I think I told this story on here before. The Isleys used to hang with Wilson Pickett back in the day who was a certified goon. They went on a hunting trip once and the Isleys got hungry. Pickett refused to leave becuz he hadn’t killed anything yet so the Isleys left him out there and headed back to the lodge. Pickett was so pissed off they left him that when he got back he grabbed his pistol and fired shots thru the door of the room one of them was staying in
:heh:

Wilson Pickett didn't give a shyt back in the day LOL.

Basically hustled the crew and got them strung out on coke. Would give them cocaine and then take it out of their check. Had them getting 20 dollars at most sometimes.

Eventually got Sly (Family Stone) really messed up as well.

Just watched the docoumentary (trailer for the vid I just posted) on amazon prime

You see why so many died early :mjcry:

Now I'm not blaming all of that on them. However, let the surviving members tell it that drug era really fukked them up. Probably (at the time) thought it was as harmless as weed

However, yea George would give people a line of coke and next thing you know they like but where the money at?

They actually talked about how Funkadelic was created as well. How Parliment was dissin them cause they were young. Said they were Parliment's backup group, but NOT Parliment. Breh was like fukk that. Out shyt gonna be more funk and psychodelic music...thus it was created.

Parliment was still under contract with Mo-Town and couldnt technically make music. So Funkadelic had Parliment in it until the contract freed up.
