"FUNK IS ANYTHING YOU NEED TO DO TO SAVE YOUR LIFE AT THAT TIME, DO THE BEST YOU CAN AND THEN: FUNK IT"

George is a genius...don't sleep on the Supreme Universal Wisdom he drops!......for those with their Third Eye Open.

[@boa1793]

Actually, the nuances are important. It’s “Funk is anything it needs to be to be to save your life at the time. In other words, do the best you can and then FUNK it! Once you’ve done the best you can in any situation ain’t nothing you can do, say funk it. So you need to be able to say funk it without guilt, without anything. “I’ve done the best I can. Now, let’s get down.” _Sorry to be so picky, but the poetry of it says so much more.

[@57dogsbody]

George is just wonderful. I love how modest he is, he never braggs on the fact that he completely took black music and gave it a real new direction. it was in a ditch just repeating itself and copying Motown. Also there was a "black"sound, and a "White" sound, and woe betide anybody who tried to get out of the groove expected of them! George said "fuck it", i'll take it where I want. LEGEND!!!

No, he said "Funk it!"

George Clinton is one of my favorite artists. The Parilment Funkadelic is my favorite group. Every thing that George produce as a artist. Produce different artists as Bride of Funkinstin, Parlet and others. I"m glad that I had the opportunity to see the P-FUNK ALL-STARS.

[@benjaminwilliamsa.k.adascr1107]

Holla at Greg C: The guy you referred as giving a boring interview is actually conducting an excellence interview. He asked very good questions and he allow George to tell his story from George's point of view. I guess we are so use to interviewers wanting to entertain rather than conduct a real interview. We get yellow journalism, gossip, tabloid. We can't handle this kind of interview. This host is well research . . . as result we get superb interview. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this youtube clip. I like to see and hear more of this kind of interview. Big up to Red Bull Music Academy!

[@joaopaulogomesoleare8974]

He ain't boring, the interview is great. I personally think he could've gotten a little deeper on how was Detroit in late 1960's/ early 1970's, but that would be a detour from the actual point of the lecture. Other than that, great.

People need to recognize that P-Funk Is a Movement, and not just a concert. That's why REAL hardcore P-Funk headz reefer (refer) it as the Parliament Funkadelic Movement!

"A ring around your bath tub, a joint rolled in toilet paper. Man you listen real good" That dude from 'the vanilla suburb' just got the highest praise from non other than George Clinton. I hope that boy appreciates the gravity of that and I got a feeling he does.

[@VINZBROWN]

GC dropped an entire "creative process" advanced studies class on this video. Wowwwwww

[@angelthecholo]

George speaks a lot of facts that a lot of old head rappers or old school fans don't understand. For you to stay relevant you have to be up on what's new. If you're not then before you know it you just might become obsolete.

[@Pinckman1360]

The Albums Mothership Connection, The Clones of Dr Funkenstein and Funkentelechy vs The Placebo Syndrome are concept albums deeply rooted in Kemetic Spirituality. Mothership Connection = The Gods coming back to awaken people who have been oppressed and asleep and do not realize who they are. The Clones = The creation of the gods original people. The Placebo Syndrome = The Matrix, where we are now. Starchild tells Sir Nose to dance. Starchild also says, "There's a picture within a picture, behind a picture. Which means that this world is a reflection of many other worlds which you can ascend to. He is telling Gods people to remember who you are and take back the funk (i.e. the God in you). The Flashlight is the light that comes from the One (The Absolute, God). Getting over the "hump"refers to his chosen the need to get past the cusp, the rainbow. Which scientist refer to as the cusp of magnetosphere( kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKrZXaXgK6gsNk ).. Now those who have the gift are blinded by the mainstream (Sir Nose). If you open your Third Eye (which is what LSD,Weed, DMT) does, it becomes clear for those who are chosen. Why do you think they made it illegal and black people are the ones who are targeted the most. LSD was legal during the 60's and that was the time when most of the civil rights movement made its greatest gains. Think! It Ain't Illegal Yet.

This Guy Missed Every Opportunity He Was Given To Ask Great ?’s After George Spoke. Like Are You Working With Anyone From The Past On Any New Stuff Especially The New Mothership Connection. Among Other Things, Like Why Everyone Blames Him About The Money Issues, Not Saying He Did Or Didn’t Take. He Could’ve Went Deeper With Some Things Real Fans Want To Know. He Was Cool, But If He Was So “ Great “ Like I’m Reading Why Was He Constantly Looking Down At His PC & List. That’s Not Professional Interviewing & Not The Great GC. George Was Wide Open And Willing To Answer Some Real Questions We As Fans Have About Songs Made, Who Wrote What, The Other Group’s, Bernie, Bootsy’s Roll As A Producer, Gary, Glen, Big Foot And On And On....... P-Funk Is The Greatest Band In The Galaxy!!!!🤘🏽
