I consider Prince to be more like God-like funk.

Why would you even come to a Prince site if you're not even a Prince fan?

Jesus, you don't see me going to a Good Charlotte fan site and talking about how much the band sucks.

Why, were you a fan of theirs at some point?

No, but if I once liked them and then stopped for whatever reason, I wouldn't waste the time bashing them constantly.

I'd move on instead, which is what you should do imo.

"lite" is an adjective and all adjectives are relative. Compared to Pfunk, Prince is lite funk. Compared to Justin Timberlake, he is hard funk.

Nah, I'd rather help make this site balanced.

trying to point out that Prince is shit is hardly a balancing influence on what is again, a Prince FAN site. Make constructive criticism, sure, but obviously you got disappointed with Prince at some point and decided that everything he did from then on sucked and just want to tell the org how he did you wrong, am I right? See there's this thing called LIFE and Prince is a part of that for many of us and it seems like he dropped out of yours altogether...so why are you here again?

Just wondering, again.

Perhaps perhaps because funk is just a small percentage of what he's about and what he does. there's a lot more to Prince than just funk.

Let's face it, Prince is 1/3 funk, 1/3 rock and 1/3 soul, r&b, pop, jazz, avante garde and whatever else you want to put in there.

Funk is one of two major parts of his musical make up.

nod Rarely is a Prince song completely funk, pop, rock, jazz, etc. The term funk-lite was used to degrade Prince as if there is one way or some authority on what funk should be.

I think we all know the real answer to this question. Mr. EWM has serious "issues", that's quite obivious and prince is only a symptom of this. Why would anyone represent themselves as "evil"? Seek help my friend u have issues that need dealing with, no joke.

This topic seemed to be started to spawn a debate. It would seem that some posting here don't want a real answer to the question. Considering this, I'm not going to give one. I've answered this before. There's much funkier out there.
