Man barely looks 60 and he’s lived such a wild life it’s amazing he’s even with us. So good to get these OG’s in long form like this. Shoutout Sly Stone.
That is facts.
Facts
This was not just an interview, this was the history of our culture ❤
💯
Agreed 🙏🏽🖤
FAKZ. 💯
Absolutely. That education on AM and FM radio was astounding, the history of how record/radio companies hired white artist to cover African American music that became successful in the underground.
Should go in the Smithsonian TBH
I am 81 yrs old,grew up on his music saw him live for the first time at the old stadium in DC in the 70’s we left there in the starship. Legendary!!!!
81? You basically grew up with him. Respect.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Damn that's a trip, I would never thought someone your age is watching the show. Hip hop is ageless
Props
George's memory of names and current events is amazing. That man is sharp.
Bruh he is 81. Peace love to all the drink champs family man. Let’s pray and hope we make it that age real spill. Dude a LEGEND.
Dats what I'm saying man. 💯
It look like he’s aged in reverse. He looked older back in the 90s
Facts. He literally partied like rock star and is still with us, humbly handling his biz with a smile. ✊🏽🫡
This is insane
And thank all he still with us Lord knows he went to so many drugs as a young man.
George is proof that greatness is forever
Indeed
He is a God...🤘🏿
National Treasure George Clinton
Preach
Drink Champs never has to have another episode. Your work here is done. RESPECT
Nah, they gotta get Bootsy on next before they can retire
No, they need an episode for Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley
Facts
Big up for DJ EFN For asking the right questions and Nore for being on his best behavior and not cutting the Legend off
I always say thank goodness for DJ EFN during interviews.
NORE was behaving himself.
Respect for the OG that's why.
Physically, mentally, and cognitively, impressive at 81 years of age.
Facts. King looks 20 years younger in spite of the partying back in the day.
@@77Creation 👊👊
@@77Creation He took those crazy ass extensions out. That's what chopped off those years. 🤣
Very ! You can tell by how fast his hands and eyes are moving. Hes healthy and sharp. 💪🏾
He 80 years old, and he still fighting for his art. This is crazy!
That’s a shame how they rape our culture out of generational wealth
He signed the rights to his music
@@chrisedwards3214 That was a practice that George did with his record label
When, George was in need of money he would sign his masters over with and contract agreement to paid in full to get his Masters back...The company had changed hands and that's how his masters got stolen, because the new hands wouldn't abide in the contract for the return of his masters
@@chrisedwards3214 signed them away?
Godamn shame
This is my favorite interview ever. Parliament Funkadelic is my favorite band of all time!
I love how George is schooling them on things like AM and FM radio and just plain music history and how things were back in the 50s and 60s the music history in this man's mind and how his whole outlook on music is a state of mind AMAZING True genius and all the members of Funkadelic are true musical Giants I love P-Funk and I always will
This is such a history lesson in music it’s insane. From Doowop and Soul to Psych rock and Hip Hop. He was there involved at the highest level in all of it.
So glad George finally got himself together. He sounds so clear and thoughtful and present. He looks great for 81.
Yes he dose god is good
He looks 15 years younger than that!
@@teeoh9192 right. He doesn't even move like an 80yr old.
I’m 52 and my FIRST CONCERT EVER… Prince opened. Parliament / Bootsy / Mothership all of them were mid / Rick James closed. IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE. Shout out to Drink Champs!
WOW!! That's kool
Super duper Concert that defeats most concerts I’ve ever heard about…Salute to you for being there!!
Amazing. I have so many questions for you 😂
What year was this
@@silewis9396 You and me are wondering the same thing 🤣
Rick James Headlined over The Mob???
A million Thanks to Drink Champs for the excellent interview and respect shown to Mr. George Clinton. That was a musical master class. 👍
It’s no secret that Uncle George was on crack for a long time (I heard him say it out of his own mouth). For him to be this sharp, clear, coherent and looking this good at the age of 81 is unbelievable and should not be scientifically possible. If this isn’t a testament to the Funk then I don’t know what is. The funk is the truth, salute 👌🏾
George Clinton is 81, almost twice the age of Nore. I hope the young hip hop artists are paying attention. This is the blueprint on how to pay respect to your elders. Salute Drink champs.
81??? For real. Got to google that….Yep Wow!!!! Man no words for that era of music!!! Just iconic. 🤎🤎🤎🤎
I have been SHOOK since googling as I watch… HE IS 81!
Looks incredible and still cool as hell!!!
Damn he’s 81 but he looks like is 50s to 60
He looks good
@@T..1147 yes he do!
This is the most important episode in my opinion. This is iconic over a 50 year time period.
Thank Y’all
🎯🎯🎯💯🙏🏼 INCREDIBLE!
Word the history is needed
Nore & EFN literally outdone themselves this was visiting the hip hop library
Werd Up
This man exemplifies Black History
Absolute survivor, what a man, what a life. His fingerprints are all over my music collection
Amazing, legendary, historical! Wow!! We need more of this from our iconic legends. Let's hear from Berry Gordy, Bootsy, Gladys, Eddie Levert, Otis Williams, Chaka, Phillip Bailey, Diana, Smokey, Frankie Beverly, etc. while they're still among us. Thank you Drink Champs for expanding and weaving our musical history together❤️.
This man is 81 and is still sharp as a whip. God bless the OG. ❤
He is special.
Still got the Dog in him. 💯💯💯
This is History. Can't give enough flowers to NORE.
We need a Bootsy Collins one next !!
Hell yeah
That would be dope 👌.
Heeeeck Yea!!!
Yes Indeed.
This interview is ICONIC! I could listen to him tell stories all day! This was great!
drink champs went to the next level with this one. This is an actual true living legend
A total history lesson in culture and music. Thank you Starchild🤟🏿
The STARCHILD!!!
He’s like the coolest uncle that everybody loves lol
80s baby here and was raised on the Funk! I love me so Parliament and most definitely George Clinton!! Much love to my fellow Greek 💗💚💙🤍
I am loving this. I just debated a friend of mines on old school music. He says this music is now “irrelevant.”
I told him, “The music is not irrelevant because it is still being mimicked, sampled, inspiring,and praised. Just because it is not on a magazine cover does not mean the music is irrelevant.”
sounds to me like you need new friends
You got a friend like that?
Protect Uncle George by all means 💯✊🏿🐐👑
Hell Yea!!! George Clinton is the GOAT. He is a true legend in music . Peace and blessings to this man . I’m here for it all. - super fan of George Clinton .
This man recreated not just a black music, but the music in general. This man created a moviment, a culture, a style, a way of life.
The album Funkadelic of 1970, is the most highest level of Funk you can hear until today!!!
Salute Mr. George Clinton, One Nation Under A Groove!
I love the interviews with the real OGs, those who really started it all like George Clinton and Patti Labelle ... I put other Drink Champs interviews on just for noise in the background, but when the real OGs are on I actually watch! Thank you so much George for giving lifetimes of incredible music!!🔥❤🙏🏿
I don't think people realize that this man is 81. Amazing!
This man's contribution's to the culture are the literal blueprint to some of the greatest hip hop songs ever created. My personal favorite is Summer Vacation by Ice Cube. Thank you George Clinton🙏
Him and James Brown are the Godfathers of Hip Hop
And that may be my favorite ice cube song
Don’t forget 2 pac you can’t c me
@@KZOOKINFOLKS Don't sleep on Isaac Hayes
My summer vacation is one of the most sad, angry, intelligent and truthful songs ever... I get goosebumps listening to that jem... It shows the struggles of young men trying to make money the wrong way and not glorifying the drug game like it's all good... One of Cubes best no doubt... and the Atomic Dog sample fits as the perfect back drop .... 90's real rap 💯
George got a beautiful aura to him. Salute.
A true Legend on his own!!!!🔥🔥 He has always been so original and genuis !!! 👑
He looks amazing at 81! True legend indeed ❤️
That’s crazy this man doesn’t have a Grammy after all his work over the years but Blu Ivy won one at 9 years old. Swing Down Sweet Chariot live with Greg Goins(RIP) bringing in the Mothership is priceless and my favorite sample from Dr Dre🔥
Right!!! A lifetime achievement award but Grammys during his career. A travesty.
(*Glenn Goins) Yes, that performance was everything!!🙏🏿
Glenn Goins dude, not Greg!
@@neilpilkington7342Thanks Neil Pilltakington 💊
Longevity is better than a Grammy.
His first words insinuates tht he doesn’t even really know how much of a legend he is 😢🔥🔥
Hands down one of the dopest interviews by far. To have a true historian alive and well, sharing stories on his journey and the trials he’s went through while overcoming is phenomenal. Truly a great interview from top to bottom, George Clinton is the 🐐 without a doubt💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡
and remembers 100%
Yes Sirrr!!! 💪🏿
Facts
He was so clear and concise! No disrespect but a lot of older ppl move a little slower and we love them and hold space for that. But HE was QUICK. I see he even had to correct EFN a couple times on the publishing and masters explanations. He is sharp and thas a blessing.
Him and James Brown are the roots of Hip Hop Music (samples)! 🎶👑💯💜🎼 Younger generation take notes 📝 and pay homage to the veterans, they deserve it!!!
Facts
Cant forget Bootsy Collinz.... Frfr
Yeap along with the Last Poets on the lyrical side of it.
Facts💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Don’t forget brother Gil Scott Heron. ✊🏽
This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. George's music and his wisdom changed my life. The interviewers are awesome too.
This is hands down one of the best Drink Champs 🏆 interviews. It's so much music history packed in George Clinton. I only wish that more focus was paid on certain albums and other stories about his songs and catalog. "TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY" is one of my favorite K. Dot records, and one of my favorite Funkadelic records is "One Nation Under a Groove" and ofcourse my favorite song by theirs is "Grooveallegiance." salute
Yes grooveallegience is my fave funkadelic song ever! Not many people bring up that track but it’s my all time favorite. Maggot brain is my favorite album though.
P Funk isn't just a sound, it's a way of life. Listen to George's catalog and has so much wisdom. I will always have my antenna up for signals from the mothership 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
This man is EIGHTY-ONE. Unbelievable. Living Legend.
The first time that I saw his new look, I didn't believe that it was him. I'm used seeing him with the beard and all.
Thought this must be another George Clinton
Wow, Unc is aging g Gracefully👌
@@Jaz_zo same here fam…Unc look good shiid ✌🏾
George Clinton "The God Father of Hip-Hop" 👑
I hung out with George and some of his family years back when he was still gettin down with the nose candy. It warms my heart to see him look so healthy now. Almost like he has aged backwards. Dude is a true legend.
Man in his 80s and spitting that wisdom. Sharp as hell. I could listen to him all day.
Man sounds great and coherent for 81 years old
This is definitely gonna be a top 5 Drink Champs celebration right here! Iconic 🍺🍾💐
100% this is Legendary
For sure! He's a great treasure 💕 ✨ 🤑
🧴👀
I agree but liked just to make the number 187..lol
I'm only half an hour in and I could listen for another 3 hours. Lovely interview that felt like a history lesson 💜
Glad to see him fast,cognitively alert and all of that,at such an old age. a privilege that young people should hope for
I shed so many tears watchin thisTHAT SPOKEN WORD HE DID WAS FIREEEEEE💥😵🏆
YES it was! It felt just right
Great
A lot of 💎💎💎💎💎
it was brilliant and the whole time im like how the hell do u remember all that...n with such speed too. clearly old timers disease will never take affect on him
SHED SOME TEARS FOR THE BROKE BAND MEMBERS GEORGE RIPPED OFF.
George Clinton, James Brown, Gil Scott Heron and The Last Poets, EWF are the fathers of hip-hop. This a dope interview. I wish I could’ve seen Parliament Funkadelic at their peak.
These dude’s were Monsters
I've got the upmost respect for George Clinton I've been doing Scotty P-Funk Mills since he signed me and put me on promotional deals in 96 and sealed the deal with me as an official member of rhyme syndicate so George Clinton's been on every one of my playlist and many times I have drawn inspiration off of his works of art true legend
Utmost not upmost lol
Thank you so much for doing this interview - George doesn't get the recognition he deserves in hip hop
P Funk and James Brown are the instrumentals of Hip Hop
Dint know if James and George knew back.then.they was writing the blueprint and to think bootsy played with both
Don’t forget Zapp
@@darielmontez8630 he helped make more bounce to the ounce
@@damien5468 When he said that I was like that makes so much sense
The Last Poets and Gil Scott Heron too.
I'm from South Africa, and in my household I grew up listening to Parliament Funkadelic. It's an honour to still see George Clinton healthy and alive.
❤️🔥💜❤️🔥👉 George Clinton is the epitome of what it means to be your true authentic self and live fully in your greatness unapologetically. I had the pleasure of attending his Farewell tour last year and he didn't miss a beat. The entire show was phenomenal. Bless the rest of his days until he finally flies away to The Mothership. ❤️ 👽🌌🪐🌠

Eddie Hazel str8 murdered that 'maggot brain' solo .. . The music is still top tier
Best song of all time 🔥🔥🔥
Dr Dre and hip hop owes this man a lot.
The poem about the dog was the hardest thing I've ever heard. He has so much passion and humbleness. Much love Mr Clinton 🙏🏼
George Clinton is the definition of music history... An he's so chill all layed back it looks like your chilling an talking to a chill ass Uncle... Much love an respect to George Clinton an The DRINK CHAMPS CREW ...... RESPECT AN GOD BLESS TO WHOEVER READS THIS 🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
When he start spitting bout the “dope dog” that made this the the most playa ass epic episode ever for drink champs. (FOR ME) 😤😤🔥🔥🔥🔥 GEORGE CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 🤘🏿🤘🏿
I said it a thousand times. When a legend is speaking. SHUT UP. Allow his voice to be recorded with no interruptions. DANGGGGG
Read his book during Covid! Thank God the drugs did not take him out and his relationship with Rick James is classic! Way to many stories.... God Bless you George! So Glad I caught you live a few years ago and you did not disappoint!
Mane this is a truly blessing. I'm happy to see George Clinton doing and stay healthy. Thank God our legend still with us. I always say Cedric The Entertainer favored George by the face. But this episode is so iconic. MR George Clinton you definitely deserve your roses. I thank you for all the music you done. You a true icon sir. Thank You! Salute! 💯💪🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿
Now this was a legendary episode, George Clinton definitely deserves his flowers and more.
At the age of, 40. For the first time in my life, two days ago, I downloaded and played, Parliament. Of course, I grew up hearing them, but never had the urge to played them, on my own. So it’s dope to see this pop up!
WE NEED A PART 2 THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! SALUTE SIR GEORGE SALUTE DRINK CHAMPS!!!!
Every single person, no matter what capacity needs to listen to this interview. The first 30 minutes is priceless information.
My mother is the reason I know this legend born in the 80's I was privileged to see him live....this interview is truly a blessing and a privilege
He deserves a lifetime achievement award because just WOW!!!
Definitely raised 3 separate generations, & currently working on 4. His sound is dead ass IMMORTALIZED. Him & his squad will forever be sampled.
This is so dope! I could listen to him talking forever. So many stories and wisdom. What a wonderful human being.
He’s a living legend!!
I still don't believe he didn't know UGK
Maybe he didn't know about country rap tunes. Different category
Not only is Mr. Clinton a LEGEND, but the culture would have not even been close to what it is now without him. On top of all that he's one the most genuine and heart warming human beings on Earth. We love you George and every single person on those historical timeless classic records.
Facts!!!
This may very well be the best interview ever!! An episode worth sharing!!!This is the Great Grand father of OUR music in it's many forms....✔️💯💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This should be Grammy nominated 🔥
This is the most legendary interview ever.
Parliament-Funkadelic, hands down, the greatest band ever.
I concur
No one comes close 🤟🙏
EVER
Bar none 🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾
I like p funk free your mind until your ass will follow
When Nore gets around History and Legends, He Be So Excited Like a Kid in a Candy Store 💞😂😂He Truly Appreciate and Respect These Moments 💯🥰
Fantastic interview....1973....Mothership Connection...changed this 17 yr old life. At 66 yrs old I still have P Funk Starchild (you CANNOT play one without the other)....Give Up The Funk ....the way Bernie Worrell took over that song at the end...the best, simply the best. Just recently heard the 1993 remix "One Nation...." with Ice Cube...now I can't ride without it. God bless this man....
North Carolina stand up for our legendary pioneer
I'm from NC and never knew he was born here
@@electriclioness4607 well u know now....and he did his anniversary of the atomic dog on charlotte mc on Omega si phi day....
To learn that the mothership is based on the dogon tribe of mali and the Sirus star system made my day. The meaning is so much deeper 🤞🏿If you know the astrological knowledge of the dogon tribe then this shit is mind blowing 🖖🏿
George Clinton will be 82 in July 🎉he looks great!! All those stories he’s able to tell and still in his right mind!!! Loved this interview & I wasn’t ready for that Atomic Dog story😭🤣
Great show. The music history coming from George Clinton is priceless. He's a musical genius. He looks good for 80. May H
God continue to bless him.🙏🏾
Psilocybin, LSD, shrooms and ketamine are absolutely life changing substances that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues.
Does anyone know where I can source them?
@@alanbaker6311 Yes, cole.shroomm!*
is he on insta?
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health, they really helped me.
@@geraldjoseph4427 sure, he delivers anonymously too, if you’re worried about that.
I adored this history lesson. I learned so much. I haven't seen him in a while so it was different to see Mr. Clinton without the colorful hair. Lunelle was right this podcast has evolved and I love it.
My uncle was tellin me bout this the other day and i had to sit back and think to myself, "what else have i come to miss throughout the times"..
Cant forget these legends yall. Be grateful for those still here
My Man! King George! Salute! I have been a fan my whole life. I saw the mothership land in Houston 1977 and Beaumont 1979. This is the epitome of an education for all of the uninformed artist who dont know music history! The bigger the headache the bigger the pill, well call me the BIG PILL! Salute! Epic Episode Drink Champs Salute you guys!
The unsung history of the culture was just catalogued for all generations right here. This episode was epic
Mothership Connection has arrived . 🛸
Atomic Dog !! 🐶
I’m 31, my mother had me when she was 40. I was blessed to hear the Parliament and still bump it! All the samples still live in music today! 🚀🛸🛸
Same! I’m 32 mom had me at 40. Just sent her this interview
I’m 31 and my mom had me at 43! Deco grew up to all the 60s 79s hits!
Easily the best interview so far. This man has known and worked with all the stars. Very well articulated for an 80 year old who has had a wild life. Props to DC for getting this legend on the show.
Wow, all I got to say is Wow! Been riding with Mr George Clinton .... "Can you get to that" ... "Maggot Brain"... "Give up the funk"... "Up for the down stroke" a legend in every sense of the word. Looks like he may recoup some of his money back too! I appreciate this session a lot.
That man is a treasure! I grew up (like many others) listening to and being influenced by his music and when I met him in 2003 we hung out for hours picking each other’s minds and talking about music and creativity. The man smoked weed for the whole 5 hours we kicked it 🤣🤣🤣 And he embraced me like a nephew which is why I told him he’s my Unk Funk! 💯
.
He welcomed me into the P Funk family and the very first time (among several other times) seeing Parliament perform live…I was on the stage with them! He told me that I had dope lyrics too and initiated keeping in touch with him…That’s truly a dream come true!
He told me about being a Rakim fan too, and recited Microphone Fiend word for word.
LONG LIVE DR. FUNKENSTEIN! 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
Oh yeah well. Simbad signed my Jordans and. Michael K fox gave my black Gardner a bj
@@Equalibrium__ You must feel proud…
He looks fabulous for 80. He got stories, the 👑. # keepitinmotion 🥰😇❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This man looks and sounds incredible for being 81 years old!!
That was a treat. Never knew Mr. George was so smart. And at 80 years old sharp as a tack. One of the best Drink Champs. Good job letting George tell us these gems.
Best drink champs of all time. Get Ron Isley on the lineup next!!!!
