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.

He was the flyest to ever do it. The man could sing, he could talk shyt on records, he could educate :wow:

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
