This epic ode to George Clinton's P-Funk legacy samples Funkadelic's "One Nation Under A Groove" and features the funk maestro himself. The term, "Bop Gun," is a reference to another of George Clinton's groups, Parliament, and their 1977 track "Bop Gun (Endangered Species)". That song's lead vocal was performed by Glenn Goins, his last performance on a P-Funk record. Clinton recalled during a Reddit AMA: "When he said Bop Gun, I thought he was talking about Bop Gun I didn't realize until I got there that he was playing One Nation which is easier for me to do because I'm not trying to sing behind Glenn on Bop Gun. They slowed it down a bit making it easier for me to sing. It was the bomb."
The album version of "Bop Gun (One Nation)" is over 11 minutes long, while the radio edit clocks in at under 4 minutes.
The Bop Gun is an imaginary weapon that is fired at funk-less people and makes them funky.
