Last September, Kendrick Lamar hopped onto Funkadelic’s “Aint That Funkin’ Kinda Hard On You” for a remix to a track from their 2014 LP, First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate.
The original remix was a sped up, funktastic time, but now they slow it down (with Lamar’s same verse), and Ice Cube jumps on the chill, funky song. This song boasts major west-coast swag thanks to the two Cali rappers over what sounds like a Dr. Dre’s classic funk sampling, which formed the classic west coast rap sound of the early 90s.
Earlier this month, Ice Cube and his look-alike son O’Shea Jackson Jr. presented Kendrick with the Grammy for Best Rap Album.
