Indeed, much research went into the construction of this book, but one cannot dismiss the fact that this book was written by a fanatic of the Funk. At times the book is afrocentric and self-indulgent, however Vincent has a sincere adoration for the genre and has given the world a necessary reference. Funk is undefinable in how it effects the soul, still credit is due to the spirit and execution of this artform/way of life.

"you could replace the word "funk" with "the Force" and it could be a book about Star Wars. The Suggested Listening section is a crucial component of this book."
