Too Funky
"Too Funky" is a song written and performed by English singer and songwriter George Michael and released by Columbia Records in the United States and Epic Records elsewhere in 1992. The song was Michael's final single for his recording contract with Sony Music before he started legal action to extricate himself from it. "Too Funky" had been initially earmarked for a follow-up to the album '' Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1'' but Michael shelved the idea, instead donating it, along with two other songs, to the project '' Red Hot + Dance'', which raised money for AIDS awareness. Michael subsequently donated the royalties to the same cause. The song never appeared on any of Michael's studio albums, although later it was included on his solo collection '' Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael'' and in the 2017 reissue of ''Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1'', which also included the two other songs from ''Red Hot + Dance'' and its B-side "Crazyman Dance", all of which we ...

Jet Set Radio
(originally released in North America as ''Jet Grind Radio'') is a 2000 action game developed by Smilebit and published by Sega for the Dreamcast. The player controls a member of a youth gang, the GGs, as they use inline skates to traverse Tokyo, spraying graffiti, challenging rival gangs, and evading authorities. Development was headed by director Masayoshi Kikuchi, with art by Ryuta Ueda. The influence was drawn from late 1990s Japanese popular culture such as the rhythm game ''PaRappa the Rapper'', and the anti-establishment themes in the film ''Fight Club''. The environments were based on Tokyo shopping districts in Shibuya and Shinjuku, with graffiti designed by artists including Eric Haze. It was the first game to use a cel-shaded art style, developed in response to the team's disappointment towards the then-late 1990s library of Sega games overly consisting primarily of fantasy and sci-fi genre games. ''Jet Set Radio'' received acclaim and is considered one of the b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
