Can You Dig It?

Can You Dig It? is a great compilation album put out by Soul Jazz Records, featuring fantastic artists such as Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, The Impressions, and a lot more. 34 tracks are crammed on to two discs, and they all focus on “The Music and Politics of Black Action Films 1968-75.” Needless to say, this is the most badass compilation you’ll ever pick up. Along with the music you’ll also get a super informative, super hip 100 page book, teaching you all there is to know about black action films during the 70s. A great thing about the compilation is its diversity. You get the funkiest songs of all time with Curtis Mayfield’s “Pusherman” and James Brown’s “Make It Good To Yourself”, but then you also get orchestral arrangements put together by dudes like Quincy Jones and JJ Johnson. Music comes from movies like Shaft, Cleopatra Jones, Superfly, Foxy Brown, and every other black action movie from the 70s. If you don’t at least check this out, you just don’t like to have fun. Download a couple of my favorite tracks below, and get ready to get yr funk on.
