1988 album from James Brown produced by Full Force, ‘I’m Real’ is truly an album of its time – unsurprisingly heavy on the hip-hop influence in the programming, ‘Static’ even samples his own ‘Funky Drummer’ beat with the Godfather’s rapped vocals all over the show while Maceo Parker joins James on the party heavy funk of ‘She Looks All Types ‘A Good’ and the cut and sampled ‘Can’t Git Enuf’. Definitely late 80s but with enough old skool to please JB devotees. Double CD includes ten bonus versions. (JS)
