After hearing what Lil Wayne did to it, I just wish I could forget how good D&P was because it'll never sound the same to me again!

The song Diamond and Pearls

it's been a while since I've listened 2 it the song as well.

But I've been preoccupied with my 2 latest purchases (ATWIAD & Come). And the gifts I've received, so I hardly have time (or care 2) to check out "The Very Best of..." anymore.

It's definitely a great song. Loved it since I first saw video for it.

aaahhh stupid computer at work...I forgot about that...I can't think at work...

Actually I meant the whole album. I did hear a snippet of what Lil' Wayne did to the song and yes all of you are right he did f it up royally. The song is good also i've just heard it too much.

I introduced Lil Wayne to Prince's music...he's a fan now...Ever since like 10 years ago...

..."like a Prince concert that ain't crowded"

uhmnnn.....
I call the front.

I meant the album as a whole. Its got some good songs on it. More than I remembered

The Friday before the album's release, Radio One in the UK played 'Daddy Pop' and I was awe-struck by its dynamic sound. It was just, Wow!
I've always had a soft spot for that song and it always amazes me that it isn't looked upon too highly amongst fans. Likewise, although Jughead really is below par, there's still something about it that makes me want to jig around the room like a madman.
It's only when you really dissect D&P when you realise that it's as musically diverse as Sign O The Times. Not one song on it sounds anything like any of the others.

How true. To this day I still love Daddy Pop along with Live 4 Love. I think only two songs on there are maybe below the others...Jughead and Walk don't walk but I still don't find myself running to pick up my remote to hit skip on them. Other than that when I listen, it seems like there are some really good tracks on that cd. I think people have forgotten about how good it is.

Originally it was looked at as sorta a return to creative form or the best since Sign O' the Times by critics wasn't it?

D&P is an OK album. Wouldn't say it's fantastic and certainly wouldn't compare it Sign O The Times.

When I first heard Gett Off I thought it was brilliant! Then when I heard the rest of the album it occoured to me that it was just a commercial album intended to get him "back" and "prove" to people he still had it - not that he ever lost it!

And good on him!!! He made heaps of $$$$ out of it and it really got him back up there.

Not one of his best though.

There is a pattern with Prince. He likes to release commercial albums every now and then, and once the masses are interested and he has their attention, he releases something less commercial and test his audience.

Purple Rain - Around The World In A Day
Diamonds & Pearls - o(-+>
Musicoligy - 3121

Good on him though for doing it and making the masses realising music ain't all about money!

I had to go maybe a decade without it
to fully appreciate it

I remember when the album was out
and the skating rink we would go to
it's like... D&P was the only CD
that the place owned
and when the DJ won't present
they would just play the D&P album
over & over & over & over

I don't care if I never hear
"Cream" EVER again in life LOL

but yeah once I re-discovered it (if you will)
I really enjoy the album ("Cream (sha boogie bop)" included)

Bring it! I live in Louisiana LOL ...I just had to intoduce him to Prince...Why not!?! I didn't tell him go and make the song....LOL

I don't listen 2 the radio AT ALL anymore (since around 1994) so THANK GOD I haven't heard the Lil' Wayne song...in fact, I don't know WHO Lil' Wayne even IS, nor do I care 2!

anybody like Cam'ron's
take on Diamonds & Pearls?

it's from the advance copy of Purple Haze
I happen to like it

I also like that mixtape he did
where they mixed his acapellas w/ Princestrumentals
