I thought I'd add this to bridge the gap...that way it doesn't seem as dramatic. I listen to the word up album a hell of a lot, but I could understand how people might see it as a sell out...
I used to hate a lot of the 80's funk but it grew on me over time.There is a definite shift between most funk bands 70's output and there 80's stuff--probably explained by the introduction of prince, crack, and hip hop. I find it so cheesy that it's funky.
Another good 80's funk song is bar kays-your place or mine.
