| | Funk |
 | | Funk, which with its sharp syncopation and improvisational freedom has had a lasting impact on all popular music, is finally the subject of a book-length study. | | | Funk is a vigorous African American style of music developed mainly by James Brown and his band members (especially Maceo and Melvin Parker) on the one hand and groups like The Meters on the other hand. | | | Funk can be best recognized by syncopated rhythm, thick bass line (often based on "on one" beat), razor-sharp rhythm guitars, yowlish vocals (as that of Cameo or Bar-Kays), strong rhythm-oriented brass section, percussion instruments, happiness in style, African tones, dance floor audience, and strong jazzy influences (e.g. |

| | While not rooted in jazz, funk nevertheless took the expansiveness of bop and implemented the resulting freedom from pop song structures into a steamy soul context. | | | Lengthy explorations of a single chord, horns accentuating the beat rather than the melody, freeform song arrangements--these became the hallmarks of soul's rawest, dirtiest outpost. | | | You'll be amazed these aren't the original versions, but one listen and you're sure to be hooked. |

| | G-funk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | G-funk (Gangsta-funk or Ghetto-funk) is a type of hip hop music that emerged from West Coast gangsta rap in the early 1990s. | | | G-funk (largely derived from slowing the tempo down of funk music) incorporates multi-layered and melodic synthesizers, slow hypnotic grooves, a deep bass, background female vocals, the extensive sampling of P-funk tunes, and a high portamento sine wave keyboard lead —a feature that became the genre’s notable trademark. | | | This genre was characterized by a predictable and rather hedonistic subject matter (typically violence, sex, and endless drug-use) and a slurred “lazy drawl” that sacrificed lyrical complexity for clarity and rhythmic cadence. |

| | The music sense—unpretentious, down to earth, rooted in the blues—turns up in the early 1950s as a further evolution of meaning that could consciously hark back to the Buddy Bolden song. | | | Then I learned funk was a style of music, and only a few years ago I learned (from Julia Louis-Dreyfus on TV’s Seinfeld) that it can also mean smelly. | | | However, the modern sense of a musical genre and the Black English term funky for something excellent both derive from the surviving American sense of funk for a bad smell. |
