I'm a huge fan of the funk, and I love seeing how all music since funk has changed and been influenced by funk. While it's easy to see disco as a corrupting/commercializing of true funk, I gotta say that I also really like some disco records, and all those wonderful in-betweens that are just very funky dance tunes.

Funny how what's supposed to be new is actually rehashed James Brown.

according to George Clinton, he stated that Disco was an attempt to copy funk feel and put a mainstream sound to it.
In Parliament's "Funkentelechy VS Placebo Syndrome" the song Placebo Syndrome was aimed directly to Disco music. With the verses:
What used to be such fun to do
can often leave you weak
Into the syndrome
Livin at the top of the syndrome
Placebo Syndrome
In fact, I think whole album was about the commercialism of Disco as a sell-out version of Funk.

Well, you can take it negatively like that & pit one black genre against the other, a convenient, common divide & conquer trap...but Disco was not a sell out genre. Its an offshoot of the danceable base of Funk. Added influences of Classical, Blues and as you can hear in Sylvester a direct influence of Gospel. Think of the hi-hat as the handclaps you hear in Gospel and its an amazing revelation. To belittle Disco as just some commercialized, semi-homosexual genre is slightly ignorant.

Yep. George was/is a genius but he can actually thank Disco for giving him and antithesis, a foil.

Whats sad is I love P-Funk and grew up two houses down from Bernie almost all my life and did not know he was that Bernie until just now. Small world

Disco sought to destroy the polyrhythms of Funk. Thank God for George Clinton. He confronted the disco movement head on. Disco was "rhythm" for the rhythmically challenged.
