I enjoyed "Emancipation" for what it was. But when I read the titles like "Jam Of The Year" and "Get Your Groove On", I was expecting some killer funk. I dug the loose, Sly-like funk on "Face Down"...And P's vocal on "The Human Body" reminded me of the "Controversy" era for some strange reason.

Whenever I hear the word "Emancipation", all I hear is Oprah Winfrey screaming Emancipation - she fucked that word up for me!

I've said it a million times, Emancipation is so good. It's my go-to summer album. Every year. I love all of disc 2, Somebody's, I can't make U love me, and a handful of others. I find it be a creative, and sexy album. I also remember the first time I heard, "you don't even know what kind of cereal I like....WRONG... captain crunch..." I mean, come on... Just dope all around crazy sexy cool

How'm I gonna fill this empty room...

And yes, it's a Prince album.
And before you say it's horrible, listen to it first, because I know you haven't!

Right about the rest of it, too, though. It is a Prince album, and it's unfairly... well, ignored more than maligned. More people never listened to it than said it was bad, it seems to me. Most of us who listened to it seem to like it.

"Here" is one of the most underrated and overlooked songs in P's catalog... it sounds like it could have been on any of his first 7 or 8 albums...the trademark Prince timing on the synth riffs, is magic...

Just recently I discovered exactly how wonderful this song is. I'm in love with it now. In fact, I don't see how I could have ever overlooked it. If it came out in the 1980s it would have been a hit, or at the very least universally recognized for it's brilliance.


It is a beautiful song. I love that record cuz of it and Valentina... Which also gets unfairly maligned as well. Awesome percussion and guitar work.

Hitnrun phase 1. I've never known a Prince album which divided the listeners as much as this! I loved it. Chaos and disorder caused a similar amount of debate when that was released, however, it didn't split the fans into two clear categories.
Mplsound is still a favourite of mine even though it doesn't seem to get a lot of attention. There again, I don't think much of For You! wink

MPLSound: I just skip Chocolate Box and stop it at the end of Ol' Skool Company, and it's a perfectly fine album to me. cool

I'll just throw in HIGH ... The choc inv and slauhterhouse are awful but early configs of the HIGH album are quite enjoyable compared to what came after

RAVE. People hate it because Larry says 'God' and Prince's hair is braided. You can't get much more 'unfairly maligned' than that.
