George Clinton - Hey Man, Smell My Finger

Still the ever-funkin' P-daddy

Yes, perhaps for Funk purists (and there's nothing wrong with Funk purists), this recording may be below their expectations. But it's hot, raging hot-- "Paint the White House Black" is still a thrilling joint (pun intended) composition with cameos by Public Enemy, Dr. Dre, and many hot luminaries of rap. It's a seering commentary on how ideologically "White" the White House was even in the Clinton era. "Hollywood" is great, "Martial Law" is better--your George Clinton collection is incomplete without this recording.

Yeah, there may be a weak tune in the mix, but let's depart from the reissue after reissue of P Funk's greatest hits--there's lots of greatness here! April 30, 2006

George Clinton Sucks At Rapping

George Clinton is a terrible rapper, but the music on this album is alright. Let's get satisfied is easily the best song on the album because it's more funk than rap, in other words george clinton is a fonker not a rapper, therefore this album is definitley not a necessity April 17, 2006

Falls Just One Point Short Of Greatness!

George Clinton was (honestly) quite a few years past his
artistic peak when he released this album in 1993.Hip-hop artists had done a good buisness sampling his music so he figured that he could cash in by offering up more loops.So most
of the music here is hip-hop based funk with rap-oriented beats
and inserts.But rest assured-it's hard edged hip-hop and it's
very funky despite itself.He even tries his hand at H-NRG techno
on "The Big Pump"-it didn't really suit Clinton but it was a valiant try.Arguably the only true P-Funk classics offered up here are "Martial Law" and "The Flag Was Still There",both of whitch would've been great on any vintage Funkadelic recording.
"Paint The White House Black" is a platform for various cameo's
by modern day rappers like Dr.Dre.The albums flaw-it has too many songs and therefore a little filler.But nothing here is
terrible and I rate it one of Clinton's better recent albums! September 11, 2004

Funk

This release is great. It's too bad many people slept on this album, but it is better than his latest "Dope Dogs" CD. February 12, 2004
