Ego Trip & Underground Railroad Radio Pay Tribute To James Brown In 2006

 


Insightful thoughts from journalists Chairman Mao, Eliottt Wilson and Sacha Jenkins of egotrip as they lend a piece of their mind in '06. During the passing of James Brown, the crew share their setiments on the late music legend. They also engage in facts and opinions about Hip Hop, race and class in discussion with the Underground Railroad show. Each egotrip member is quite funny, which makes for an entertaining discussion about important aspects of American society. 


The talk occurs at the 55:57 mark, in-between great music spun as always by DJ 3-D who lays a JB tribute set after the egotrip interview. I can't upload this show to any streaming service due to copyright reasons, so if you'd like to listen download the mp3 here.

If you'd like to add some style and nostalgia to your home, FinnBox shows you what time it is with the James Brown vinyl clock.
