PRINCE of funk!  | |

Nope, James Brown, Clinton and a host of others could battle P for that title and win.
When P was a his peak, funk was just a part of his greatness. As his creative powers have waned, he's fallen back on it quite successfully. | |

I like to only look at Prince as a King in a marriage...Otherwise, Prince is a Prince of many colors...
Prince is not limited in any way to one style...He's got it all.  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

yes of course prince is the king of funk. prince is just his name not a title lol. if you listen to his earlier material and a lot of his later catalogue too he is the funkiest man on earth no kidding. on my birthday some friends of mine were listening to the hits and b-sides and we were all nodding saying 'this is as funky as it gets and always will be'. maybe you just need to have the ears to hear it. funk is in the soul of the listener as much as it is in the music, imo. i've never heard anyone play guitar funky as that or compose and arrange beats the way he does, so intricate yet simple and always in the right spots.
prince is the king of funk and he might also be the queen lol  harry the turtle got mugged by a gang of snails. he doesnt know how. it all happened so fast. | |

The title "King of Funk", besides sounding too close to the self-imposed (and irritating) "King of Pop" is a bit limiting don't you think?
I love Prince's funk tracks, but his skills and talents in songwriting are of a larger scope. I guess I should answer the question though. As of today, yes. JB and RJ are both gone. GC is still turning out jams, but if it came down to a throwdown, Prince wins. Here's a thought...imagine Prince in a funk battle with no band, only his guitar...he'd win. I think he could even win playing piano. My question is, who can challenge him right now? |

I would say George Clinton maybe is the king?
Although Prince definitely is the queen of funk. | |
