Some of the hip hop producers, especially on the west coast, are keeping the funk alive.
I'm not saying it is as good, or better, or takes the place of the old funk legends, but it's good to hear funkiness!

by the way, I post these for the production, not the lyrics/rappers.

Sorry about this rushed list.
I will edit/add more to it later

Some good examples are hard to find on youtube!
May try track them down elsewhere

I was hoping someone would start a thread like this...
