Rick James (born James Ambrose Johnson, Jr.; February 1, 1948 – August 6, 2004) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer, best known for being the major popularizer of funk music in the late 1970s and early 1980s thanks to million-selling hits such as "You and I" (1978), "Give It to Me Baby" (1981) and "Super Freak" (1981), the latter song crossing him over to pop audiences and selling over three million copies, later contributing to the success of rapper MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" (1990), which James sued to be credited for. James won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song with Hammer for the song, his only Grammy win. more »

Fire up this funk and let's have a toke

Bustin' out
L Seven just a little too damn straight
Bustin' out
Now that we're free to communicate
And we're all a little stoned and we freak when we're at home
And for me, I'm only free when I'm bustin' out (One more time) (k, Rick)
That we're all a little stoned and we'll freak when we're at home
And for me, I only freak when I'm bustin' out (So take that)
