i FINALLY got ALL the tracks for the blk album and i am TRUELY a happy camper!
the intro of 2 nigs is wild! these my fuck me pumps....it aint that kinda party...ho bitch?! who u callin a ho bitch?!.....blk ho bitch! great stuff....and that music is banananas!!! i love it! dead on it is sooooo funny! and of course when 2 r in love always beautiful....le grind and cindy c just too funky..and bob george is cool, tho i prefer the demo version

I don't know what demo version you're talking about. There isn't one circulating. Anyway yeah, I still dig this album, and it's cool that you've finally managed to get it together. The only song I really don't like on it is "Dead on It". Dude shouldn't have even tried it. "2 Nigs" is some great jamming, and you can't say enough about "Rock Hard..". Classic album.

yea there is. its diff from the blk album version. the album version everything is more comical. and its got more words and i cops are on it. the demo version everything is...harder, more cold sounding. prince is makein the gun noises with his mouth, some of the words are changed or not there, theres a gun shot at the end and i dont think the cops are on it. also theres some talkin @ the end, hes askin how many minutes and sheila tells him and then he;s tellin em what they have to do on it tomorrow (add gun shots etc..) and yea 2 nigs is some great jammin and yep rock hard is the shit!

(and yall for the last time its "ya couldn't concentrate when ya dick SAW her!"

"bob george" (demo)?? -- sounds like you're describing a live version of "bob george" from the lovesexy tour (hence the lack of cops and the different gun sounds) -- the ending gun shot is the death of camille (right after he says, "thy kingdom come..."), and the very next song is a rebirth of Prince rising out of that very same spot, playing the piano for "Anna Stesia"

nope. its not live (lawd knos i WISH i had it live tho) cuz like i said its talkin @ the end (and yea i forgot about that prayer thang), but its not live, also the thug voice is different, not funny very mechanical. i dunno if its a demo, maybe an alt. version, but its def not live. plus also like i said he makes the gun sounds with his mouth, if it were live why would he make the gun sounds with his mouth

It's a rehearsal if anyone else but prince was there. a rehearsal for the concert. you're hearing them practice the live arrangement on a stage.

I'm with Smokeverb. "Dead On It" is embarrasing as Prince takes an ill fated swipe at hip hop. To me it shows Prince on the defensive for the 1st time in the '80's. To be critical of an emerging, alternative genre of music was not Prince at his best.

But I LOVE the album and "Cindy C", "Bob George" and "Rockhard In A Funky Place" are smokin!

sounds to me like "Dead On It" is only dissin' rappers with no musical talent

Riding in my Thunderbird on the freeway
I turned on my radio 2 hear some music play
I got a silly rapper talking silly shit instead
And the only good rapper is one that's dead on it

Uh, Dead on it

Shall we go back? (Yeah!)
Let's go

Negros from Brooklyn play the bass pretty good
But the ones from Minneapolis play it like it oughta should
A magnum fro is better when u got a poof on it
And the 2 and fro is funky when the grease is dead on it

(Funky dead on it)
uh, dead (on it) on it

Shall we go back? Let's go

They dead on it, wow

See the rapper's problem usually stem from being tone deaf
Pack the house then try 2 sing,
there won't be no one left (ha ha) (on it)
Parking lot's on fire, brothers peelin' out of the town
They say in disgust, they singin' their guts
Rappin' done let us down (down down)
u got 2 be dead... on it

I dare anybody to play 2 Nigs United For West Compton in the car and NOT put the pedal to the metal. Can't be done.

Rock Hard hs Erics funkiest horn line.

"Dead On It" is pure parody,as we all know he embarrassed himself
with TRUE hip hop atempts later on

Exactly.

I, too, just got the Black Album. After reading all the hype on the org, I was a bit nervous that I would be disappointed...but I LOVE IT! I have been listening to it every morning before work. Can't get enough of Superfunkicalifragisexy.

LOVE IT!

lol, me personally i've learned to take ALL of p's hip hop attempts as parody

Took me a while to really feel this one, but once I got it I really enjoyed it. Every track on there kicks..
