posting a message on the ONE NATION BOARD ROOM about CHILDREN OF PRODUCTION. i just returned from p-funk shows in COLUMBUS & CINCINNATTI and experienced the east coast version of CHILDREN OF PRODUCTION the first time.

the thread generated numerous responses:

i saw JOI & AMP & them as CHILDREN OF PRODUCTION and i identified with them and felt it as they played FUNK!!!
 
home on the computer doing TRULIO DISGRACIAS video with a friend on the phone...
 
a removed party, with limited experience of JOI which came via me, who knows absolutely nothing of the CHILDREN OF PRODUCTION thread or group just happens to be channel surfing and come across, recognize, identify and then react to a song by the very artist i had called out earlier. an artist directly responsible for the west coast version of the named group and thread CHILDREN OF PRODUCTION.

talkin on the phone to new mexico she freaks out and goes thats that JOI girl's song on the tv and i was like what?

 

chance? mere coincidence? if i was religious i could say that was god and he sent me a message that validates my claim or at least indicates im heading in the direction he wants me to travel.

i don't believe in god but i do believe in FUNK.

coincidence? there is a FUNKADELIC song that says there are none.

 

this is how my universe works

    How does this help when playing music? 

 

    cause you play music from the inside...

    FUNK to me is an expression of whats inside a person.


    if you got that FUNK inside of you, that attitude or arrogance
    or whatever, everything you do in life will have that
    on it not just the music you make...
     


    FUNK is much much much more than music.

     


    a song should be a personal emotional expression or story.
    human emotion comes out in real natural song-

    when an artist recreates a song, he is attempting
    to recreate that emotional event. at least thats what
    i think should be happening. most of the time now
    though musicians are imitating a person having a real
    emotional event. song should show true emotion and that
    comes from the inside of a person and whats on the
    inside of a person is determined by the experience
    and dispostion of that person




    real natural human emotion is FUNK


    re-creating and imitating music note for note without the emotion is not





    oooga booga is real

 

    Let's say you're truly aspire to be a professional musician

    At what point in your education/practice does this ooga booga assert itself?

    There's a lot to be said in recognition of an innate ability to create music, but there's also no mistaking the basic fundamentals of learning to play in key, proper fingering on your instrument, recognizing a key signature, knowing your scales and other technical details that might be beyond (or before ooga booga).

     

 

    FUNK is in everything i do...

    it is subconscious, instinctive or whatever...

     

    its inherent, it would be the style i took if i learned to play.
    its in the way i cook my food, how i drive, how i live-
    how i talk, how i walk...
    its how i would knock on the door of the person giving
    me lessons, its how i would come to take lessons high
    as hell and still play "better" than everybody else
    without even really trying...


    this is FUNK. how does this tie into "ooga booga?"


    oooga booga may be a special feature that people with
    FUNK have. like a special gift...




    a special power that you attain when you reach the
    higher levels of FUNKATIVITY.

     

    its an inner confidence or understanding or perception
    where a human can successfully seperate themselves from hysteria
    and or mass social thinking and then develop a
    really deep personal understanding of everything.

    seperate enough to develop a unique understanding of
    the universe and operate confidently within this.
    this would be seen as a "cool" person.




    oooga booga may be a special gift a person can attain
    when they reach certain levels of confidence and understanding
    that allows them to be open to experience and operate
    in areas that we still call "mystical" cause we
    havent scienced them yet
