Not the first disc to get if you're new to Clinton, but if you know you like his work, well worth picking up.

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!"

"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"
