Okay guys it's time to get sappy and mushy here. As much as Prince, Sly and other big-timers are inspirations for me, you guys inspire me just as much and make me want to try new things. I'd like to pay honor and tribute shout outs, etc. to you guys: A year ago especially after project NFO it seemed like one big happy family here. As with all families, a little dissention got in the way of things but the love for music is still there. So give all of your shout outs and tributes here.

So here is my tribute list...and the reasons why I love your music.

Otan: You've always fused rock and funk so well. My favorites from you: Too Rich, Too Heavy, Life Can Be So Nice and Star 69.

Paisleypark 4: The most experimental cat here who really maximizes his resources My favorite from you: He Goes Away From Me and You Make Me Feel Mighty Real

Jshua: You never cease to amaze me. My favorites from you: Sweet Erotica and Damn

Artist08: Very prolific and your sound is so clean. My favorite from you: The Velvet Promise.

Cloud9Mission: Listening to you is like hearing Prince start his career again...it's bliss. My favorite from you: Make Funk Not War and Thump.

VinaBlue: Sometimes you are like the mother who always holds things together and has nothing but kind words for everyone. My favorite from you: Belong.

DreZone: You two are the New Breed of Funk. My favorites from you, respectively: Cranston Park & Journey In2 the Retrofuturistic.

Electric Purple: You scared the shit outta me at first. Slowly but surely, I think I'm beginning to understand where you're coming from My favorites from you so far: Blue Jesus and Drive.

erikd/MoveGaGA: I think you're fairly new here. But I really dig what you and your band are doing. My favorite from you: High Steppin' Lady.

Littlewing: I swear you are the love child of Bootsy and Prince. My personal favorite from you: Down4Whateva

marcdeondotcom: You do a really good job of fusing electronica and soul. If Sade had a male counterpart, it would be you. My favorite by you: Ga-Ga

sacredwarrior/PilotBeacon: Great voice and great arrangements. You are a she-Prince My favorite by you: Rapture.

Slave2daGroove/funkaholic : You guys are so damn funky and have got electro-funk coming out of your wazoos.

JDodson/Flashpointe: I know one way or another this message will get to you. I don't get to check you out as until I see you dominating the soundclick funk charts. My favorite from you: The Forever Endeavor.

If you don't see your name, it's not necessarily because I forgot you or don't like your music. It's either because I'm not entirely familiar with your work yet or the fact that it's almost 2'o clock in the morning and I need to get in bed so I can job-hunt tomorrow. On that note, and to you all.

Great props!

Now let me tell you how cool your stuff is to me!

Thanks and any and all great things you've said I can easily say about your music as well! Inspiring, innovative, solid, and just WAY too damn funky.

Yeah, I second that

Psyko, what a beautiful thread. I think everyone pretty much knows how much I love them and why... Let me tell you, if you get one of these from me, I REALLY mean it.

That's funny what you said about me being a mother, I think NFO said that too... I make some mean potatoes too...

Nothing but love for all of the amazing people here, especially Pysko.

Just good people and one group of talented muthas.

Thanks for this thread.

psykosoul said:

Thanx for such kind comments mate. Its nice to here my music is being appreciated when I am unable to record at the moment. I love Untitled (tribute 2 Stevie), awesome instrumentation & it has that Stevie Wonder sound I can never quite get.

God bless

ElectricPurple said:

he did put Dre up there. I cant wait for that album 2 come out May 29th. You and Him are the first org musicans i ever met.

paisleypark4 said:

Dre was the first person to wisit cloud9mission & sign the guestbook. Ive known him since 2001 when I first got the internet. The track that got me was from Journey to the Retrofuturistic album, it was a Jazz Funk track he wrote when he was 13! Its awesome man, I;d love to hear it again & even better, get a copy. Couldnt believe the drums either, Im a drum teacher by profession but Dre even fooled me with his programming, I honestly thought it was a real drummer!

So Dre, can you post that track up again. Perhaps an mp3 this time?? Pleeeeese!

Mr Salles wants to thanks everybody, you all help me very much. You know i am just a guitar player from a rock band and here i am discovering lots of things about gear, samples, home recording etc.. I will start recording with good gear soon, and i hope to raise to your level. And a special thanks to Otan and now erikd and others cause you are helping me very much with the "homestudio" i am going after.

So I did not talk very much with no one here, but thanks very much, Slave2dagroove, jdodson, nfo, yamomma and other cause you had some supportive words with my projects when i asked you were there to answer. Even tought i feel kinda misplaced here, because my band has nothing to do with funk/r&b/soul I like these forum very much cause i don´t see arrogance and competition here. were all togheter huh?



P.S. i wanna hear more guitar on your songs.

Electric Purple - U are the only musican i have met in person 2 TIMES! U actulally came all the way out to Minnesota just to visit me and take me to Paisley Park for the first time!! I really enjoyed our conversations and talks about our music and all. And will stand as an unbelieveable time of my life. Plus u are the only artist who went to Paisley in the FREEZING COLD to send the word of the New Funk Order!!! MAD LOVE!
Favorite jams - Butterfly / Revolution Is On

Psykosoul - I think u are one of the most awesome musicans on here. I remember first going to your site and every single song i clicked on was JAMMIN! "Handclaps..." has the best guitar solo that i have ever heard from a musican and i was SO proud to be a part of that. And i still am proud that i am still collaborating with you.
Favorite Jams - ? / Groove Simplistic man when u gonna release an ALBUM!!!



Vinablue - I am very fond of you. U are the beauty that puts us at ease on here, and your music really speaks volumes for that. All of your music is calming and enjoyable. And i await to see which avatars u gonna use next! . U gotta teach me how 2 play the keys like u.
Favorite jams - (the desert sounding song forgot the name)/ and ur newest cut. Stillw waitin forBelong" or was it "Neaked" acapellas.

Drezone - U are the first musican i have met on here and you introduced me to "Count" and it was history from there! I remember making countless hits on you! LOL LOL!!! Man u be coming out of nowhere sometimes and just FUNKIN SHIT UP ON HERE! I dont know if u are gonna read this cuz u dont come on here often, but ur music is incredible and you can do EVERy single type of music. SOmethingn that i am insanely jealous of, plus you promote other artists out there...that is very very sweet.
Favorite Jams - Fuck The Taste... and Is This A Dream (get funky ah-ch-eh!) I Love that!

Otan - I always await what u are going to say next about my tunes. I have saved ur quotes in my reviews on my site also. U give very good critiques and arent afraid to hold back..that's what made me work harder..if it wasnt for any1 like u on here i dont think that I wouldve started even going the experimental route sometimes. Sometimes i wouold make them songs and say 2 myself (i wonder what Otan gonna think about this one). And still i cant believe u still doubt yourself.

Favorite jam - Dancin Round The Truth/ Acoustic P medley

Yamomma - Y dont u post ur music? Ur music speaks out beats just as hard as ur artistry!

Jshua - How come i cannot be like u? U have everything on here and even making a concept album...I dont think i will have the intelligence to go that far!!! I am very very jealous of you. And u got a damn beautiful voice. Sometimes i feel like i cant compete. Or my shit aint good enough.

Tareau - Where u be at?

hey paisleypark4, I think you're one of the most valuable and positive minded posters here and don't you *DARE* question your own abilities and talent! Man, if you can get stuff like yours out of a friggin' ps2 you have absolutely NOTHING to worry about my friend! Do me and everybody else a favour and just keep 'em coming. And record your voice more, I want to hear more of it dammit.

EDIT: Oh and thanks for your feedback

Sorry i didn't understand, post what? threads? songs?

sorry i am lazy eheh

a hug man, i like your songs very much, especially the experimental stuff.

paisleypark4 said:

Thank you.


Now you got me all self-conscious about that! I've been thinking about changing it, but I can't decide on what picture.

When you get your computer, you can quantize.


The desert one is East and Internal Inuendo is the newer one. Thank you, I really treasure those.
Ok, I WILL get you some Naked tracks to mess with. Promise.

7salles said:

Out of place? Man, get outta here From what I've heard, your stuff is damngood. I think it's a pretty equal balance here between rock, funk, r&B and electronica. Personally, that's what inspires me the most about you guys.

paisleypark4 said:

Man, you know you are my dawg!!!!! And quit being all modest. Like erikd and everyone else has said, with the things you create from a PS2 and VCR cables, I'm terrified of what you'll do with better equipment. I wish I came up with half of the ideas running through that funky head of yours...especially that 45RPM 4 the true funk soldiers

And one more addition that slipped my mind talmuzic: Just saw a post of yours recently and it triggered my memory. I was listening to some of your tracks last week and it gave me inspiration for a gospel tune. and props to you as well.

psykosoul, btw, experiment #7 or something like this, i cant remember the name, is damn funky!

what voice did you use for that annie christian synth?

7salles said:

Thanks. I used Fifth Lead with a slapback effect.

Psyko, man i would love 2 just be there and watch how u compose all of your stuff and sit there in amazement....that would be a dream come true! Oh and thanx for the ups on 45Rpm....that's my last good baby....then i had some little kids runnin all around in my head but they all bad .

Thanks Vina. I wish you would be more loose with ur music. I always wait for something new 2 come out....I bet u got tons o jams just collecting computer dust . let em free sista let them free! lol!

Erikd. I know...u said u wanna hear me scream in the next song.... Im So Scared!!!!! But Ima do it...Ima do it my brutha!

7salles...yes the jams...need mo'.

What a great thread.It's fantastic to see all of you 'guys'(Vina) praising each other and the positive support going around.I need something like this going on , it clarifies all my feelings that music is universal, and that there doesn't have 2 be a lot of ego trippers cutting in on what creative feelings u have,positive criticism is cool! This crew has so much going on i dont wanna ever stop listening, (and hopefully contributing) ,to the marvelous wealth of creativity in the Muso's Forum. Yeh there's so much music going on these days its real hard to navigate to the hot spot. THIS IS IT !! . Thank GOD I found it
