| P-FUNK | Parliament/Funkadelic (1970's funk group) |
The word P–Funk refers to the style of George Clinton's groups Parliament and Funkadelic. If you don't know who George Clinton is, he was a huge funk artist in the '70s and '80s who now has rainbow hair, looks kinda insane, and spreads his musical wisdom to any current artist willing to listen.
Funk, rhythm-driven musical genre popular in the 1970s and early 1980s that linked soul to later African-American musical styles. Like many words emanating from the African-American oral tradition, funk defies literal definition, for its usage varies with circumstance.
So, as everyone knows, the funk died on July 2nd when it was traveling on the Mothership with Bootsy Collins and the members of Parliament-Funkadelic. Reports say that it was kicked clean overboard by George Clinton, and that it fell into a nearby lake, leading to its death by drowning.
Funk music is a style of popular music that emerged in the late 1960s as an outgrowth of R&B (rhythm and blues). Funk features strong bass lines, or music lines played by low-pitched instruments and has a heavy syncopated beat, meaning a beat with emphasis changed from strong beats to off beats and accents.
Funk was born from the influence of many genres: jazz, R&B, soul, and African grooves. It existed in an early form in New Orleans since the mid-1900s. Over the decades it has influenced jazz, R&B and soul music in return, and it gave birth to the entire genre of hip-hop.
