I agree whole heartedly, being of the chocolate persuasion myself. Our beauty is so often overlooked becuz people see color first, black is so commonly thought of as bad ie black plague, etc. Honestly, I am shocked and surprised to see a chocolate temptress with The Purple One, never thought hed get down like. As a child my nickname was Black Beauty, so I have never thought of myself as not as "beautiful" as a light skinned woman, but what the world views as beauty isnt me. Prince, you score big in my book for letting us know, you dig us too .
EVERYBODY needs a little chocolate in their diet, its good for the soul. Who doesnt like chocolate? And if your allergic, dont you still want some anyway

Go to a Prince concert and tell me if you see any Blacks.

Some of you are SO rude...

So you think Celistina is ugly--you're entitled to your opinions, but why say "ugliest bitch". That's just totally rude...And regardless of how beautiful or handsome those of you saying things like that might look, those comments make you uglier than you could ever think she is.

For what it's worth (which admittedly may not be much), I think she's cute. She has beautiful eyes and and a great body.

I recognize the chair in the video, it's the one Prince has in his studio at Paisley Park in Chanhassen.

Although there is hardly nothing that gets under my skin more than racism or reverse racism, I have to admit...this dude is "dead on it"!

Why she gotta be a bitch? Can't she just be ugly...I'm not sure what generation your from but I hope you don't tear yourself down as easily as you do others. If so, you're gonna have a tough walk through life.

I'm a white dude and I find her beauty to be refreshing. In fact, if you think about...that hot chocolate beauty would just melt in my mouth!!!

In my dreams

Thanks for the kind words, but just so you know, I'm actually a dudette.

Black Sweat would be perfect if he dropped the Car Alarm sound from the intro...

Not unless you consider a chair shaped as an upside down version of the female pleasure center suggestive.

And how pimp is it to be sitting on the clitoral hood, peeping over a magazine like you can deliver without prep time while your girl “gets the car started” with labial stimulation; almost as funky as these 3 inches desperately in need of 12.

Prince has shot himself in the “good foot” a lot lately (“Hot Wit U”, “Life ‘O’ the Party”, “Mr. Happy”) but “Black Sweat” is the genuine article; intelligent, freeze-dried, minimalist funk with tasteful smatterings of spine-tingling synth bass that earns its stripes, its swagger, its ass bobbing testimonials delivered at the handle of a cup of tea.

And every great dance track needs at least one out-of-body experience that makes you oblivious to that sweat stain working its way up your backside or unconscious to the hateful glares the stranger you’re assaulting on the subway is shooting in your direction. Here the nirvana springs forth from the Prince announced “breakdown” with 43 seconds to go. Time slows down, your grand mama’s lampshade spins with pinpoint lights, all become great dancers, and absolutely nothing is out of reach.

One of Prince’s finest moments on the dance floor; if Prince were 25 it would be a surefire smash. At 47 and with countless commercial missteps over the past decade I’m still holding on to the notion that he has to deliver one of the great songs of the century (“When Doves Cry” or “Kiss”) to overcome the overwhelming odds of such a narrow, superficial marketplace.

Regardless of such trivialities, I’ll be forever moving in “one…two…three”.

It's official... Prince has lost it! I'm done waiting for his greatness to return. Moving on...

As a matter of fact, I've found the coolest band on the planet. You guys should really check out Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Band. These guys will have you dancing all night!

That's what I thought at first... but as I recall, the chair in Studio B is basically at floor level. Either they modified it by adding taller legs, or it's a similar but different chair.

the weird chick actually works well....especially with the video having a b&w sorta vibe.


Is she the same chick singin' the duet with him in Beautiful, Loved and Blessed?
