Funkadelic - Hardcore Funk Jam '1994

Tracks list

 Since there arent many Funkadelic best-ofs widely available, and since there
are even less that live up to their function, this single-disc best-of may have
to suffice. Yet Hardcore Funk Jam isnt an ideal collection by any means. In
fact, youd be better off purchasing One Nation Under a Groove and going one LP
after another from there. First of all, this album only culls its selections
from Funkadelics four latter-day Warner albums. And even worse, it manages to
somehow skip over (Not Just) Knee Deep, one of the P-funk collectives undeniable
best songs ever, if not the best. There are a few other songs such as Electric
Spanking of War Babies, Comin Round the Mountain, Cholly, and the live versions
of Cosmic Slop and Maggot Brain that are also noticeably absent. Any of these
songs would be better choices than questionable inclusions such as Uncle Jam and
Electro Cuties, two of Funkadelics more awkward moments. Still, from beginning
to end, Hardcore Funk Jam is just that, funky and filled with great jams. There
are better options out there though, such as the single-disc Best of Funkadelic
(1976-1981), the double-disc The Very Best of Funkadelic, or the Funk Gets
Stronger collections. But again, an even better idea is to just head straight
for One Nation Under a Groove -- it wont disappoint you. That way youll be
positioned to slowly make your way through their better albums one after another
rather than even messing with these inadequate best-ofs.
