Artist Overview
While his genre-defying classic bands Parliament and Funkadelic were mired in legal woes and personnel disarray, funk pioneer George Clinton finally went solo in the 1980s with a series of bizarre, colorful albums. Clinton shifted away from the organic big-group chaos of his seminal '70s work, and instead began to utilize all the newer technology, whether it be synths or samples, and inadvertently paved the way for the nascent hip-hop movement. The acid-fried funk on albums like COMPUTER GAMES and SOME OF MY BEST JOKES ARE FRIENDS may have taken its cue from the new kidz, but was still 100% George Clinton in all his funkified psychedelic glory.
