Why is Sly Stone never talked about on the same level as Jimi

Because Funk is only remembered from Hip Hop samples or George Clinton.

To be a legend:

>1. Die
>2. Keep making GOAT shit
>3. Go crazy romantically

Sly chose to go crazy in a non-romantic sad way. No one wants to think about that shit.

miles davis, james brown, and jimi hendrix were on a completely different level than sly and the rest

I don't know about the others but I think people rate Sly about as high as Isaac Hayes.

It would be pretty impossible to overstate how GOAT this is.

The murky production and cold sterile mechanical drum beats and black as midnight hazy coke funk influenced everything from post-punk to electronic music to Miles Davis to Brian Eno to Prince to the Rolling Stones to Radiohead.

Because he's a crackhead now

>Velvet Underground & Nico
>There's a Riot Goin on
>Exile on Main Street

Pretty much the GOAT "THE 60'S ARE DEAD THE END IS NIGH" trilogy

He is respected just as much. Probably more then half of those who don't get talked about on here either.

I wish /mu/ talked about soul or funk at all.

Or folk or country or reggae or dub or afrobeat or garage rock or anything but meme rap and P4K core

Make threads about those genres you're interested in, there's people on /mu/ who are knowledgable and willing to to talk about those subjects
