Rap actually comes from the west coast :lolbron:

"The Watts Prophets poets and World's longest performing "Rap" group from Watts, Los Angeles, California, were the first Rap artist to publish the common law trademark word "Rappin™" on an album, establishing the global title of the new American art form called "Rap"."



Socially conscious BARS in 1969 :mjgrin::wow:
every region was technically influenced by tha Coast:troll:

You must didn't see my post with the old black Gospel group rapping about the bear:lolbron: 1930's Florida.

Exactly. Ground zero to funk is the south. James Brown in a genre on his own. New Orleans and Georgia is the birthplace for funk

When funk started to evolve it had a big spark out in Cali with Sly and others, then when it finally matured, Ohio took the crown. They can rightfully say they were the capital of funk in the 70s. Cali innovated the shyt out of funk tho. I will give them that


P-funk is also a genre in its own right and it was primarily Jersey/Ohio/Detroit.

Funk primarily was primarily perfected and refined in Midwest cities. Jersey or the North East really wasn't big on P Funk or funk at all, with the exception of Kool And The Gang,Rick James, or Cameo.But even Kool And The Gang had a bandmate that was from the famous band ''Slave''.Cameo also developed their funk sound when they moved to ATL. shyt Parliament didnt' become Funkadelic until they went to Detroit and were influenced by people like Jimi Hendrix,James Brown ,and the Meters.

altogether, some people like Sly and The Family Stone and Tower of Power were known to be innovators of P Funk

^^those groups were not doing what Pfunk were doing in totality even though Clinton was influenced by Sly Stone, they only had foundational concepts of funk in common.

some of his descendants



Thanks for both. I appreciate it.

Are his descendants (the ones in the video) married to black men? Those women are one shade away from whiteness and it will sad to see white people claiming to be descendants of the man in like a generation from now.

This is a portrait of a black British slave, Francis Barber:

Look at his descendant, Cedric Barber, here:

Dude you don't know what you are talking about, Parliament were not doing any funk records at all until they came into contact with certain bands. They were originally aduwop group.When they met up with with acts like Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone , went westward to Detroit to get schooled by funk bands performers,(henceforth the name westbound on their label), and came into contact with hippie drugs like Speed and LSD henceforth the name Psychedelic (which is what Funkadelic is play on) they switched their act up.

You got to understand original funk artists were heavy into Rock N Roll.

You can see this with bands like the Barkays.As I said only reason Parliament/Funkadelic was because they recruited talent like Maceo Parker who played in James Brown's band, Walter Junie Morrison who played with the Ohio Players,Dawn Silva and Lynn Mabry a former Sly And Stone member who got down with the P Funk All Stars later on,Catfish Collins & Bootsy Collins of Bootsy's Rubber Band,and Fred Wesley who used to play with James Brown.

As was said Funk before ,many original funk artists were very much intertwined with Rock N Roll. George Clinton did not craft P Funk.

No they didn't. Matter fact lowriders are a alternative to a rake. You need to check out the book, History of Lowrider: History, pride, culture.
“Lowriders were invented here in El Paso. Don’t let anybody tell you different,” Hector Gonzalez said. (Wikipedia, for instance, credits Southern California.) Hector is president of the Lincoln Park Conservation Committee, the people responsible for maintaining the park and murals under the Spaghetti Bowl.
