Although Prince is certainly the head of his own world of music, he often cited George Clinton as a key inspiration and influence and even signed Clinton in 1988 to his Paisley Park Record label. Much like Sly Stone’s collaborations with Clinton, Prince and Clinton had a long partnership across many great funk songs in the 1980s–2000s.

MACEO PARKER: 1990–

This is James Brown and George Clinton’s most famous sax man. Maceo Parker basically wrote the book on funk saxophone and was a key soloist in the JB’s, Parliament, and Bootsy’s Rubber Band, to name but a few. His work with P-Funk and his subsequent solo work is now legendary, the latter largely due to his incessant touring in the past several decades. His solo work includes a vast output of funk, jazz, blues, and soul music. His influential tenures under two of funk’s biggest personalities have helped earn Parker himself a mastery of bandleading. Indeed, all of Parker’s bands were extremely tight and concise over his long career.

DENNIS CHAMBERS: 1990, 2004

Chambers was a fusion Drummer for P-Funk in 1979–1981, 1982–1984, and 1986 and was also a drummer for the Brides of Funkenstein. He has since become synonymous in drummer circles as a master of the instrument, garnering international attention with his playing and endorsements. Much like the Brecker Brothers, Chambers’s full discography, though it fits within the criteria of canon, would be too much to fit within this volume. But it is important to note his involvement with jazz and rock acts such as Santana, John Scofield, John McLaughlin, Mike Stern, Victor Wooten, Niacin, Steely Dan, Billy Sheehan, and many more.

SNOOP DOGG (SELECT TRACK): 1993

Snoop Dogg’s career has a lot thematically to do with the music of P-Funk. It is no wonder that the featured track features both an interpolation of “(Not Just) Knee Deep” and George Clinton himself. Truly, the entire Doggystyle album is chock-full of P-Funk interpolations, largely thanks to producer Dr. Dre.

Death Row Records

Vocals: George Clinton, The Lady of Rage, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre

Production: Dr. Dre

ICE CUBE (SELECT TRACK): 1993

Priority Records

“Bop Gun (One Nation)”

Lead Vocals: Ice Cube

Lead Vocals: George Clinton

Backup Vocals: George Clinton, Bootsy Collins

Production: Ice Cube, QDIII

“Bop Gun” by Ice Cube is essentially a “One Nation Under a Groove” interpolated remake, featuring George Clinton and Bootsy in the music video, and features Ice Cube using almost all P-Funk song titles or lyrics to make up the lyrics of the song. It also was a big part of P-Funk’s comeback in the 1990s (other key reasons for Clinton’s comeback at this time include the debut albums by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, the Lollapalooza Tour, and the movie PCU).

O.G. FUNK 1994

This solo album is by original Funkadelic bassist Billy Nelson and features several P-Funk mainstays and old school rap pioneers. it was coproduced by Bill Laswell.
