This song is a blast, this IS IT , ORIGINAL, funky.hip hop beats , but still Prince, Camille backvox and the guitar_

Except for the fact that it is NEITHER rap nor hip hop--it is pure funk.

Did it really make that big of an impression at the BET awards? I may have been out of the loop, but I don't remember much talk about it. Of course, nothing even close to the SNL performance of "Fury" or the RRHOF performance of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." How'd the hype compare if near anywhere?

3121 is not what I would call rap or hip-hop.
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.

People who obviously don't know jack about rap/hip-hop shouldn't talk about the genre.

And it is a crappy song on a crappy album that no one will care about in a couple of years time, least of all Prince.

It's one of the few interesting songs on what is otherwise an album that makes me want to gauge my eyes out and serve them up for Sunday roast.

It's pure New-Prince at its best.

It's one of Prince's very best new songs, which means it would get it's ass kicked bay any one of his best old songs.

I REALLY don't understand the "crappy," "turd" comments about 3121. I seriously had to break away from all the negative org comments about Prince's new stuff and start listening to it with an open mind. This is a new era of Prince and it is FUNKY, SOULFUL, SPIRITUAL - oh yeah, it's Prince! He's always been funky, soulful, and spiritual. He's just expressing it in a new way and I love it! He's still evolving and I am so thankful that he is not content to rest on his legend and recycle the same sound to please some fickle fans.

3121 is a gem. I love that album. I was just listening to it last week and will be listening to it for many years to come. What I am starting to learn about the org is that many folks here have a hard time accepting it when Prince embraces his soulful, R&B side. It's a shame that your myopic view of probably the most diverse artist of all time limits your ability to receive the whole of his art.

As for me...I am just happy to experience the amazing musical journey better known as Prince! biggrin

Bingo! U hit the nail on the head. I think a lot of the time its the perspective people bring to the music which determines whether they like it or not. I have albums I like more than others but Prince has never ever released a album that can be written off as "turds" or "crap". When people make statements like that they reveal their own limitations not Prince's. There is a lot of musical inmaturity on this board. Every album Prince has released contains a lot of hard work. Even if u don't like something at least appreciate the work that went into it. When people throw around words like "shit" to describe a person's work they are really disrespecting that person. In other words they are not really the fans they claim to be.
