EPISODE SUMMARY:
Experimentation is at the heart of creativity, and there few artists as open to experimentation as Parliament. Through the many genres they've played with and the many iterations of the group. Parliament has explored musical territory that few others have dared to tread, including their 1975 funk masterpiece Mothership Connection. And along the way they have inspired dozens of other creators to push boundaries, including many of the greatest hip-hop producers in history and comedian Chris Porter.
