(Not Just) Knee Deep

"(Not Just) Knee Deep" is a song by the American funk band Funkadelic written by George Clinton.

[1] The Funkadelic version is sung by Clinton and several other group members, including Philippé Wynne, who was a former lead singer of the rhythm and blues group, The Spinners, which he left two years earlier.

[6] The song was also notably sampled in LL Cool J's "Nitro", Everlast's "Never Missin A Beat", Tone Lōc's "Funky Cold Medina", MC Hammer & Deion Sanders' "Straight to My Feet",[7] the rap group Mass 187's "Swang Your Hips",[8] Tha Dogg Pound's unreleased track "Can't C Us" (later remixed as 2pac's "Can't C Me"),[9] Geto Boys' "Homie Don't Play That", X Clan's "Funkin' Lesson", Bobby Brown's "Get Away", and Jessie J's "Seal Me with a Kiss".

[10][2] The Black Eyed Peas also used the beat behind it to remix their hit single "Shut Up", although George Clinton sued the band over copyright infringement, claiming that his signature was forged on the release forms clearing the use of the song.

[13] The South Korean girl band Mamamoo song "Um Oh Ah Yeh" from their third mini-album Pink Funky was influenced by it.
