How could Prince ruin this great song?

Prince absolutely ruined the great love song "Damn U" by throwing in that stupid thing with the reporter at the end instead of making a seperate segue. What is the point of having these "segues" anyway?! Am I the only one that got pissed by this?! mad

as a general rule, i really don't like segues on any album. i think it's a better idea in theory than in practice and i find it always messes with the flow of the music for me. and it doesn't help that most of the segues on that album involve kirstie alley. nuts

How can you say that the segue ruined the song? Didn't you already throw up at hearing "Like animals just born to breed, come to think about you baby you're my only need"?

That's on a par with the surgery line in I Love U In Me!
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

It's a deal, then. I remain the Pimpstress, and Prince's fruity booty is all yours.

Mistress of Funk,you can collect quotes while I collect boodies but if you build a prince robot and program it to funk the robot will show you how to graduate to a pimpstress of funk.

That part should've been left out, but to say it ruins an absolutely amazing song is a little much. The actual song's ended anyway, so it's not that big of a deal.

In general though, any kind of segues at all just annoy me. Let the music do all the talking.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel about Love 2 the 9's. He should've kept that stupid Tony M/Mayte part out of the song


"Q:How many books you read?
A:Is Hemingway dead" eek

"Q:How you gonna make that booty boom?
A:Step back, give a girl some room"

I love this song, and because of that, I made a copy of the track and faded out the end before the segue starts. I've had to do that with a few Prince tunes.

All the lil bits of Prince's (and often Janet Jackson's) albums like the intros, segues etc are often parts I like because not enough artists are creative enough to come up with anything outside of the songs... But then I'll happily bitch about The Wedding Feast! That shouldn't even be listed as a track. Actually, it shouldn't be anything.

I actually liked that Tony M/Mayte part the first time I heard it, but I was pretty high, so maybe I'm not the best judge.
