P control

Okay, i heard alota people on this site said that the song was funky and cool and ..whatever and i know dis was prolly already a topic, but um... i had jus heard the song P Control like a day or 2 ago (on this website called cdzlimited.com) and i was like ugggh! confused what is this?!... "Oh No!". Im sorry to who all are fans of this song- but it jus sounded all weird to me and i could not stand that song ....and i think his rappin was jus... terrible- ...though the song was kinda funny (a lil' bit) but just wanna know what you all think of that song also and if alota people like it/ hate it or whatever - (cause i surely thought it sounded a hot mess) disbelief

I LOVE P Control! I was at Glam Slam when he brought it in to play for the first time. I was up in the Erotic City area with some friends (what up Gemini biggrin ) and Prince walked in and sat by the DJ. The DJ said "would you all like to hear a new song? Only you and the creator has heard it so far." We all looked at each other like "ya right, I probably have a boot with it on there in the car." wink Then he put on P Control and we all danced to this new song that he created THAT day, now THAT was cool! It was a couple of days before the Love Experience shows at Glam Slam. I love that song, and I'm sure it has NOTHING to do with being one of the first to hear it and remembering Prince watching us dance to it lol

guess u had 2 be there at the time of release? i think it's pretty funky, especially if you get the actual CD and play it on an actual stereo system that has some actual boom -- try it then u might actually like it

"P Control" is funk at it's finest, my friend. I clicked with that song when I first heard it. A great way to kick off "The Gold Experience."

Pussy Control is the shiznit! Every club I go to that plays that song gets everyone out on the dance floor. It's got a slammin beat and the lyrics make me laugh everytime. And the chicks really dig it. They love danicing to this song and I love dancing with them!!!

I agree. It sound like hot sh!t. I don't care what anyone says. Like you, I was disappointed when I first heard P Control. People carry on so much about the song, that i was expecting it to be the bomb. confused

Whether you like it or not, Pussy Control has become somewhat of a classic. Like Erotic City, and Irristable bitch, it is a dance club favorite that people, some of whom don't even like Prince, can't resist.

I think it's a very good composition, a cool song. but it just sounds so
flat and tinkering. It could have done with some more stomping live drum
and such. Just to flesh it out a bit.

A song with such a statement should be hung upon a bit heavier beat imo.

for the rest, it's all good.

cool

I absolutely hate this song. I too have been baffled by its appeal.

This is a cringe-worthy and unlistenable song!

If Prince wants to make a song praising girls who can control their um, pussy, and show some respect for themselves as they pursue personal achievement ... he should use less vulgar language and less brash style of delivery. I'm not rocking on to this just cause it's an alleged girl anthem. Seriously. Makes me wince EVERYTIME I hear it.

Once he put pussy shock value in the lyrics, I guess he didn't feel the need to craft quality lyrics.

eek The lyrics are pure art!



Pussy said nigga, u crazy if u don’t know
Every woman in the world ain’t a freak
U can go platinum 4 times
Still couldn’t make what I make in a week
So push up on somebody wanna hear that
Cuz this somebody here don’t wanna know
Boy, u better act like u understand
When u roll with pussy control

love

You know when I first heard this song I didn't get it. Same thing with the Chaos and Disorder album. You may have to go back to this song because it really is brilliant. Yes it is weird but aren't we use to weird from Prince? It's weird, funny and funky. The rap is not meant to be a Jay-Z or Snoop type of thing. He's just telling you a story to keep you entertained.

Just focus on the groove, the groove is real nasty and then that silly screaming he does is a direct ode to Little Richard.

Trust me this man really is a musical genius (someone who has mastered their voice and lent a TREMENDOUS influence on music.)

peace,
Five

When I first heard the song, the first thing I thought was "silly, juvenile, and obnoxious".

But the more I listened to it, the more I began to appreciate its shameless attitude, intriguing message and flat out fun chorus.

Come on, how can a Prince fan not be charmed by lines like "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Boys and muthafuckin' girls"?

I love it now, much like The Gold Experience as a whole.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I don't much care for the album version myself. i like the versio he played on the VH1 Fashion Awards much better. That beat/ryhthm is much more funkier!

P-control is great because it is an empowering song for women. He sings about the power that women have(unfortunately too many give it up just cuz some dude has a car or says "i love u"). In this scenario, the girl was taught by her mother properly: she went on & got her education(master's degree) and made sure that she could take care of herself before she fell head over heels for some man.No self esteem issues there. Too bad other artists are not so positive when protraying women in their music.
