Although I enjoy funkiness, I'm not someone that can listen to an album of non-stop funk, the thing that normally gets me is the tiresome lyrics - shouts of "funky" and "chicken" become quite limited after a while - the person compiling this album (Dj Shadow I believe) has done a good job as instead of just playing funk, he's sought out tracks from r&b, soul and even a bit of blues with funkiness in them than all out funk.
From the beginning this album is an upbeat and energetic album ideal for playing when say cleaning the house or something like that - hopefully encouraging you to do stuff rather than just dance though!
One of the best tracks has to be Rock Steady by Aretha Franklin and this is the top-end of the scale of the album for me - the lower being "Getting in the Corners" by the TSU Tornadoes, simple music witha bit of funkyness to it and the words "C'mon y'all" and "Break it Down", a poor man's James Brown with dire lyrical content! There are a few repetitive tracks in there like this and that's the only reason I refrain from giving this compilation a 5/5.
