You know when you listen 2 these 2 tracks by Micheal Jackson

Bad 4rm BAD 1987
2 Badd 4rm either Blood on the dance floor or History 96-98

the time frame that they are in it seem that Prince may have been a little bit of influence don't u think. I mean listen to Bad again and the Organ and the Bass in that song, doesn't it sound like prince mixed that in? And then listen to Face down and Shy and In this bed I sream. These songs have the same sounds prince used at that time. The Bass and some of the drums rythms in 2 Badd seem familiar or similair to that of prince's work right?

I rest my case!

So did prince really have nothing to do with it or did Quincy Jones jus decide 2 imtitate it?

during the emancipation era, prince was using pretty crappy instrumentation, casio i believe is popular during that era,
the production value on bad is pretty much, Quincy Jones super duper polished production style,
but ya gotta remember, Quincy had thought out bad to be a duet between the tqo, so he probably had prince in mine,
but i wouldn't say its emancipation
more like 1999 inspired
take for instance Dirty Diana, sounds like it was inspired by little red corvette, similar story lines etc...
i think when Quincy and michael where making bad they essentially had prince in mind

2bad i dunno, i never liked that song i dug the refugee camp mix though
if 2bad sounds like anything from emancipation its probably because the songs were generated in the same era,
so they probably used similar or the same istruments
bbut other than that ur on your own

at the begging of the refugee mix of blood on the dance floor, theres a deep voice being heard, and it sounds just like Prince's voice

I don't think Prince has anything to do with it, trust me!

I've sometimes thought possibly, maybe P had something to do with 'Speed Demon' and that the world has been duped, liner notes be damned.

this usually coincides with a but you never know. wouldn't that be something?

This is true, but 'Speed Demon' was funkier.

someone explain to me how 4rm is supposed to be "from?" 4rm = four-r-m which equals "form" not "from." Princebonics is bad enough, but if you are going to attempt to be creative and make up your own, it should probably actually work.

heck, why don't you just spell "form" as "7ugejhgfuwt," it makes as much sense. a "4" isn't just an "f" sound, and where is the "o"? sure, h8 works as "hate" because you have th e"h" followed by "eight," which is pronounced "h-eight" = "hate." see the difference.

my ability to decipher their nonsense does not make it correct or appropriate.

appropriate: Eye 8 a st8k with a 4k.
inappropriate and incorrect: Eye 8 a biscuit 4rm Kentucky 4rd Chicken. the 4 doesn't work in fried for the same reason it doesn't in from.

I found a striking resemblance between Prince's "Batdance" (released in 1989) and MJ's "Why U Wanna Trip On Me" (from 1991). Certain details in the arrangement are VERY similar. And also, notice the "U"!

dumbass said:

u kno wats funny. ur trippin about how i spelled but u still understood it rite. SO GET OFF IT!!!

The only MJ song that evokes Prince to me is Baby Be Mine. Definately 'For You' era P grove and melody. I think Rod Temperton wrote dat joint.

someone from paisley told me, at the time, that prince LOVED the scream mike did in "scream" and he originally had sampled it for "endorphinmachine" right before the verse starts. he changed it to his own thing in the end obviously. i try to imagine mikes scream there tho and i think it would be cool.

Purplerain7772001 said:

like I said, it has nothing to do with understanding it, it has to do with the fact that you actually thing "form" = "from" which are completely different. Princebonics are one thing, as stupid as they are they make sense at least in the sense that they are phonetically identical to what they are replacing. Eye = I, 2 = to, 4 = for, etc. etc.

but yours don't work and are as arbitrary as using 5 to re place a P. you may as well spell Prince "5rince," it is just as phonetically correct as "Four"rm supposing to sound like "from." if you are going to attempt to replicate Princebonics at least adhere to how they actually work.

dumbass said:

I was never even trying to attempt princebonics. Watever. I just sayin if u can understand it it is no need to explain it even explain how it doesn't work becuz obviously it is good enuff to understand.

I find that hard to believe, since "Scream" was released in 1995 and "Endorphinmachine" recorded in, I think, 1993 or 1994 (?)...

Endorphinmachine wasn't released until fall of 1995. im pretty sure prince didnt consider using it until he actually heard it...so yea, we're not talkin about the earliest versions here.
