Funk This is the eleventh studio album by American singer Chaka Khan. It was first released by Burgundy Records on September 25, 2007, in the United States. On October 13, 2007, the album entered at its peak position of number fifteen on the Billboard 200 and number five on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. On December 6, 2007, the album was nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2008 Grammy Awards, while "Disrespectful" was nominated for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Both nominations resulted in wins for Khan.

The double A-side singles "Disrespectful" (featuring Mary J. Blige) and "Angel" were released to radio and made digitally available on iTunes in advance of the album release. Following the success of the initial double A-side single, the duet with Michael McDonald, "You Belong to Me", was released to radio, eventually peaking at number eighteen on the Hot Contemporary Jazz Songs chart.[1] The contemporary R&B ballad "One for All Time" reached number fifty-five on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[2]

Robert Christgau rated the album three out of five stars in his review for Rolling Stone. He found that "Khan has never bothered with great albums because she has such a great voice – juicy, airy, spunky, transported. Though she's fifty-four, it's also unfrayed, one reason this committed if never classic comeback makes its mark. Another is hot-no-more producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who add bite while discreetly leaving the songwriting to the likes of Hendrix, Prince, Sly Stone and the indelible Ed Townsend. Respect as well to Mary J. Blige's New York raspberry."[4]

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman felt that Funk This "sounds like much of it was recorded live, giving it a loose, not-fussed-over sound, though there are some questionable moves. [...] The covers do work more often than not, highlighted by Prince's 'Sign 'O' the Times' and Joni Mitchell's 'Ladies Man' (an unlikely but very smart choice). [...] Chaka sounds mostly excellent from track to track, especially during the more relaxed moments."[3]
