I would love to see Prince play in the sweetback movie


especially at the end when he's running from the cops

my favourite song from the album.

so any time Prince uses a word as NOT described in the english dictionary, he's trying to be "hip" and "really cool"...please...

everyone is on position to judge prince´s will.

Yep, best heard loud. It's a fun track, kind of in the same vein as my medallion.

*Wants* to be one? Hehehe...

Alasseon said:

He would be like that lil pimp on Friday After Next. " Pimp down Mani! Pimp Down!"

I love this song. The bass kicks ass when turned all the way up and the story makes me laugh out loud! That's a funny lil dude. You can tell he had fun with this song.

Yeah, that's exactly what I said...

overrated - i never really got what it was about. Its ok the first couple of listens then you realise its drivel!

really? i've barely seen it being talked about, let alone rated.

Dont get me fing started handsclaps, u really know how to wind me up

I just hate the fact that he uses the word "Cristal" in the song. He's never said a word about Cristal for his whole career, but now he feels the need to use it like all the flavors-of-the-day use it? Just too much "I'm trying to be cool and I know the latest" for my taste. The "chips and whips" phrase I could put up with better than his shout out to Cristal.

alex...thats exactly what i think too..its too shallow and trying to be cool!
Its a song that sounds fashionable at the time but sounds like utter rubbish later. I prefer it when he deals with real issues rather than club trivia!

you're getting wound up over a mere question, or simply because it was me who asked said question? either way, save your anger. it ain't worth it.

alexnvrmnd said:

I think it's more of a sarcastic comment on Hip Hop "sponsorship" than a shout out to Cristal. Cuz it's just used rediculously....plus...who wants to take a cold bath in cold Cristal? That's assuming the Cristal wasn't heated.

he said Remy before.

ufoclub said:

He also says "skip the" right b4 the mentioned word.

BobGeorge909 said:

there's definitely gotta be some cat out there who's actually taken a bath in a tub full of cristal, just because they could...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Ask P. Didd, Puff Daddy, Sean...whatever he's called these days...he's the only I could think of. Maybe Biggie cuz it wouldn't take that much cristal due 2 displacement.

Dansa!

See here: http://www.prince.org/msg/7/105901

The thread contains my theory that the song is all about Prince pimping himself out to Warner Bros.

Justin1972UK said:

flips thru thread....ohhhh yeahhhh....

Justin1972UK said:

That's some interesting shit...

Justin1972UK said:

I read that. It's utterly AMAZING the things people will read in2 Prince's lyrics. I mean damn...how many songs has Prince supposedly written about his experience @ warner Bros. These Theories are like shoddy numerology. get a 4 digit number and how many answers can U come up with...when in the beggining all is was was 5345 oranges on the shelf...but wait...5+3+4+5=17! the store must have been in the 17th district. One can say anything means anything if enuff subjects r replaced...i.e: doris= Warners, Mayte, Tommy...which is it? I think it's easy to take the song at face value and see that Price(or maybe just the character in the song) is acceptable with any living arrangemnt if both(or all) parties are consenting.

BobGeorge909 said:

Yeah, but isn't there an image of a contract underneath the lyrics, within the CD artwork?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

This IMO is the only friggin reason he mentioned Cristal. P could care less about giving a shout out to some liquor maker to impress ya'll. He doesn't even drink. The dude in the song is livin it up with the chicks money. He's young, lavish, and foolish (like the ghetto fab rappers who give shout outs to Cristal). As far as "chips and whips" is concerned, it rhymed.

they look like Dollar bills on fire to me.

Its grown on me like all of Musicology especially the bitb at the strat where If I was ur girlfriend was playing, and the line "the bitch was so ugly"
