Kinda?

Oh yeah!! That Documentary was pretty tight! Just for the footage i've never saw before! if anyone knows how i can get my hands on some of that, orgnote me!

i did have a couple of grips with it, like TRUE funkateers such as members of Fishbone, Weapon of Choice and 24-7 spyz not being interviewed for this doc. IMO their opinions are just as valid as the rappers, probably more. At times the way it was put together seemed a bit amatuerish, but hey, i can't hate on it, since they were showing mad love to the P!

i think George described best the realm they entered when creating that funkadelic sound. OOGA BOOGA!! That sums it up perfectly!

I kinda was wondering about the rappers, too. Ice Cube really had nothing to add and plus, it don't take a love of P Funk to use the hell out of a sample. I kinda wish folks like Prince couldn't be interviewed. The cartoon character was on my last damn nerve.

Hey now, the person who did the animation is a friend of Dansa, be nice.

I dug it 'tho i was up for more performance footage. Jeanette Washington,was looking good. Nona Hendryx is still sexy for her age.
Seeing Glen Goins...man... Chuutch! George spaced out on a tab or two with a old hard schiltz malt liquor bull can in hand was funny as hell.

No, I'm not talking about the animation at all. Just the voice.

Aww man! you haven't heard T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M.?!?

i'll add that to your mix list!

Be Patient, i'm kinda slow.

i was laughing my ass off when i saw that! Do they still make that stuff? if so, i'll have to pick up a six pack.

OK..So which docu was better? The VH-1 "LEGENDS George Clinton" docu from 1999 or the PBS one?

b4 i go read this monster of a thread lemme get my quick two cents in...

first off, did pbs cut this?? cuz when it aired at the film festival i coulda swore i read it was like 2hrs, but if not it shoulda been hella longer, cuz it was good but it def. coulda been more. the animation in it is sooooo cute! and was that eddie griffin narrating? whoever it was did a great job!

Fantastic show..Highlights:

1) Never before seen footage of early 70's Funkadelic. George blasted out of his mind wearing makeup.

2) Interviews w/ the Funk Mob members you normally don't hear from..Boogie, Calvin, Fuzzy, Grady, Jeanette Washington (who still looks amazing), Dawn Silva, Pedro, Overton, Stozo.

3) The Rick James clips on his thoughts about P.

I'll just say this much. It was a good introduction to their story, but it easily should have been two hours long. George looks normal with the colorful long hair than in his doo-wop days.
I wish I could have witnessed a show back in the late 70's.


**Delete this one, sorry for the double post. I thought it didn't save**

That's valid, player. Fishbone and even more so, Weapon of Choice opinions are waaaay more valid than some knuckleheaded, non-playing ass cat who don't have sense enough to buy pants that fit. How in the fuck can u run away from the police when u trying to hold up your pants?

BOO!!
