"The A.Dd+ story begins in 2000 when Memphis-born Paris moved into the same North Dallas apartment complex as Slim. After years of rhyming together, the pair decided to make their partnership official in 2007, dubbing themselves A.Dd+ (Spoken "Aye-dee-dee," with the plus sign silent) after attention deficit disorder, the most ubiquitous of youth behavioral problems. "A.Dd+ is whatever you want it to be," explains Slim, who is also known as "D.D." "It has many meanings like A Dynamic Duo, Analog and Digital. The plus sign symbolizes us being beyond what others are on, always adding to the craft never subtracting. It's all about imagination and creativity."
In 2008, Paris and Slim met manager/then sound engineer Rosalinda Ruiz and, after a year holed up in her studio, they emerged with their debut mixtape, Power of the Tongue. While the 2009 release earned them local acclaim and a "Best Rap Act" nomination from the Dallas Observer, it just as importantly led to their partnership with producer Picnic Tyme (of Erykah Badu's Cannabinoids crew), who has become the group's sonic sensei and unofficial third member. "He felt our creativity and really liked the setup of our first mixtape, and that was enough to get him interested in helping us develop a better sound for ourselves," Paris explains.
Paris and Slim are at the center of a vibrant clique of Dallas MCs striving to do for their region what the Dungeon Family once did for Atlanta. "Basically, everybody we roll with are lyricists," Paris says. "Everybody we roll with is more creative than what is seen on a national scale from Dallas artists."
Coming off of the biggest performance of their career, opening for the Wu-Tang Clan at Dallas' Granada Theater, A.Dd+ dropped When Pigs Fly in March of this year. Produced entirely by Picnic Tyme, the LP takes listeners on a ride through the streets of Dallas and a journey through Paris and Slim's own offbeat imagination."

1st track from their 1970 self entitled debut "Funkadelic"
My first introduction to what would later become a never ending trip to the world of Funk, Soul, Jazz and R&B. I was hooked from the get go, and not that I regret it, there was no turning back.
"Mommy, Whats a Funkadelic?" Call it what you want, the song strikes straight to the heart of rhythm & blues yet approaching it from an angle so absurd that the listener is left nothing but to wonder where all of that funk is coming from.
Enjoy.
Eddie Hazel, the primary creative force behind the ingenuity of Funkadelic. Nuff said.
11th track from their 1992 released album "Don't Sweat the Technique"
Rapper Rakim has long been considered a preeminent talent in a genre whose leaders are often quickly replaced. Billed as a hardcore East Coast rapper because of his penchant for blunt imagery, he has nonetheless avoided profanity and held to an unfaltering message that deplored violence and praised God and peace. In some respects a throwback to the 1960s, this emcee and lyricist has offered listeners a markedly updated twist on the peace-and-love philosophy of that era. Employing the accelerated beat of turn-of-the-century rap and hip-hop, he remained immensely popular among his peers even as other early rap artists fell into obscurity. After coming to fame as the emcee of the Eric B. & Rakim duo, he emerged as a solo artist in the mid-1990s. Rakim signed with Aftermath Records early in 2002 before breaking out independently in 2003.
Born William Michael Griffin Jr., on January 28, 1968 in Wyandanch, Long Island, New York, Rakim was the product of a predominantly black community on Long Island. His father, William Griffin Sr., was a sensitive and soft-spoken man whose family was artistically inclined. Rakim's mother sang jazz and opera; his brothers played an assortment of musical instruments. By the time he converted to Islam at age 16, he had proved to be gifted not only as an artist but also as an athlete, and he aspired to a career in professional football. During his early forays as a hip-hop entertainer, the then 17-year-old Rakim called himself Kid Wizard; he later adopted the name Rakim, in honor of the ancient sun god Ra and the ancient Egyptian kingdom of Kim.
It was disc jockey Eric Barrier of radio station WBLS who first recognized Rakim's talent while seeking an MC to complement his experiments with sampling in 1985. Barrier took Rakim as a protégé, and the two performed as a duo, with Barrier topping the marquee. Originally billed as Eric featuring Rakim, they recorded a single track, "Eric B. Is President," as a demo in 1986. Zakia Records, an independent Harlem-based label, released this demo track as a two-sided single, paired with "My Melody," that same year. In the lyrics of this early song, which became a summertime street hit, Rakim glorified the influence and power of professional MCs such as himself. He pondered the microphone, the tool of his trade, describing its lure: "Biting me fighting me inviting me to rhyme/I can't hold it back I'm looking for the line ... no mistakes allowed/Cuz to me, MC means move the crowd."
By now called Eric B. & Rakim, and hoping to capitalize on the success of their debut single, the Queens-based pair accepted a contract with the 4th & Broadway label and issued two singles, "I Ain't No Joke" and "I Know You Got Soul." Both were successful. The 1987 debut album of Eric B. and Rakim—recorded with hip-hop colleagues Sefton the Terminator, Chad Jackson, and others—found a spot in the R&B top 10. This early success led to a contract with MCA's UNI label and solidified Rakim's reputation for delivering songs with provocative lyrics, devoid of profanity.
In the words of the album's warning-filled title song, "Paid in Full," Rakim told listeners that "I used to be a stick-up kid ... ain't nuthin' funny ... But now I learned to earn cos ... then maybe I'll stay alive." The album was certified gold for sales of 500,000 copies on December 4, 1987, and less than one year later, on September 27, 1988, a second album, Follow the Leader, earned gold certification after reaching the top 10 as well. Still partnered with Barrier, Rakim gained crossover legitimacy in 1989 when the duo joined Jody Watley on a Top 10 pop single called "Friends." He and Barrier meanwhile pursued their signature style, which rested on righteous-minded rhymes and inventive remixes. Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em was released in 1990 and was certified gold that same year.
In an unfortunate footnote to its fame, Paid in Full generated a web of copyright infringement lawsuits from James Brown and Bobby Byrd, with each claiming damages resulting from the use of the recordings Barrier had sampled in the popular remixes contained on the album. Indeed, much of Barrier's reputation and popularity rested on his talent for the remix, and some critics contended that the Eric B. & Rakim mixes were superior overall to the recordings they were taken from, including those by Brown and Byrd. Legal disputes and controversy notwithstanding, Paid in Full was certified a platinum million-seller on July 11, 1995.
Still together as an act, Rakim and Barrier remained with MCA until a rift in 1989 led ultimately to the dissolution of the duo in the early 1990s. In 1992 MCA released a final recorded collaboration by the two, called Don't Sweat the Technique.

Jason D. Harrow[1] (born May 12, 1976), better known by his stage name Kardinal Offishall is a Canadian rapper (Toronto) and record producer. He is often credited as Canada's "hip-hop ambassador", and is best known for his distinctive reggae and dancehall-influenced style of hip-hop.
Harrow was born in Scarborough, Ontario in Toronto's east end, and raised by Jamaican immigrant parents. He later settled in the Oakwood-Vaughan neighbourhood of York, Ontario, in Toronto's west end. He started rapping at the age of eight and was winning competitions by the time he was 12. Also at the age of 12, he performed live and on stage for the first time, with Nelson Mandela in attendance during Mandela's first visit to Toronto. By 1993, he decided to change his alias "KoolAid", and went by the moniker "Kardinal Offishall" after being inspired by the great 17th century French politician Cardinal Richelieu.
Kardinal was signed to a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music Canada at the age of 20. In 1996, he released his first single "Naughty Dread", which was featured on the Rap Essentials Volume One compilation and earned him a Juno Award nomination for Best Rap Recording. In 1997, Kardinal released his debut album Eye & I on Capitol Hill Music. The only single from the album, "On Wit Da Show", had considerable video play on MuchMusic. In 1998, he was featured on the Juno-winning single "Northern Touch" with the Rascalz, Choclair, Checkmate and Thrust.
In 2000, Kardinal signed with MCA Records. He released the album Quest for Fire: Firestarter, Vol. 1 in 2001, which spawned the hits "BaKardi Slang" and "Ol' Time Killin'". After MCA folded in 2003, Kardinal's highly anticipated follow up album Firestarter Vol. 2: F Word Theory was shelved along with the single/video for "Belly Dancer" featuring Pharrell, and Kardinal eventually found himself without a label. Had the album been released, there would have been production from Timbaland and The Neptunes, among others. He released an independent mixtape titled Kill Bloodclott Bill in 2004 with his production company, The Black Jays, and he also released his second major-label album titled Fire and Glory on November 15, 2005, through Virgin Records in Canada only. Hits on Fire and Glory include "Everyday (Rudebwoy)" and "Heads Up". Also in 2000, Kardinal Offishall teamed up with Maestro Fresh Wes for the hit "Bustin Loose" featured on Maestro's album Ever Since.
In 2007, Akon signed Kardinal Offishall to his label Konvict Muzik and Kon Live Distribution. Kardinal Offishall released an album under the album Not 4 Sale. It spawned the hit single "Dangerous", which peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Make no mistake, you dont have to be into producing to appreciate its efforts but it will definitely help. While still being largely unrecognized for what its worth and most likely argued by some "Good To Your Earhole" (including Michael Hamptons first appearance behind Eddie Hazel) has to be one of the most significant track ever produced or recorded by Funkadelic. Much like Red Hot Mama but with a much more laidback and funky attitude, demanding more attention from the listener, "Good To Your Earhole" accomplishes to overcome the repellent bearings of rock and funk by demonstrating a perfect mix of ingredients while serving them with a straightforward discipline satisfying even the most mainstream of listeners. The subtle interplay of downbeat percussions, manifesting vocals, grooviest of guitars and turbulent basslines merged with Worrels pinpoint precision like keyboards are all mounted into a complete, proportionate and well-balanced package. So much so that seldom is progressive and pop heard in the same context so comfortably together. Almost as complementing each other, the record manages to represent rock and funk in their essential form while keeping both elements explicitly present.
"Good To Your Earhole" is Funkadelics exemplary testimony; the impeccable fusion of funk and rock experimented by many, yet mastered by only few.
