An amazing album, love the track, 'Elixir'. Whenever I listen to this I put it on repeat like 10 times! Also love 'Feel Good...', 'Valentina', Ol' Skool Co.' and 'No More Candy'.

When it comes to 'colonized mind':

Using the slave / colonisation-label combined with ignorant shit about evolution and religion is simply a no-go area for me.

If one of my friends or family-members would talk that away, i would fear for their mental health.

Some others might find some wisedom / reflection into it, but to me its simply so offputting allready on a surface-level that i aint bothered to look further into those lyrics. On gutfeeling they are pisspoor and annoying allready.

The same issue i allready had with the entire Rainbow Children Album and the lyrics of several songs after that: The Word, Chelsea Rodgers to name a few.

I don't take ignorant, shortminded shit from people who I love and care for, why should i give an artist who expresses himself that way the benefit of doubt?

So what subject matter do u prefer? Sing about hoes, the club, and watch kind of car 2 buy?

Nope, not at all, like its is so black and white or superficial.

IMO Prince's recent lyrics about social and religious issues are so very dogmatic, shortminded and first of all: confused, i can't relate to them at all.

What i especially hate about these lyrics is that he presents himself as some wise Mr. know-it-all, when on a philosophical level his lyrics are just piss-poor.
