I think it's pretty cool.

Is it just me or does Prince sound a lot like snoop dogg near the end?

Please discuss...

I think it's one of THEE weakest songs in his catalogue.

and the moral of this muthafucka is...save the slang, the cruddy rapping and the n-word droppage for the cat 'round the way. dude shoulda known better.

Prince sounded awkward enough saying "Answer me motherfucker!!!!" in Purple Rain. There really are some curse words he just can't pull off.

oh man, yeah--when i still had a cell phone i was seriously thinking about having that soundbite as one of my ringtones.

Prince can't say "muthafucker" right?
You better not listen to any 1994 aftershows then.

i love this track, but i could have done without the aaaauuuuuhhhhh part
that gets on my nerves

it's hilarious to sing out loud in public, though...yes, i've actually walked down the street with friends doing the "aaaaawwwwwh!" bit in the past.

ohhh, the looks we got from passers-by...goodtimes.

i'm tellin you, i really almost did! then i decided against it and used the piano solo from "sexy dancer" instead.

It's the song that, IMO, scarred The Gold Experience. And I think he added it with that intention, kind of a FU to WB. That's what I think.

The lyrics are mysteriously absent from the liner notes of the album, as well. I know a Prince scholar can debunk my belief, I'm sure. But as much as I like the song, and I do like the song, it's a shame that I can't just play the album in a public area, or around family, without immediately skipping to track 2.

"Play that muthafuckin' bass" - sounds genuine as opposed to "And the da moral of dis muthafucka is..." - which sounds contrived and phony.

Even when he says "No black motherfuckers in the house"... the humorous intent is there. But when Prince dons his "lemme cuss/use slang right here for street credibility" coat, I cringe. You know what I'm talking about.. don't make me go through those 95-99 era songs and pull out those songs he ruined with that kind o'shit

Alright, you're right there.

i love it. one of my favorite symbol-era songs. it's one of the rare times when his fake slangy posturing worked in his favor, whether the results were intentional or not. i think it's part freaky and part campy - just a stoopid fun dance song by prince. nothing wrong with that.

That would be great at restaurants.

Waiter: And for you ma'dam?

Dansa: Yeah, I'm gonna...go with....

Phone: "ANSWER ME MUTHA*&%$#!!!"

I think it could have been replaced by other greats (days of wild or acknowlege me just to name a few). The song will get the dance floor packed (with women) HOLLA PRIME

This song is great! The music is great the words are great.

This is a real feminist anthem. If you listen to what he is saying he is really letting women know that they have all the power and to be in charge of their sexuality.

Normally, I am not one for Prince rapping, but I LOVE this song. He pulls off the rapping in the song. I loved hearing in the clubs for years after it came out too.

Yep. I have this remix of this song..it is really cool. I love this part when a woman is singing..."I don't care what you been told pussy's got you in control!"

Right on. When I see men walk all over women I think about that line to myself and think "God if they just knew their power!" LOL.

Prince is definatly a man who gets it. No wonder he has so many female friends!

Pussy Control:

A decent enough rap/hip hop attempt and a club anthem/classic-whether I like it or not.

I'm with you

kick ass song

The song is pretty good, but I agree that it is peppered with a lot of unnecessary swearing, "Good evening ladies and gentleman, boys and muthafucking girls, this is yo captain with no name speakin and I am here to rock your world" and "You need a motherfucker that respects yo name, now say it Pussy Control". The language is imitation gangsta thanks to Snoopp and Nate Dogg and Tupac etc. They were fine at their art, but Prince wasnt and it sounds amateur. Very funny though.
Unfortunately Princes 80s work was trendsetting, but his 90s work was trend following. Theres very little originality in it. A lot of groups went through a big fuck phase in the 1991-95 period eg Blood Sex Sugar Magik is all fuck,mother fucker and the Radiohead song "so fucken special" Alanis Morisette "R u thinking of me when u fuck her" and even Peral Jam refer to Jeremy as a harmless little fuck.

Fortunately the novelty of swearing has worn off and now its limited back to Gangsta rap.

For me it sums up most things wrong with his post 80's output.

I think it's one of the funniest songs Prince has ever written. I remember LMAO when I first heard it. It's a song that most of Prince's female fans like more then the guys. I remember being at the clubs when the God album was out, And whenever they would play that song, All the women on the dance floor would sing in unison, "AWWWWW IT'S THE PUSSY CONTROL".

c'mon, that didn't really happen did it? you've been drinking purple kool aid again, and got a bit carried away, haven't you..?. it's ok. the mods will hopefully lock and delete this thread and no-one needs mention it..... cool?

ThePunisher said:

I don't own that album. Is it good?

I particularly like the version on Crystal Ball. With the backing vox after AHHHHH.....Pussy Control!!! I dunno who it is, but someone shouts out VAGINA!!!

priceless

I think the song rocks!
