MAKE IT FUNKY 6/6 (sub jp)

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

これ何て番組ですか？

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.

you're absolutely right

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.
