Funk <li>(n.) Alt. of Funking </li><li>(n.) An offensive smell; a stench. </li><li>(n.) One who funks; a shirk; a coward. </li><li>(v. i.) To be frightened, and shrink back; to flinch; as, to funk at the edge of a precipice. </li><li>(v. i.) To emit an offensive smell; to stink. </li><li>(v. t.) To envelop with an offensive smell or smoke. </li><li>(v. t.) To frighten; to cause to flinch. </li><li>(v. t.) To funk at; to flinch at; to shrink from (a thing or person); as, to funk a task.</li> <li>(n.) A style of popular music developed by African Americans, combining elements of gospel music and rhythm and blues.</li>---- Funk. What does the word conjure up in your mind? Chances are, you're wrong. You're likely thinking some awful form of disco, or even worse, one of your favorite bands "funky" jam, maaaan. Well, you're wrong. While I appreciate some good funky jams... they are funk-y. Not funk. I, am a funk snob. Let me bring you all back to a time before my time. There was a time where music was made by musicians. When music was an art and required talent to create. In the mid to late 1960s in America, black people were still frowned upon, and seen as second class citizens. Now, today, this idea (to most rational humans) seems proposterous, but, trust me my droogies, this time existed. Just mention black people around your grandparents and the chances are they refer to them as "colored" or some other derogatory term. I digress. In this time period, there was an urge to escalate music beyond the aspiring rock bands of the time, and even beyond the soul and Motown sound... these pioneers, we will refer to as O.G. Funkateers, created a style of music that revolutionized a culture, and at its peak, was the modern day equivalent of whatever drivle you see on the popular music charts now. Funk took the world by storm. The horns, the beats, the grooves, the people, THE LIVE SHOW. Funk music. Funk best can be recognized by its syncopated rhythms; fatty bass lines; razor-sharp rhythm guitars; chanted or hollered vocals often relating to socio-political struggles or absolute nonsense; strong, rhythm-oriented horn sections; prominent percussion; an upbeat attitude; African tones borrowed from old Afrobeat jams; and most importantly, danceability. Funk music made people move. Period. If you listen to any of the music or watch the movies I recommend as true funk, you will soon understand what I mean. Funk music in itself, to the untrained ear, is incredibly simple; while in reality the rhythms are much more complex than your average soul jam, but the structure remains simple, butt hats just it my friends. The simplicity is what makes it groove, don't you understand this? The horns, the keys, the percussion, the groove, the beat, the total package... the simplicity is so complex... its beautiful. Listen to some raw funk and you will know what I mean. The simplist changes in the song actually MAKES the damn song. This sounds horrible simplified, but its true. Some of the best musicians of our time came from this period of music, and that's not just biased opinion, you cannot argue the following musicians aren't amazing at their craft: -Maceo Parker -Fred Wesley -James Brown -Eddie Hazel -Jimi Hendrix -Earth, Wind, and Fire -Herbie Hancock -Isaac Hayes -Parliament -The Nevelles -Kool and the Gang Look, these are just a few... and by all means they are not the be all end all funk music... I'm just stating them so you can see what's happening here. If you have half a clue of modern music, you will see where they get their inspirations/samples from... Funk. Period. Fucking funk. And true, raw, uncut, nasty, O.G. funk is being lost. I play some raw funk for some people and it often goes along this l
