Tall Black Guy - "Funky Drummers In A Space Suit" (Slap and Blap Edit)

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

Tall Black Guy drops his latest rework of a James Brown classic with "Funky Drummers In A Space Suit" (Slap and Blap Edit) - a flip of "Funky Drummer." Tapping one of the most famous breaks in hip-hop, Tall Black Guy has crafted an impressive take on the original that truly takes it someplace else entirely. This joint follows his last stab at a James Brown track with “The Big Payback” (Tall Black Guy BIGBack Slap-Up Re-Edit I) - a remix that was much more of a traditional approach to the Godfather of Soul's sound than this joint, though both are dense with originality from start to finish. Tall Black Guy's touch is evident on this track. "Funky Drummers In A Space Suit" combines with Tall Black Guy's take on "The Big Payback" to offer enough evidence to assume or at least hope that there is more where this came from.
