For Fans Of

The Payback is a 1973 double album by James Brown, originally scheduled to soundtrack the blaxploitation film Hell Up in Harlem. Now regarded as a landmark funk album and a high point of Brown's career, its revenge-themed title track was a #1 R&B hit and became one of the most-sampled songs in music. Musically it rides cyclic grooves and extended jamming, with softer soul-based departures on tracks like "Doing the Best I Can."
