'U Try 2 Shut Me Down' - Another PFU Inspired Hit!

OK maybe not a hit... but hey cool I made it so it's a hit in my own mind if no where else.
Wanted to do this last weekend... but I was... ummm... occupied biggrin

U Try 2 Shut Me Down ( a PFU Inspiration)<--- direct link

About PFunk... as a funky track I love it. It's lyrics are quite clever as well. The message behind the lyrics... well.. that's another story. But here is my inspired PFunk rebutal... PFU tribute... inspiration.. reason to use neat software... what ever you wanna call it... I had fun making it.

Lyrics:

U try 2 shut me down (PFU inspiration)
*****
Always been there 4 U
Even when everybody thought U lost Ur kool
Yet U discourage me
From B'in the fam, U wanted me 2 B
Those were Ur words
Didn't like fans, we were family
But every time I turn around
What a way to treat a fam, U try 2 shut me down

Scandalous, delirious
Taking on Ur fan base, man R U serious
What is it that U really hope 2 gain
Pissing off the only people still praising Ur name

Like the wild wild west U got a gun 4 hire
Time 2 put the Web Sheriff over the fire
He really don't know who he's fuckin' with
We ain't going quiet, taking none of his shit

Always been there 4 U
Even when everybody thought U lost Ur kool
Yet U discourage me
From B'in the fam, U wanted me 2 B
Those were Ur words
Didn't like fans, we were family
But every time I turn around
What a way to treat a fam, U try 2 shut me down

Suing to the left, Suing to the right
Every where I turn you wanna fight, fight, fight
All we wanna do is share a picture of U
Or watch a video or get a phat tatoo

Don't B trippin' on the things we say
We got mad luv 4 U anyway
U gotta realize, baby Ur a star
It was the fans like me that put U where U are

Always been there 4 U
Even when everybody thought U lost Ur kool
Yet U discourage me
From B'in the fam, U wanted me 2 B
Those were Ur words
Didn't like fans, we were family
But every time I turn around
What a way to treat a fam, U try 2 shut me down

What the hell U doing coming after Ur fans
We ain't the ones making money off of U man
The only one making money here is U
Cause we pay Ur ass 4 every fuckin' thing that U do

Yeah U got rights, don't nobody doubt 'em
But just because U got 'em, don't mean that we ain't got 'em
E-bay, Pirate Bay take the fuckers on
But please leave Ur loyal fan base alone... really

Always been there 4 U
Even when everybody thought U lost Ur kool
Yet U discourage me
From B'in the fam, U wanted me 2 B
Those were Ur words
Didn't like fans, we were family
But every time I turn around
What a way to treat a fam, U try 2 shut me down

U try 2 shut me down
U try 2 shut me down
U try 2 shut me down
U try 2 shut me down

Always been there 4 U
Even when everybody thought U lost Ur kool
Yet U discourage me
From B'in the fam U wanted me 2 B
Those were Ur words
Didn't like fans, we were family
But every time I turn around
What a way to treat a fam, U try 2 shut me down

These sites would go on without pictures.
It's all some of these people have..

Some of them have even tried to make a business out of it..

Yet you can't post business on their websites (hmmm..)

i think Prince Fans and Fams should understand that the Legal Action occuring at present, is not a personal attack on Fans/Fams. Come ON!!!! All Prince is doing is Protecting himself against people who are using him. i am in FULL SUPPORT of what Prince is doing. In fact i am in shock that so many "so called Fans/Fams" aren't big enough to support him also.

I'm shocked he's not big enough to know that as a celebrity who's lived his entire career off of the support of his fan/fams, that threatening to sue the sites where they choose to congregate and share their love for him, was a moronic idea and would most certainly be viewed as a personal attack on them!!

Actually if you checked my Myspace blog or a post I made at Housequake.com... you'ld see that I understand the legal issues about the whole situation more than most. That being said... I still have opinions concerning the gray areas as there is no clear cut answer to satisfy both sides of the debate with out them coming to some resolution on thier own or in a court of law. Therfore any opinion I stress thru written word or song... is strictly in itself a right I have un-questionable. Also if there was no issue of personal attack vs. his fan base... then there would have been no cease and desist notices sent to his 'fan based' web sites in the first place stating the removal of images, demands concerning content in general and asking for financial damages...? If that isn't attacking your fan base at the core... then I don't know what is.

But I degress... if you support Prince in his or his representatives current actions... then you must also support my right of free speach and expression. Just because I do not suport his stand does not mean I am any less a fan nor does it mean tht my character isn't big enough because I don't heard like cattle very easy and just take what anyone dishes out with out question. Unless a person is just spewing hate for the sake of hate which is a sign of small character in the first place... which I am not... then I and those like myself are even a 'bigger' people in fact for standing up for what we beleive in... instead of submitting our opinions and wills to a 'man' because of some archaic sense of idol worship.

I luv Prince and have done so for more than 25 years... non-stop... but every morning he wakes up... he is just a man... as am I. And as a man... he is not with out fault and can be wrong. As I have said a few times on this issue.... "...just because you have rights... don't mean you are right". I suport his cause in going after the organizations which make a profit at his and other artist's expense... but I don't support his actions vs.the fans sites whose members are a large source of the profits he has made over the past three decades. As I said in my song..

"What the hell U doing coming after Ur fans
We ain't the ones making money off of U man
The only one making money here is U
Cause we pay Ur ass 4 every fuckin' thing that U do"

And lastly.... if you have anything else to comment to me directly about this issue... take it up in IM please... there are enough threada debating this subject already... and this wans't meant to be one of them.

You are over reacting and at this point i would say not very understanding of Prince's feelings!

i'm not debating, and i don't want an enemy, but Prince is Protecting his basic rights and image. i am a 42 yr old twice divorced female of 2 children. i know how people have tried to take advantage of me. Prince is a Genius, Popular, Gorgeous and MOST IMPORTANTLY LOVING! People ARE Jealous-----THere are Coniving People out there trying to take advantae of Prince and hurt him! Just take a look at the world and try to dispute that one!. The REAL POINT HERE IS THAT PRINCE IS INNOCENT AND HE IS ONLY TRYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND HIS MUSIC!!!!!

If he wwas so concerend aboutbhis basic rights and image from the start... then mega mutli-million album selling, high profile, celebrity lifestyle, renowned musical genius, public icon with millions of fans world wide.... Was not the business for him to get into. Like every other celebrity before and after... some of the rights the rest of us have are compromised by his status. It comes with the job.

'Innocent'...? You speak as if Prince is some naive little school boy fresh out of the gate in the world of big enterprise and music. Prince is NOT a guppy in this business.. he is one of the biggest predators out there.

'Loving'...? OH MY GAWWWDDDDD!!! Prince loves his music first... and himself seconmd. Period! Any one who deosn't know this are either not a fan..or...too much of a fan to the point its... kinda ... clinical. eek

I'm typically not one to criticize... but when you mention your own problems with peeps taking advantage of you... you sound as if you are mearly projecting your issues onto Prince.

And more to the point.... none of what you said has anything to do with his fans. Whaaa..? Is he's trying to protect himself against us...???

I am 39... divorced only once after 15 years of marriage... and people have taken advantage of me as well. But ya know wht... that has nothing to do qwith this situation what so ever. I can only imagine the issues Prince has... but the ones with his own fans.. he creates himself.

You will never hear or read of me making a hateful coment towards him ever.... but just becuase i have luv for person does not exclude them for being wrong or going about certain matters in the wrong way.

Take up your issues with those who have some sadistic love/hate towards Prince yet can't pull way from his fan boards no matter how much they cl;aim he has lost it and call him ever name under the book..?

I'm not one of them.

But i can still look Prince in the eyes and tell him he's going about this business in the wrong way and his fansd are the primary casualties.

OK...first of all, the fans, fams, whatever you want to call them are NOT trying to take away Prince's rights...we are the ones who are supporting him, promoting him and admiring him as the musical genius he is. Secondly, the whole PFU concept runs deeper than us being upset about not being able to show images of him. How many times do people have to stress this issue before you and others who view PFU as a direct attack on Prince "get it"?

So in your view, because Prince is "a genius, popular, gorgeous and loving" he is above the law? My goodness...Prince is human like you and me and has flaws - HE MAKES MISTAKES!! No one is taking advantage of Prince...hello, HE is the one who has the money power to drive us all into poverty. If Prince was so "loving" would he be looking to sue his loyal fan base because they were showing his image, likeness or speaking about him? That's what being an entertainer, musician and celebrity is all about - being in the public eye.

Some of the fans need to wake up and get out of the purple haze! eek

I'm shocked he's not big enough to know that as a celebrity who's lived his entire career off of the support of his fan/fams, that threatening to sue the sites where they choose to congregate and share their love for him, was a moronic idea and would most certainly be viewed as a personal attack on them!!

You are over reacting and at this point i would say not very understanding of Prince's feelings!


Prince apparently doesn't understand MY feelings, so why should I understand his? Because he's Prince? SO!!!! He'd just be Mr. P. Nelson, Minneapolis laid off factory worker # whatever, if I didn't understand him!!

nod You got that right!!!
Just between me and you: I've given up to argue with Regina. She has created this perfect image of Prince that has nothing to do with the person Prince. It's beyond me, that she assumes that Prince is a 'kind' 'loving','understanding' person, when she doesn't know him personally.
But if it makes her feel better, to believe that Prince is the perfect man, no matter what he does, so be it!! rolleyes
There are more important things in life than Prince!
love the one who is Love!

i think Prince Fans and Fams should understand that the Legal Action occuring at present, is not a personal attack on Fans/Fams. Come ON!!!! All Prince is doing is Protecting himself against people who are using him. i am in FULL SUPPORT of what Prince is doing. In fact i am in shock that so many "so called Fans/Fams" aren't big enough to support him also.

Actually if you checked my Myspace blog or a post I made at Housequake.com... you'ld see that I understand the legal issues about the whole situation more than most. That being said... I still have opinions concerning the gray areas as there is no clear cut answer to satisfy both sides of the debate with out them coming to some resolution on thier own or in a court of law. Therfore any opinion I stress thru written word or song... is strictly in itself a right I have un-questionable. Also if there was no issue of personal attack vs. his fan base... then there would have been no cease and desist notices sent to his 'fan based' web sites in the first place stating the removal of images, demands concerning content in general and asking for financial damages...? If that isn't attacking your fan base at the core... then I don't know what is.

But I degress... if you support Prince in his or his representatives current actions... then you must also support my right of free speach and expression. Just because I do not suport his stand does not mean I am any less a fan nor does it mean tht my character isn't big enough because I don't heard like cattle very easy and just take what anyone dishes out with out question. Unless a person is just spewing hate for the sake of hate which is a sign of small character in the first place... which I am not... then I and those like myself are even a 'bigger' people in fact for standing up for what we beleive in... instead of submitting our opinions and wills to a 'man' because of some archaic sense of idol worship.

I luv Prince and have done so for more than 25 years... non-stop... but every morning he wakes up... he is just a man... as am I. And as a man... he is not with out fault and can be wrong. As I have said a few times on this issue.... "...just because you have rights... don't mean you are right". I suport his cause in going after the organizations which make a profit at his and other artist's expense... but I don't support his actions vs.the fans sites whose members are a large source of the profits he has made over the past three decades. As I said in my song..

"What the hell U doing coming after Ur fans
We ain't the ones making money off of U man
The only one making money here is U
Cause we pay Ur ass 4 every fuckin' thing that U do"


And lastly.... if you have anything else to comment to me directly about this issue... take it up in IM please... there are enough threada debating this subject already... and this wans't meant to be one of them.


I like part of your song most of all! clapping
