A proper piece of vintage Funkadelic!Shot in N.Y.C.in'73,u can see the by-standers lookin'on like,"what tha f@ck,man.Them cat's are on some c-c-crAZAY sheeet "And thank god they were!Oh yeah,@1.07 that is Eddie Hazel,not Tiki.At that time Tyrone Lampkin was their drummer!
I love this video. They were having fun weirding out the locals. I wish they would have made more promtional videos like this. Love seeing a young Eddie Hazel in this one. RIP for the funksters that are gone and for the ones still here "Keep it Funky!"
what the hell after listening to cosmic slop, why do i feel i like doing speed and acid, this is some ffffuuuunnnnkkkkaaaa, phycadelic sssshhhiiiggggiiittttyyyy big ups to cosmic slop!!!!!
@DukeMinusDaGroove Can't be. I've hung out with Billy. He's not that tall and lanky. Besides, this was at the middle of his time away. Eddie would stray back here and there, but Billy was staunchly opposed to working for George at the time. Boogie was the only one credited playing bass on the LP, though it has been said that Bootsy actually did this track. Hell, it could be a lot of people. Maybe it's Pedro!

Whenever I here or play this song, I always think about THE COSBY SHOW. Vanessa and Robert were sittin at the kitchen table "doin homework" and jammin this.
this is pretty damn funky....I wish those groups from the 70's had a way of still playing 'authentic' funk. All this pop music today is boring the shit out of me :(
I love parliament arguably the best group ever................is it just me or does everybody look like they just got done smoking a pound of weed before they shot this video?
See, this is another reason I love the 1970s and Youtube. You just never know what you're gonna find. This is so awesome. This video seems unscripted and unrehearsed. It's as if the director told them to just go out there in front of the camera and do whatever you feel. It's so raw and the costumes are fun to look at. I like how it's not polished like todays videos. Also, during the 70s, artists didn't need the help of videos to sell their music like today. The music was strong on its own.
You are so right! in everything you said in your comment, There was no American Idol BS! And digital enhanceing and all that other crap! I was 10 years old and I remember those days like it was yesterday, Funkadelic was the funkiest group that ever walked the face of the Earth! May The Funk Be With You!!
Proof that " the world is a toll-free toilet, our minds are neurological assholes"..... for how else can you capture a boogie...if you don't attack from the bacc..... To the Rear !! MARCH !!!!
Cosmic Slop is a 1973 album by Funkadelic, released on Westbound Records. While it has been reevaluated by critics long after its original release, the album was a commercial failure, as it produced no charting singles and did not make the Billboard 100 chart.
Well, I wouldn't call it a failure, since most Funkadelic albums weren't designed to be crossover pop successes. In fact, none of the Funkadelic Westbound albums charted on the Top 100 album chart with the exception of the Free Your Mind album. That would be like saying that most of Zappa's albums are commercial failures.
The white guy is Ron Bykowski. He basically replaced Eddie Hazel when Eddie went to jail or whatever. He played on COSMIC SLOP, STANDING ON THE VERGE, and I believe LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE!
Eddie was very much on the Standing on the Verge LP. Wrote the whole album with George too. That is him and no other playing on "Red Hot Momma" and the beautiful 12-minute "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts". He just isn't credited because of the legal issues he was dealing with at the time.
I didn't say Eddie wasn't actually on STANDING; he's listed as a band member. The only album that I don't think he's credited on is LET'S TAKE IT TO THE STAGE, but I could be wrong about that. It's all good though, PHUNKATEER.
There seems to be some debate as to whether that's him tearin' it up on "Cosmic Slop". It almost seems too good to be anyone else. What I have no question about though is that's gotta be him on "Good to your Earhole".
Music needs to get back to these maverick funkateers, everybody is being marketed like a niche instead an intelligent free-think human being who loves music. You better "mind your wants because someone wants your mind !!!"
Exactly where are the artists out there now trying to open minds like this? Where did we go wrong, this post beat/post 60s/pre galactic end wisdom is missing in the world today. It's just vanished. Gone like Mayans and Toltecs. Come on people! Get up, freak out, and get down!
see all the funk culprits who's wearing the wolfs head tiki or tyrone I see eddie, grady, bernie, boogie, gary, fuzzy, ron, george, calvin, ray, and grady.
I think that's Tyrone in the checkered outfit. Looks in a couple of spots like he's got his drumsticks - so in the wolf's head remains a mystery... Pedro Bell? ...I was assuming that the guy in the really colorful gown was Calvin, but you see him with a bass at times. For a second, I was thinking maybe Bootsy (who wasn't with Funkadelic right about then), but I guess Cal was just taking it off Boogie's hands - who clearly just wanted to dance.
Not to be racist or anything, but Ron Bykowski (the "Token White Devil", on the liner notes to 'Take it to the Stage', LOL) looks hilariously out of place in that clip
This video makes Kiss, Marilyn Manson, Alice Cooper and those Death Metal and Rappers look quite normal because unlike those above P-FUNK meant were beautiful, crazy and high mofos with the music to match. Black Music neeeds crazies like a young George Clinton again, Beyonce, Jigga, Ne-Yo, Usher and the Soulquarians are uptight, flashy and st8.
I see why some people used to be scared of George & The Funkadelics during this period!
But the "Mothership Connection" and "Let's Take It To The Stage" was 2 and a half years later and they would have their direction down and the world paying attention big time!
