Naw, mayyyn! That ain't be no funk!

"Glory be! The funk's on me!"

What you heard was Rhythm & Disco. I don't think there would be any funk fans that would agree that Off The Wall had a couple of funk cuts on there. Those songs had more disco influence if anything.


Workin Day And Night, Dont Stop Til You Get Enough and Off The Wall.....e-hem..are funk....n disco

No mayyyyn! No! Nopers! Hell naw! Lemme send the Bat Signal out for Funkpill and Paligap! They can put an end to this!

My man Stone!!!lol


Well,

And this is just my opinion...

'Billie Jean' was the closest to funk he ever came...

A masterpiece..the extended version that is...


Now that being said, even tho' it's a great album,

very danceable & yes...disco-ish, 'Wall' didn't have any funk on there...

I put it this way, it wouldn't be on my funk list...Ever!!!

That goes for 'Thriller' & 'Bad' also...

But it doesn't make them bad albums, because all three are great...

Dangerous had its moments, but didn't like it as a whole....


Hell!!

People don't wanna believe that Prince's 'Soft & Wet' had a disco

vibed...lol

Get on the Floor, yes i think it was the most disco influenced of all the tracks.


I would say that "Burn this Disco Out" was the most disco influenced song on the album. Overall I do believe OTW in it's own way re-defined dance music in general. It's definetly MJ most influential album, in my opinion.



nod agree.....

The funny thing, is even MJ didn't see the album has "disco". I would agree what another peep said the album was and still is multfaceted(sp) and it still sounds fresh 27 yrs on..

Let's help refine the definition of "disco" by naming Off The Wall as one of the genre's best albums. smile

I think it was the other way around.

I've always considered "OFF THE WALL" Funk&R&B, disco never even entered my mind.

There isn't ONE OUNCE of funk on that album.



Any dance song with LOUIS JOHNSON playing bass back then is a funk song to me, and he played on most of the cuts on Off The Wall.

Is Off The Wall in the same funk vain as "MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION"? Hell Naw, not even on the same level, that album was funk wall to wall, while Off The Wall was not, but it did have it's funky moments..... Get On The Floor, Workin Day And Night, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough are the funky cuts off that album, everything else was Rhythm & Disco as you said.

Disco DERIVED FROM Funk
so it still has roots in funk. maybe not REAL FUNK but even "Not Just Knee Deep" had to have been played in a disco club back in the day

Album plays and love for vinyl records.

Very true..nod

Funk is on the one


Disco stayed on the four...

Meaning it was speeded up and recycled the rhythm...

hmmm Did that give birth to House Music???

Says who? Disco is born from Soul Music - Motown/Philly Soul. And just because it's played IN a disco doesn't make it a disco record.

Well, either it WAS around or it WASN'T, there is no such thing as "not really" when speaking of something being in existence. lol

So, having said that, New Jack Swing WAS in fact around in the Fall of 87. Keith Sweat's "I Want Her" was out around then and that was the first hit of New Jack Swing that we got.
