Prince's most P-Funk sounding tracks... And yeah, since P-Funk was one of his biggest influences a lot of their elements find their way into most of his music but what are the most obviously influenced songs? If you can cite certain bands and eras from P-Funk that'd be great. I'm just glossing over their catalogue and I'm definitely hearing a lot of what would end up in Prince's music including the polarizing vocals and Eddie Hazel's guitar tone. | |

"I Wonder U"..reminded me of "Children Of Production" the 1st time I heard it.
"Rock Hard In A Funky Place" "Billy Jack Bitch" | |

Erotic City - Knee Deep
That's by far the closest Prince has come to P-funk imo. | |

"what is a booty and how will I know if I'm shaking it, what is the funk and how will i know if I'm faking it..." When  go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all  up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

"Hallucination Rain" got that Funkadelic feel in my opinion; I also always thought the chorus for "Violet The Organ Grinder" got some P-Funk flavor in it but I guess I'm kinda alone on this one... | |

I'd also say "Push It Up" after Doug's rap; the "This is the jam..." & "On & on till the early morn..." chants and that synth bassline are definitely P-Funk inspired to me... [Edited 8/4/09 15:18pm] | |

Being a big fan of both, I still couldn't find too many memorable similarities, although I was looking for stuff like that ever since.. Everybody says the Exodus album sounded P-Funkish, but I never thought so either. Yes, sure, We Can Funk does, but that's, well, a Clinton track in its final version...
I can agree on Erotic City tho. I'm sure everybody knows the story about Prince writing and recording it after and because of a P-Funk show he attended that night? Apart from that I don't see too many obvious things... Very interested in your opinions, though. Maybe this would make a nice compilation? P.'s F.U.N.K. anybody?  | |
