Is this Prince song any good, heehee?

Lawd Jesus, Pops got too many songs I never heard of...

sure it is

Flash. Forward.

Plz, put it on now! I love this jam and era. He gone, he gone.....

I have been hearing this all day!

.

I been going through the old NPGMC website and love watching the into which uses this track.

.

A track of pure quality!!!!

.

it's super great, one of my favorit tracks from that era.

I bought the Bambozzled soundtrack just for this song back in 2001?

Me too. I was disappointed.

yeah i think i bought mine used for under $10 bucks

I have no idea what else is on the soundtrack

I love it. Deeply. I love the whole High/Peace/Slaughterhouse/ChocolateInvasion sessions.

Likewise, certainly worth it for one track!!

Not a great song. Prince had ~45 CDs released under his own name. Every one of those I'd give at least 6/10. I'd give CI a 5 and TS 4/10. Even Kamasutra and Xpectation are better.

Well from other posters, I need to take a listen....hhhmmm

I love it. Deeply. I love the whole High/Peace/Slaughterhouse/ChocolateInvasion sessions.

[/quot I was not a member of the club, so I have only recently bought those releases and am not drawn to them on the first couple of listens like I am for most of his albums. I want to be more open to them, so I was curious about what you like so much about that period.

To me there was a certain "back to basics" thing to them: minimalist electrofunk, linn drum, a very sexy attitude, just what you need of bragging and the delicate elegance of the so-called plastic era all at the same time. I love the melodies. I love the lyrics. And the whole sessions are so damn funky. I was grooving to The Slaughterhouse just some minutes ago: Northside, Peace, 2045 Radical Man and The Daisy Chain back to back, God! What a jam! And MBN's marvelous horns works of course!

I think those sessions capture the very essence of what Prince's music is, and everything that had made me like it in the first place a decade earlier is there. In that sense I've always failed to see how so many people who are supposedly Prince fans could dislike those songs, because to me they're everything Prince has ever been about. And Prince is just so totally himself there: the songs don't sound like something he recorded for release, but like something he recorded for himself.

The melodies are weak for the most part. It's as though someone attempted an imitation act and people bought it. He's also done better grooves than those aforementioned.

Well let's agree to disagree.

Both albums are marginally better than Stevie Wonder's The Secret Life of Plants. Everything's relative I guess.

I loved this song from the moment I heard it. "If this world was fair and right, they'd give up the car keys this very night!...We don't care what Albert Einstein did. I'd rather know how they built a pyramid."

To think Prince could've even been around in 2045. I'd love to have known what he thinks of the world when it comes round. He'd only be 86 or 87 then.

Antarctic Mining Treaty, dude! That's why you have TRUMP now!
