Born out of a love for an art form that paved the foundation for three decades of popular music, The Big Ol’ Nasty Getdown is a star-studded tribute to the history of American Funk and authentically touches on almost every style of music. The Getdown was created by John Heintz (Bass/Producer/Founder), Frank Mapstone (Keys/Producer/Musical Director) John-Paul Miller (multi instrumentalist/producer), & Derrick Johnson (multi instrumentalist). Getdown saw its earliest incarnation more than four years ago at a New Orleans gathering that would soon go down in history. What began as an all-star meeting of the minds in the Crescent City quickly gave rise to a collective of musicians working tirelessly to remind the music industry of why funk was such an important part of the American cultural evolution.
Drawing from a reserve of more than one hundred musicians, The Big Ol’ Nasty Getdown has created an avenue for some of the genre’s most influential figures to share the stage with its future stars. Showcasing recorded and live appearances from many of funk’s luminaries and legends – notably George Clinton, Norwood Fisher,Belita Woods, Sidney Barnes, Gift of Gab, Kendra Foster, Patryce “Choc’let” Banks as well as grammy winning artists Kofi Burbridge and Agent 23 Skidoo  – The Big Ol’ Nasty Getdown is quickly generating an international reputation for producing some of the heaviest grooves heard in years.
Those interested in experiencing The Getdown’s Earth-shaking pocket need look no further than their up coming release Volume 1. Drawing upon the aforementioned heavyweights as well as members of Galactic, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Dumpstaphunk, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band and many more, the gang has assembled eleven unforgettable tracks over a number of sessions that took them all across the country. The result is a generous hour-long listen that has earned the praise of funk fans the world over.
The collective has received no shortage of critical attention either, their single, “College Funk” recently pulled down Funk/Groove Song of the year at the 2011 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.
After making such a huge splash in such a short time, it should come as no surprise that the Big Ol’ Nasty Getdown is already hard at work on the next step of their collective journey. Discussions for some dates both on US soil as well as abroad are underway for 2012. There are also rumors that a line-up for Volume 2 is starting to come together and will likely add another forty musicians from roughly thirty major bands to the already massive roster.

Lyrics: 

Verse: 1

Checkin your plan, Over your shoulders
body snatchin’, artist Relater.   
stealin’ your rhyme, But never the reason. 
A&R predator 

I got my masters, you had a pass
Well you’z a drop out, I stayed in class
I did my homework, I walked up every step.
You peeked and cheated, And You faked some reps.
You got the privilege, and the backers plastic 
But You ain't got the method, to make the magic.
now sign a nice young tender, and then you send one
on a copycat image theft mission. 
 
You're over qualified for the job   
You think too much for the common yog.
We need to dilute you and thin a bit.
 and not to smart please no stimulants.
 …..it will be spot on, for the next big hit. 
 ………………..It will be a steal

Break

Verse:2
 
Now that we caught the little hooker on tape
Back to the office and let's begin the rape.
Now that you’ve captured the genius on chip
duplicate this and we can make a grip.

We’ll teach you how to dance 
We tell you What to say
Well dumb it down so any Duffus dog diggy cat Bird can relate.
A silly face a booty twerk, and a head of Knapps 
A glitter lipstick hairdo, swooping down your back now
Now blow a kiss now swing it back around, now drop to your knee  
Now sing it like the one we stole it from, could you please.
It dont matter if you aint got, What it takes.
We got the paper and the power to make it great.
