"Go" was recorded more than a year before "Housequake"...

I suppose it's possible that he sampled "Housequake" and added it to the version of "Go" that's circulating, but that's doubtful.

"PartyUp" is sampled in MNIP:

My Name is Prince

(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)
(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)
(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy) (Prince)
(I wanna be your lover) (Partyup) (Controversy)
My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince the one and only
I did not come 2 funk around
'Tll I get your daughter I won't leave this town
In the beginning God made the sea
But on the 7th day he made me
He was tryin' to rest y'all when He heard the sound
Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down
I tried to bust a high note, but I bust a string
My God was worried 'til he heard me sing

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince the one and only - hurt me

(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
Hurt me (Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)

My name is Prince and I am funky
When it come to funk I am a junky
I know from righteous I know from sin
I got 2 sides and they both friends
Don't try 2 clock 'em, they're much too fast
If u try to stop 'em they kick that ass
Without a pistol, without a gun
When u hear my music you'll be havin' fun
That's when I gottcha that's when u mine
To tell the truth, tell me what's my line'

My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only - hurt me (You can't stop Prince)

(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody) (Prince)

My name is Prince, I don't wanna be king
Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream
Big cars and women and fancy clothes
Will save your face but it won't save your soul
I'm here to tell you that there's a better way
Would our Lord be happy if He came 2 day'
I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than u
But if u want 2 play with me, u better learn the rules

My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince)
I did not come 2 funk around (You can't stop Prince)
'Till I get your daughter I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this - leave this - leave this

My name is Prince and I am funky (You can't stop Prince)
My name is Prince the one and only (You can't stop Prince)
Funky fresh 4 the 90's (Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
(Do that, do that, somebody)
Hurt me (Do that, do that, some....)

The funkier I be
The funkier I get, oh shit
Lickety split on the lyric
A new jack in the pulpit
Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'
What is this u're seekin''
The syncopated rhymes are at their peak
When you jumped on my D.I.C.K.
That's the one thing that I don't play
The jock strap was 2 big 4 u anyway
U're just a simpleton
I'll bust u like a pimple, son
My star is 2 bright
Boy, I'll sink u like the ship Poseidon Adventure
U're bumpin' dentures 2 be cocksure
There must be more coming from
your mouth than manure.
So with a flow and a spray, I say hey
U must become a prince before u're king anyway

(Do that, do that somebody)
(Do that, do that somebody)

It's time I get ig-nig-nig-nig-nig-nig-n-ignorant
Def be the beat that I'm rockin'
Yo so, come get a hit
And put your thinking cap on
U've been forewarned
I call upon the inner forces that I've got brewin'
In my cauldron. That means my nugget...
Sometimes I'm rugged
The style I posses be havin'
The other brothers buggin' and this is 4 those who oppose
And propose 2 overexpose disclose
Pose a threat 2 my brother
Like any other man makin' a stand
I'll be damned if I let u play this hand
I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked
What do u expect 2 win when u're used to playing craps'

(Do that, do that somebody)
Hell yeah, let's get this under the hmm...
(Do that, do that somebody)

"Damn." It's gettin' tricky
I mean it's a sticky situation
2 resurrect a groove with feeling
And give it this much affection
Passion flows and who knows
What lurks in the gallows of my mind
I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow
12 inches of non-stop sole
I'm on a roll with P, and it's time for the show
So do that, do that somebody
Wave your hands in the air
This is a motherfucking party
While u're laying back I'm on the attack paddywhack
Give yourself a bone
This is my house and I'm prone
2 layin' some chrome upside some motherfuckers dome
And I'm out...

My name is Prince and I am funky
My name is Prince the one and only

My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince
My name is Prince

My name is Prince

I've never seen the Prince lyrics of this song written out like that. Prince's lyrics are pretty good for this song! "God made the sea...on the seventh day he made me!" Ha!

The Line #2 is sampled in "Partyman (video mix)", "The Latest Fashion", and of course "Acknowledge Me".

This is interesting.

Need timings.

Sounds like the "prince" in the "My Name is Prince" intro sample chant is Arsenio introducing him on his show. Oh wow, Doctor Detroit is on and I think I heard "Sexy Dancer".

I noticed that on the leaked song 'Go' just as the guitar solo starts you can hear "Shut up" sampled from Housequakes "Shut up already, damn" First of all, am I right? Second, is this the earliest case of Prince sampling Prince. And thirdly, what other Prince songs does he do this in? I know there are lots in 'Girl 6' but that song is the equivalent of a montage flashback episode of a sitcom.

the earliest case of Prince sampling Prince is the 12 inch version of Let's Work. Annie Christian and Controversy are sampled. I don't even think it was called sampling back then.

Why would he sample his own guitar solos? Did he not have his guitar at hand?

Am I crazy or there's no guitar solo in "Go"? Are you talking about another outtake?

And, yes, please, Mindbells9, could you give the exact positions of the "Line #2" samples in "Partyman (video mix)" and "The Latest Fashion"?

On "The Line #2" after Boni starts the second verse, at the 1:25 mark you hear the background voices say "YIP YIP YOOOOO!!"

That part is sampled on "The Latest Fashion" during the second verse right after Prince says "...this time the tables are turned" at the 1:10 mark, though the sample is a little slowed down.

Also, at the 2:02 mark of "The Line #2" there is a vocal sample that is used in "Partyman (video mix)" at the 3:34 mark during Candy's sax solo, and again at the 3:42 mark, this time sped up.

Thanks, I'll need to dig up these songs to check, listen and enjoy the old stuff...

he also samples Tamborine on the extended version of Thieves in the Temple (after "i am the best, better than the rest, better than the thieves in the temple tonight...) -- probably one of his best self-sampled pieces.
