Why the smiley?

Is it that bad of an opinion to warrant it?

IMO, yes but I love Sly too. It's like comparing an entire all star basketball team to one superstar player.

Brehs . . read this article, it's too long to post


George Clinton recognized as early as 1969 that a hijacking was taking place.

When I looked at Cream come back doing “Crossroads” and “Spoonfull” which was my mother’s music and we had given it away. We were saying by this time, we was saying Rock N Roll is white music. Blues…they was getting ready to do Blues like that. And I just realized, ‘whoah, we counting ourselves out by doing that.’ So I took the mid-tempo music and just called it funk and vowed to never let anybody change it. So when it came to time to be R&B, urban, Black, or whatever, we was all that. But we was still gonna say funk, I don’t care what they print.

Like I said in some other thread, Funk is where the blues-rock guitar was found/lived on outside of actual Blues music, when black people weren't being marketed as "rock" music simply because Rock n Roll became synonymous or code for "white" music.

I don't know where to start with Funk. I want similar sounds to Prince's D.M.S.R (if that's even close to Funk). When the guitars make you :ahh:

I can agree wit this, maybe I'm a little biased though

The self titled album is my favorite, every single song is amazing
