R.I.P. Robert Michael Reed, founder of Trouble Funk

News April 14th, 2008

Another big influence on my youth, a DC ambassador to the world, a go-go grandfather, and a contributor to numerous hip-hop jams.

Just caught the news from Upset the Setup via City Paper.

I was just cranking this this morning too.

Actually, I play it pretty regularly. Boosts my spirits.

I’m sorry, I had to do it again. It just makes me too happy.

It looks like this vid made its way to YouTube from the U.K. and I’ve heard that Trouble Funk was big over there. I’m still trying to track down that BBC go-go documentary.

(in case you were ever wondering about Special Ed’s “Monster Jam”)
