Can't believe that Return of the Bump Squad gets no love!


I'll back u up there man.


Me, too. I think it gets forgotten b/c maybe a lot of people don't have the Exodus album.

I think everyone has pretty much mentioned my choices, so I'll just reiterate... smile

Return of the Bumpsquad
Databank
Sexy Dancer (long version)
Purple Music
Come (not the album version)
777-9311
Mutiny
America (Long Version)
Erotic City (Make Love Not War)
I Wish U Heaven (Part III)
Irresistible Bitch
A Love Bizarre
Superfunkycalifragisexy
3121 (live)

headbang

If I had to pick one and only one as the funkiest track...hmm...I think I'd have to go with....777-9311. But it's a tough call between that and Erotic City.

Yeah, but...

What if he never actually composed something that is hardcore funk ?

To me the ultimate definition of "hardcore funk" is "Hot Pants" by James Brown.

If Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone and George Clinton are Prince's major black influences, then it's fair to say that he's never composed anything as raw as "Get On The Good Foot". Because those influences are already a blend of soul, funk and white pop music.

All his recent best tries in the genre are homages paid to the old school (Musicology and such), but they don't really count, do they ?

Prince's style resides in the perfect balance between black music and white music. When he tries to sound 100% percent black, he does not sound like him. It's well crafted, it makes you wanna shake your ass, but it's not hardcore as James of the Motown roots.

Those who don't know funk, don't live for the funk, or don't die for the funk - Will never know funk and that's why they think "Data Bank" IS funk. Ho-hum. Newbies. lol

But just ask those of us that DO and we will be glad to help you in your quest to be "fonkay". wink
