This is George Clinton at his best! The concept is awesome and the messages spun on this CD are dying to be heard. The sound is more like heavy hip-hop than traditional funk but that doesn't matter. The CD is full of catchy chants and political innuendoes which give a better perspective on what's happening in this country than you'll ever get from the news. If you're a PFunk fan and you don't have this, do yourself a favor and buy it. It will raise your ROOF!

George & Co. have done it again.This is a wonderful piece of progressively modern P-FUNK that`s evolving into even more artistic funkscapes.Check out "Pepe"`,"Some next shit","Fifi","Help Scottie,help." for some truly avant-funk."Dog Star"(fly on)Shows that Funkadelic is alive and well.George hasn`t turned off his BOP GUN and i hope he keeps it aimed at top 40 music.Don`t forget,THE FLAG IS STILL THERE!!!

George Clinton's new album Dope Dogs is a work of art. The funk scene is not quite what it used to be, and people are expecting some sort of major change in the music industry, having to do with techno and rock. George Clinton has successfully made that change, while not even trying. The new sound he's created still has that P-Funk sound to it, but you can easily tell that if funk were to ever change, this is the direction it should be headed. Give it a shot.

Dr. Funkenstein, Bootsy, Starchild, and the rest of the all stars return for more of that old fashioned, beat pounding, groove laying, feel good funk. All around, it's one of his best albums yet. No one lays the funk down like George Clinton, and this is no exception. Starting right off with some fresh, thick beats, the album has great motion to it. It feels like a live jam, which is one of the reasons his albums have been so successful. Between the astounding bass grooves, the incredible sounding backgrounds, and that same funky groove. This is an album to listen to if yhou are in the mood for a party.

yea, this one was a great one...but it is not new. I have owned this one since late '95 and could have had it earlier (not a u.s. release). If you go to any P-Funk shows, it would be obvious that this material was being played in concert heavily during that time. I would highly recommend this piece but please keep it in perspective. The last disc cut and pressed was TOPOAFOM which features the return of Bootsy (and there is no mistaking his voice if you care to listen). This album represents the last stand of the old funk...on TOPOAFOM and on Bootsy's new disc they show the puppies that an old dog can learn new tricks (many young folks - hip hop). The disc stays with the political groove and has so much to say that is right on...too bad what he's preachin'can't be heard by those who need to listen. Free your mind and....

George Clinton aka Dr. FUNKENSTEIN returns again with the PFUNKMOB to rescue dance music from the BLAHS. "Dope Dogs" is another testament to the Mob's self professed motto of being " preoccupied and dedicated to the preservation of the motion of hips". Indeed "There is nuthin' that the proper attitude will not render FUNKABLE".

Not necesesly a clasic but for George Clinton fans a must have giving you the funk from begging to end

I love this album! I've had this since it came out and over the years it's grown more and more on me. I have to say, when it first came out I wasn't too into it. It took a long time to get into the whole groove of it. I've been listening to George and P-Funk since I was a teenager and this was a little different...but now, 13 years later, I'm still crankin' it.

This cd is pretty good. I actually love the opening song "Dog Star". It's the "Cosmic Slop" of the millenium! The first time I heard Dog Star was back in 93 or 94 where I saw the Mob @ the Warner Theatre in DC and they opened up with it. I love the animated voices on "Pepe the pill popper". Check out the message in Dope Dogs. George aint sayin nuffin but the truth about drugs. It's very hip hopish. One song some next S### sampled the Brides of Funkenstein "Never Buy Texas From A Cowboy". And then near the end, you can actually hear a sample of the doo-wop song "So Fine" by the Fiestas. They slowed it down. Oh oh yeah!

I personally enjoyed the back third of the album. I expected too much from George on this one. "I Ain't The Lady" had that real old school (Funky worm) feel. "All Sons of Bitches" is still probably a little futuristic by today's standards, but is as funky as it wants to be. "Sick 'em" is pure genius. But there are definitely two to four songs that any eccleptic funkateer will enjoy on this one if you don't mind some of the language.
