The following are definitions of "Baby Mama" from the Urban Dictionary. Is Prince simply mis-using the slang? Is he extolling the virtues of children out of wedlock? Or did he just need a term that rhymed with "drama"? Read and discuss:

BTW, the song is growing on me, (you can hear it non-stop on 3121.com) I just find the term a bit "Maury Show" for Prince to write a ballad on.


1. baby mama

The mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved.

Oh her? She ain't nothing to me now, girl, she just my baby mama. So, can I get your number?

2. baby mama

single mother of a child

3. baby mama

A term used to define an unmarried young woman (but can be a woman of any age) who has had a child. As mentioned before in another definition, most of the time it is used for when it was simply a sexual relationship, compared to ex-wife or girlfriend. Usually this has a negative connotation, a lot of baby mamas are seen as desperate, gold digging, emotionally starved, shady women who had a baby out of spite or to keep a man. Sometimes they may act like this because of missed child support payments, unfulfilled promises by the father, or convenient sex by the father. Either or both may exist in any situation.

Joe didn't have any relationship with that chick, she was the "other woman" who ended up being his baby mama.

Maybe Andy's baby mama is pissed because he said he was taking his sons to get a haircut but instead ended up playing dominoes with his boys.

Tiffany is a greedy baby mama; she is using her child support payments to buy her new boyfriend some speakers for his car.



4. baby mama

Basically a woman you had a child or children with who you didnt marry and or no longer involved with.Usually associated with hoodrats and trailer park bitches.

I didnt marry my baby mama because she was a bitch.

5. Baby Mama

tl;dr


but no

I dunno. It's probably the least appealing come-on he's ever put on record. All those other girls aren't "future baby mama" material, but this girl is. Wow. How flattering


Not sure he gets the connotations of "baby mama".

All I need 2 know is that I love the song.

Irony.

I suppose I could have been more clear, but I thought addressing the rhyme scheme of the song would suggest I'm at lease halfway joking.

Thank you! Someone finally said it.

it's his way of saying none of them have what it takes for him to share his paynus (insert it )and lay purple eggs




'posed to make ya feel special ....even tho the song is nice



the term is so not Prince at all ! he had a way of using word play now he's just singing what everyone says day-to-day it's very Maury Povich
[Edited 6/27/07 22:58pm]

prince is a narcissist and a gemini to boot, what beliefs? LOL he has no memory nor does his stick to anything or anyone, every day is a new day. trust me he'll do a nasty record sooner than later and rationalize it as an epiphany.

Here we go

given his past with mayte i find this song to be rather

Yep P is a little too old (and cultured) to be using this "term"!

Raajput said:

Guess, P doesn't see it that way. He wants to stay young forever and slowly morphs into this weird older guy who thinks nobody will notice what an old fart he really is, if he's using young people's terminology. Sorry Prince, act your age, not your shoe size!

i'm 40, professional, my ex is 39 and a principal and when she calls me regarding our 17 year old she'll say this is yo baby mamma. now being a principal of a middle school she may not want her students to hear that side of her but we're old friends. Now, we wouldnt put it out there like that cus we grown, maybe prince should focus on making some baby's with his old ass LOL.

I hate that phrase. He should've just called it Draws Outside Da Laws. He could've killed both the civil marriage and the JW birds with one stone.
