Led by brothers Roger and Larry Troutman, Ohio funk band Zapp’s is perhaps better known to the next generation for how extensively they were sampled during the golden age of hip-hop, second only behind the Godfather of Soul himself- Brown being among the funk pioneers to receive a shout out on this tribute to the genre.

Tragically, in complete contrast to the songs title, apparently “it” did really matter as the two brothers perished in a gruesome murder/ suicide over a business dispute years later.
