I want to give some recommendations because funk is rarely brought up on this board, but I don't really fuck with that OP image.

Mothership Connection by Parliament

SOURCE

it depends
george clinton
daft punk lol

Malu Trevejo?

Craig Charles radio show yaaaaaaaay

Knights of the Sound Table and Cameosis (Cameo), Mothership Connection (P-Funk), Fire (Ohio Players) to start off with. Then after that move on to Fantastic Voyage and Shot of Love (Lakeside), and Stone Jam (Slave).

Don't use that picture. It's kinda creepy.

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED

you just funk around a bit

Anything released by Slave is god tier

Why is funk so unpopular today?

With a tongue brush

don't get, shit's dead and nobody cares about it

avant-teens cant into black music that isn't meme rap

Where else is it supposed to go? It reached a God-tier creative height in the 70's and produced some of the best music of all time and then got fucked up in the 80's and then Dre mutated it for hip-hop in the 90's and it's been hanging around since.

I'm a funk DJ for a college radio station. It's simple. Open your browser, clear the cache, find a funk song you like, go to youtube, enter song, look at recommendations on the side, follow recommendations, make a list of aetists you like, download said artists on rutracker.

Blaxploitation compilations are solid, usually.

Also, if you're coming from a rap direction, try out the sites that show sampling sources.

Example, this features King Crimson's drummer from Islands, Ian Wallace.

who is this semen demon?

Because of people who are creating it. We've heard of Berklee funk, but that's not how it should continue. Not as James Brown impersonators either, like Bruno Mars. Funk gave a voice to the voiceless in the 70's. It does not anymore.

Here it is:

No Funkadelic? What is this?

fuck off to the appropriate board for requests

Disco killed funk. Many blame the 80's, but disco really decimated funk.

>tripshit tells anyone to fuck off

now that's rich

>Disco killed funk. Many blame the 80's, but disco really decimated funk.
That is true. I've even recommended The Mothership Connection to some of my friends and they couldn't get into it. They probably expected:

And not some black guys talking about space ships.

hahahaha... oh wow

>makes better funk than any black person ever has
Nuthin personnel, kid

I was being facetious with the last sentence. Their music was always explorative and definitely not radio appropriate.

not even remotely close

I was waiting for this. Does anyone at all approach that voice of his now? I highly doubt it.

Bad troll is bad

Here's "Sup Forumscore" for funk, kiddies.

God tier: James Brown, George Clinton (Parliament, Funkadelic, P-Funk Allstars, Solo), Sly Stone, Bootsy, Larry Graham (Graham Central Station, Betty Davis)

Demigods: Bar Kays, Ohio Players, Betty Davis, The JB's and James Brown Instrumentals, Blaxploitation soundtracks, Curtis Mayfield, Early Earth, Wind, & Fire. Kool & The Gang, Sharon Jones, Prince, Stevie Wonder

Heroes: Johnny Guitar Watson, Zapp, Bohannon, Cameo, Fred Wesley, Commodores

Mortals: The countless one-/two-hit wonders, rappers/hip-hop sampling funk, funk revival acts.

Some based Sup Forums regular told me Sup Forums classifies funk as a subgenre of /groove/ and could easily be researched in the archives.

Good luck with your funky asses, anons.

That's more like it.

Should've added select porno soundtracks and disco funk on the mortal tier.

Thank you and may your funk be pure.

Say it to my face tripfag, I’ll spark you out. Fucking cunt. How does it feel to be universally hated?

Curtis' voice is fantastic.

I fucking love you, Chaka Khan.

Sup Forums is just fun and games, I dont know what youre on about since I dont read my (you)s

Add Barry White & The White Gold Orchestra and Isaac Hayes (even if he was a scientologist, freak)

Claims funk knowledge
Doesn't even get basic God tier staples like The Meters, Galactic, and Allen Toussaint
Posts anyways

Good idea, but you can do just as well with Clones of Dr. Funkenstein

Meters, I should've included.

Galactic is garbage, shit tier, hippie jam band. Spin Doctors with horns.

Toussant has so much more in his catalog than funk. New Orleans is its own world, funk is barely a facet.

Sorry if I didn't write a complete book for you, faggot. Might have to do some of your own research and lay down some recommendations, as opposed to criticizing me for not naming every single fucking band.
