Interview with George Clinton here... http://www.avclub.com/chi...tim,38096/

Discussing Funk he says:

AVC: So it’s not so much a genre as it is an attitude?

GC: Yeah. Prince really could survive when he went into that mode of doing whatever he wanted to do, when he wanted to do it. That’s when you got the biggest. He was out on his own and he was lucky enough to have a lot of hits and he would do it when they weren’t about to play those records. So there comes a time when the media gets your ass out of there, because you can be too popular.

Thoughts?

I'll garantee, you that Prince let George Hear some of the BEST music he's EVER recorded and the big-wig people went against Prince releasing that kinda "shit"

Allow Prince complete freedom, the non-stress of his fans ("us").. and he'd realease the most impressive FUNKIEST, blah blah blah.. shit that we have ever heard.
