Ciara -- Promise

The mood is so right, how it feels so right
You can be my prince, my knight
You can be my Superman, save me here I am

Thanks TVD, but I think this is more of a general prince reference than a name drop of P. Plus she's a singer. Thanks again, though.

I forgot to mention that Promise also sounds like a rip-off of a Prince slow jam.

As High As Wu Tang Get does not mention Prince. It's Prints on the strings of his guitar. Prints not Prince.

That doesn't make any sense. neutral

I googled the lyrics and both sources says Prints not Prince

As High As Wu-Tang Get"

(Come on in)
[Ol Dirty singing]
Dinn-dnn-dnn-ta-dnn
(come on in)
Dinn-dnn-ta-dnn, dinn DNN DAH
(come on, come on, come on in)
Dnn-da-duh-duh-DAH, you BITCH ASS niggaz!
(come on in, come on, come on, come on in)

[Intro/Chorus: Ol Dirty/Osirus]

As high as Wu-Tang get
Allah allow us pop this shit
Just like black shoe fit
If you can't wear it, well don't fuck with it!

[Verse One: The Genius/GZA]

Yo, too many songs, weak rhymes that's mad long
Make it brief Son, half short and twice strong
No doubt, it took time searchin, eventually
it was prime urgent, for you to examine the rhyme merchant
Lace MC's with styles when they rhyme drunk
On a label hunt, until twenty thou, out the trunk
Eight Diagram sword swinga armored tank force
RZA throw in the disc but then change the bank source
You can't flow, must be the speech impediment
You got lost off the snare off Impeach the President
Whether in Amsterdam smokin seven grams of green
then you pack, a thousand white teens in tight jeans
This Witty Unpredictable shot is critical
to analytical analogy, insurance policies why
Said he know that sounds define the note
Couldn't recognize, blast him the fuck behind the ropes
Too many dope niggaz I see starvin
Catch a single deal, a possible plea bargain
Wu slay regardles to whom or what, five mics five nights
Hang him from the balcony, drop twenty-five flights
A fugitive bass playin rap czar
smoke the cigars, his prints on the strings of his guitar

[Chorus]

[Verse Two: Method Man/Iron Lung]

Tical got a hold on ya, doin exactly
what the fuck I mariju-wanta, dis nigga nasty
Deep in the dirty dungeon, buggin, lovin
the ways these rhymes keep comin, at cha splash ya
Get your head piece fractured, with killer cuts
prone to drops ya, slash ya, rip shit up
Got this whole thing Tang mastered, sho nuff
An MC too good to be touched, John John
bring the phenomenon, I cold crush
MC, inferiorities they froze up, ice cold
as we move on, saga unfold
Captivated by a saga that go untold, like Goldfinger
Caught up in a cliffhanger
Yo I-N-S another code red, danger, break out the vest
Now it's tactical warfare, it's all here
Come with your shield and hardware, it be on here
Don't ever roam, in the naked city
Eight Fingers stories none pretty
Bomb em wit the Witty Unpredictable, conditionin be critical
Peace to Tang, gettin high on your physical, dis next drink
is a toast to your memory
When I go how many niggaz gon' remember me

[Chorus]

Yo yo, man, whassup, man?
Whassup man, you sayin' Prince? Say Prince?
It's Schoolly D., man, we rap!

schoolly d No More Rock N Roll (dirty version)

Fuck Cinderella, fuck Bon Jovi and muthafuck Prince man…this is RAP!

This is not in the main body of the song. It's from the talking intro part of the song, before the music starts

Wyclef has a track called "Year of the Dragon", and Lauryn raps about some chick in bellevue:

"She lost her prince cause there were thieves in the temple"

Not really about Prince, but definitely a reference.

Thanks. Technically, I gotta add this one, but fuck Fat Joe for the diss.


It's ok because what's Fat Joe doing now? Does anybody care?

'Famous' from the 'My Machine' album

"me and Prince eatin ribs

'You Get Mad at Napster' from 'Princess Superstar Is' album

"A sticky handcuffed pic of buff Courtney Love, one of Prince's aborted doves, a Jackson glove..."

I'm not hip to Princess Superstar, but I'll check these out. Thanks.

BTW, the first quote?... falloff

If you check her out, go for the 'My Machine' album - Classic smile

DoctorMambo

Prince is mentioned in the Goldie Lookin' Chain song called Guns don't kill people, rappers do.

The line goes "it's a sign o the times like Prince changing his name"

It's at the 2.50 mark:
