I don't mind Cat's rap. It's fun. Nobody expected her to be Chuck D, right?

That kind of reminds me when I first heard "Undisputed". It started just fine to my ears, was kind of interesting rhythmically and it was a nice transition from the title track, but when he gets to the chorus with all those chants I was like "oh, no" ("N-P-G! GET ROWDAY!"). Oh, yeah, and then comes Chuck D. A totally unnecessary inclusion on that track.

If I Was The Man In Ur Life :

Great song! But the endining sucks
The ending sounds out of place, doesnt even match the rest of the song

Digital Garden...starts off with some impressive instrumentation, puts some creative overlapping vocals on top of it...real nice subtle melody as well, sounds almost as if improvised on the spot.

Then, the guitar chords kick in towards the end lol ...completely out of place and didn't enhance the song one iota...not to mention the guitar had nothing interesting to it, very bland (except for the very end when it's fading out). Plus, when the guitar part starts, Prince stops singing and just does a rather tame spoken word vocal over the guitars. A rather unique song suddenly goes incredibly generic.

I feel the same way, regarding The Continental off the Symbol album!! Its a totally kick ass joint, untill he brings in Carmen Electra to do that hideous bullshit rap!! Ruins the whole track!!!!

Sorry Prince if You secretly log on here but I have 2 add "All my dreams"... Great song and fun at parts. Starts off very well then some bullshit happens in the middle namely the "marry me 2day & 2night we'll make love till the world stops turning" bullshiy. Then it gets back on track but oh hell no,,,2 late muthafucka, u done fucked up that song beyond repair now

And whilst we are on the subject, was it really neccessary to have the Lord's prayer in the middle of the song 'Controversy'?

Just ruined the song 4 me...I mean I had just listened to some nasty azz 'Do me baby' and now you wanna make me feel guilty with some church scriptures. Prince, c'mon man.

Breakfast Can Wait- It's a great song until that fucking chipmunk comes in and ruins everything.

In the early '90s it was usually a rap break by Tony M. In the last decade, it's been a latin jazz interlude. See: Planet Earth and F.U.N.K., etc.

.

Don't forget "Damned If Eye Do". That salsa-thing at the end completely ruins the song.

.

Also, that jammy end to "The Holy River". Completely unnecessary. It derails the vibe of the song.

Co-sign

"The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker"

It's a close-your-eyes experience until...

For me, that was unnnnnecesssssssssary.

Prost!

(P.S.)

(unnecessary bullshit would be the entire 1999 new master ep)

aww zelaira got to u also...

Lets give Prince some creit where credit is due though. He does sometimes put in neccessary bullshit. For example the last quarter of The Beautiful Ones

For example..I remember listening to Alphabet Street 4 the 1st time in summer 1988. I was really getting in2 that joint until some bullshit happened..namely :"Cat we need u 2 rap"..I was like errr no we don't

Eh, I think the rap and what follows is the best part of the song. WhenI first heard it till now.

Sticky like glue is AWESOME. Syncopated strut with flair...then he starts rapping and makes the entire thing embarrassing and silly. Everybody into me make a toast? C'mon bruh...u had to have known that was trite. I still love the song, but if I could edit that out I would marry it. As of now its a butter face I fuck with a brown bag.

Now this part does bring it down.
