You're reaching.

Prince has made some seriously amoral music. EVIL by social standards.

He made Tipper Gore mad as a wet hen. She formed a committe to print warning labels on EVIL RECORDS, she was so mad.

But you know what? That's sort of the point of being an artist. Being unique and original by definition means you're breaking with the norm. And that upsets a lot of people.

Here's what's funny to me. People get bent out of shape over "Sister" and "Lady Cab Driver," but what I find disturbing are soft rock love songs.

Turn the dial to your adult contemporary radio station and you hear some of the most anguished, bitter, desperate shrieks and howls of pain. But you don't think twice cuz it's Phil Collins singing. It's music for seriously lovesick people, and it's some dark, dark shit.

All things being equal, I'd say Peter Cetera and Mariah Carey are every bit as dangerous as Prince.

good point there--that shit is indeed every bit as dangerous as what the PMRC and similar groups was/is going after.

BOOYA!

dont forget whippin her body till sh e starts to bleed from Horny Toad


and the whole "bitch" usage in a few songs. While not physical violence, still verbally abusive.

hey, i been saying for years that he "hits" the girl he's talking to in "Something in the Water"
you hear a thud right after he says "bitch, you think you're special? So do I"...then it sounds like he starts to say "come here" and then *thud thud* "why in God's name d'you wanna make me cry? why?"

alwayslate said:

hey I already stated in that H2O thread a few weeks ago that that thud was Susan Rogers thumpin him in the head for saying "bitch!" ..Susan went clunk!

DiamondGirl said:

Just thought you should know, In the JW religion, which prince is being a part of, they choose not to believe in "Hell".

Thus, Prince wouldn't be trying to "gain absolution" rather he would be trying to escape by repeating to him self "It doesn't exist".

Anyway, never thought Prince was slated for hell, but I just thought I should point this part out.

MickG said:

If Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in hell, then what happens to the words of "Eye No?"

Eye No
There is a Heaven
But Eye'm not so sure
About a Hell
Listen to me people
I got a story to tell!

I just watched Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" and there's a funny scene near the beginning where two Jehovah's Witnesses approach Spike Lee's character Mookie, and he just says, "HELL no!" and walks on by.

Tipper Gore (...and where is she now? irrelevant...) was bent out of shape because of Darling Nikki which was just a "one night stand" causal encounter and masturbaton (most healthy humans masturbate, Anyone see American Beauty?), told in the sexiest way. The song is hardly a call to imitate behavior. Funny, Tip missed the songs about love, spirituality and God.

Why do people get bent out of shape about music lyrics when most music is tame by comparison to what is depicted in literature (great works and otherwise) even in works by award winners like John Irving, Toni Morrison, etc.

Hence it was "unreleased". Artist have a whole world of experiences to draw from as a palette, but the colors they choose usually define what they are all about. There are probably a lot of really bad songs (that we haven't heard already...) that Prince developed/experimented with, and later said, "that's really not me", "not what I'm about". The albums he offically releases are the ones that will ultimately define him.

He's actually say's "rub" not "whip" which just suggests rough (albeit angry) sex. Been there, done that. Besides, he begins the song with:

"If I had your number
I'd call U on the phone"

It's all theoretical. In his head. Humans can think about/imagine anything; that doesn't make us immoral, because most moral people rationally tone down bad thoughts and THAT makes us moral. What makes us immoral is when bad thoughts translate freely into irrational actions. Even Lady Cab Driver could easy be seen as vocalized fantasy resulting from sexual, political, adolescent frustration. Spririt/flesh, love/lust, love/hate -- P depicts it all, but keeps it in a moral context if you care to look. It's what makes great art great.

Irresistable Bitch:
A study in jealousy. He loves her and hates her. Very much a part of universal human experience. Been there, done that. AND it was a "B-Side" -- not a part of the major statement he was making with the offical album, just in case any juveniles get confused. ...[u]

GoZero said:

come on now. did he tell you that?
You didn't ask for "official" releases. You asked for a lyric and I gave you one. Further, how do you know Prince decided that this song "wasn't was he was about?" He was young, he liked fuck, and he liked to bathe with girls. it was everything he was about at the time. He talked about bathing together and such in a lot of his stuff.
You obviously never heard it because it sound just like any of the other songs that he recorded at the time. It IS him. He wrote it. He recorded it. All his music "defines" him, not just the ones you heard, man.

..and for the record, Extraloveable was a banger. it was in no way a bad song.

that shit's classic.

Prince was kinda violent, ya'll. I miss violent Prince, don't you? That was a go-hard n*&&a. It was music, art, whatever... anything is acceptable in art, right? ask that mappelthorpe dude.
we know Prince was all peace and love God 'n shit. except when it came to the ladies. I mean, as long as the women were willing (When 2 R in Love, Insatiable, Do Me Baby,International Lover, etc) he was lovely and stuff and wanted to give give give the big O til your river was an ocean and all that. But the moment a woman said "no?"

sheeeeeit... look, he dragging her ass to the tub, now 'n shit. and cruelly, yet.

the moral: you do not tell Prince, "no", bitches.
now I bet ya'll can't nobody name a song where a woman told Prince "no" and got away with it.
released OR unreleased. and don't say "Cindy C" neither. he was ASKING... we never heard her answer.

we are waaaaay off the topic of this thread aren't we? Anyway, I'm just trying to say, let's not kid ourselves. Prince is trying to make up for his past or whatever the topic of this joint was. i forgot, lol.

Funny how Tipper freaked out over "Darling Nikki" and years later at the Democratic National Convention she gets her tongue on with her hubbie on national television.

They shoulda played "Darling Nikki" while they made out.

He woulda won the election by a landslide.
