Is the minneapolis sound not an 80's take on funk? Synths replacing horns and a certain leaning into the beat to make it their own? Why can things not evolve a bit? It's not like funk in 1969 sounded the same as funk in 1975.

exactly
having a few funky songs does not make you a funk artist.
I love those guys but there are not Funk!!!! they are cool.
"Funk is dead, Funk is something you learn in school. there ain't nothin' funky about being COOL!"
.
FAKE or CRITICIZE ain't FUNK? What else is it? COUNTRY, ALTERNATIVE PUNK? Maybe CLASSICAL or OPERA??
.
Honestly, FUNK is a feeling and it lives in many forms, inter alia in music. You can find it in ELECTRO, in HOUSE, TECHNO, POP, ROCK, R&B etc.. And mostly, it appears just when you didnt expect it! Btw., FUNK is ALIVE & KICKIN'! Who told you it is dead?! Go out, search for it and you will find!

prince did some rapping so is he a rap artist too?!!?!? my point is jus because the have a few funky songs does not make them a funk artist. be careful how you label. with your logic prince is a rap artist, a funk artist, a jazz artist, a rock artist and an opera artist.

"a few funky songs"? The Time were a *funk band*.If you can't hear the funk in songs like "Get It Up","777-9311" and "The Bird",then something is seriously wrong with you.

dont be a noob, even the time said the were not a funk band
If we're gonna get bogged down with labels I'm stating that The Time were a New Wave Funk Pop band.
finally a voice of reason!!!!!!!
having funky songs does not make one funk artist. i would even go out on a limb and say there are very few funk artist. james brown had some funky songs but he was not a funk artist.
James Brown was not a funk artist??? I dare you to go on a funk music forum and say that...lol
james brown was funky he was not a funk artist. He is the the Godfather of Soul not funk. He gave birth to what became funk but he is not a funk artist.
This might shock you but none of the big names in funk did funk exclusively.
Parliment did funk exclusively.
No, they didn't. A large percentage of their later output is really close to disco. There's plenty of more typical R&B on the earlier Parliament records and even some country & western stuff.
Yep. That's some "pure funk" there, alright.
Your comment about James Brown makes me think you haven't even really listened to his albums from the late-60s onwards.
It's obvious that you're trying to appear knowledgeable in our eyes when you're just confused about what you are trying to say. People doing different types of songs does not disqualify them from being an artist of a certain genre if their contributions to the genre have been substantial enough.

Use some goddamn common sense.
