31:21 Que?

Ok.....since I am not able to use the search engine.....still..... sad I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the 31:21 and what it is in "Prince terms" and how and maybe WHY he is using it?

Thank you for shedding any kind of light sun on this.....

cause I am kinda in the dark here..... and I feel like a green hamster hamster that's just been slapped around by a little ant living in a little whole in Wonderland. wacky

No one knows for sure, though there are various theories.

A lot earlier in the year, he wore 3121 on the back of his clothes. Also he held what were called 3121 parties at his LA home with an exclusive celebrity guest list. Some people believe 3121 is the number of his house there and 3121 was only referring to that small period of parties. I don't think it has ever been verified that this IS the house number.

Some people believe it is backwards and it refers to the date 12/13 ie 13th of December (we do the numbers the other way, more sensibly, here in the UK!) when some new music will drop. I find this unlikely, since it would require Prince knowing he was going to release something on that date back at the start of the year, and yet with only weeks to go clearly there would be no promotion and 3121 hasn't even been referred to by Prince since the parties. In fact, the speculation rests largely on the fact that some moderators over at the npgmc have left some cryptic messages that some have interpreted as meaning somthing new is coming soon.

Some believe it is 31:21 and refers to a passage in the bible. However, there are many books in the bible that 31:21 could refer to, so you could take your pick of meanings. Prince did write 5:5 on his forehead for the Cinnamon Girl video, which was believed to be a reference I think to Matthew 5:5 - however the 3121 written on his clothing did not include the ':' which would have made it more clear.

Still others believe 3121 will be, for whatever reason, the name of the next album.

Basically, no one knows for sure though many claim to know but are strangely never specific...

Moderators on NPGMC have confirmed something will be happening on 13th December, 2005.

An NPGMC member who correctly guessed this date from a 'cryptic' 3121 moderators post has won a prize to a 3121 party.

Well, we don't have long to find out - 21 days. Perhaps it will be the end of the world? Those never seem to come true...

the riddle thing was a confirmation of chriscurry's post, but it didn't "confirm" the specific information. i understand what's been inferred over at the club, but it hasn't been specifically confirmed that 12/13 is the release date. i'm not sayin' we shouldn't get our hopes up, but...we shouldn't get our hopes up. (oops, i guess i DID say it.)

also, i didn't see anything about winning a trip to a 3121 party...was that a recent post?

I am not sure I have been enlightened by these replies.....ehmmmmm....to the contrary....I think I am more confused now.
I really thought it was a passage in the bible.....although when I search on this i find too many references....Cheek any more thoughts on your comment?
but ManuelaTestolini.....can u maybe give us more info since u seem to know some stuff happening on the inside with regards to his new release?

And Metalorange, THANX so much.....ur effort is good and at least u leave some room for imagination and also choice for us all to chose what 3121 would actually mean.....

Another theory: could it be a new name for a sitcom starring Prince? And like all those house parties he has been having are "pre-release" parties.....and the name of the sitcom would be Prince 3121, a la Beverly Hills 90210?

Azure Panther.....what's up with the "4232.789 + 2999:reloaded" ?????
Didn't we both agree that that is the size of your Wang?
And by Wang I am not refering to Vera Wang's dresses.
No think again good folks.

wink Any new light, as in 60W, or even 75W bulbs will be highly appreciated.
But none of those neon hospitally kind of lights.....they gimme a migraine....

Hmmmmm.....Hamster's still being slapped around.....

And this didn't make it any better:

The English name, "Deuteronomy", comes from the name which the book bears in the Septuagint (Δευτερονόμιον) and in the Vulgate (Deuteronomium). This is based upon the erroneous Septuagint rendering of "mishneh ha-torah ha-zot" (xvii. 18), which grammatically can mean only "a repetition [that is, a copy] of this law," but which is rendered by the Septuagint τὸ Δευτερονόμιον τοῦτο, as though the expression meant "this repetition of the law." While, however, the name is thus a mistranslation, it is not inappropriate; for the book does include, by the side of much new material, a repetition or reformulation of a large part of the laws found in the non-priestly sections of Exodus."

Hmm...

just read this :

Deuteronomy 31 (Moses)

31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

Don't know what it means... but there is a song mentioned....

Just wait and see !!!

In another 2004 post, you mentioned it would be released in Early 2005. Now you're saying 2006. Where are you getting your TRUTH - as you mention? You state things with such determination & conviction, yet you have no facts at all?

Has it been fun??

when you've been pregnant as long as poor mani, you're bound to get confused once in a while. i mean, she's got to be in her 12th or 13th trimester by now!

PRINCE, like any other HUMAN BEING, is free 2 change his MIND. So r u and so am I.

Any in4mation posted here is TENTATIVE until confirmed by the NPGMC or other official sources.

However, u can be sure the FUNK of 'Reach The Top' will reach your ears VERY SOON.

PEACE.
