Whoa Damn, this is an improvement!

So I'm on the comp and am doing homework, when all of a sudden it downs on me that Rollercoater of love is playing, but get this, it's playing on Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. My bro's are playing the game and the song was on one of the radio stations. I was like, "WHOA DAMN! this is cool!" cuz at first I thought it was playing on the tv so i looked there and heard it in the other room and saw or heard at least that it was programmed into the game.


So do u guys think that this is an improvement or more recognition for Prince, for some of his songs to be programmed into being played on top games such as Grand Theft Auto? I do.


p.s> it goes to show that whoever was apart of making this videogame must've been a Prince fan since there are Prince songs in it lol yay!

Forgive me for asking, but how old are you? I assume you must be a youngster if you didn't realize that Prince was covering a song that's close to 30 years old.

And I wonder at your logic. A song does not become credited to an artist just because they sing it . That would make Purple Rain a LeAnn Rimes song. I shudder at the thought..... barf

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that you are joking?
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

Honey may have had the most controversial LP cover of 1975. Its erotic cover, which depicted a nude model covered in honey, was protested by feminists when it was alleged that the model had become stuck to the floor during the photo shoot. Some retailers, in fact, refused to carry it. All the controversy certainly didn't hurt the album commercially. In 1975, the Ohio Players were one of R&B's most successful acts, and were inescapable for anyone who listened to Black radio at the time. The album kept the band's commercial momentum going thanks to such hard-driving funk as "Love Rollercoaster" (a song that was sampled to death by rappers in the 1980s and '90s and covered by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1996), "Fopp," and the playfully jazz-influenced hit "Sweet Sticky Thing." While the Players' outstanding contributions to funk would continue to have an enormous impact long after the band's popularity faded, it's important to stress that only about half of Honey falls into the funk category. In fact, lead singer Sugarfoot's moving performance on the remorseful "Alone" makes one wish that the Players' ballads were discussed more often.

...in other words, this is NOT a prince song. you were saying?

Don't give her any ideas.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Tish4, u're cool peeps, but sometimes P sings songs from old school bands onstage, like Sly and the Family Stone and James Brown and Joni Michell, out of respect and love for the artist that influenced him as a youngster.
