If you're an old fart you should know what a Mack is. Honestly I didn't realise that term was still a thing. All I know is I see that word and think "lame-o-rama".

Being a shit criminal who acted like a hooligan moron does not make you "badass," it makes you a cunt.

OK, Dutch old fart might be more appropriate... I am not familiar with Yankeedoodle slang smile

Am I the only one that hears Curly Fryz saying "pussy" on this song?

Fair enough. Although the term is known in the UK too thanks to that one-hit wonder Mark Morrison - terrible song, but he at least got the term stuck in the national lexicon!

Well you need to get out more. Mack is still being used and does not mean a dude is a pimp. For everyday use it is a guy who gets around with the ladies. I am amazed that some of you have to be reminded that P is African American.

i clearly stated, "or employs pimping tactics"...which means loosely the same thing you said..."gets around with the ladies"...smh

Holy crap!! He is??!!! When did that happen? Why doesn't anyone ever mention that fact?

Wait. I knew what "mack" meant. But I'm not African American--how does that happen? I'm so confused.

Well you know but plenty of others do not and many times on this board things that Prince has said and done go completely over a lots of heads on this board. African-American is a race and it is culture. You can read the comments and tell that a lot of cultural things are not understood.

In a similar vein, what are props 'n' pounds? Is the song about rugby players' salaries or something?
