not really .. it's not sampled, there's Linn drums in there ..but that's about it..

brilliant, i love it!

That's original.....

i like it....
but it sounds too much like P

wow...
my generation, man

Prince use to have balls....now he has religion. - Nothinbutjoy

kinda sounds like automatic

I think she wants to be Prince.

I haven't heard it, but if it gets the younger generation to back up and listen to the mentors of previous years...That will be a world blessing.

I actually like this. I see it as more of an homage than a rip-off. It won't be found on my playlist, but it sounds pretty cool.

I likesss it.

I thought u were gonna say shes gay or somethin..
That song sux ass BIGtime.

"Controversy" is not sampled here. And you guys have obviously never heard "Never Win" by Fischerspooner.

break THE purple GoD

Since you brought it up, besides the obviously intentional, stated and credited Michael Jackson chunk in "Don't Stop The Music," what else has Rihanna sampled or "clearly" sounded like?

I smell generation gap.

And she sampled Blue Monday for Shut Up and Drive didn't she?

For real. I read Stargate produced this, which is very disappointing.

I think it's a publicity stunt for Rihanna, considering all the recent news about her "looking like" Prince (which she certainly does not in my eyes), so now she wants to sound like him.

I hope Prince sends his legal team after them. LOL. She's already ripped off enough people. Everything she releases either contains a sample, or clearly sounds like a mega-hit of another real/original vocal artist of the past or present. Looks or not, I will never understand her popularity in music.

Not a sample at all. It ticks a lot of the right boxes, reminds me of some early house tracks from the early 80s as opposed to Prince's brand of the MPLS sound, as it's much more conventional rhythmically. There's always an element missing though in these sound-a-like tracks from recent years, like they've found the linn drum samples, but they don't know how to use them right.

Hated it!

possible the worst song ever. ugh that woman makes me sick.

Wow this is a total rip off, don't think its samples P (unless the Linn drum is sampled) - but Prince could sue.

It's not a sample, but it sure sounds like whoever wrote/produced this song had Controversy in mind when they did.

Nikster...Nikademus...whatever, I'm still Nik
