"I Hate U" Appreciation Thread!

So today, for the first time ever, I bumped "I Hate U." The title caught my attention, and I love it. It kind of, in a small way, reminds me of "Scandalous." I love this song. I love the lyrics. I love how it has the whole lyric references to a court of law. How original. Prince needs to ALWAYS be given credit where credit is due, and this track deserves LOTS. music I'm so happy I found this song. I dig it. Just think, before today, I always skipped this track for, "Gold."

Prince - I am your fan to keep.

P.S.
I love the "Billy Jack Bitch" sample at the start of the track. How awesome. biggrin

I used to struggle with this song, but then it totally blew me away and I've loved it ever since. I can't believe you'd never listened to it before!

"Right now I hate U so much I wanna make love." music One of my favorite parts in the song.

Eye Hate U is a really a great song all by itself. The lyrics and great musicainship in it. It's up there as my top 10 favorite Prince ballads.
You should really get the Eye Hate U CD Maxi single. The Eye Hate U(Extended Remix) and Eye Hate U(Quite Night Mix) is the shit. Probably better than the album version. But all are great. thumbs up!
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

One of my all time favorite slow jams, it's perfect. And the spoken section midway is pure gold. "Close your eyes..I'm gonna cover yo ass with this sheet"

On a more serious note, I can really identify with the lyrics.

How could you have skipped such a great song? I really love it. I have always loved it. I think the guitar solo at the end is one the most emotional pieces of music ever. You can jsut feel the love/hate in it. Unbelievable.

As for Billy Jack Bitch - I love the horn section at the end. Again, one of the best ever.
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really donĀ“t like the idea that he could have it all."
