Genre
Funk
Funk puts rhythm first: syncopated basslines, choppy guitar, horn stabs, and drumming locked into "the one." James Brown engineered the blueprint in the 1960s, and Parliament-Funkadelic, Sly Stone, and Prince expanded it into a universe sampled endlessly by hip-hop.
Funk on Riffiter: 89 albums from artists including Prince, D'Angelo, Sly & The Family Stone, ranked by popularity and community ratings.
