funk proibidão (funk of grand prohibition), which is the most notorious of all funk genres, as the lyrics primarily deal with drugs, sex, crime and glorify these and other explicit topics - the name proibidão is used because this particular type of funk is illegal, with the sale and performances usually being kept secret and off the radar - a popular funk proibidão artist is mc magrinho as well as mr. catra.

funk obsceno is a subgenre that can be related to proibidão & obsceno seeing as topics usually sung about include, but are not limited to, sexual and explict acts - the lyrics use language and expressions associated to these subjects and can at times be exceptionally descriptive and sound effects can be also very vivid - dancing to this type of funk can generally mimic the words and sounds.
