Hello Orgers, the rapper below is Harlem's gangsta rapper Camron Giles. He was definately inspired by Prince to the point that he got all purpled up and even borrowed Diamonds & Pearls and made a hip hop version of the hit. Can you name any other rappers who took or sampled from Prince?

Ever so many rappers use Prince samples or references in their songs. The latest I know is The Game, who has made quite a bit noise on the internet lately with his 'Purp & Patron' mixtape. The third part of the mixtape 'The Hangover' features two songs '05. Sex' (Darling Nikki cover) and '06. White Soft Porn Feat. Mars' (MPLS all over it - linn drums and synths) that borrowed from Prince.

You also might check out my thread here http://prince.org/msg/7/296783 and add the mentioned Camoron song.
