How come the modern black man has all but abandoned soul and funk? Been listening to a lot 70s funk and it's better than any hip-hop ever produced. Better rhythmically, far more complex in composition, great instrumentation and singing.

the genre got stagnated. only relevance of funk today is getting sampled in some rap and house music

>Better rhythmically, far more complex in composition, great instrumentation and singing.
There's your answer. Hip-hop is easy to make and the public eats it up

Soul and Funk is gay.
Prove me wrong.

how come the modern white man has all but abandoned european folk music?

too hard to learn instruments n doesnt pull enough pussy or gear

R&b still has some presence

last time I checked Anderson Paak is super relevant

More expensive to produce
Harder to market to younger demographics
Off the top of my head

I don't think modern black music is bad, but for the sake of argument, I'll say it is. I would rather have black musicians experiment with new genres than have every new artist be highly derivative of old styles, especially with all modern white music seeming pastiche.

you don't know any black men

He really sucks over anything that isn’t knxwledge production

>There's your answer. Hip-hop is easy to make and the public eats it up
Sadly, this.

Because you have to actually know how to play an instrument.

You are an idiot, they are easily responsible for more heterosexual relations than any other form of music but opera.
Yeah I said opera nigga come at me but learn to read books first.

last time i checked his music is highly derivative hot garbage

you only listen to the funk/soul good enough to have people still talk about it.
there is so much shitty, derivative, soulless less 70's funk out there.
there's a bunch of shitty, derivative, soulless rap out there today. but there are good albums that will be remembered positively.
be a little more open minded, a little more inquisitive, and a little less presumptuous.

recommend me some im building a backlog and I could use some of this shit

>but there are good albums that will be remembered positively.
lol. modern rap will be remembered like 70s soft rock.

>especially with all modern white music seeming pastiche.
>Greta Van Fleet is the entirety of modern white music

I dunno about funk, but the big-voiced divas of old honed their craft belting out gospel tunes as kids. Church attendance became less of a thing for the generations that came up after the 50s-60s.

Funk, soul, and R&B is all crap. Beautiful voices, boring songs. The best thing soul music ever did was be sampled in hip-hop.

kill yourself

Rock is pretty much all 60s-90s revival

It's really not cost effective to have those big multipiece funk ensembles like Kool & The Gang anymore, it hasn't been since the start of the 80s. You could make the argument that black kids don't pick up instruments like their grandfather did, there's probably some truth in that.

And yes, there was a ton of shitty funk back in the day and even the big names were typically very inconsistent and had a habit of padding out albums with paint-by-numbers ballads.

The mid-70s was the best era of funk. Early decade stuff is too politicized and late decade most groups lost it and sold out to disco.

OP's pic is a classic. Stand out track.

Chambers Brothers psych funk masterpiece. You've likely heard the opening couple of minutes of this song a thousand times, but stick with it to see how wild and inventive it gets.
