I recall reading about a song with this title or something similar. I believe its a newer one. Haven't heard it myself however doh!.

Correction: I've heard a minute and some change live version. Sounds ok music.

It sounds fantastic.

I hope he releases it. The synth riff sounds KILLER, this is just the kind of Prince song I like.

Lyric transcription:

We came to shut this down

Everybody knows

This is how it goes

Ain't no playing around

Just keep your eyes on me
If you want it, please

About to shut this down

My hand is money
My eyes is cold

Whatever you holdin'

You better fold

Cos when we drop this,

It's gonna make a sound

All around the world, when we come to town

We come to shut this down!!!

Funky little track. Fits well alongside "The Exs Face" and the Rita Ora banger in terms of them having a similar sound. Josh Weltons sound in particular. If you were to throw in "U Know" and the FnR Remix there are the makings of an all together "harder" and more upbeat sounding AOA.

What's this from, can't say I'm aware of it, is the one of the ones he played on the Yahoo Livestream?

For anyone wondering it's literally 'My Name Is Prince'. Same key, same metering, same production.

Edit: But no where near as good.

Yes, it's really bad.

But WB can adopt it as their theme song, when they take P to court this year.

It's not meant to be. It's crap seriously.

It lacks any real agression or attitude. Compare fabulously cocky lyrics like 'In the beginning God made the sea, but on the 7th day he made me' to 'when we drop this, it's gonna make a sound'.

A song like this needs a real cocky attitude that he hasn't had since the 90s.

Totally. It takes a special kind of crazy cockiness to say that My Name is Prince shit. Most importantly, you need to be badass enough to back that shit up. Prince in 1992 could. Prince now cannot.

And look at these corny lyrics. Do we need more empty boasting and juvenile tough rhymes from Prince? The guy is almost 57 years old. This shit is just embarrassing.

Everybody knows
This is how it goes
Ain't no playing around
Just keep your eyes on me
If you want it, please
About to shut this down
My hand is money
My eyes is cold
Whatever you holdin'
You better fold
Cos when we drop this,
It's gonna make a sound
All around the world, when we come to town

I'll just plan on listening to this song when nobody else is around. How embarrassing.

I dont think there is anything corny about the lyrics. They're not over the top. The synths towards the end are dope.

Other than the way that he delivers the lyrics the song has very little in common with MNIP.

Some Prince fans get upset that he's older than them and has way more swag.


This track slams.

It has everything in common with MNIP. The melody, phrasing and metering is almost identical. The production and feel is identical. It's also in the same key which almost makes me think it's purposeful.

Correction:

"A song like this needs a real cocky attitude that he hasn't had since Larry Graham" lol

Tbh I agrre and don't think the song is anything spectacular but whatever, he's still making music so I'm happy.
