    The track is Parliament - Do That Stuff from the album The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein - 1976

  • @1MyUsername : Who is that man? He looks so damn familiar, but I just can't recollect his name. Some musician for sure...

  • could some one tell me what genre of music an up tempo bass drum instrumental only rythm might be

  • Yea definitely. But I think that man at 0:50 got it bang on. Funk is "music that makes your neck and hips move in ways you cant practice". Thats what funk is !!!!!!

  • If you really want to know what Funk is just look over to your right. Go to Bootsy"s Basic Funk Formula. It takes him under two minute to explain what Funk is.....Trust me.........Everything is on The One!

  • Agreed. But not to control it too much because then it becomes restrcited freedom.

  • well the perfect funk is the controlling of the imperfection if you know what i mean. you can't just be all willy nilly. then you're just a bunch of silly dudes in a garage fleeing at any tempo

  • FUNK- 1. (ph-unk) Human rhythm recorded at a tempo in which the composer flirts with the timing of a metronome. 2. somethin' FUNKS so good that it STANK!!! I FOUND IT!!! Funk is nothin but good ol' human rhythm with some "slack" in it. Human rhythm isn't perfect and thats the beauty of it!
