Thanks smidogg - had that CD for years now. It is afro-funky stuff though. Kind' Fela Kuti-ish with a touch more James Bown influence. I saw Fela Kuti in France a long time ago - bad azz band. Manu Dibango too - that cat can blow. Big afro-funk sound.
Yeah, 'Antibalas' - those cats are cool! tight sound too...
Man where's the new funkmasters? Hip-hop and rap are getting less funky all the time.
When's Sly's new CD coming out? Clinton's new CD is cool - 'How Late Do U have 2 B B 4 U R Absent' - especially the cut with Prince (way stinky). Prince's new CD is OK but I thought 'Musicology' was funkier. Morris Day's last 'new' thing is cool - especially 'My Ride' with E-40 - fat groove. T.O.P.'s last CD is killer - hope they come out with a new one soon...
Who got da' funk anymore??????

I'm a Blackalicious fan. "Broken Arrow" and "The Craft" are pretty good. You should check out their stuff, they have a ton of artists they work with and some of their compilations are phenomenal:

Cool fluoride....yeah I don't have 'the Craft' yet...samples sound good...I do like their taste in funkiness though - got all their other stuff. Their first stuff was pretty funky.

LOL, Some of my students were big on grilles.
A grille is a metal dental ornament, usually gold plated, taht looks something likea retainer but is just for looks.
They tend to get banned at school.
Some kids would make thier own out of foil, or cuewing fum wrappers to fool you.
Can't tell you how many tomes I said things like, "Charles put the grille in your pocket.
IT's a black thing, excuse me, a black kid thing, the adults think a grille is pretty dumb.
Now you know, white bread, LOL!!!!!!!

The Coup's older stuff still had the funk. Try "Kill My Landlord" if you can find it.

I love the old funk, but dont know any funk bands of today. As for other genres picking up some influences and carrying it on, i can recommend a few artists. As for hip hop, outkast and particularly their older stuff is packed full of funk and classic funk samples with some southern flow over the top. Also their is this great reggae band that i think sounds, farely funky for a reggae band, and they are john brown's body.
cheers,
