'The Marrying Kind/If I was man in Ur life'...sound hip-hop?

...this has been on my mind for some time now, and I’ve seen threads with questions about Prince and hip-hop…I know there isn’t much rap or other things musically that make these songs ‘hip-hop’ but am I the only one who thinks ‘The Marrying Kind’ and ‘If I was the man in your life’ does have some kind of blend of hip-hop in it? I always find myself bopping my head to these songs, can’t hardly pinpoint what it is...anyone got similar ears, or know what I'm talking about??? music

I don't know about "The Marrying Kind", but "If I was the man in ur life" definitely does. Thank God, though, Prince left his rapping days behind. Not very fond of it.

Smooches;)

Yeah, "If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life" has a hip hop flavour to it in the bass line and syncopated snare and kick drum.
