This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Smell My Finger album by George Clinton. This album was released on Paisley Park by Prince in 1993. This album was not well received by hardcore George Clinton fans despite it being the most out of print George Clinton album.

Paint The White House Black is a platform for various appearances/cameos by modern day rappers such as Ice Cube, Yo-Yo, and Dr. Dre. This song is where Ice Cube popularized the bop gun, which he would later feature George Clinton on the song called Bop Gun. Paint The White House Black is about the ideology on how white the White House really is.
The album is ripe with samples that George Clinton wanted to cash in on. The 70s sounds mixes in very well with the stellar 90s production sound. Solid bass is played out. Some tracks are better than others. MC Breed and Kam both make an appearance on this album.
Some tracks are better than others. The only good songs by most hardcore George Clinton fans standards were Martial Law, Smell My Finger, Paint The White House Black, Way Up, Hollywood, and Get Satisfied. The Big Pump song didn't do him any justice. That's why the album was not that good and very overlooked despite George Clinton being at his artistic peak in funk. There are not that many P-Funk classics on here as there should have been. If you want a better funkier album than this, check out Dope Dogs instead. Buy this album if you are one of those George Clinton completionists.
I rate this album, Smell My Finger, 3/5***.
