Funky it is not. Go and listen to Pleasure, Faze-O, P-Funk, Bootsy and come back to talk about what funk is.

As has been mentioned before they are funk records, AOA is not a funk record but in parts is quite funky

Yeah, I'm also baffled how so many people can be confused about this.

AOA is not a funk record, but many of the tracks are funky.

Many of the tracks on ATWIAD are funky too, even if there isn't a single track there that could be without problems categorized as "funk".

I was confused because the thread was talking the album and not individual songs. Even so with the exception of Time, I don't find any of the other songs funky at all.

Who gives a fuck whether AOA is funky? Either you like the music on the Art Official Age album or you don't like it. Quibbling over semantics is a waste of time.

I have said this for a very long time.

I cringe when I read what some people consider funky.**

Thank you for saying it.

I totally agree....it's irksome as hell when people think that anything up-tempo can be called funky, disbelief

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Funk was defined by JB, Sly, George Clinton and others. I'm trying to figure out why some of you think you can define funk any kind of way?

We're not talking about greatness, though. We're talking about FUNKNESS! Speaking strictlyly on that criteria - ALBUM-wise - my FUNK-legiance is with the Love Symbol album...based purely on the everlasting stench of "Sexy Motherfucker"! headbang

If you can define it, it ain't funky

At the end of the day..........if it is funky 2 u......then it's funky whether it meets someone else's definition or not. Funk is a feeling........and it is personal.
