Hello, babygirl. "A Better Place To Die" and "Extra Loveable" is bangin'. Period. "No Call U" was something that sounded like it was intended for Vanity6. "Purple Music" is cool. "Purple Music" should have been a b-side. WAAAY better than "Horny Toad" . P, I don't believe, will ever release his unreleased material. If for no other reason, cuz he wants it to all stay "underground". Ya'll must remember around 1980, in an interview, P said that he rather have a cult following instead of a mainstream audience that's only there when you're having hits. The Black Album. I don't think P EVER had ANY intention on releasing that album in 87. He wanted a bootleg album on the street cuz he KNEW that would give him back his street cred that he used to have during Contoversy and 1999. Many folks on this site are probably too young to realize this but P's biggest following, hands down, were blacks. Even though more whites started to pop up to his shows on the 1999 tour, largely cuz of Little Red Corvette and MTV, still, P's primary audience, his hardcore following, were blacks. Black radio WORE P out. And I'm talking about them playing Lady Cab and the full album version of Automatic and D.M.S.R. This was standard fare for black radio. Especially out here in L.A. I think after UTCM and the backlash P received from black folks as "selling out" and that he's lost his edge, it bothered him on a personal level. I think that's what The Black Album represented. Hell, it says it all in the title of the album alone.
