Who are the funkiest P-Funk spin-off act?

Hey the only things I have are a Mutiny comp., the Dawn Silva CD and ofcourse, all the Eddie Hazel solo stuff.

imo I still think Mutiny have crafted some of the funkiest tracks of all time, but this CD is now becoming dangerously close to being overplayed...I need replacement therapy NOW!

Any ideas?

Before Eddie died, he did some live shows with a band who called themselves "The New Funkadelic". They did one show here in Philly, that I would say was the ultimate Funkadelic show. I don't know much about the members but that they were much younger than Eddie, and they were nailing the classic Funkadelic songs.

Junie Morrison---check out his lps Bread Alone and Techno Freqs. Some of the nastiest P-Funk ever!!

The Sweat Band---Freak to Freak on Uncle Jam Records

The Inc. Thang Band---Lawd have mercy hold your nose it's so funky,.

Jimmy G and The Tackheads---This is Clinton's younger brother. The lp is a P-Funk classic.

Ruth Copeland---My this is the baddest P-Funk ever!!! You can find this at the www.funkstore.com. Highly recommended. This was recorded in the late 60s or early seventies funky white girl.
