George Clinton Drops Gems On Cardi B's Success, Wu-Tang, & Hip Hop

[@queenofweaves916]

Great interview this man is a black music icon. You can't talk the history of black music in America without mentioning this brotha.

[@user-tk7rl6hw6c]

Queenofweaves FACTS

[@mattadrev471]

I would take it a little more broad and say "Music Icon" - his influence spread across all genres of music. But of course he is a black creative icon - right up there with James Brown, Prince and others. I am SURE Prince was influenced by Parliment/Funk

[@skyntyte]

Prince said it several times

[@lisarandolph5037]

Music historian! Great!

[@hvjcv]

just say MUSIC ICON... he is a MUSIC ICON period.

[@mrstecstash]

Cardi B should feel proud this man mentioned her name

[@Bleek17Six]

Legendary... Give this man his flowers while he's still here

[@brettclouse5905]

I like where you're going with this. Put George Clinton on Drink Champs cause N.O.R.E. Does 3hrs. interviews. And I believe George Clinton is the 3rd most sample artist in Hip Hop history besides James Brown & Curtis Mayfield R.I.P. to both but George is still alive. N.O.R.E will get more insight from George than Hot 97 sorry to say this. But still 3hrs won't be enough.

[@tellemtrev]

Brett Clouse we hear you but you gotta relaaaax lol

[@omarscruggs7471]

Nore wouldnt cut him off as much neither. much respeck bredrin

[@tristannagan8690]

I'm a 20 year old rapper/musician from South Africa and I gotta say George Clinton is 1 of my biggest musical influences... glad he's still around to drop gems and educate the new generation if they willing to listen

[@georgemoore5414]

Hot97 y’all get mad points for doing this interview!!! What this man did for music along with bootsy Bernie Worrell rip and junie Morrison rip is incredible

[@patkelly3966]

Damn Uncle George Clinton! I first saw him in House Party and just thought he was a funny character but once I got older and started hearing Parliament and Funkadelic records I came to realise what a true Legend he is. Peace uncle George. Edited to say 'Is' instead of 'was'

[@Psmoove87]

I got the chance to see this legend in person performing....His stage presents will never be duplicated....ever....the sounds that were played that night in Orlando can make u high without drugs.

[@pricelesskaye8456]

I’ve researched far and wide on the Genius of Mr George Clinton and everything that embodies the Parliament Funkadelic funk. Our culture has been shaped by this man. All that he’s been through, the evil in the music business he has witnessed, it is truly fascinating. It’s so sad that they had to fight their whole life for the music they created. Hip hop would be nothing without his and all the folks who contributed to our music,

[@user-tk7rl6hw6c]

The legend ! Parliament Funkadelic! Ladies & Gentlemen.... GEORGE CLINTON

[@BrickCity_101]

GEORGE CLINTON NEEDS A BIOPIC ASAP True Musical ICON #LEGEND!!

[@mzeasha2]

BrickCity101 yes he does!!!

[@mattadrev471]

sooo true! But who knows the history well enough? Who from their team remembers it all

[@chaunt100]

Mos def would be the perfect george Clinton

[@frankel7715]

BrickCity101 word bro

[@patrickthompson8302]

word

[@barshookshiphoptv3727]

Godfather of FUNK! Snoop whole sound was G-Funk Doggystyle was nothing but FUNK! Dr. Dre EPMD Pac Redman Ice Cube Biggie Warren G Da Brat Outkast all brought a little FUNK to HipHop

[@morrishawkins9659]

george clinton, ron isley, charlie wilson, ojays etc.. we don’t have to many legends left.. glad i can experience these cats n my lifetime

[@justmap33]

Best hot97 interview ever. Salute to Mr Clinton very knowledgeable and up to date .

[@aboutthatlife1646]

I met him while working at Hudson's Dept Store in Detroit back in the day!!! Amazing guy! Dude is Legend!!!!

[@mr.e574]

My man. Parents raised me on the funk.

[@Shaynesnypes]

Legends 🤘 I could listen to him tell music stories all day. Dope interview 👌

[@authentic76]

George Clinton looks like T Pain in about 40 years...

[@tommymontana9464]

Clinton looking good dude gotta be at least 74 or 75, weird seeing him without his funkadelic costume, he looks drug free

[@whoisSashaJolie]

Musical genius and an international musical LEGEND!! It's kind of insulting to give him accolades and then limit them to his ethnicity. He is a LEGEND. FULL STOP.

[@217champion]

IamSashaJolie And he still touring .

[@jjhutube]

i've been having an incredibly shitty week (a couple of deaths, illnesses and my school responding terribly to all of this). i saw this interview pop up on my feed, and it truly made my day cause atomic dog was my grandpa's favorite song. every time i hear it, i feel like it's my Grandpa's way of checking in. corny, i know lol...but honestly, this was soooo timely. thank you!

[@EchoSlim]

I hope you get through these tough times. Much love.

[@ladyofluxury6344]

jjh hopes for a better week.

Uncle George!! Well done Ebro and the team. Great interview with a legend. This man and his bands will always be the absolute truth! 🔊

[@calvinmuhammad6963]

one nation under a groove

[@ray1411]

This was so beautiful They showed him respect and George was such a seasoned professional

[@juvieboston254]

I enjoyed this interview immensely,best one yet.it helps the culture to have such interviews

[@lnb1970]

I can't remember seeing George Clinton on Friday Night Videos. Did you mean, New York Hot Tracks, Ebro? That was the show that was hosted by Carlos De Jesus from 92 WKTU. It came on channel 7, the ABC affiliate in New York.

[@armoriya]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview of Mr. George Clinton, the King of P-Funk!!!

[@paulf144]

Man, he seems very personable and very forward thinking. He is living life!

[@zivaray]

When Clinton said being high was the PREREQUISITE I laughed so hard!!!!!!!

[@PAHZAZZ]

I believe if Hot 97 starts to interview guys like this it's an excellent idea you still got the Isley Brothers out here several guys who did music 30 40 years ago that is still alive man you can interview them we can get all the secrets cuz they willing to talk what I love about George Clinton and a lot of his guys they was always willing to share the music even if they didn't always get paid much respect PAHZAZZ RADIO IS MY CHANNEL CHECK THE MUSIC!!!!

[@bigjosh9364]

Hell yea

[@brettclouse5905]

Wish Hot 97 would of gotten George Clinton to give up the release date for the new lp. Cause I would like to get it. Been a long time fan. Great interview. You need to get more interviews like you said with this living Legend 36:48 is not enough. You didn't scratched the surface of George Clinton. What would of made this interview even greater if you would of gotten George to talk about another legend that he was friends with Prince R.I.P. I bet you he has some amazing stories to tell & the music they did together at Paisley Park in M.PL.S.

[@kingjamesversion83]

My parents and uncle's and aunties put me on to this music #Pfunk4Life

[@macadomusic]

greatest producer of ALL TIME

[@joshuagibson1515]

he put on so many people. One thing i love about P-Funk was it was all teamwork like Mr. Bernie Worrell said. Eddie, Tiki, Billy, Bootsy etc. George needed them like they needed him. Their influence cannot be denied.

[@amsterdamG2G]

just imagine if Hendrix and Funkadelic would have played together

[@MRAUDIOSOURCE]

Much love from The Professor Of OldSchool and the Audio Source Family

[@Sclass_Ent]

"One nation under a groove"... aye yo u youngin don't know the legendaryness in the video. So many classics and samples for rap came from parliament

[@mzeasha2]

Sclass Entertainment yes and no one really gives him the credit he deserves! He completely shaped music for at least 40 years of samples and songs👏🏾

[@LDLeDay]

Yup!

[@michealdawnalson7121]

Sclass Entertainment facts n u can chill n smoke good jammin some p funk,n funk we trust

[@nyg2031]

I have stood on the stage with this man many times. That's real energy non GMO!

[@jayg7775]

Wow This interview i feel it in my soul history of our music always brings me to tears like a beautiful love story

[@axshunjaxon4561]

He is truly a GOAT

[@deeelmore4560]

[@pureuncutlakers1010]

I loved how NWA sampled Sirnosed'voidof funk and made Niggaz4life. And Niggaz4life had a deep, deep message if you listen to it.

[@leoparddevinci843]

Much LOVE to the OG George Clinton!

[@famous4nothing967]

Good job Ebro, Your solid with your interviews and always seem to get the most out of your time.

[@terrillmaxwell3862]

Amazing Interview. Please keep them coming. We need the OG's.

[@GetwithTone]

Respect for having this brother up there. Learning "Ourstory"!!

[@theonesugafrizzle9251]

One of the few times I REALLY gotta give Hot97 props. Well done

[@tabithaleslie9823]

Thanks for doing this interview. It is so good to hear how he changed to make his spot and benefited from it. Frequently, we look for the new and don't look back on the tried and tested.

[@Coronaboii88]

Put Some Respect On This Man's Name!! #Legend

[@jackcamponecuhz5118]

I met him a few months ago after a concert. Was so dope.

[@capytolc5617]

He said all Muddy Waters had to do was turn his amp up and he would've been Jimi Hendrix...wow😕

[@moneyhouseblessin]

Capytol C IKR

[@JamesEarlBonez]

Capytol C those are all fax

[@terrillmaxwell3862]

Powerful right?

[@devzeppalin]

Capytol C I agree. Muddy was definitely a beast on the guitar.

[@yoyoleone]

But Jimi was a whole nother' animal though.

[@angiejones1657]

I'm still listening to Parliament !!!

[@marceltrill1357]

that ice cube joint with george clinton still go hard

[@raymundofigueroa7119]

GC has a young spirit that the main reason he gets the new music. 👊🏼😁

[@5jRollA8]

Bog Boi is a straight up descendant of George Clinton when it comes to names; "Daddy Fat Sacks" allat. I love it.

[@mischa2903]

Great interview. Music is the way it is today because of legends like George Clinton.

[@ericbrooks1924]

This was a really great interview. I learned a lot from this one..

[@strang5243]

All of my hero's did dope!! ( Andre 3000) this man is an icon respect his genuis

[@ortem000]

Great conversation. Kudos Hot 97. 👍🏽

[@photoholicflix]

George Clinton just went on a musical journey from Motown Records to Cardi B in 35 minutes.

[@ArunThrifty]

George Clinton was really on it his whole career (minus the crack years, lol glad he's recovering). He made crucial moves with his band at the right times throughout his music history. I found it crazy to think "the underground" platform was where the pulse used to be at. In fact the mentality of not doing it for money brought in the money. Compared to now, it's all about having a mentality of doing it for wealth and money which pushes with the status quo and that's where it's at today, basically copying the sound (although the best tracks do it in their own way). As a DJ doing it since the mid 80's, I feel as though hip hop went through this numerous times and still does. At the end of the day I feel you have to be able to live with your choice in music as an artists. I follow my gut these days and worry less about fitting into the new sound that's dominating now. Although it's imperative to adapt and change as older producers and hip hop artists from back in the days still do there thing today. Thanks to Ebro and Rosenberg for getting the big G. Best interview, so many lessons and gems if you listen with an open mind. Clinton is really an incredible artists if you think about it. Perhaps one of the greatest of all time.

[@tristannagan8690]

What a legend!! A true musical genius and visionary...

[@rogerrice5325]

Wow, George said Georgie Woods, Philly Stand Up 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾

[@dikbeats2720]

Yo george! your music/musicians are pure gold. It inspired me with the 1, and to start playing drums and bass over 20 years ago. Thanx man, its been Funky!

[@cancelallwokeymcwokefaces7547]

I dont know a lot about George Clinton but I know he and wu tang clan collaborated on one of the best songs ever with Wolves.

[@spidersseen]

Childish Gambino's Redbone: George did exercise his rights, that's true. BUT how much you think George and Bootsy got from the record? I can tell you: 4% each. Donald Glover 60%, Ludwig 30%. Ain't that fair.

[@tonykey2438]

I love George and Parliament Funkadelic. i just wish he would of talked about Bernie Worell.

[@off5314]

This is the best George Clinton interview I’ve ever seen and I go back to the 60 ‘s.

[@papaduneberrie9512]

Knee deep has to be one of the greatest fuckin songs ever created!

[@maturegambino3603]

Snoop needs to go back to incorporating the funk into his music lile he did with "Doggystyle"

[@NeutralMarci]

Did you hear his album Bush?

[@maturegambino3603]

Deion Crockett i wasnt feelin it like that,i liked the song with him n pharrell tho

[@ToroidalVortexLove]

Mature Gambino probably ran out of Parliament samples by now lol

[@amsterdamG2G]

If I didn't have Jodeci or Grover Washington Jr. playing, I was definitely listening to funk w/ my parents. Ain't nothin' like the fire and soul of the 70's. I'm tellin' you somethin'. It just feels good inside and out.

[@astheskylarksings]
