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.
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.
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!!!
REALLY TO BE HONEST YALL THIS WAS A HISTORY LESSON THAT I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET.I TRULY LEARNED SOME THINGS THAT I NEVER KNEW BEFORE.THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE MR.CLINTON SPOKE OF IS A WHO'S WHO IN MUSUC HISTORY.I ENJOY THIS SO MUCH.
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.
@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.
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!
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
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.
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
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!?
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...
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
+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.
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.
The Albums Mothership Connection, The Clones of Dr Funkenstein and Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Syndrome are concept albums deeply rooted in Kemetic Spirituality. Mothership Connection = The Gods coming back to awaken people who have been oppressed and asleep and do not realize who they are. The Clones = The creation of the gods original people. The Placebo Syndrome = The Matrix, where we are now. Starchild tells Sir Nose to dance. Starchild also says, "There's a picture within a picture, behind a picture. Which means that this world is a reflection of many other worlds which you can ascend to. He is telling Gods people to remember who you are and take back the funk (i.e. the God in you). The Flashlight is the light that comes from the One (The Absolute, God). Getting over the "hump"refers to his chosen the need to get past the cusp, the rainbow. Which scientist refer to as the cusp of magnetosphere( th-cam.com/video/fQH4CaKImzw/w-d-xo.html ).. Now those who have the gift are blinded by the mainstream (Sir Nose). If you open your Third Eye (which is what LSD,Weed, DMT) does, it becomes clear for those who are chosen. Why do you think they made it illegal and black people are the ones who are targeted the most. LSD was legal during the 60's and that was the time when most of the civil rights movement made its greatest gains. Think! It Ain't Illegal Yet.
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!!!!🤘🏽
"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.

I agree. Well done.

Hi mr.Clinton loved from the 70 'S.MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS.AN NOW IN MY 60TH...
The King of Funk Mr. George Clinton Dr. funkenstein one of the best interviews I've ever experienced
"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.
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!!!
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!
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
I love you George.

Keep funk alive!. Waiting on the mother ship still.
Who needs the funk? WE ALL NEED THE FUNK! Funk it UP!
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.
They sounded like
The Temptations.
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.
"THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN"...BLESSINGS OF HU...PEACE Y'ALL
GODFATHER!!
Listen up... This guy is as real as it gets. Love the post!
he the greatest of all time
These lectures are treasure! KEEP DA FUNK ALIVE ! ! !
GC dropped an entire "creative process" advanced studies class on this video. Wowwwwww
1.3K thumbs up from Funkateers, and 29 descendants of Sir Nose.
This brought me life
Watching in 2021---Have seen George many times---Awesome Concerts🥰
Amazing videos of Parliment funkadelic since 67...
Thank you for the futuristic funk we love funkadelic
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
Wow, Bless you George!!!!!!! Glad I got to track drums with once!!!!!

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.
They clap for EVERYTHING
Great interview by the greatest funkster
Much love to the bosses that came with the concept of FUNK.
Great interview with a great guy!!
LOL 😂 Gorge is real about his vices ( doesn’t give a shit) he puts it out there.
Spoken like a true ZEN master of the FUNK.....#FUNK4LIFE
We Want That Funk! Gotta Have That Funk!
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!?
Simply funky...I know that mic stankin'...George seems like the kinda funk'sa that doesn't use mouthwash just 2 keep it funky!
This is awesome!
The best interviewer
This dude is still alive
He will live forever 🤘🏽
He inspired the culture ❤️
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...
George’s words on Eddie Hazel’s Masterpiece @26:42.
8 minutes in and I can't wait.
Awesome lecture, was hoping he'd ask about when George worked with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
George is wearing his OG uniform today
Clinton very modest about his contribution to music and funk , man as a Godfather
i meet georgeclition in dayton he told me my head was funcky i was so happy to meet him
Yes , thank you , thank you , thank you . Genius
"I'll give you more than what you're funkin for......feet don't fail me now"
Shoutout to Rance Allen! That voice!
I remember when Sly came to Plainfield back in the 70s 😂😂😂😂In the projects
Wow wow wow loved every minute
Excellent interview
Thanks for this. Legend.
Jimmy Jim Hendricks did it by his-self.Took it back.
Glad to have found this.
DA MASTER PERIOD
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
Papa George !
Absolutely right about Jimi.
Dope!
wow this man is a goddam genius, you would think he would be a inchoerently rambling mess but he's a legend

Низкий поклон и крепкого здоровья, Джорджу Клинтону!!!!

That was a great interviewer
George Clinton is 100% raw. I love that.
We Want The Funk was inspired by David Bowie's song, Fame. Wow..

GC and JB the GOATs.
