i was jus thinking, if the boys gotta gift, and he loves God, then he should use his gift2glorify God. Personally, I wanna hear what he's passionate about. I know he's touched on this stuff, but I wanna hear a joyous, full blown, non cryptic peice of work.
Who's down?
Peace and love.

At this point, I don't even care. Summa youz get so easily offended these days and act like Prince is forcing his beliefs down your throat. Now that he's officially a part of an organized religion yall act like it's ruining his music... Forget that he worshipped a supreme being prior to being mentored by Larry...

As long as Prince doesn't write lyrics like "God is coming like a dog in heat..." Me gets the shivers just typing that Please don't hit me with a lightning bolt.

(god from "temptation" voice) you goin to hell.

"God is coming like a dog in heat"

Can't remember the last time Prnce said something so fun.

Incest and dog sex - that's the Prince I love.

NO! Get Him Back to SEX and Partying..Music should Not Be So SERIOUS/Guilty...Life is Short so Have Fun....

He did that, and some folks whined.

Tho, admittedly, it's not exactly non-cryptic for those who don't know his affiliation with the Witnesses.

my "goin to hell" comment wasn't aimed towards you.

i wanna hear gospel, or should i say, i need 2 hear gospel.

drgoldsmoke said:

Here.

In a way he was always made those type of songs, God, AnnaSteasa, Lets go Crazy, the ladder, Purple Rain. I tend to think that he does it subtle alot because of the backlash he got from Rainbow Children and some parts of the ONA tour.

Not just No, FUCK NO!!!!

You might as well kill him now and bury him under six feet of dog shit.

I'd take a guess at NO-ONE at all

NOOOOO

Fuck No


Rainbow Children is about as close as he should get without pissin a majority of his fans off.. and having no fan base what so ever..

give me a break..

I would love to hear Prince release a gospel type album. Very Church sounding. Heavy on piano and with lots of Prince's singing. Really singing his ass off. That I would love. Lyrics don't bother me so much but Rainbow Children was a little cryptic. If he was a bit clearer I'm sure people would dig it more. And no more voiceover's/segues's! That shit is just annoying!

And, I personally think Gospel music has sucked since Sam Cooke died. I think he was one of the very few artists who married gospel music with pop/soul/rock effectively...and also one of the few that attracted people to it for the aesthetic qualities. I'm an athiest-but I can listen to Sam Cooke sing gospel anyday

Prince doesn't know how to do that effectively. He's better when he has his own take on spirituality. Prince's strong suit is being a leader not a follower. Organized religion, or "organized" thought of any matter never makes for good art.

Most gospel music now and lately has been souless shit....
And I only say "most" because I can't say I've heard every album, but I've heard alot
and it all sucks...souless

nero

Must say i am dissapointed with the mentalities ofmost of the orgers that posted here.
If Prince was 2 use his gift, it could be very powerful and make changes.

Nero, U strike me as ignorant, all gospel u heard is soulless?! Cha. what church u been going 2?
pity u bruv.

As far as I'm concerned, Prince has always glorified God. I don't mind Prince being cryptic because, as the saying goes, " God works in mysterious ways." But if Prince DID decide to make a straight up Gospel album, I'm sure he would make it funky. I'm down with whatever.
