I always thought this simple saying made perfect commentary to /mu/core

I get it now, they're goated

This

actual funk is boring imo

>>128346355
correct

>>128346355
I think 99% of the guys who spam this album on /mu/ and RYM have never listened to a black funk artist, yet idolize this safe, whiteboy take on the genre (which is much inferior to the real thing).

>>128346408
what's an example of DANGEROUS REAL funk?

>>128346456
James Brown.

>>128346481
since you won't give me a specific example I'll just go with his most famous
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE5D2hJhacU
and invite you to tell me how Remain In Light is in any way more "safe" than this

>>128346495
Listen to Live at the Olympia, Paris, 1971.
He was black, drug addicted and had a pimpin' persona, while the Talking Heads were just NYC whiteboy nerds appropiating black music while using no drugs or having no trouble with the law.

>>128346513
james brown is better because he was a drug addict LARPing as a criminal? So it's not about the music?

>>128346533
Yes. Criminal behavior is a telltale sign of high test. Low T involves gay shit like nerdy ass vocals and autism.

>>128346610
So it's really more about your crush on the singer than it is about the music itself, got it

>>128346628
Uh oh, seems like we got Bobby over here triggered because a black man doesn't share his like of basic bitch white funk. Sad!

How about Giving Head?

>>128346648
>n-no you're triggered!!

Who are you meeting that's having this reaction to funk?
>>128346408
Why are you implying that liking the two are mutually exclusive?

>>128346648
kek you're not black

Because every person that has tasted real trve fvnk wouldn't listen to this watered down dogshit.

>>128347075
>Because every person that has tasted real trve fvnk wouldn't listen to this watered down dogshit.
First off: It's not watered down.
And second off, I do.
I listen to James Brown and Curtis Mayfield and Rick James and EW&F and Ohio Players and plenty of other Funk that'd be tedious to list out one by one. Especially if you count Jazz-Funk. There's nothing wrong with enjoying both.
>Inb4 some bullshit reason the artists I listed don't count as real funk.

>>128346843
Tracks 1 and 3 are pretty cool but I do not feel any less "safe" listening to them than I do Remain in Light
track 2 kinda boring

>>128339897
>>128346408
even if true, why do people get mad that whites prefer white takes on whatever?
do you think blacks are embarrassed they prefer lame black family life sit-com's over better white takes on the genre?

>>128339897
What's wrong with art schools, even Hitler wanted to go into one

>>128348528
I'm not mad, just explaining to you that this shit is not the real thing. Kinda like if you smoked some shitass synthetic weed and I told you "that shit ain't the real thing; try this".
And then the chud argument would be "I don't want the superior thing because it goes against my identity!". But to each his own, I guess...

>>128348798
isn't it more like you smoked synthetic weed that was cleaner and better?

>>128348798
i liked the first funkadelic song, but turned it off after about 3 minutes (going nowhere), and prefer th's cross-eyed and painless over it
and I think the funkadelic bass might slap harder.
but the songs on side a of remain in light just seem more thematically purposeful or something.
(i'll check out the other two above a little later.)

@128339897
Not this + /unthreads + you're a faggot and going to hell

Nice reference

>>128348847
Nah, more like you smoked some diet weed that makes you feel nothing but paranoia and irritation (aka, normal over the counter weed these days)

>>128346355
Listen more and better funk

Tasteless talking heads apologists whining like the bitches they're

Funk sucks. At least talking heads is somewhat cool and relevant.

>>128349081
and to be clear, the bad weed is james brown and the good weed is the talking heads?

>>128346843
>hippie shit
>:(
>hippie shit: Negroes edition
: O

>>128351434
the other way.
It's insane to think there's people on /mu/ who haven't listened to James Brown, Funkadelic or Curtis Mayfield. No wonder this board is completely handled by plebs these days: everyone is underage and just listens to turbo-entry level / normie shit like Paramore, Talking Heads, Metallica and unironic pop trash. No one even gives a fuck about music anymore.

>>128351592
That's a confusing metaphor then.
Also lol @ basic bitch boomer music like James Brown being not entry-level

>>128348798
>>128349081
>>128348798
>>128349081
>dude weed lmao
So """""real funk""""" is the genre little bitches who can't face reality listen to? Kind of like mumble rap but for boomers.

>>128351636
I mentioned him because it's obvious that almost no one ITT has ever listened to him despite being a completely entry level funk artist, retard.

>>128351713
face reality and kill yourself, I guess. No one's gonna take your virginity away, bro; might as well just wrap it up.

>>128351723
>n-no u
kek, sure thing buddy.

>>128351718
why, because if anyone had listened to him they would realize he's better than Talking Heads? Are you the same anon from earlier who said James Brown was better because he's a high-T drug addict?

>>128351738
Refute or gtfo: if you're a virgin still (or only fuck prostitutes), it's a wrap for you, loverboy.

This thread is awful and I hate everyone in it (including me for bumping it).
Talking Heads song tier list.

>>128351754
Yes, no.
I just told you, I mentioned him because he's entry level, therefore making your whole argument invalid. The fact that there are anons who think they know shit about funk and don't even know any artists beyond these nerds is concerning and explains the downfall of /mu/ to a T.

>>128351788
Literally everybody knows who James Brown is dude. Why do you think his music is better than Talking Heads?

>>128351772
>Animals that low
ridiculous
you're right about Electric Guitar though.

>>128351798
I'm pretty sure the average /mu/ user (a 14 year old NEET) hasn't listened to a song by James Brown or any black artist in general.
Because Talking Heads' vocals suck, their grooves are weak as shit, and their energy is all gay and impotent, while James is literally the opposite of all that.

>>128351818
You haven't actually listened to Talking Heads have you? If you had you would agree with me that Byrne's vocals are pretty great
Also then you're the second anon itt who said James Brown is better because he's sexy (contrasted with Talking Heads impotent energy). Interesting that for both of you the appeal is that he's a black bull

>>128351762
so you're a junkie because you can't get laid? lame.
Projection as defense is a weird phenomenon, but it doesn't surprise me a junkie would think it can work.

>>128350008
Name literally one album recommendation.
>>128351592
All three of those suck

>>128351835
At least you're funny. Byrne's vocals are autistic as fuck, and I've listened to like 75% of their discography. I like their more punkish, rock moments like Psycho Killer, but when they try to get groovy like in Remain in Light, they suck. I will admit Once in a Lifetime is a great song.

>>128351850
Who said I'm a junkie? Projection? Don't you see yours? Chill it with the psychic mind reading lol

>>128351883
>Byrne's vocals are autistic as fuck
Problem?

>>128351924
yeah, i like strong vocals, not nerdy, autistic mumbles. same reason why the pixies suck with el autismo fatass ruining every song with le reeeeeee

>yeah I like funk
>Talking Heads, James Chance, Tom Tom Club, David Byrne solo, the list goes on...

>white people can't be funk-

all those whiteboys you mentioned were unironic BBC lovers.

>>128351772
generally agreeable list, i'm glad someone else rates seen and not seen that high

>>128352624
>disrespecting our king Jerry
Forshame.

>>128339897
their backing band was pretty much funkadelic, at least for stop making sense

>>128346610
speaking of stop making sense, the whole band was fucked up on coke for the whole tour, and DB kept it in his dressing room

>>128351772
you're a son of a bitch for ranking anything off Little Creatures higher than (Nothing But) Flowers

>>128353482
>ranking anything off Little Creatures higher than (Nothing But) Flowers
Hey it's not an amazing album but it has great highs. Besides, Flowers isn't even the best on Naked.
>>128353476
>the whole band was fucked up on coke for the whole tour, and DB kept it in his dressing room
I hope this is true because if it is that's entirely badass.
And the fact that our king Jerry was so smooth / laid back while hopped up on coke just makes him even better than he already was.
