This album was Funkadelic’s most commercially successful album and is considered by many as the greatest funk album of all time. As previously mentioned, George Clinton was a hip hop innovator before hip hop was even a thing.

Coming to you directly from The Mothership, ‘The Mothership Connection’ is a concept album based on a black pimp sitting in outer space on a spaceship shaped like a Cadillac. Whatever drugs George Clinton was on, they made him funky as hell. This album was entered into the National Recording Registry declaring that "The album has had an enormous influence on jazz, rock and dance music." Surprisingly, it wasn’t entered for its influence on Hip Hop. George Clinton was a major influence on Hip Hop.
