U Make My Sun Shine = THE shadiest P track ever!! [D'Angelo dis?!]

LAWD HAVE MERCY! Listening to D's Voodoo when 'Untitled..[how does it feel] came on. What a great track & as described by ?Questlove it was their audition for Prince....awwwww!

A few months later our Purple hero released U Make My Sun Shine. Not only was it done in the same vibe musically & lyrically BUT he did it with Angie Stone [who had recently split with D?!]

If THAT isn't the ultimate in P shade I don't know what is!!

Ya, but also the Undisputed remix he talked shit about Quest and Dangelo for dogging him in the Voodoo liner notes etc

Shelby was also background singer on the Voodoo tour.

Discussed here at the time of release, and a number of times subsequently, for example:

If Prince did U Make My Sun Shine as a "diss" to D'Angelo then I'm afraid Prince came off as second best.

Yeah I definitely thought it was a not-so-sly dig at D’ and ?. Getting his babymama on the track was the kicker.

And Saul went nuts on those liner notes. I appreciate them a lot more now than I did 19 years ago.

Not sure which is better, but U Make My Sun is extremely underrated...a brilliant deconstruction of Gospel with great lyrics and vocal arrangement. Angie Stone is fierce.

What did the Liner Notes say?

Untitled was a tribute to Prince. Hence the Name “Imuntitled”, it was made when P was talking all hus unpronounceable name stuff.

Yeah, but... "Daisy Chain" has that pretty direct line "funky like a junky with cornrows" and in the video there's the shot of "Chicken Grese" along with Morris in cornrows smoking a cigarette.

Now THAT was direct. I think it was after that interview came out where D or Quest said D felt slighted after meeting him, almost like "he needed to take a shower afterward" because he felt used and discarded by one of his heroes. That whole short period felt like a pissing contest. I'm glad that P at least really enjoyed D's work and just viewed him as competition at the time. He especially enjoyed "Black Messiah", from what I'd heard.

Oh, my, God. Angie on the track and in the video. Prince, easy.

Biggy and Tupac would tell folk how major that is if they could.

What?

The only dig here was Prince toward the music industry, Prince was saying they (artists) should learn the Undisputed truth & get free of the commerlization of music. I never really picked up on any shade being thrown by Prince, Angie Stone, D'Angelo or Questlove. I look for shady lyrics (lol). I believe Angie Stone & D'Angelo remained friends after they broke up. I think Prince was just trying to get more exposure to the neo soul crowd thru Angie as well as D'Angelo & Questlove. Not saying Prince never Diva'd them
