Ok, here it is. FIRST POST!!!!!
Obviously, we gotta start out things right... or should I say Wright!?!?!?!?!
Thats right people, Bernard Wright!
There's some really nice slappy funky bass all over his album, Nard.
Released in 1981 on GRP Records 'Nard features the glorious hit, "Haboglabotribin'"
5 seconds into the song there is the fattest, healthiest dose of slap EVER!!
It's a great POP! with a dramatic bend in it to bring in the whole band. Then, throughout the verse, there are perfect little accents added of fantastic bop's and gap's and funky funkiness.
And who could forget the funky slap figure to bring in the bridge!! Right at 1:41, my life changed forEVER...

Ayo new friends and foes - just want to add that bassist Marcus Miller went to Queens college and met Sir Nard in the Q-tip which is where they get those city funk lines from - listening to the subway yall!
Have fun with this one!
