By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 11 February 2009
The legend that is Bootsy Collins has signed a long-term administration deal with EMI Music Publishing which will cover the singer, songwriter and funk man’s various songwriting ventures, which include a number of R&B hits.
Confirming the deal, Collins told reporters: “It’s time, 2009, time to go back to the strong brew, that’s one of a kind, the only music publishing institution that’s as strong as moonshine, and smooth like vintage wine. If this is what it takes then I have committed the crime, yeah I signed, and we gone blow the music world’s funkin’ mind”.
“All it took was Big Jon at EMI [that’ll be EMI Pubs West Coast Creative President Big Jon Platt], to say we want the funk, because we ain’t shy, we ain’t fakin and we ain’t ashamed. This is our chance to dance and raise the bar for the rest of these muthas that’s fakin’ in the game. I am so glad and happy EMI chose me, we got a black President and now you got the Pee”.
