"tc's rap" vs "brother with a purpose" I know some of u still own that "NPG" maxi single So, whats worse? I got 3 versions of t.c's rap. The one on "New power generation pt 2", another on his album, the title track "true confessions" and again on "tc's rap". Which has a hilairous intro. Same as "npg part 2" but even clearer. "kid, kid, i got the noise. I got to to this....."etc... "brother wit a purpose" is very, very bad. And I love early 90's "street" shit like this usually. "we got out own ideas". I prefer tc's rap. At least its memorable. Infact, i know all the words | |

Curse you for making me take this off the shelf!!!
For me? Brother With a Purpose. Despite the annoying slowed-down chorus of New Power Generation in there. It just reminds me of Grandmaster Flash. Rap that ain't necessarily about bitches n' money (sorry ladies, but you know what I'm talkin' 'bout). 'Sides, that siren in T.C.'s Rap was driving me crazy... I thought for a minute I was Sigourney Weaver runnin' down them corridors in Alien. | |

Did WB press billions of these New Power Generation CD Singles? There's always at least one of those cardboard bastards in the Prince section at the CD store.
TC makin' mad bank offa dat poop-fest. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

TC makin' mad bank offa dat poop-fest. Was it a big hit in US then? Prince bothered to make a lame maxi single yet didn't bother with a good video. I guess WB were pissed about the bomb the film was, so they didn't give Prince any budget to shoot "new power generation", which coulda had loads of concepts visually. Prince's own "my perogative". | |

Tony got better thank god, but for his debut on record, he didn't do too well. | |

I'm not sure if it even charted in the US. It certainly didn't get any airplay in my neck of the woods. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
