Hi everyone! I'd like to make a funk compilation for my teenage son who's pretty lukewarm to P. Since he likes Sly, Parliament, etc. I know that with the right songs I'll get him hooked. Thanks for your help.

Prettyman
Sexy MF
Days Of Wild
Controversy
Housequake
Feel U Up
Head
D.M.S.R.
The Work (part 1)
Hide The Bone
It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night
Billy Jack Bitch
Partyup
The Sacrifice Of Victor

I'd make him a compilation with a few P songs on it, if he's a little wary of his music. Something like:

Superfreak- RJ
Atomic Dog- GC
Everyday People- Sly
Lovesign- P
Papa Got a Brand New Bag- JB
Dance Little Sister- TTD
More Bounce...-Zapp
Bop Gun- Ice Cube w/ GC
Jungle Love- the Time
Always on the Run- Lenny
Get Down on it- Kool and the Gang
Le Freak- Chic
Days of Wild- P. (edit time)
I'll Take You There- Staples
Higher Ground- SW
The Jam- GCS (edit time)
Let's Work- P
Flashlight- Parliament (...now that's a killer cd)

?

Thanks (and keep the advice coming!).

Mr. C: what do you mean by (edit time)?

Both those songs are over 10 mins long. I was just thinking if you added those songs to a mix, that they should edited down to say 5 minutes or so. Pretty good mix huh?

Yeah. I'm already working on it. Thanks.

(BTW, I'm probably the world's oldest Spongebob fan.)

undisputed(moneyopolis mix), cloreen baconskin make sure u have those 2 on there.

Now if he can't get into Prince from this compilation, then your friend has got problems

throw Return Of The Bumpsquad in there also

Just give him "1999." That should do it. If you want to cover more ground, you can go with:

I Feel for You
Dirty Mind
Head
Controversy
Let's Work
1999
Let's Pretend We're Married
DMSR
Automatic
Lady Cab Driver
All the Critics Love U in New York
Irresistible Bitch
Erotic City
Girls and Boys
Housequake
Hot Thing
Shockadelica
La La La He He Hee
Le Grind
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Rockhard in a Funky Place
Lovesexy
Scarlet Pussy
Partyman
Feel U Up
We Can Funk

This is getting too long already.

Much thanks for your lists and advice. I've certainly got a lot to work with.

(Of course, it's always interesting to set my mind free and get into that of a 19 year old.)
