Try the 12" extended version of Kiss. Or slap him with Anotherloverholeinyohead, Family Name, or pull out the big guns and strap him down for Return of the Bump Squad.

If none of that works, shake your head and look at him with pity. He was born with Funk Incompetence Syndrome, a genetic disorder that effects millions and there is no known cure, although researchers are hopeful. Please give generously to the D'Void Of Fund Foundation when they solicit donations.
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

Yesterday a friend of mine told me Prince wasn't funky.. we discussed music and we came to Prince's music, and I said he'd never become a Princefan, coz Prince was too funky and my friend just laughed and told me "Prince is NOT funky".. I was sooo upset!! evil ... I really wanna show my friend that Prince is FUNKY! What should I make my friend listen to?? Any ideas? it really upsets me that someone thinks Prince isn't funky!!! That hurts me.. lol


U shouldn't get so upset of what ppl say to u...
But if he don't think P is fonky, give him 1999.
And ask him then what he thinks is funky...???


Hey, haven't seen u here for a while.. how r u doing??

Well you're right, I just realized that some people just dont dig' prince's style.. & I'm too tired to discuss this with him (my friend).. His fans knows he's funky and a lot of other people knows he's funky.. so I shouldn't really care that much, now should I?? It just bugs me, how can some one NOT think Prince is funky? I'm just wondering?!?!.. But life's a bitch sometimes, right!!.. lol though I'm thankfull for all the suggestions on the songs, I'll definitely make him listen to some..

I am a huge fan of Prince but I don't really think he is all that funky. In his 30 plus albums you can most certainly find some great examples of funk, but it probably isn't that big of a percentage when compared to his catalogue. The new live cd showcases the fact that he has gone almost completely away from the funk at his live shows.

I'm not saying this to criticize Prince it's just the truth as I see it.

---
What live show are you refering to. I just saw Prince a year ago and he funked the roof off the building. Anytime he brings horns their is going to be funk.

I think the problem is that most people now do not know what funk is. Funk is Nelly, Cash Money Brother or 50 cents.

None of that crap is funk.


Moments of funkiness to be sure, but LARGE portions of that show is not funky. One only needs to listen to ONA Live to be shown that Prince's new direction is more towards easy listening and jazz then funk. That's not a negative comment it's just his new direction.

Trust me as an old school funk lover I know that Nelly and 50 cent are not funk. Actually they are a new breed of funk but they are not funk in the traditional sense.

You think Prince is turning into Barry Manilow?? Because I associate easy listening to Barry. The ONA cd is mellow but, it has some funky tracks on it and Prince changes the songs around a bit in concert.

A few things. Nelly's got talent, but 50 cents is horrendous. As for Prince and easy listening jazz I was worried about that too when I first heard TRC and X... but the music is more dynamic than that. The similarity is simply in the instruments employed. When has Prince ever stayed with one genre anyway?
As for moments of Prince being funky, play Rock Hard in a Funky Place, Controversy, 777-9311, Nasty Girl, Everlasting Now, Erotic City, America, etc. But the key is to not let them know who it is. People always let their image of Prince cloud their judgment.

In response to the deaf friend... It isn`t his fault. Funk is felt, not analysed. If you CAN`T feel it, You DON`T have it! We didn`t get into P through thinking about it. Why does 77793-11 work, Housequake?? You just know.. Just you try and keep your neck still to that bass!

Listen to how basic and weak the grooves played on radio now are in comparison. As for the chilli peppers, if anyone has mellowed lately...
