i think it's trashy and fun - nothing revelatory, but a good time. | |

When was this recorded? I've never heard it. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

well, "diamond" and "pearl" rap on it (or is it carmen pretending to be them?), so i'm guessing 1991/early 92? | |

Cool, never knew about this little side project. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

Oh wait a minute-that's right I was at Manchester G-Mex watching His concert As NOBODY had ever heard anything that was being played, it was rather a strange Experience !! So I missed this cos he weren't exactly in my good books !!!   The Beautiful Ones will ALWAYS smash that picture, always, everytime.

Sorry BananaCologne, I just heard the song and posted another response...  [Edited 1/3/06 10:56am] "A united state of mind will never be divided

1992 Diamond and Pearl rap on it. . I'm still convinced it's Carmen. Sounds just like her.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time that a Prince project credited people who weren't involved or what not. Personally, I'v always theorized that Carmen was originally intended to be "Diamond", at least on record, until Prince decided to develop her into something else. I have nothing to base that on, other than the fact that the rapper on "51 Hours" sounds IDENTICAL to Carmen.
