Unlikely Inspiration & Timely Luck that Made Greats

[SlimTrae]

Funk GOD George Clinton of Parliament last great hit was as a solo artist called Atomic Dog. It killed the charts, music, dance, billboard. The hypnotic base line was the 1st of its kind & came by accident!


George was late to the studio because he was getting high. As hell! When he got there, they were already rehearsing. As soon as he walked in he placed his headphones on, while they rewound the tape to the beginning. But because he was high out of his mind, he thought it was the song, so he pretended like he liked it, but because he couldnt figure out what key the song was in (because the shit was simply rewinding!) Rather than start singing he said he would adlib & talk the words until he could figure out what the hell key was the song in.

The engineers realizing he was high & didnt know the shit was rewinding, thought his monotone voice sounded cool. So when they got it to the beginning, they decided to overdub the bass line the way he heard it (backwards)
A man gets high he shows up late for work. Dont know what the fuck is going on...faking like he does and fell ass backwards into not just a hit; Atomic Dog became George's 1st & only #1 hit as a solo artist.
Damn, aint that some shit?





Because of that, 3 white guys totally enamored with that concept wrote a song playing the bass line/drum backwards known as Beastie Boys.
