I love this fucking song to death.

The kick drums are so fucking dope.

The lyrics are out of this world. This song is damn sure better than "Face Down", "The Flow" and "Arrogance".

I love dead on it also, but i think days of wild is even better

The Good Life (Big City Remix) is his best rap ever!

18 & Over comes in at second followed by the rap verse on Acknowledge Me.

Im listening 2 Rave Un2 & theres a sexy rap on The Sun,The Moon & Stars....2.45 in2 song eye love this alot.....is even a rap?????eye give up!!!check it out!!

I can't stand "Dead On It".

Is it not ironic that it was an indictment of rap?

It's a great song, but it's not his best rap. It sounds like the fresh prince.

It's supposed to!

Love this track. Especially the guitar.

Brill track from a brill album.

I know you can't compare them, but I'll still have to mention P Control here. It's not only his best rap, because it's so on fucking point and the delivery is perfect, it's also one of his musically best songs, in my opinion. That synth line, the melody in the chorus, it's almost psychedelic!

the only part about 'dead on it' i dont like is when he says hes badder than a wicked witch

What's wrong with that? It's a line from Holly Rock.

I think "Days Of Wild" is his best,most convincing rap tune but "Dead On It" is cool too.

I agree,that part is silly.

Low point of a good album

No, the rap on Let´s Pretend We´re Married is

That was Sheila E.'s line in the song.

Prince, rap and best in the same sentence

I've always loved this song, I don't understand why many don't..LOL. The lyrics are so funny.."I got a gold tooth, cost more than your house..I got a diamond ring on 4 fingers, each one a size of a mouse" Hahahaha..It's a funny testament to some arrogant lyrics found in some of the early rap. Prince is no beast at rapping but the production is what makes this killer! My favorite rap from him is by far "Days of Wild & P Control.

I like it when I think of it as tongue in cheek but I do think it's pretty damn hammy

yeah sorry, i just assume he wrote it so i didnt bother to differentiate

It's a GREAT song with great guitar work and production... BUT...

I wouldn't consider it a "real" rap attempt... it's Prince kind of making fun of the genre... but still putting time into the production.

That's why he starts it in the nerdy white voice with the Minnosota accent.

I wish there was also an intrumental version... the mix and noises are really good.

And it features the best pronounciation of "Dracula".

4 sho.

I like the rap at the end of "Acknowledge Me". And also "Prince and the Band" when he performs it in a tough way with the hard beat.

I LOVE Acknowledge Me.

Days of Wild is cool too. I tend to skip Dead On It.

What about Sexy MF??? I think that was pretty cool, probably his best!
