Good bassline.

This is the best track so far.

I like the Mary Jane Girls.

They're loveable in a kitsch and korny way.

More Latin stylings.

Last track - Below the Funk (Pass the J).

This one's just too darn funky.

Back to the hi-energy stuff.

Did he just say he was born in Buffalo?

F bomb!

Yes, yes he was born in Buffalo.

Well, he was.

Tough old town.

It is ova.

Cold and violent.

Still is.

It is over.

Apart from the 7 minute snoozeathon, that was a very good album which avoided the pitfall of relying on groove alone to carry it along. This time, there were actual, proper, well-formed songs in there as well.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

I shall give it 4 stars.

Well, that was funkay.

★★★★


Actually thinking about it hadn't George Clinton gone all Computer games by now? So rather old fashioned in the very fast moving American Urban Music, even by 81.

Still,

Shame about that ballad.

That was quite good.

Did what it set out to do.

Musically never very original he was still cool as fl*p, had obvious talent and was a great performer.

His canon is a kind of summation of every funk and soul and R&B style that went before - considered objectively, not a bad thing by any stretch.


Shame about the white woman though.
