I've never considered Prince a funk artist. I didn't realize that there were people that considered him one until I starting coming here. | |

Most of Prince's funk tracks were before the Purple Rain-era. Tupac "Makaveli" Shakur (RIP 1971-1996) & Michael Jackson (RIP 1958-2009)

18. When Doves Cry - Prince A song without a bass guitar or synthbass at all!!! However, the bass drum from the Linn LM-1 drum machine is deep. Tupac "Makaveli" Shakur (RIP 1971-1996) & Michael Jackson (RIP 1958-2009)

Prince has some funky tracks but I don't consider those funky tracks to be pure funk.

Perhaps I'm too limited in what I consider funk. When I think of funk I think of George Clinton, Slave, The Ohio Players, Cameo, Rick James, James Brown...but not Prince.
