He created a very clever play on words.  "All of me  give 2 thee down at your feet ...
The reassurance in your rhythm speaks 2 me." -------------------------------------------------------- "I wanna hold U, wrap U up in lace. And I wanna kiss U, kiss U all over your face." |

Speaking of Tupac, does anybody know what Prince thought of him? Has Prince ever spoke of him or mentioned him? Onion Juice appears courtesy of Streethop.com | |

Not Sure but Tupac was a big prince fan. even said so on occasion. "Thinking like the Keys on Prince's piano, we'll be just fine" | |

The origin I believe as from the early 1900s in America -- black woman would innocently wear a cloth to put up their hair -- over time black men would wear a cloth too --- now here we are today and Black (and Latin) gangs are most known for still wearing the backwards cloth look, White people seem to wear a cloth covering the whole top of the head (but that creates a different look). I wear it backards sometimes when I go jogging and rollerskating. Perhaps there are other details of the origins -- is there a tradition of wearing a head cloth in Africa? 
Do people in Europe wear the backards do-rag too? "All of me give 2 thee down at your feet ...
