Who cares what Donnie Simpson thinks?

He's a soul head, an R&B head. Fury is pure rock.

Actually, your assertion is somewhat odd. Its not ?uest & the other okayartists dogging the record - its a couple of fools that think R.Kelly and MJ are the be all & end all. Don't get it twisted...
And anyone that thinks W&L "sucked the soul" out of Prince's music obviously doesn't know the first thing about Prince's music.

The consensus over there seems to be that 3121 is a shitty album. These are some serious soul heads, so I would be worried.

Oh Lord mistermaxx. You are too right about R Kelly. The way he praised him it was like he was in love with the fool. I don't miss his shit, but he was entertaining.

am i the only one who hasnt, and refuses, to hear this until ive purchased it legally?

sosgemini said:

Nah. I'm with you, bro.

purplecam said:

Actually Mistermaxxx knows his music...dude is pretty ecletic...His thing seems to be attaching himself to pop culture pariah's (just read his sig...he shouts out Barry Bonds and he calls R. Kelly a musical genius...) But when you discuss music with that cat, he knows his shit...It's just that you can't take that dude seriously when he's talking about Prince (LOL)....

murph said:

Oh I never doubted his musical knowlegde. That was part of what made him entertaining but almost everytime he spoke of Prince there was nothing but hate and garbage coming from that mouth and that is what I don't miss. I went to okayplayer.com and saw some of his posts and I was like, mmmm hmmm, he hasn't changed much. I'm sure he's a cool guy though.

purplecam said:

I know what you mean about mistermaxxx.He's a trip,huh? Dissing a genuis like Prince while praising crap artists like the child-molesting R.Kelly Sometimes,I wonder if he's just doing this to ruffle a few feathers?

This is getting silly.

Unless you know Prince's entire catalogue
of music, you can't really make the statement
that he is not funky. How can anyone compare
Prince and Mr. 'Pee on U'. Seems to me that
the Okayplayer gang have succeeded in provoking
the response they knew that they would get.
Once again, making Prince fans out to be
one note, musically uneducated groupies.
Wasn't that ?uestlove that was grooving at
the NAACP Image Awards last year?

Again...it's not that serious...there's so folks that ain't diggin 3121 and some folks who are...It's a mirror image of this site...In fact, there are more people at the Org, who hate the 3121 album more than Okayplayer...Just check out the posts...

OdysseyMiles said:

and me. i don't want to be a polyanna but this slew of intellectual property theft and early reviews is a real turn-off

"y should do that when can do this?"

i love that fact that prince doesen't water down his technique to appease the masses.

I haven't heard the album either--just the singles.

andre wasn't wearing one on video soul, he had on jeans and this yellow blazer-thing...here's the thing behind the skirt stuff: donnie had went to minneapolis to attend the, uh, i think it was the minnesota music awards ceremony here. andre performed...yes, in a skirt. that's how that all came out...and donnie kept picking on poor 'dre throughout the interview and they were both crackin up about it. 'dre said he wore it just to stand out from everyone else, basically.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

If you ask me, Donnie looked a bit uncomfortable, probably about how much he actually liked it. Andre was all, yeah, I wore a skirt, so what? Now let's talk about how I get sexually turned-on by my video for "Dance Electric."

(P.S. so do I)

FunkMistress said:

oh yeahhh, i almost forgot that i dubbed that for ya. i was waiting for donnie to tell andre that his legs were hawt.

Did we see his legs on that zebra-leotard album cover? I can't remember, as I took a branding iron to the part of my memory that stored the picture of that scary thing.

FunkMistress said:

i STILL have that damned single...it's on my closet shelf at home. i wanna make an art project out of it, because it's just so damned bad ("bad" meaning cheesy bad...heh).
