I hate Netflix cutting end credits off though. This time the most.

I like Chris Rock, it's a really funny show. But it felt weird as f*** hearing Prince's work used in this way.

He'd never have allowed it when he was alive. i know, we all sound like a broken record with that stuff, but it felt horrible. What's next, fucking beer commercials?

Not sure about that...Prince loved standup comedy and Chris Rock. There is a big difference in using the collaborative art of music, film and video versus the crass $$$ of commercials. Prince has allowed his work in Spike Lee’s Girl 6, Happy Feat, Risky Business, etc. I think the use of his movie in quality productions is inevitable.

On one hand, he might very well let Rock use it because they were friends and admired each other. On the other hand he might not because of objections to language used in the performance. But, if he said no to Chris, it would not be because of commercialism.

That said, going forward I expect to hear his music anywhere and everywhere, crass commercialism and all. I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been an abundance of it already to be honest.

You know that you have to ability to click on the credits and watch all of them, right?

I just saw the show. It made me laugh; I thought Chris was speaking the truth--his own, at least--and it made me think about the things that we do. Chris was both Prince's friend and a fan. I thought that his use of Prince's "Tamborine" as the outro was perfect. I'm sure that he paid fully for the rights to usage, too (unlike a Spotify streaming service, fa' instance)!

Just watched it. It was good. It was funny. Not up there with some of his cliassics from when he was in his prime but solid material from a master of his craft. Whether Prince would approve or not, his song over the credits was PERFECT.

I noticed that both he and Chappelle are starting to be more open about their own flaws and insecurities in their standup (maybe it is subsciously connected to Prince dying after being fearful of revealing his own vulnerabilities and needs for help) . I really respect that. Tambourine was a great choice for song and for metaphor.
