Paint The White House Black
"Paint the White House Black" is an American funk and hip-hop single from the 1993 George Clinton album ''Hey, Man, Smell My Finger''. The song features the musical artists Chuck D, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Yo-Yo, MC Breed, Kam and Shock G. Critical reception ''Rolling Stone'' wrote, "The words paint the White House black recently appeared in MC Breed's pounding 'Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin', and with Breed rapping on Clinton's 'Paint the White House Black', the song's concept (defiance, mostly) feels multigenerational and even possible." '' Select'' magazine said, "'Paint the White House Black' adds novelty value otherwise absent from a rather tired selection of seismic beats and silly voices." Yahoo Music called George Clinton's "Paint the White House Black" "One of his best political jabs in years."

Songs Written By George Clinton (funk Musician)
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are of ...
