FineTune Friday: John Shaft! by Hullion
If John Shaft listened to FineTune, what kind of playlist would he put together? Being a complicated man, John Shaft would need music for several activities like car chases, shoot outs, hassling hustlers, risking his neck for his brother man, and of course, being a sex machine to all the chicks. He would need something funky to properly theme these activities, but his picks would probably lean towards the soul side of the funk spectrum. For rap fans, the list contains a large number of tracks that have been sampled in rap and hip hop over the years, some of which you might never have heard in their original form. They say this Shaft playlist is a bad mutha... Shut yo' mouth!
