The Payback is a 1973 double album by James Brown. It was originally scheduled to become the soundtrack for the blaxploitation film Hell Up in Harlem. The Payback is considered a high point in Brown's recording career, and is now regarded by critics as a landmark funk album. It's revenge-themed title track, a #1 R&B hit, is one of his most famous songs and an especially prolific source of samples for record producers.

The Payback 2. Doing the Best I Can 1. Take Some, Leave Some 2. Shoot Your Shot 1. Forever Suffering 2. Time Is Running Out Fast 1. Stone to the Bone 2. Mind Power
