Narrator:
After a generation of struggle
changed the face of our nation,
African Americans
entered the '70s
with new found hope.
- I am...
- I am...
- somebody!
- "somebody!"
Vibrant leaders emerged
and black culture reached
its high point,
influencing all facets
of American life.
## Say it louder... ##
Audience:
## "I'm black and I'm proud" ##
Let me hear you-
## Say it louder... ##
But progress slowed
in the decades that followed.
Black culture began to lose
its distinctive flavor.
And as the millennium
drew to a close,
disaster struck.
These seemingly random events
were in fact orchestrated
by The Man,
a villain obsessed
with turning back the clock
on race relations.
Just when it seemed
the funky spirit
of the '7 Os
would be lost forever,
a new hero emerged.
His name, Undercover Brother.

## You've got a reaI type
of thang going down ##
## Getting down ##
## There's a whole lot
of rhythm going round ##
## Whoa! We want the funk ##
## Give up the funk
Ah, we need the funk... ##
Give it to me.
Need it, got to have it.
- ## We need the funk ##
- We need the funk.
- ## "Gotta have the funk" ##
- Say!
## La-la-la-ya-ya ##
## Do-do-do-do-do... ##
## "Turn this mother out... " ##
It ain't no thang.
Yeah.
A bird gonna shit
on my windshield?!
Not on my Cadillac!
I'm gonna chop your feathers
off and put you in Chinatown!
They gonna make
Peking Pigeon out of you!
Damn!
Unbeknownst
to Undercover Brother,
there was a secret organization
dedicated to truth,
justice,
and the Afro-American way.
They had never crossed paths
until now.
Headquarters, come in.
Good work, Sistah GirI.
Data from the mainframe
ready to commence.
- She's transmitting! Are we up and ready?
- Yes, sir.
And I've hacked into
the bank security system.
Computer:
You've got soul.
- We're in.
- "Aha!"
The computer!
Another idea stolen from the black man.
Did you all know that
George Washington Carver
made the first computer
out of a peanut?
- Hmm?
- A peanut?
- A peanut!
- Shut up and get back to work!
I've spent six months
setting up this operation
and I want
to see everything-
off-shore accounts,
dummy corporations, money laundering.
If we can cut off his funds,
we may finally be able
to stop The Man.
Waited a long time for this.
- What the hell?
- What the hell?
- What the-
- "Dissed. "
- Ah, solid.
- "Hey!"
What the hell
are you doing, old man?
Whoa!
- Headquarters...
- is there another agent on this case?
- Hell, no!
Damn it, who is that guy?
I'll cross-reference the bank's
security camera with our database.
Guard 1:
Come on, Uncle Ben!
Whoa!
Oh, shit!
It's Macy Gray
with pork-chop sideburns!
Who's bad?
Ohh! Right up
the pooper!
Right on, sweet sistah.
Chief:
Damn it, who is he?!
Sistah GirI, abort mission!
Damn it.
Who was that guy?
## "Hey, Undercover" ##
- ## "Undercover Brother" ##
- Solid.
## "Here's the plan-"
"he's got to fight the man" ##
## "And he's looking fine"
"when he goes head to head" ##
- ## "Dig those funky threads" ##
- ## "Wears his daddy's black" "medallion" ##
## "And it stands for pride" ##
