Music as we know it would look a lot different (and less colorful) without the contributions of George Clinton. From his early musical beginnings in doo-wop and as a songwriter at Motown, the hugely prolific Clinton went on to form the bands Parliament and Funkadelic, two of the most important groups of the 1970s. With Clinton at the helm of their Mothership, they uprooted funk from its earthly origins, sending it into outer space. Having made P-Funk a household name, Clinton went on to build an impressive solo discography, all the while inspiring a legion of West Coast rap artists and holding the reins of a sensational band called the P-Funk All Stars.

We Love You Dr. Funkenstein, Your Funk is the Best
"FUNK IS ANYTHING YOU NEED TO DO TO SAVE YOUR LIFE AT THAT TIME, DO THE BEST YOU CAN AND THEN: FUNK IT"
George is a genius...don't sleep on the Supreme Universal Wisdom he drops!......for those with their Third Eye Open.
@@brotherdaryll1399 Funk beyond Compare!!! 1love
Actually, the nuances are important. It’s “Funk is anything it needs to be to be to save your life at the time. In other words, do the best you can and then FUNK it!
Once you’ve done the best you can in any situation ain’t nothing you can do, say funk it.
So you need to be able to say funk it without guilt, without anything.
“I’ve done the best I can. Now, let’s get down.”
_Sorry to be so picky, but the poetry of it says so much more.
This dude made me open my " Third Eye" when I was a young teenager.Thanks Mr.Clinton!!!!!
1.3K thumbs up from Funkateers, and 29 descendants of Sir Nose.
George is just wonderful. I love how modest he is, he never braggs on the fact that he completely took black music and gave it a real new direction. it was in a ditch just repeating itself and copying Motown. Also there was a "black"sound, and a "White" sound, and woe betide anybody who tried to get out of the groove expected of them! George said "fuck it", i'll take it where I want. LEGEND!!!
No, he said "Funk it!"
@@awllypollyas8292 thanks love to chat
IThanks mio
Iiooommoimoiiioooomoiiooomommoommoooomoomomo IOU on 🥰
Keep funk alive!. Waiting on the mother ship still.
George Clinton is one of my favorite artists. The Parilment Funkadelic is my favorite group. Every thing that George produce as a artist. Produce different artists as Bride of Funkinstin, Parlet and others. I"m glad that I had the opportunity to see the P-FUNK ALL-STARS.
A true influential musical legend if there ever was one.

My hero for real! I love that he lengthened his life so we can know what this great man of American rock was all about!

That's true but he is the doctor of the funk American funk DR, Funkenstein'
Nobody but it wasn't good until herk
Holla at Greg C:
The guy you referred as giving a boring interview is actually conducting an excellence interview. He asked very good questions and he allow George to tell his story from George's point of view. I guess we are so use to interviewers wanting to entertain rather than conduct a real interview. We get yellow journalism, gossip, tabloid. We can't handle this kind of interview.
This host is well research . . . as result we get superb interview. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this youtube clip. I like to see and hear more of this kind of interview.
Big up to Red Bull Music Academy!
He ain't boring, the interview is great. I personally think he could've gotten a little deeper on how was Detroit in late 1960's/ early 1970's, but that would be a detour from the actual point of the lecture. Other than that, great.
War
Benjamin Williams a.k.a: Da Scribbler , 👋🏽 TOTALLY agree!
I agree. Well done.
@Benjamin Williams Chairman Mao is a great interview conductor and very well researcher. I think that some people fixed on lack on enthusiasm and flatness. But in the true important issues of their interviews, is good
"A ring around your bath tub, a joint rolled in toilet paper. Man you listen real good"
That dude from 'the vanilla suburb' just got the highest praise from non other than George Clinton. I hope that boy appreciates the gravity of that and I got a feeling he does.
Love him he is so important to his work. And music. Hip hop I grew up on his music.
People need to recognize that P-Funk
Is a Movement, and not just a concert.
That's why REAL hardcore P-Funk headz reefer (refer) it as the Parliament Funkadelic Movement!
I love you George.
The King of Funk Mr. George Clinton Dr. funkenstein one of the best interviews I've ever experienced
Who needs the funk? WE ALL NEED THE FUNK! Funk it UP!
He's gonna turn this mutha out
They played all over the
world.
They began their career
back in the 1950s.
Originally known as The
Parliaments named after
a carton of cigarettes.
They had a hit called
"Testify" from 1967.
Man, as a HUGE fan and veteran of a TON of shows over the years...this is an INCREDIBLE interview. And HOLY CRAP Overton Lloyd!!!
George speaks a lot of facts that a lot of old head rappers or old school fans don't understand. For you to stay relevant you have to be up on what's new. If you're not then before you know it you just might become obsolete.
GC dropped an entire "creative process" advanced studies class on this video. Wowwwwww
GODFATHER!!
Without Jazz, Blues, and Rock wouldnt be no music period as we know it.
Its all SOUL MUSIC.
karljjr where did those genres come from?
@@curtiswallen549tribal music an chants
Great interview. They need a movie ASAP.
Yes most definitely they do and I mean a full movie just on them because they have a movie coming out called Casablanca gold but it features everybody who was on the Casablanca label
"THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN"...BLESSINGS OF HU...PEACE Y'ALL
Listen up... This guy is as real as it gets. Love the post!
I grew up listening to and staring at parliament albums ...I didn't realize how much I have in common with George when it comes to creating music...I feel honored to have the same creative spirit as this man
That's true. You shouldn't
compare yourself to other
people.
Kiss & P- Funk were two
different acts.
Except one thing George
played several characters.
he the greatest of all time
We Want That Funk! Gotta Have That Funk!
When you know you are doing your best and giving it your all, then there's nothing left to do with your best other than FUNK IT UP.
This brought me life
Much love to the bosses that came with the concept of FUNK.
LOL 😂 Gorge is real about his vices ( doesn’t give a shit) he puts it out there.
They clap for EVERYTHING
Thank you for the futuristic funk we love funkadelic
Watching in 2021---Have seen George many times---Awesome Concerts🥰
Amazing videos of Parliment funkadelic since 67...
This dude is still alive
He will live forever 🤘🏽
Wow, Bless you George!!!!!!! Glad I got to track drums with once!!!!!
wow!
These lectures are treasure! KEEP DA FUNK ALIVE ! ! !
Yes, awsome interview.
George is wearing his OG uniform today
The best interviewer
Jimmy Jim Hendricks did it by his-self.Took it back.
Simply funky...I know that mic stankin'...George seems like the kinda funk'sa that doesn't use mouthwash just 2 keep it funky!
Spoken like a true ZEN master of the FUNK.....#FUNK4LIFE
Awesome lecture, was hoping he'd ask about when George worked with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Great interview by the greatest funkster
When they said--can you imagine Doobie in your Funk--that was playing the dozens, Jones, crackin' (wise cracks)...they could have said, (The Rolling Clones) the concept is very prolific...and it caught on world wide...
"I'll give you more than what you're funkin for......feet don't fail me now"
Great interview with a great guy!!
He inspired the culture ❤️
George’s words on Eddie Hazel’s Masterpiece @26:42.
8 minutes in and I can't wait.
George helped pioneer hip hop, punk rock, new wave, techno, electronica, g funk, every gorm of hip hop crunk, hyphy, political,.aftopunk,.afro futurism and did i miss anything
This is awesome!
George tells his stories about P- Funk.
Yes , thank you , thank you , thank you . Genius
Clinton very modest about his contribution to music and funk , man as a Godfather
Papa George !
i meet georgeclition in dayton he told me my head was funcky i was so happy to meet him
Shoutout to Rance Allen! That voice!
wow this man is a goddam genius, you would think he would be a inchoerently rambling mess but he's a legend
+domeskeetz incoherent rambling messes don't write and produce 100's of albums, sometimes several per year.
GC has a rep but no one has said he wasn't a seriously hard worker, in the studio nearly all the time back in the day. all but lived there and on the road, playing 2-4 hours every show.
domeskeetz ...you would only think that if you don't know GC an all he has done...
Glad to have found this.
That was a great interviewer
We Want The Funk was inspired by David Bowie's song, Fame. Wow..
I remember when Sly came to Plainfield back in the 70s 😂😂😂😂In the projects
Wow wow wow loved every minute
DA MASTER PERIOD
I also believe?! Jimi was looking for that sound? Eddie and Bernie Masters of sound. George, was from another planet?! Always had a catch phrase, title? He put into words black people dare not say?! Right The Funk On!?
FunkaGenius💋
Excellent interview
Thanks for this. Legend.
Dope!
Always speaks sense.
Absolutely right about Jimi.
GC and JB the GOATs.
George Clinton is 100% raw. I love that.
OG
DR. FUNKENSTEIN HIMSELF !!!
I love P Nut. Nice acknowledgement. Robert is the coolest.
Низкий поклон и крепкого здоровья, Джорджу Клинтону!!!!
The new mothership continues on on on
good job
I love this✌🏽👦🏽🙏🏾🖤❤💚🎸🔊🎶🎶🎶🛸
💜💜💜💜💜
This Mothership is a Time Machine?!
I can't even put into thoughts what this man and the whole p-funk crew means to me it's just too deep .
legend
Wow wow Bobby Brown looks like George Clinton LOL I'm looking at George Clinton now and I can see Bobby Brown LOL well we know that George's much older than Bobby so Bobby looks like George Clinton he could probably play him in a movie
Tell it George. P. on it
Thanks!
Nothing but the dog! Living God!
Longevity comes from loving.
His title is
Dr. George Edward Clinton JR. P.H.D.
This Guy Missed Every Opportunity He Was Given To Ask Great ?’s After George Spoke. Like Are You Working With Anyone From The Past On Any New Stuff Especially The New Mothership Connection. Among Other Things, Like Why Everyone Blames Him About The Money Issues, Not Saying He Did Or Didn’t Take. He Could’ve Went Deeper With Some Things Real Fans Want To Know. He Was Cool, But If He Was So “ Great “ Like I’m Reading Why Was He Constantly Looking Down At His PC & List. That’s Not Professional Interviewing & Not The Great GC. George Was Wide Open And Willing To Answer Some Real Questions We As Fans Have About Songs Made, Who Wrote What, The Other Group’s, Bernie, Bootsy’s Roll As A Producer, Gary, Glen, Big Foot And On And On....... P-Funk Is The Greatest Band In The Galaxy!!!!🤘🏽
Dr. Funkenstein is a genius
Wheres the Junie Morrison comments timestamp please
Flatbush ave. Park side home town🏅🏅🏅🏅✋👋🏼🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
🧡🧡🧡
The main man
Papa George giving "bad" advices since the 50's...
Does anyone know if that Mothership tour he is talking about ever actually happened after this?
Ive seen a lot of live footage of his past few tours and, I dont see a mothership.
