George Clinton Reviews

These days, George Clinton is probably better known for his influence on others than for his own hits. Everyone from Dr. Dre tothe Red Hot Chili Peppers has credited his compositions in the 1970sand '80s as leader of Parliament/Funkadelic with providing abottomless source of elemental funk rhythms, verbal intricacy, andartful musical anarchy. But Clinton's recent solo recordings havebeen erratic, so it amounts to a pop-cultural event to hear that HeyMan.....

Sure, George Clinton's huge importance spans eras: R&B; in the 1950s and '60s, unprecedented '70s funk with Parliament (airy, melodic, laced with sci-fi lyrics) and Funkadelic (hard-rock guitar with anthemic vehemence). But it also spans job titles: singer, songwriter, bandleader, drug and sex humorist. As elemental as James Brown and as protean as the Beatles, he has created a galaxy of hits, ignored masterworks and amusing, tossed-off crap...

Long before the Bee Gees got all feverish over Saturday night, you'd have been hard-pressed to tell the difference between funk and disco in a police...erm 'musical genre' line-up. James Brown invented funk, so legend has it, with the mighty 'Cold Sweat' in 1967. In the thirty odd years since 'da phunk' has given us many legendary artists, classic Blaxploitation soundtracks, prompted the birth of hip hop and still fuels much of today's sampladelic dance music. Ahh Funk!.....

Despite George Clinton being synonymous with Funk, his latest effort "Gangsters of Love" feels incredibly flat and lifeless. Covering eleven timeless records (sans "Mathematics of Love," which is an original creation), George Clinton and Bobby Eli do a great job of producing the music for this album...

"Flash, why are you reviewing _Computer Games_ on RapReviews? That's NOT a rap album." Well dear reader you'd be right, technically speaking. George Clinton is not spitting bars anywhere on this CD, nor do any of the P-Funk musicians who helped him with this disc suddenly bust out a freestyle...

Half rap album the way so many rap albums these days are half P-Funk albums, it's never stronger musically than when one of a galaxy of rapping starchildren, most forcefully Humpty Hump and Ice Cube, is adding his or Yo Yo's natural rhythms to those of Uncle George, whose original-rapping was long ago extended technically by his extended family. For all their shows of militance, though, the kids's minds still haven't followed their asses as intrepidly as the old man's...

Some of his best jokes are rhythm parts, too, which isn't going to help the Thomas Dolby fans pick up on them. Oh well, they got their chance on Computer Games and Bit Fish and who bought those? The same tackheads who've always passed George their grift...

The best-of has always been a dubious consumer service: even when it's a genuine bargain, it allows bizzers to make money off the same music twice, and don't think they don't love every dollar of it. In this case one of the bizzers is the artiste, who already stuck two of these cuts onto that strange half-live, half-compilation "mini-album" earlier this year. There's not much arguing with the individual selections...

Conceptually, featured vocalist Vanessa Williams and Pedro Bell's Neegrow cover are the only coups. Lyrically you'll have to settle for pidgin pygmy here, title credo there, some fast-food jokes, and the cautionary "Cool Joe." Groovewise it's Clonesville. In short, George's flattest in a decade. And you'd still settle for it in Boise.
