yes,because Prince as we all know borrowed from James Brown | |

Prince borrowed from a dozen sources like Sly and Santana and James. Justin Timberlake borrowed from Prince. So who is really original and who is really the better one? James pulled from somewhere too. | |

James pulled from somewhere too. I don't care who borrowed from who. Prince will never be able to touch James Brown on funk, period. | |

PRINCE!
I have this JB compilation, but I rarely listens to it... 
Of course he's great James, but my answer is PRINCE: I prefer Erotic City to Sex Machine 
Prince's funk is mixed with rock and pop, I just find it more relevant.  [Edited 6/25/09 2:46am] Prince 4Ever.  | |

That being said, Prince might be more ENJOYABLE to some. But as far as being a funk legend?  [Edited 6/25/09 4:54am] | |

James Brown is ONLY funk so I suppose he wins-but it wouldn't be enough for me.When Prince does funk I find it more sophisticated but I suppose James Brown deserves to win | |

Idiot? I don't consider myself an idiot lol... why do you need to label people just because they don't share your view? I am so much more into Prince's funk music than James'... sorry for saying this, but James' music sounds very dated to me - it's old music, more traditional imo. I have the deepest respect for what James did, but I still love Prince's funk better, 
Btw... when was the last time you heard James Brown.. ? I have just checked iTunes, 25-December-2008 was the last time for me, more than half a year ago... I am listening to Prince almost daily. He just means a lot more to me.... maybe because Prince plays a lot of different styles, funk, pop, soul... I find his music a lot more interesting. Prince 4Ever. | |

James Brown...I'd bet even Prince would say James Brown "If you wanted to buy a Sam Cooke album, where would you go?" | |

I listened to 'In The Jungle Groove' day before yesterday. funny you should say you find it old fashioned funk compared to Prince, listened to 'The Work', '1+1+1=3' or 'Prettyman' lately? |
