American funk collective led by George Clinton, formative in the development of the P-Funk sound and known for psychedelic, hard-edged funk and landmark albums such as Maggot Brain.

Formed by George Clinton in the late 1960s as part of the wider Parliament-Funkadelic collective; notable contributors include Eddie Hazel (guitar), Bernie Worrell (keyboards) and Bootsy Collins (bass). Influential in funk, psychedelia and later sampling in hip-hop.

DeBaser's reviews praise Funkadelic's aggressive, psychedelic take on funk and highlight landmark records and performances. Maggot Brain and its title instrumental solo are repeatedly singled out. Reviewers emphasize Eddie Hazel's Hendrix-influenced guitar work and George Clinton's P-Funk vision. The coverage spans studio albums and a notorious early live recording.

 "Funk is everything you need at any moment. It's something that saves your life, or it's an attitude, or it's that attitude that helps save your life when you feel it's not worth it anymore. You go to a place where you want to jump out of the window and that's it. Funk is that comic voice that comes to you and says, 'Why brother, nobody will miss you.' It's an attitude. It's anything needed at any moment. That's the way I see it. Funk is really all music."
