarioD'...

I didn't expect a collaboration would result from this, but I'm tickled to death that the rap entertained you smile !!!

What a fun alternate version! The vocals go so well with the track. Sounds like it was meant to be. Collabs are so fun. Thanks for sharing!

This is very good. Hints of "Shaft". I like this a lot. Great bass. Great to hear Loren again too! Cool lyrics.

A jazz/blues man meets a new age/funk man ... who would've thunk?

And the result is a most cool fusion tune.

Cool AND classy AND highly entertaining.

The arrangement is most creative and gives both of you an opportunity to shine ... and, man, did ya'll ever take advantage of that opp.

Most enjoyable!

J&B

Dear Ms. Janice & Bud...

The lyrics happened quite spontaneously because of the bangin' funk that 'MarioD' put into his composition. Instant inspiration -- just one of 'those' things.

Thanx everyone for listening and commenting on our collaboration. It was a pleasure working with Loren.

Hi Mario and Loren,

Mario, finally you had vocals in your songs! And not just vocals, but a real rapper, called Loren.
Your funky part 2 is well received here in the Netherlands. Very nice indeed!
I wonder what part three will do. Maybe Janice with high screams??

In case you wonder what i think of your song (after my intro); I enjoyed part two too, Mario,

Hans
