i'd say that there are similarities but that's where i'd stop at. i'd also saythat it's indicative of the era to use certain sounds and things like that. maybe prince was inspired to write something similar but i think it's only defined to that little synth line at the start. that's about it.


Yeah, the beats are kind of similar (iffy) and that high pitch synth is very similar.

Overall the songs sound quite different IMO.

and who knows, maybe they heard something from 1999 and tried to write in a Prince style. we will never know, just like we will never know what a record contract with Prince consists of.

I wouldn't be suprised when this song was played before or after the GC gig and Prince picked it up (unconsiously)


I saw a remark about age in this thread.

In this case I don't know cuz I wasn't there.
But last years I see many posts from relatively new fans who interpret the past. It is sometimes a funny (and sometimes enlighting) read to see what people make of it even when it went totally different when it happened. I those cases age and the fact of being around as fan really help in information/knowledge sense.

Wow listened to it again.. I'll be damned if "Drop It Likes It Hot" didn't steal the "snooooop.." from this song too. Damn..

LMAO. Young people think every sound effect means the song was ripped. It is crazy. P wrote EC after seeing P-FUNK at the Beverly Theather in late 83.

You can find a live CD of P-Funk at the Berverly. About a year ago Blackbird Mcknight was on the Ricky Vincent show and commented on P being at that show.


Thanks for calling me young, I'm not! ha A "sound effect" can also be called a "hook" and I consider it a hook in both songs. "Snooop" sounds just like the keyboard hook in "White Horse" and take those parts out and the songs aren't as catchy.
