for funk you have to go back to the 70s. I would start with these three essentials:
- maggot brain by funkadelic
- mothership connection by parliament
- there’s a riot going on by sly and the family stone
my very own personal opinion but 1982 was the best year ever for funk. The synthesis of new age digital sounds with the analog was at a perfect point for that year and that year only. ask me and I will give you millions of suggestions.
