Are RHCP proof that white people cannot into funk?
they are proof to the contrary
>>73352078
BSSM is a classic album
They had some good pop rock tunes but I never felt they were good as a straight funk band, there was always some intangible quality they were missing.

this
>>73352092
and this, you took his best album to make a meme out of them but failed miserably
I've always liked can't stop
Slow cheetah and hard to concentrate and snow are good too
It might not be all that good as pure funk (which it's not even trying to be), but that doesn't mean it's not a great album.

>>73352092
this, its backed with great songs from front to back.
too bad you can fit all their great songs from the rest of their albums after it onto just one album
I was just listening to Wild & Peaceful, and I actually find Jungle Boogie my least favorite track.
>its a John has a few problems but hes trying his best episode
BSSM and OHM are the only Chilies albums where Flea has a decent tone because he didn't use meme basses on them.

flea really shines on "one hot minute". if there's any album he should get credit for, it's that one
The riff on Suck My Kiss is pounding stuff, John definitely lost some of his edge after recovering from drugs.

RHCP is pedo rock on the level of Lostprophets. Kiedis has to be investigated ASAP, we can still save some of his victims.
>>73352281
He did nothing any other rock star going back to Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis didn't do.

isn't it about time you post that nick cave quote?
>>73352521
He could always just post the Christgau reviews of RHCP.
>>73352174
Kool & The Gang aren't bad but I never liked Rick James. His voice just annoys me and I really don't care for Superfreak.
Gary Wilson is proof white people can into Funk (but only if it's weird)
White people can do funk. Just not RHCP.

I think they're proof white people can do funk - or at least, funk rock. The vocal stylings of Anthony aren't that great, but you'd be crazy if you didn't think Flea, John, and Chad (or even Flea, Dave, and Chad) couldn't make a good funk song.
Even black people can't into funk nowadays (Bruno Mars's corporate elevator music doesn't count).
Why. Why do you need to infect everything with identity politics
>>73352703
people have been joking about the chili peppers being white people funk for the past 30 years m8
>>73352837
Average White Band's name was because they were deliberate making fun of themselves for being white funksters.
The best Chilies album is The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, just straight, clean, high-speed funk rock and it's the only album where all four of the original members played on.
always felt like the stone roses did white funk best

He is a fucking Pochohantas
>>73353920
Anthony is half Amerindian, half Lithuanian-American.
>>73352260
definitely not, have you heard his solo albumz?
You guys dont like Freaky Styley?
>>73352206
What exactly is a meme bass?
>>73352454
It was never alive
>>73352078
No they are pretty good. Freaky Styley is pure funk produced by George Clinton. BSSM is great too. Even Scaruffi gave it a 7/10 and said it's the 5th best funk album ever. RHCPs early work is great. They just get attacked for their mainstream output.

I'd rather have the lil Puke threads since they are obviously posted ironically than this garbage posted with intent to be discussed
"Flea in all seriousness isn't that good. I mean, come on. RHCP were vaguely interesting in the late 80s, but Christ, they fucking suck, they suck."
-- Trevor Dunn
They stopped being a funk rock band after One Hot Minute. That's when they started their Singing Chimpanzee Sings Boring Shit -phase. Sad!
