I Wish My Brother George Was Here is the debut album by American hip hop musician Del the Funky Homosapien.[2] It was released by Elektra Records in 1991.[3] The album was produced by Del, Boogiemen, and Ice Cube.[4] It peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart,[5] as well as number 48 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[6]

It has been incorrectly assumed that the title of the album is a reference to George Clinton.[1] The title actually refers to a quote from a Looney Tunes short film, which is in turn a reference to Liberace's catchphrase, which he would say on his television show whenever his brother George did not appear.[7]
