Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
P-Funk essentially invented the Afrofuturist aesthetic years before the term existed, directly inspiring everything from OutKast to Janelle Monáe to Black Panther's visual language.
The original Mothership prop was junked in the '80s; Clinton spent decades trying to locate it, eventually commissioning a replica for the Smithsonian — which then sat in his yard for years because he forgot to ship it.
