-in concert - WTF was Prince thinking! I just listened to a D&P boot for the first time in say 8-10 yrs and could not believe how offended I was by the incessant shouting (not rapping!) that intruded what was otherwise a great concert. - He ruined it with all the 'Ho,Ho', 'Party over there', 'Word up P' and the unintelligible shouting of lyrics over great songs such as Daddy Pop, Gett Off, Live 4 Love and the godawful version of The Flow. That was pretty damn annoying when he would perform live. If he wouldn't have shouted all his lyrics, I probably would have enjoyed it more. | |

Yeah P ws trying to fit in with what was going on at that time in 1991. C+C Music Factory was opening shows for P back then, so he probably picked up some ideas from them. | |

I was watching the videos for 6 and a few others and forgot that he was in them. Those were back in 87/88 so his time with Prince really dates back! I know he was an extra in Purple Rain, but he had a pretty prominent role in the Madhouse vids.
As a person, I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about the dude. I think that people just didn't like the rapping path Prince was taking so they took it out on him. The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.
