Miles Davis - One Day My Prince Will Come


I was thinking of "Someday My Prince Will Come", so instead I'll add "Samuelle" - the prince and the showgirl

Of course Missy's 'Work it' which inspired a reply from Prince on 'The Marrying Kind'



Just 'cause I got a lot of fame super
Prince couldn't get me change my name papa
Kunta Kinte a slave again, no sir
Picture black sayin', "Oh, yes a master"



Does anyone know what she is referencing? And what the hell prince what replying about? Something about her weight??

There was a song he did called "the marrying kind" where he mentions "I'm gonna put cha on the same diet missy went on." Google the lyrics to the song

Prince sang "I'm going to put her on the same diet Missy went onnnnn!" but I have no idea what that was supposed to mean.

And I can't make heads or tails out of Missy's gibberish.



Sounds like she is referring to prince changing vanitys name from denise. I doubt that he actually tried to change missys name. Did he take it as a slight? Is that why he brought her name up in a future song in a negative way?


I took as Missy referencing Prince's name change in the 90 and not a slight at all.



Now Prince's line uhmmm, wel considering she lost the weight and look great it's debatable if it's a diss or compliment.


Are you serious that you can't understand "Missy's gibberish" in this section of Work It. It's very straightforward. I'm actually curious about what aspect or why you don't understand.

Just cause I got a lot of fame, supa
Prince couldn't get me to change my name, pa-pa
-- Missy became famous, so she might have to do some name changing like Prince (to deal with record company "slavery" as prince called it).
-- She became famous starting with her first album, Supa Dupa Fly, therefore the "supa" at the end of the sentence
-- I think the "pa-pa!" is just a sound for emphasis (like uh! Yeah! C'mon! etc.)

Kunta Kinte a slave again -- no sir
Picture black saying oh yessa massa
-- Kunta Kinte is a character from roots, arguably the most famous representation of slavery in U.S. media
- Here she closes out the reference to Prince's idea of artist slavery.
-- She's going to resist and rebel against this slavery, so there's no need for name changing.

Prince is not really talking about Missy. He's talking about the wife he's trying to steal away from her husband. She eats too much and Prince wants to put her on the diet Missy went on to lose weight.

He wants to put her on the same diet Missy went on, which is no diet because she's fine as she is, right? I had never paid much attention to that line until now.

I don't think he says so. I think he wants the diet Missy went on for the wife.
