Dem Franchize Boyz feat. Bun B vs. Audible Landscapes - Ridin' Rims (Bonez McCoy Remix)



Found this dope instrumental track by Audible Landscapes called "The Left Hand Of Darkness" that reminded me of an old school H-Tine slab track, so I had to work a remix around it.  Consider it a leak from Trill Ass Car Mix IX.  Took the clean acapella for "Ridin' Rims" by Dem Franchize Boyz and doctored it up to make it (mostly) dirty, then added the Bun B verse from T.I.'s "Front Back" for good measure. Video and audio streams below, as well as a link to the 12" single, which includes the instrumental and acapella tracks.

And just exactly what is a "funk box"?

Back in 1982, most parties took place inside vestibules known only as "funk boxes." Recently, controversy has arisen revolving around precisely what a funk box actually was, though we have very little record of these boxes of funk. Photography was not allowed at funk box parties, so there is hardly any documented evidence. Some have theorized that a funk box was nothing more than a particularly ripe port-a-potty. Others have postulated that Rick James was buried in the last known funk box. Further speculation would have us believe that a funk box was nothing more than a box full of funk. We may never know the truth behind this mystery, but the closest thing we have to go on is the classic 1982 single by The Masterdon Committee, "Funk Box Party, Part 1":



Not coincidentally, Master P used the chorus from Funk Box Party on his hit 1997 single, "Make 'Em Say Ugh", which leads me to believe that whatever is inside of a funk box is disgusting enough to cause anyone to say "ugh".
