Has PRINCE lost the funk?

Having experienced some of the funkiest trax by prince such as
Lady Cab Driver, DMSR, Gett Off, Sexy MF, Head, Let's Work, Head, Erotic City,
All The Critics Love U In New York, Automatic, Controversy, America, Feel U Up,
Irresistible Bitch, Mountains, AnotherLover, The Black Album, Exodus,
Housequake, Lalala Hehehee, Shockadelica,We Can Funk etc
Now to my question

Has PRINCE Lost the funk? As we know prince is a funk fiend, Prince main influence are funk musicians funkadelic parliament sly stone Miles Davis EW&F etc.

Should he deliver a killer double futurefunk album with no james brown influences?

He's not only lost it, he's surgically removed it from most of his past songs when he plays them live.

I agree that the new LF/ MPLS set isn't that funky,

Ol' Skool Company is maybe the funkiest track....?

hasnt lost it...wont distribute it,,,next cd should be the lost FUNK cd that was discussed with Prince and the Band, PFUNK, Turn me Loose etc

Hell no

what the heck?
it's as if you didn't give lotusflower/mpl sounds two cents

i think the world has lost it.

the time needs to release another album

Feel Better , Feel Good, Feel Wonderful!

I don’t know what U thought when U spit in my face
But this dimension ain’t the time or the place
I don’t know who told U U could stand next 2 me
But I got a guitar that could part a sea
Don’t mean no disrespect I aint tryin’ 2 brag
But it might be the same 1 that tapped on the crag
And it brought forth water that quenched Ur thirst
And we’ll keep feeding ya, but first things first!

Feel Better (Feel Better) , Feel Good, (Feel Good), Feel Wonderful


FUNK!!!!!

I think he's just put it away for a while. At least I hope.

I really don't want to think he considers MPLSound real funk. (Then again, I don't want to think he considers it "the Minneapolis sound" either...)

(is going to try REALLY REALLY hard to not go down this road again)
(last time it ended up being a 20+ page thread, and nothing got accomplished)
(most people in here don't know what "funk" is)
(just walk away, man. just walk away)

Well if you look back over the last few albums there have been plenty of great funky songs

3121, Lolita,Black Sweat,Love,FUNK,Feel Better Feel Good Feel Wonderful,Chocolate Box, Dance 4 Me, Old Skool Company.

He ain't lost yet.

THAT thread is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this one

oh what a mess.....

Is it me or do we keep getting these type of threads like once or twice a month nowadays? Good grief.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

prince influenced 80's funk like no other

synth riffs and drum machine patterns wouldnt be the same without him

No

it's like riding a bike he will never loose it...even if prince chooses more r&B, jazz, or rock sounding stuff for his albums...the funk allways comes out in his live stuff
