On stage, spectacle ruled the day, with an enormous mothership, outrageous costumes, and marathon performances. Clinton has become recognized as the godfather of modern urban music. Beats, loops, and samples of P-Funk have appeared on albums by OutKast, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, De La Soul, Fishbone, and many others. As Clinton has said, "funk is the DNA of hip-hop and rap."  Spin voted Parliament-Funkadelic No. 6 of the 50 Greatest Bands of All Time.
