2011, From the opening ,,Hip Hop @ Funk U" to the closing ,,The Munchies 2011", Bootsy Collins' THE FUNK CAPITOL OF THE WORLD is a percolating playground of soul-deep rhythms and layered melodies punctuated by lyrics that range from meditations on the nature of truth to the joys of fun-loving hipness to spiritual transcendence. And while Bootsy's bass is the album's heartbeat, it's his voice that brims with giddy delight, goosing up the blissed-out vibe. As much as THE FUNK CAPITOL OF THE WORLD stays sonically in Partytown, many of its songs do reveal higher ambitions.
