Prince's language

If you know anything at all about the Purple One you know he has differnt ways of saying and spelling things.

Infact it's like a dialect all his own. Sure orther artists like Michael Jackson talk and sing differently also but Prince puts a new spelling on things.

Perhaps the most famous of instances is you the word.
Regular people type it you.....he just puts a letter.....U.
Same thinf with for. 4 insteasd of 4. Both were used in the tittle of the song
I would die 4U.

He calls Minniapolis Mini, Fans fams, he even gave his name an unpronounceable symbol.

I was in Dallas for the Jam of the Year Tour and he kept on clling Dallas Dallay in a Prince tone.


Perhaps you can name his very many altered types of spelling. But I just wanna know 1 thing.

What do you calll his style?
Working up a purple sweat.

What do you calll his style?


Style is not lusting after someone because they're cool
Style is loving yourself 'til everyone else does 2

Style is an accurate account of what's inside every heart

Style is not a lie
Style is a man that cries
Style is the glow in a pregnant woman's eyes


Style is not thinking about style
So let me stop
