about

On May 3, 2014 what would have been his 87th birthday, we flirted with the idea that would put into motion a series of events that would in some fashion boggle the minds and spirit of hip hop lovers around the globe. Even though the fabric of these titles are original The Big Payback emphasizes the premise that these are some of the greatest rap records to sample James Brown or James Brown productions, the competitive rankings were honestly less important however presenting something that celebrated the range of James’ influence on hip-hop over different eras.

Frankly, there is no way to reduce the importance of James Brown’s music to hip-hop to 25 examples because without James Brown there is no hip-hop (not to mention any other form of modern club or dance related music). And that applies whether you’re talking hip-hop constructed via samples, or played by keyboard or band, or built from (turntable) scratch. That said, welcome to The Big Payback. Feel free to suggest your favorites or hit the comments section with miscellaneous feedback/complaints. @the_bigpayback But just be sure while you’re at it to pay homage to the Godfather of Soul – always and forever the star of the show.
