Yikes that's some list of credits including Jacko's big 3. Explains why he inserts a bit of Thriller in his solo in that clip

Funky as!

Slightly raunchy vid, but unusually for rap, there's a guitar solo!

Loving that ☝️

An all time fave of mine is this from the Junior Boy's Own label, which was formed by several big time dance music producers back in the 90s including Andrew Weatherall. The biggest acts were Underworld and The Chemical Brothers. The short lived Bocca Juniors were actually Weatherall, Terry Farley, Pete Heller and Hugo Nicholson. If you like the production on Primal Scream's Screamadelica, you might like this if you've never heard it before

Bass line on this is lush!

Ay caramba dunno how I've never come across him before but my ex missus today gave me the heads up re Little Beaver, who was doing his thing in the 70s. Any funk/soul fans here know of him? Couple of tunes to wet your whistle

Early 1979 rap, featuring the Sugarhill house band including Doug Wimbish on bass...

 I got that album when it first came out and to this day, it's still one of my all time favourite albums. The playing, groove and arrangements on it are blinding.
