Has PRINCE lost the funk? Having experienced some of the funkiest trax by prince such as
Lady Cab Driver, DMSR, Gett Off, Sexy MF, Head, Let's Work, Head, Erotic City, All The Critics Love U In New York, Automatic, Controversy, America, Feel U Up, Irresistible Bitch, Mountains, AnotherLover, The Black Album, Exodus, Housequake, Lalala Hehehee, Shockadelica,We Can Funk etc Now to my question Has PRINCE Lost the funk? As we know prince is a funk fiend, Prince main influence are funk musicians funkadelic parliament sly stone Miles Davis EW&F etc. Should he deliver a killer double futurefunk album with no james brown influences?

What new set? lotus flower,mpls or the live set? Live sets I don't have access to as for lotus flower,mpls I don't consider that funky enough. | |

He's not only lost it, he's surgically removed it from most of his past songs when he plays them live. | |

Let me get one thing straight I love prince's new music but I believe you should educate yourself about the funk before you come out with comments like that. Do you believe prince doesn't love the funk check out his 02 arena concert song lists sly stone songs billy cobham stratus song, songs from funkadelic-parliament songs, stevie wonders superstition etc. I also mentioned a future funk album not something old. A futurefunk album would be big in clubs. | |

I agree that the new LF/ MPLS set isn't that funky,
Ol' Skool Company is maybe the funkiest track....?  Prince 4Ever.  | |

[Edited 11/6/09 11:32am] Funk with no JB influences isn't really possible. Funk doesn't revolve around james brown, others have contributed as well. Miles davis funkadelic parliament sly stone etc That's why I said no james brown influence. That's too safe for prince he needs to take some risks musically. | |

what the heck?
it's as if you didn't give lotusflower/mpl sounds two cents "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |

I think he's just put it away for a while. At least I hope.
I really don't want to think he considers MPLSound real funk. (Then again, I don't want to think he considers it "the Minneapolis sound" either...) | |

It certainly doesn't revolve around Prince, whom is merely 'funky'. I do not consider Prince to be a truly great funk artist at all. |

oh what a mess..... the funk is all about the one....the accent on the one. james probably did it the best...but who cares what the funk "is"..it's what u can make it. and prince brought the funk 2 another level baby | |

Is it me or do we keep getting these type of threads like once or twice a month nowadays? Good grief. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

synth riffs and drum machine patterns wouldnt be the same without him You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam! | |

it's like riding a bike he will never loose it...even if prince chooses more r&B, jazz, or rock sounding stuff for his albums...the funk allways comes out in his live stuff
