not even! Greg Tate compared that one to the 5th Dimension (meaning it as a compliment, I think).

Plus it was sampled in that goddam what'stheir face song a few years ago, pearly boots or something? no sway

slim sneakers? what was that group? 'have a heart, have a heart'
I literally have no idea what you're talking about

I think I know what you're talking about...it was a very prominent sample pretty recently. No idea who the artist was, though.

sorry, using internet properly now: indie college rock radio hit by Sleigh Bells, "Rill Rill" 2010, built around acoustic guitar bit from 'can you get to that'
(the reason I thought shoes were in their name was because of that album cover with the blood on the sneakers)

finding a P-Funk song that's never been sampled is gonna be kinda difficult tbh
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 20:56 (nine years ago) link
Oh wait, it was used in an ad not too long ago, wasn't it? Really pissed me off, since it would've been a nice payday for George, but he's still getting screwed out of royalties from the Westbound stuff.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 20:57 (nine years ago) link
Let's look on the bright side though, at least whatever bastards own the rights to the Westbound material got paid!
― Vic Perry, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link
you should read George's book

finding a P-Funk song that's been sampled in an indie rock staple or a tv commercial though
― Vic Perry, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:01 (nine years ago) link
yeah the stuff at the end of George's autobio where he has a deposition from Boladian's assistant testifying that Boladian cut+pasted/forged his signature on documents is just nuts. George disavows any involvement in all the lawsuits that have been pursued over the years on behalf of Bridgeport Music.

Eh, I didn't know about George's contributions to "More Bounce." I always assumed that his quotes of the song on "Loopzilla" were just creative revenge for Roger Troutman bailing on the Uncle Jam Records deal - the last brick that toppled the whole P-Funk empire in 1981. My bad, shoulda voted for it.

I've come around to the idea that nobody ever got paid for anything unless they had somebody kidnapped or killed.

ahh nice one. Was worried that might be an overlooked period but that tracks a bangerxps (Comin Round The Mountain)
funk gets stronger is awesome too. fabulous album and a great way for funkadelic to go out. the closest they got to their earlier stuff. Sadly Parliament didn't end as strongly.
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:07 (nine years ago) link
there's stuff I like on Trombipulation but yeah it's a weird album, the ideas don't coalesce. too much coke goin' around I assume, everybody distracted doing a million things
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:08 (nine years ago) link
i dont care for Gloryhallastoopid tbh but its still better than Trombipulation. dont even own them.
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:10 (nine years ago) link
I prefer Gloryhallastoopid, can't even remember what's on Trombipulation.
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:11 (nine years ago) link
eh as an obsessive completist of course I have both. Oddly, "Trombipulation" is the only Parliament album with other producer credits besides George.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
... oh yeah, Agony of Defeet, with the annoying lead vocal
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
but 7 great albums and 2 stinkers is a damn good ratio.Funkadelic didnt have any stinkers. even hardcore jollies and tales of kidd funkadelic have great stuff on it they just pale a bit to the before and after genius.Add in some amazing spin off albums and i CANT BELIEVE MORE PEOPLE DIDNT TRY TO GET INTO FUNKADELIC AND VOTE!
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
tho the official live album (which i do like) isnt exactly loved by people
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:13 (nine years ago) link
would kill for soundboard recordings from the very early era

we live in unfunky times

Can't agree about Gloryhallastoopid being a stinker when it has the title track, Theme From the Black Hole and Big Bang Theory on it!
― Letsby Avenue (Tom D.), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:15 (nine years ago) link
Gloryhallastoopid's comic book is great. Trombipulation's weird mishmash of ancient egyptian elephant people in a doo wop band is a little more uh waht

"Trombipulation's weird mishmash of ancient egyptian elephant people in a doo wop band"
knowing nothing about it, this sounds like The Residents (i.e. my kind of thing)

there is only 1 funkadelic song i hate and that is holly wants to go to california. I swear that track is the reason Uncle Jam Wants You isnt as rated as the others. Its a terrific album if you skip that terrible song.

freak of the week too low!

― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:20 (nine years ago) link
which is def good
yeah that's the one, killer version of "Funk Getting Ready To Roll", I think I still have it on home taped cassette
― sleeve, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:22 (nine years ago) link
Love the album cover - I've got a t-shirt with the image printed on it - but to me Uncle Jam Wants You is almost a glorified single, with "(not just) Knee Deep" the only first-rate song amidst a handful of mediocrities. "Freak of the Week" is decent, but still, I think overall it's the worst Funkadelic album (of the original 1970-1981 run, I mean). I reserve the right to revise that opinion on re-listening.
― Chuck Eddy. He's a people. (thewufs), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:25 (nine years ago) link
I like it but don't entirely disagree that it's the weakest Funkadelic album
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:27 (nine years ago) link
no way!!
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:32 (nine years ago) link
which one do you think is weaker
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 21:34 (nine years ago) link
to be clear I don't think any of them are outright bad records. Nothing with Knee Deep on it is a bad record.
