=== Legacy === Clinton continued his P-Funk collective in the 1990s and 2000s, with a revolving stable of musicians, some of whom remain from the classic lineups of Funkadelic and Parliament. The rock-oriented sound of Funkadelic has diminished, as Clinton has moved towards more of an R&B and hip hop sound. In 1997 the group was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rockhall.com/inductees/parliament-funkadelic |title=Parliament Funkadelic at Rock Hall |publisher=Rockhall.com |access-date=November 2, 2011}}</ref> Filmmaker Yvonne Smith of New York City-based Brazen Hussy productions produced ''Parliament-Funkadelic: One Nation Under a Groove,'' a full-length documentary about the groundbreaking group, which aired on [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] in 2005.<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/parliamentfunkadelic/film.html Parliament Funkadelic: One Nation Under a Groove. The Film]. ''[[Public Broadcasting Service]]''.</ref> As of 2008, Clinton was at work on a new Funkadelic album for his new record label. In November 2008, Westbound Records released ''[[Toys (Funkadelic album)|Toys]]'', a collection of Funkadelic outtakes and demos from the ''Free Your Mind'' and ''America Eats Its Young'' era. Critical reception of the album has generally been positive. In April 2013, the band released their first single in over 25 years when they released "The Naz". The song is a collaboration with Sly Stone and tells the story of Jesus Christ. The B-side to the song is "Nuclear Dog" which is guitar solo by P-Funk guitarist Dewayne "Blackbyrd" McKnight. Funkadelic had a major influence on a large number of hip-hop artists, and the genre of hip-hop as a whole.<ref>Touré.
