Outkast!!!

The Love Below album sounds like a P album should sound these days...


Well I love the love below but it sounds like prince used to sound rather than anything new really. Apart from the work on electronic drums and percussions that is a lot fresher than Prince stuff nowadays.
Il n'y a pas de sentiment plus exaltant que celui d'appartenir à une nation si diverse, si libre et si douée pour le bonheur.

Prince has released over 20 albums since 1978...all written, performed, produced and arranged by himself.
So let say...if he decided to let someone else step in and produced his next album who would you want it to be?

I personally would call on Pharrell Williams!
Who would you want?

It would be a left-field collaboration, and one that I think could really work.

Interesting list, especially the first 3 or 4 names. I've often wondered what a musical collaboration between Prince and PG would sound like...

Brian Eno - seriously.

And I agree with PdogZ, I would have loved to have heard Zappa produce Prince. But I think there'd would have been a fist-fight in the studio over the triangle sounds or something. For any Zappa fans out there - imagine a Prince record with 'xenochronous' guitar solos! Yow!

Failing these - Kirk Johnson wink

The Neptunes have already produced remixs for Prince's "Greatest Romance Ever Sold". I think Neptunes/Prince production could be amazing.

That's just what I was going to say. If he did let someone else produce him, it would be best to have people who know what he's like and have a better idea of what would sound right on him.
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

In my opinion, this would produce the same old sound that we are used to. The whole point of this question was to get him with a different set of people that would pull something different out of him. Let's try him and David Forster or him and Gamble and Huff.

All I'm gonna say is-this is one of my least favorite posts...and it shows up every other month (kinda like the lame MJ posts I have to endure on this board).

Anyway-always the same people: Beck, Bjork, some kid name drops some hot hip hop producer or those garbage neo soul boring R&B guys who rip off prince, the old guys name the arty rock guys (Bowie, lanois, etc). Can we never do this again



thumbs up! Gotta agree with Nero...

And what makes you think that? The remix was utter crap! Even though I like The Neptunes (the Neptunes-produced track on the new Missy Elliott kicks ass for example), I don't think that would work out all.

I also wonder why Björk and Beck keep getting mentioned as potential "producers" - they're not producers really. Their best stuff has been produced by others (Mark Bell, Matmos with Björk, Dust Brothers and that indie rock guy with Beck).

My choices:
Matthew Herbert
Atom(TM) / Uwe Schmidt
Madlib
Rick Rubin could be interesting (for a rock album)

There's probably a couple more.

Well, when u think about it, neither is Eminem, but the track that he did for Tupac's last CD was not that bad. These days, all a producer really needs is an ear to what is going on in the streets and the ability to get the most out of his artist.

Wow,,this could go one for ages.

Firstly , andree 3000 couldn't produce a prince record as he's trying to be prince and he's doing a good job at it too!!..

but outkast as a hip hop act could produce prince...but for me it would HAVe to be.....

DR DRE !!.....Definatly.

also the guy that produced Madonna's music and Amierican Life would be intersting...he's called Miwais....

thoughts???

hmmmmm
these 2 words, a little bit behind the beat. Well, just enough 2 turn u on.....

not all hip hop is crap


Who said it was?!

I simply don't think that Prince's music would benefit from those tired, flacid old beats and production values one finds on many hip-hop records.

As for the charts representing hip-hop, the charts only ever represent one thing, and it's no specific genre, it's the almighty dollar.



"No-one who produces (c)rap or hip-hop"

There are hip hop producers that don't see the top 40 charts because they don't make that shit that's on the radio. The stuff your talking about which is crap, that whole "i got guns, bitches, and I shoot em and fuck em" bullshit. Some hip hop producers put out Classic material, but are ignored because they arent associated with the mainstream. Some of these guys would be able to supply prince with some good stuff.

That rules out practically ANYTHING by a black act in the charts right now.


Respect...but can we expand our minds just a little bit?...As a child of hip-hop (age 34) I listen to mostly a lot of old shit..That said, there's nothing crazy about The Neptunes producing a Prince track....I've been a Prince fan since Dirty Mind and one thing that perplexes me is this Messiah like box some of the fans tend to put him in...The Neptunes producing for Prince would not tarnish Mr. Nelson's career...in fact, if you've ever listened to the Nerd albums (very eclectic from new wave to rock to hip-hop to soul) you would see that they have more than common than you care to realize...Even that wack ass O'Marion character is riding high with a song called "Touch" that is basically The Neptunes nod to P's "1999" era....Right now, they are the only contemporary hip-hop based production unit that I wouldn't mind seeing on a Prince album, besides Rick Rubin...Again...let's stop having knee jerk reactions everytime someone names a hip-hop based artists...
