Funkers gatekeep the funk
>>127179836>lil nas x replacedAlready forgotten. He instantly run the satanic black queer well and nobody will ever think of him aside for that weird time period where a novelty hit became a major point of political discourse in that crazy age that was the second half of the 2010s

>thank you Prince
>>127179710 (OP)Why did blacks abandon Funk ? Throw a stone in a room full of Isley Brothers listeners under 30 years old, and chances are you'll be hitting a non black person.
