I have said the exact same thing before. Although So Far So Pleased is a completely different kind of song than CB it none the less sounds like a song that a younger person should do. I like what little I have heard of it but like So Far I can't help but think dude is 50... just give this joint to Brittany, Rhiana or Chris Brown and let them run with it.

But thats me... of course this is P's journey

old boy still wants to be played in the clubs... thats the only explanation I can give you... and I'm telling you if DJs didn't know that was Prince it would get play

"Chocolate Box" (Preview)

Lyrics...


I got a box of chocolates that will rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

(Wit it drums) **unsure

I got a box of chocolates that will rock the socks of any...
(Uhhh...uhh )
I got a box of chocolates that will rock the socks of any..

So whats the deal?
Why U fronting?
Keep it real
If U wanna get funky with me
If U think I got something that U want.....(fade)



Well so much for that

i can hear Britney Spears singing Chocolate Box.

just noticed the Linn stops at the 1st verse... probably comes back on the chorus.

surprised he didn't put the triple sidestick (Kah-kah-kah) after the 1st vocal line of the 1st verse, at the pause.

LOVE IT






[just wish he was coming to VA]

That Bria song is the time traveler poem that was in the 21 nights book, anyone notice?

love the energy, which was what was missing from planet earth

love esp the heavy breathing

lyrically, i hope it's going somewhere interesting, ie somewhere dirty,

music great though and does sound contemporary (which again is where planet earth fell down)..after reading LA times was expecting some amazing use of vocoder, but this doesn't sound too different from britney et al....but then am only listening on crappy laptop

Yaawn... "Rock the socks" If any other artist had released this I'd say they were whacked. Because it's Prince though I know I'm going to listen to it inside and out no matter what for the rest of my life. I like the energy level of the song, but the lyrics are corny. Why is he releasing new music anyway? He's already hooked us up and blown us away several times over. Hearing him struggle to hit the mark is painful.

Sort of reminds me of the line quoted by the reviewer in the blog:

Auto tune pisses me off, I never liked that and I think it will be very hard to really convince me by using it, but we'll see...

alexnvrmnd777 said:

Hi used "auto-tune" IN 3121 Album.....

Does this song have a real strong 1999 era feeling on it or is this a caricature?

that is defiantly Q-Tip at the first.

Giovanni777 said:

You mean on the three last eigth notes? Yeah, would be typical, but that break gives some air to breathe.

Sdldawn said:

Glad, I'm not the only one. Maybe they're updating the site.

airbak said:

As I said on another thread...

I'm hoping that this isn't a hint that "Colonized Mind" isn't being released.

Hard 2 understand why it would remain silent 4 this long.

Giovanni777 said:

nah, I just think they are updating. That one will be released i'm sure

Dave1992 said:

Yeah, at the end of the 1st line of the 1st verse... right after "Do U wanna get funky with me?"

Giovanni777 said:

That would be a little silly...considering most have already heard (and digitally captured) the track. It would serve no purpose to withdraw a song for "official" release when it's already been "released" to the public through a radio show. I play the sh*t out of that song myself, and I'm sure many others do as well. Understanding P's super unorthodox, not sure it would prove any kind of point to withhold a song like that when all most of us have to do to listen to it is to press "play" on our iPods...

I think it's just a boo-boo with the site. It'll be updated soon to include the track. Hopefully it's not another little sample though. That'd be kind of like my wife teasing me when we both know I'm going to get it later anyway! Silly P...

Sdldawn said:

I agree. We just have to be patient with this one.

Not feeling this one at all.

purplecam said:

I agree with you agreeing with Sddawn purplecam. I think it'll be up and running soon. I'm just a little confused though. Isn't the consensus that "Chocolate Box" will be included on the "MPLSOUND" record, and not "Lotus Flow3r"? Also, is this new site strictly for the "LF" record, or is it a more permamnent home to which he will promote future release on (like say 3121.com or npgmusicclub.com)?

Giovanni777 said:

Have we found out who created that blog yet?

ThirdStrike said:

We did hear Another Like Me and Bria's songs on there too; so far it rather looks like a permanent home. 3121.com was also some kind of "homepage", although it had the name of the album.

Sometimes he promotes the shit out of something (NPG everywhere in the 90s, 3121 everywhere 2006 until last year or something, now Lotus Flower..)

Dave1992 said:

You are absolutely right Dave. I guess as "3121" was basically a theme/platform to which he released future music from, "lotusflow3r.com" will serve the same purpose. Makes sense I guess....

Giovanni777 said:

...and, I wouldn't discount the legitimacy of this blog just yet. I'd hate to have to read new entries on it detailing the many "I'm sorry" emails he/she received after it was discovered to be real...

Of course, it could be fake as all Hell!! One never knows...

Where is everyone hearing Q-Tip in this song? I know he collaborated on one of the MPLSOUND tracks, but I don't hear him on Chocolate Box.... just Prince..?
