I believe you will find that the correct grammar is 'Try one sometime.' Now cant we KISS and make up.

Just as an aside, what do you think Prince meant by the lyrics 'U've got 2 try my new funk'? Is this the same funk that you know so much about or something completely different?

Spooky, I would love to answer you but unfortunately I don't have time to talk to cardboard boxes. wink

James Brown said so and he invented funk with papa's got a brand new bag and out of sight. He said he came up with funk with changing the beat accent from the second and fourth to the first and third, but I guess you know more then him. You're just some dude who thinks he knows far more then he really does. Nobody else on this whole forum will agree with you that Head is not funk. Parliament's (George Clinton) flash light is synth driven are you gonna say that's not funk? Funkadelic's (George Clinton)(not just) Nee deep is synth driven. That's not funk? George Clinton's atomic dog is Synth driven. I guess that's not funk. Zapp's (Roger troutman) more bounce to the ounce is all synths. I guess that's not funk.
Just stop, Please just stop.

Here read this. Scroll down to the title make it funky. I'm done with you
http://www.soul-patrol.co...career.htm


I like how you tried to use a FAN SITE as gospel of the funk...bad move. The funny thing is, right underneath this so-called "expert" saying that funk is a beat, he says The JB HORN SECTION had a lot to do with the sound as well. Hmm? HORNS AREN'T DRUMS. eek .

As far as synth-driven songs you mentioned, WRONG. Those songs aren't synth driven as much as they are bass drum and bassline driven. The only argument I can go with u on is Flashlight as being mainly a synth-driven funk song. And to think More Bouunce was synth-driven is just retarded altogether. eek . No, scaratch that - INSANE LOL!

But you go 'right ahead and keep thinkin' FUNK IS A BEAT, big pimp. wink eek lol



You're fucking stupid. You never heard of a bass synth? A. Dog, Nee deep, more bounce, and flashlight all use a bass syth. All of the songs I named or synth driven. James brown talking about changing the beat are in interviews he's given and in the liner notes of various collection albums by him. If you think funk can be played with certain types of instruments, then you are the retard.[Edited 7/29/05 17:07pm]

Dude, shut the fuck up. It';s obvious from all your editing of your post that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. A dumbass like you doesn't realize the difference between A SYNTHESIZER and the USE OF A SYNTHESIZER IN IMITATING CERTAIN INSTRUMENTS. Dumb ass. Go learn some music and then come back and see me. Cum stain.

Yeah that's what I thought. Now you're reaching. Sorry I had to put you in you're fucking place about a bass synthesizer. Stupid little bitch

A dumbass like you doesn't realize the difference between A SYNTHESIZER and the USE OF A SYNTHESIZER IN IMITATING CERTAIN INSTRUMENTS.

Goddamn you're reaching! Using a synth is using a synth. Those songs are not using a bass guitar played through a synthesizer. A bass synth is an instrument in itself, you prick.
Like I said. If you think funk can only be played with certain types of instruments, then you are the retard.
Also the reason why I did so much editing, was because I kept thinking of more info to break your ass off with, after I already posted.

Here you are you A-Hole a bass synthersizer. Now I'm really done with you. Don't bother to reply, you will be ignored.

You are the one who doesn't know what funk is. How in the hell can you think Head of all songs is not funk? That's nothing but pure funk! I agree that space and strange relationship are not funk, but the others you named are.
Someone listed the ultra UNFUNKY let's pretend we're married. That just crazy.


*Head* may have some funk elements to it, but *Head* is synth-driven, if you knew funk then you'd know funk isn't synth-driven. Most novices like you make that mistake though, that's why I asked what term of 'funk' are you speaking on.



I have to back up the "Head" folks...Head is definitely funk...And as far as the song being synth-driven, so was "Flash Light" and a host of other funk songs ("Controversy, Atomic Dog, "Get It Up" ect...) .."Head" is easily the funkiest sounding track on Dirty Mind...that shit could have came out in '75....

LOL! I love it when I piss off the idiot kids in here that think they know shit but are only talking out of their ass. Nice try, lil guy...next time pick on someone that doesn't knwo their shit so you won't have to get all pissed and start crying like some whore ass bitch to the room. The mere fact that YOU'RE TOO DUMN TO REALIZE THE DIFFEENCE BETWEEN WHAT A SYNTHESIZED SOUND OF AN INSTRUMENT IS AND A REAL INSTRUMENT IS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER READ HERE ON THE ORG. You're truly a fucking idiot savant and you make RAIN MAN LOOK LIKE EINSTIEN! eek lol

I'm sure you're gonna try and cover your dumb ass again with some more stupid shit like "Synthesizer use electricity" LOL! I'll stay tuned, because whorring idiot bitches like you come easy for a soldier like me.

Good luck, dummy. LOL! Stupid fuck.

I think funk is the use of variation in rythmic tension in music to create pushes, pulls, and spaces that create the illusion of bursts of energy and recoil.

A very apt definition of funk nod , although the characteristic you described is fundamental to every form of music descended from west africa, including jazz, gospel and rock n roll, funk just emphasizes above melody or song structure

It's on The Black Album. A really freaked-out, quite long instrumental with killer solos.
