James Brown invented funk music, but what is it about James Brown’s music that makes it sound so funky?

James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, created the DNA for funk. Hosts LA Buckner and Nahre Sol explore how he created funk music, as well as how Brown’s music influenced hip hop. They break down the sound of the genre, and create their own funky original song in the process.
