In fact, we get the term \"p-funk\" from the collective Parliament-Funkadelic, managed by George Clinton. A few dozen other groups have since followed suit within this genre they invented.\n\n\"Give Up The Funk\" uses a jazz construction, beginning with three themes introduced and explored separately which are then woven together. Ray Davis raps \"tear the roof off the sucker\" at the beginning. Throughout the song, interaction is heard between bass, drums, vocals, and synthesizers. An ensemble sound is achieved with only a few parts. https://tinyurl.com/8p8wc2sr\n\nhttps://georgeclinton.com/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3588475, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588475/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-08T11:36:20-08:00", "show": 65323, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65323/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia800606.us.archive.org/4/items/mbid-c6422841-6d56-4dfe-9d1f-3cf298dd2f46/mbid-c6422841-6d56-4dfe-9d1f-3cf298dd2f46-41264935791_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia800606.us.archive.org/4/items/mbid-c6422841-6d56-4dfe-9d1f-3cf298dd2f46/mbid-c6422841-6d56-4dfe-9d1f-3cf298dd2f46-41264935791_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Speed Freak", "track_id": "fd624abb-b8a8-490f-b319-2d4bedf5965c", "recording_id": "98fa945e-38d5-4e4b-8887-d1f259b8123c", "artist": "Youth Lagoon", "artist_ids": [ "4a18722d-5a98-41c8-9e86-814afbffc704" ], "album": "Rarely Do I Dream", "release_id": "c6422841-6d56-4dfe-9d1f-3cf298dd2f46", "release_group_id": "45b3011b-f9c1-43ff-b172-4bcf100453a4", "labels": [ "Fat Possum Records" ], "label_ids": [ "76da5b47-69e8-49e7-a2fc-62d296b6224f" ], "release_date": "2025-02-21", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": true, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Delicate yet aggressive, innovative yet classic, Rarely Do I Dream is Youth Lagoon’s most comprehensive and audacious album to date.
