it Depends.. IMHO:

To a Hip Hop minded person ---> it's Funky..

To an Oldschool 'Funk' Lover it's a bunch of 16/T drum machine tomfoolery!

Yes. Funky with keyboards/synthesizers and not as much bass guitars. Still funky enough though.

With the exception of the Song "Give Me My Love", Johnny "Guitar" Watson's 1977 Album "Funk Beyond The Call Of Duty" is THE BIBLE of New Jack Swing!!!!
