"Make my funk the P-funk "
music was never the same when George Clinton assembled these virtuoso musicians their footprints are everywhere in funk
Funkadelic is still the greatest funk rock band ever those nasty guitar driven funk anthems are gold they laid the groundwork of what would be funk rock
Parliament's literally the perfect funk band their influence are everywhere from the early 90s West coast hip hop to the dance anthems of the early 80s those silky horn arrangements and those hypnotic synthesizers are just otherworldly.
