b"Good luck trying to pin a label on Baron Vaughn, because he is an artist who has built a career out of defying expectations. Learning from an early age that humor can be both a weapon and a shield, he has carved out a unique identity for himself through his eclectic stand up comedy albums, performances in Netflix's\\xa0Grace & Frankie\\xa0and\\xa0Mystery Science Theater 3000,\\xa0and creating the series\\xa0The New Negroes\\xa0for Comedy Central. Vaughn takes an unflinching look at the world's expectations of what it means to be black in America. But in reaching the position he is in today, much is owed to the groundbreaking work of the creative forces that came before him, including psychedelic funk godfathers Funkadelic, who shattered genre stereotypes while also getting people to shake their asses to the drug-fueled grooves of their 1971 release,\\xa0Maggot Brain.\\nFor show notes, guest playlists, complimentary documentaries and audiobooks about the music, go to\\xa0The500Podcast.com.\\nNew Music influenced by Funkadelic:\\n\\u201cEl Moran\\u201d by Mascaras (bandcamp)\\n\\xa0\\u201cBay City Blues\\u201d by Jack McCue /\\xa0Idle Hands (Soundcloud)\\nJoin.
