A powerful Single released on Tommy Boy records in 1983, this track cites many influential leaders as “renegades of funk” while establishing funk as a cultural music genre that has spawned Hip Hop – another culture driven genre. The poignant lyrics also make the point that everyday people can become great leaders. This track features an interpolation of the Temptations' “Message to a Blackman”
