Funky Punk: 'I'm Rick James'new
Much of Rick James' studio output isn't particularly memorable. Yet as a performer he's wholly original, making his new collection of live performances and videos, I'm Rick James: The Definitive DVD, more essential than his actual albums.

New Angels in Rock Heavennew

Rick James RIP, Bitch: DJs Pay Homage to the Funky Onenew
Rick James was a junkie who banged black (and white) models, as did the Rolling Stones. What's more, he was utterly unrepentant about it all from glorious beginning to sorry downfall to pitiful end.
