Where is the life we have lost in living?

The funk is basically freedom. The funk is not a certain sound or a certain way you dress or a certain look. Something can sound fun-ky or look fun-ky, but my opinion of the funk is a certain freedom that started way back in Africa. But we don’t want to make it no big racial issue or no shit like that...

...I guess we’re talking about an individual freedom. Finding that gateway that opens you up, that frees you up mentally so you won’t be stuck in a… a… I don’t want to say a corporate mindstate, but more like a trained mindstate. Like, you grew up a certain way. You’re used to doing something a certain way: you’re used to hearing the music a certain way, you’re used to moving, dressing, walking, talking a certain way. But when you’re trying to tap into something new, I know doing the same thing ain’t gonna get it.
