Mang, this is all that I've been listening to lately, all the ghettotech and ghetto house stuff that has come out of Detroit and Chicago respectively. Not sure what brought it back to #1 status right now, but to be honest, it's never that far from top status. There's just something about that pounding, heavy sound with the filthy lyrics, oftentimes from a clipped, robotic voice. How can you not like this stuff? Do you not smile in life? I worry about you if you do not download these tracks and play them for hours straight, I really do.

DJ Funk is a legend. It's as simple as that, the man most responsible for developing the Chicago ghetto house sound in the 1990s.
