Too Hot to Stop is a 1976 album by the American
funk group
The Bar-Kays .
[5]
[6] It was their first album for
Mercury Records .
[7] It includes the hit "Shake Your Rump to the Funk". The song is best known for playing at the start of the 2007 comedy film
Superbad .
Critical reception
The New Rolling Stone Record Guide deemed the album "unashamedly derivative Ohio Players funk."
[4] Despite this review, Too Hot To Stop is considered by funk fans to be one of the very best Bar-Kays albums. Its content caused
George Clinton , leader of
Parliament-Funkadelic , to invite the Bar-Kays to be one of the opening acts on his band's legendary 1976-77
P-Funk Earth Tour .[
