Lately I've been on this huge Funk and Afrobeat kick thanks to certain leather jacket doctor. So, listening to these tracks over the course of three weeks I've come to realize why Hip Hop and French House sample from this genre all the time. It all starts with the bass. Get a nice pair a of speakers and really hear it. It's alive and so energetic. There probably is some physiological explanation why booming low frequency = booty shaking. It gently rubs up next to you and caress you into a rhythmic slide. Then we come to the drumming. If you seriously want to know how influential funk drumming watch the video. Then we have guitar playing its rhythmic hooks and occasional soulful solos.
Funk represents balance. A balance so strong that can shake the sands of time covering up our petty differences. Funk.
dude, everyone knows, doctors do not wear leather jackets
