GOD, This is Embarrassing But Iike The FLOW

.


I pretty much like the entire prince album, minus about 3 songs.
Sad to say, The FLOW is not one of the songs that I dislike.
Dare I say it, the song builds up a great deal of momentum
leading into my REAL all time love, 7.

Even (God, I deserve to be crucifide for saying this), Tony M.'s rap in that song seems to actually work, and his rapid fire pace in delivery is well done. In no way am I saying he's a good rapper--just that in this song, it seems to work.

It's just a great, quick, fierce little romp of a song.

Soon all will regard the 0+> album as greatness. Hey, Tonys rap in My Name is Prince is also not total ear cancer.

The more live-sounding one, without that traumbone? Eeeeck. Each to his/her own, I guess. I just found that version, couldn't get through it. Doesn't swing like the CD version.

I like the flow also, it's like a guilty pleasure song. Everybody else hates it but i love it. Also i love lemon crush also, those beats he put together on that song make me move. Its funny cuz most of everyone on here hates lemon crush but loves vicki waiting, and that is the one song i have to skip when i listen the batman album.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

i love prince!i actually went crazy looking for it till my german teacher gave it to me. lol. i like the FLOW too. i thought the beat was cool. and tony's not so heinous on this album. (don't kill me for sayin this) but i don't think tony's that bad on most of his stuff. just my opinion.

The Flow is a wicked track. Love it. I like Arrogance before it too... I think those two belong side by side, to the point where they are almost one song in two parts...

If I ever use them on a compilation then one never goes on without the other....

Lemon Crush is great! The vocals are fantastic! cool
Also like The Flow. I have no idea what is so irritating in that track... Probably Tony M. wink

I definitely don't like the unreleased version of "The Flow". Lord Christ, it's worse than Gangster Glam.

And you find me seldom say anything bad about the outtakes.

I think it also depends a lot on which one you hear first. I had the early version that starts with the "Rock, Rock..Rock the House." bit and the music was so funky. Then the album came out and I was hugely disappointed with the track they used.
