BHBC The Crew Edition: P-Funk and AfroFuturism - Day 5
Day 5: P-Funk and AfroFuturism
Say:
We want the funk.
Give up the funk.
Ow, we need the funk.
Gotta have that funk.
Listen, the P is for parliament and Funk for Funkadelic. Two bands united.
Under a groove.
Getting down
(for what?)
…just fooooor the funk of it.
We ready.
Today’s conversation will explore the father of Black futurism as he convened a crew of bands (with a dash of Bootsy Collins), to inspire a new generation’s imagination of what was possible for children of the motherland - rejecting definitions of tragic fleets of ships of stolen progeny and setting off on a new zeitgeist of earthy soul and galactic freedom.
The Mothership is waiting. Snoop, Tupac, Erykah Badu, definitely Prince, and all of Omega Psi Phi have been dazzled by the star-shaped glimmer of this crew.
They are already onboard.
Step inside.
