The very sound of Snoop's voice is amusing, and the same goes for Collins. But for all their eccentricity, neither Snoop nor Collins are mere novelty artists. If you removed all the humorous banter from \u003cem\u003eStretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band\u003c\/em\u003e, it would still be an album of ultra-funky grooves. Released in 1976, this LP found a 24-year-old Collins launching his solo career after having been employed by James Brown and George Clinton. Collins produced his solo debut with Clinton, and not surprisingly, the Parliament\/ Funkadelic influence is impossible to miss on p-funk gems like 'Psychoticbumpschool' and the hits 'I'd Rather Be With You' and 'Stretchin' Out (in a rubber band).' But this album also made it clear that Collins was very much his own man; in fact, he was Clinton's most distinctive disciple and inevitably became influential himself. All of the albums that Collins provided in the late '70s are worth owning, but \u003cem\u003eStretchin' out in Bootsy's Rubber Band\u003c\/em\u003e is among his most consistent and his most essential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhino","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50529141653835,"sku":"261174","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/34105931-5531-4b59-add9-a9d77968f6be_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728063759"},{"product_id":"fresh-outta-p-university","title":"Fresh Outta 'P' University","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFresh Outta 'P' University\u003c\/em\u003e is Bootsy Collins' fourth solo album, released in 1997, and it celebrates his unmistakable P-Funk sound.
