Wow, you were not kidding. They are one hell of a live band.
I'm pretty new to them but I'm getting the vibe their goofy jokes are pure cockiness.
Which is kind of the essence of funk! People being silly and then pulling off an amazing bass solo.
It's that kind of "That's right, I'm a little funny cause I know I got it going on"

Sidebar: fuckin looooooooooooooooooove Madlib. Here's a random interview from France that shows just how much he respects the artists he samples. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yQ0pBCzckw&ab_channel=radiofrance

Watching this thread btw, I love this style of funk and not the garbage one that's more common in Brasil known as funk carioca. I'll post some of my favorite songs a bit later since I'm still going through the replies.

Don't think I have all that much to add but here's a few of the ones I like.

First up I want to introduce people to Chromeo, they like to call themselves funklords so I thought it would be appropriate. Here are some of their songs I think were pretty good:





Finally these great songs from Space Dandy, I think this would be classified as funk or disco.


Junk Fujiyama has some good shit too, recommend his works as well.

I could have sworn that I heard this song being sung by somebody with a deeper voice somewhere but I can't find that version anywhere.

Love blues so I've been listening to a lot of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's 70's funk tracks lately:






His earlier blues tracks and even his later funk stuff are all just brilliant.
