I once heard an muso-academic type describe them as "funky" and "fonky" respectively, which is dumb but as good a way of saying it as any
tho - to focus in a bit from that broadness - it's really a spectrum with JB at one end + P-funk at the other
i.e. your cited examples would go: James Brown----Meters----Sly Stone----Funkadelic

James Brown is definitely funky - if Cold Sweat, Hot Pants, The Payback etc isn't funky, literally nothing is funky. he is funk + funk is him.
George Clinton isn't always funky - tho more often than folks are crediting here - but his galaxy of projects is intrinsically fonky
Different, seemingly opposed philosophical approaches to reach the same goal
The dialectic of funk - Tighten Up vs. Free Your Mind + Your Ass Will Follow - united as one nation under a groove

but "black Frank Zappa" is indeed harsh and unfair
Clinton + co. single-handedly invented the sound of g-funk and were a massive influence on the entire 80s electro-funk continuum
and you have to reckon his example for other orchestrator oddballs like Patrick Adams
not to mention their contributions to Afrofuturism (Aqua Boogie + Paul Gilroy = Drexciya)
Zappa influenced any time people want to take a perfectly functional genre-sound and make it gratuitously progressive
and think on this - if George Clinton is black Frank Zappa then Sun Ra is the original black Frank Zappa (or maybe Moondog is the white Sun Ra)

not that I'm surprised P-F isn't as popular around here - too rock, heavy guitars, etc
Eddie Hazel one of the worthiest inheritors of Jimi's legacy i.e. 1983 A Merman points directly to Maggot Brain
and this is his All Along the Watchtower repurposed blow the doors wayyyy off the original moment
only better cos you haven't heard it 10000 times and the built-in 70s>>>60s advantage

tbf every Clinton-related thing has filler - some are all filler
but then JB was a singles man himself

Can turn naughty
Growing up listening to a lot of breaks based dance music made it difficult to get how P Funk with its straight beats could be considered funky. Thinking that Clyde stubblefield and jabo starks were the be all and end all. But after getting into electro and boogie it all started to make more sense. The funk was coming from Bootsy, Bernie & Eddie. Then I remembered I loved snoop and dre's first albums and it was like coming back home.
And Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin On is one of the funkiest lps ever made.
