I'm sorry you think he's lost the funk, but after seeing him up close in Hong Kong I can tell you the man has it. He is crisp and fresh and cool and funky.
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

Glad U appreciate him, but after seeing him in various concerts from 1986-2002 I feel the funk has finally disappeared into the air... thumbs up!

He hasn't lost the funk.. just the fire. I for one think he's funkier now than he has ever been.

Some of the band members during the graffiti bridge era approached him about his hygiene and he hasn't been funky since, well, except when he was recording the "COME" album he might've went a couple of days without a shower.

Mr. Nelson made a good point in his latest tour book.
If music inspires a person, then one day that music doesn't inspire that person anymore then what has changed? Has the music lost the inspiration or has the listener?

No, see, Prince has still got the funk. It might not be as cool as it was in the 1980's, but he's still got some of it left. Now, it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers that I'm worried about these days. Oh, how I long for thine days of Freaky Styley. sad

Its not about agreeing or disagreeing. You may not like what Prince does today, but he has never been as funky as today. Maybe you should study the meaning of the word "FUNK" before you are throwing it around like pop. Funkentechnically speaking, "It aint over" and "TRC" contains some of Prince`s funkiest material ever.

Have a closer look at his current band: Its made up by a list of funk musicians; people who have been playing nothing but funk in their entire lives. The composition of this band is nothing but funk.

Name me more phase in Prince?s career which was more funky... he had some funky shit out on "Exodus" (the instrumental cut "New Power Soul" is deep fried funk) and during the "Dream Factory" era, but thats about it. Prince has always been more about pop than funk. It hasnt been until now, that real funk musicians are paying close attention to him and are finally taking him seriously as a funk musician.
