Funkadelic "DISS" record

I was just listening to the song LETS TAKE IT TO THE STAGE by Funkadelic..is that the first "diss" record recorded?
They make fun of "Fool and the Gang", "Dufus"(Rufus), "The God Mother/Grandfather"(The God Father-James Brown),"Slick and the Family Prick(Sly and the Family Stone), Earth Hot Air and No Fire(EWF)

Has anyone heard this song before?
Is there any other funk diss records out there from the 70's?

Nah, George Clinton worships JB.

It sounded to me like a tongue-in-cheek record, as opposed to a "Diss" record.

If wanna hear DISS records, you should hear what Shirley Brown, Barbara Mason, Betty Davis and Richard "Dimples" Fields sang about EACH OTHER.

I tell ya, its like a Soul soap opera on WAX nod

is that the one where Richard did "She Got Papers" and then one of the lady's did a song called "I got papers on him" where the lady talks about the clothes he wears and the car he drives, she bought?

Also, do you remember when some r&b girl in the 90's remade "Woman To Woman" and Shirley Brown did a song back to her called "You Aint Woman Enough?"

George had stated before that the tune and the album was dedicated to their boogie funk competition

So it pretty much was a diss tune...

EWF wasn't thrill about it at that time.. lol


He also takes a jab at Doobie Brothers on P.Funk (Want To Get Funked Up) biggrin

I know that version well!

What was she referring to on the intro?

"Do you remember when I said she's got the papers, and I got the man?"

Is that some other song I should be hip to?
