Pass The Popcorn: Nelson George x Arthur Baker Present 'Finding The Funk'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Writer/filmmaker Nelson George and legendary record producer Arthur Baker have teamed up to search for the "past, present and future of funk music" in their upcoming documentary, Finding The Funk. From James Brown to George Clinton to Dam-Funk to D'Angelo, these guys are not letting anything funky slip through their fingers. Before they can go into post-production they'll need some of your support, though, so donate through their kickstarter campaign and check some of the cool stuff you'll get in return. Finding The Funk brings together some of the baddest names in funk all the way up to modern funk's most notable performers through exclusive concert footage, interviews, and jam sessions. VH1 plans on picking up the completed documentary next spring, with our very own ?uestlove as host, so don't miss this opportunity to do your part and help Find the Funk.
