He just pioneered art funk.

This is art funk. Prove me wrong

Yes, there was never an artistic funk album until the god of soul music Donald Glover came along.

If anything he reintroduced it to the mainstream, which could be a pioneering moment on it's own.

More like Psychedelic Soul amirite?

you're wrong, prove me wrong

>>69715649
Art.
Funk.

Tpab is a rap album with funk influences but aml is a legit funk album

gr8 b8 m8

>>69715442
I don't know what it is, but it's a damn good album.

your average person on /mu/ has probably never heard an excess of five funk and/or soul records in their life

>>69715442
"Damn this celebrity sure made great album! His TV show is great too!"

Come the fuck on, /mu/. His album might be passable but it's not thing with discussing.

>>69716766
Just because he's more recently acting a lot, doesn't mean he isn't a musician first and foremost.

>>69715442
It was p-bad desu senpai, if you disagree you have not listened to much this year...

>>69716774
I listened to plenty this year. I just thought the vocals and guitar playing were really nice on this record.

>>69716798
not him, but you apparently didn't listen to enough funk records from this year if you think Awaken my love is any cornerstone or some kind of achievement

>>69716815
I didn't say it was, and I didnt listen to any funk records. I'm mostly into rock and rap and a huge pleb. That being said, I really liked the album for what it is.

>>69716798
hahahahah, pleb....

>>69716826
oh, sorry I thought you were OP

>>69716772
But is he?

Not to discredit him outright - I'm just skeptical of most actors-turned-muscisians.

more like tv sitcom music supervisor funk

>>69716772
Becoming a musician after being an actor for years makes you a musician first and foremost?

otherwise known as stripped down rich white girl funk

he didn't pioneer shit. he's literally the biggest copycat of the music industry. i'm pretty sure 80% of his fanbase are white cucks with no personality.

he basically just meme'd the shit out of Prince and called it an album.

Ersatz Funk

George Clinton pioneered "art funk" a long time ago.

Sly Stone came first.
