Back around 91-93 when Prince and the NPG were all acting all pimp/gansta like what did you think of it? I mean compared to those who became fans of Prince during his more sensitive, Purple Rain image it must have been quite a shock to see Prince acting all "Yo' whaz up baby" in his pimp daddy jumpsuits. This is first when I became a die hard fan so I guess that time really doesn't bother me that much and I thought the music was slammin'.It just seems kinda funny from people like "Oh Prince is sooo gay!" and acting more quiet and cryptic and then him acting more like a macho pimp daddy. Did you find it a tad bit annoying even if the music was good? Or did you feel the image went perfectly with his music at the time?

i loved the npg albums they get slated on here somtimes, the best was gold nigga , i loved the gangster glam remixes n videos n shit !

so p's gangster phase certainly neva bothered me ! i also met all those guys , tony m , levi, sonny t, kirk n' damon etc so maybe i'm biased damon asked me at the celtic park gig "hey man where did u get the shirt ?" a d + p shirt i got in hmv glasgow !

sorry i'm away off the thread sorry !

Watching Prince be anything other than Prince has always been and will always be annoying. I liked the Diamonds and Pearls and albums a lot and the clothes weren't all that bad on the Act 1 tour when I seen them in L.A. but the Sexy M.F. video and the 3 Chains O' Gold mini movie thing was pretty bad and cringe worthy.
