Dont get me wrong, i love Princ funkin it up, but for a guy who can do it all, his FUNK is stuck at this point. Its time for a lyric driven album, and Prince playing some guitar, his sampling/programming needs to be left behind just once, not that its a bad thing for him, its just being overused to death on the last two studio albums.

I Love Prince's funk, it's so natural with him.

i agree lastdecember, the simple groove based party funk has grown a little tired, good as it sounds live.

i'd don't care what instruments he uses, and whether it's funk or rock or whatever, I jus wanna hear good songs. Good pop melodies, the kind you sing in the shower, or drunk with your arms round your friends.

Its natural but he needs to save it fo the shows and jamming. He needs to bring back that fun rock stuff that he used to do so "naturally" and "Guitar" aint it!

More Funk.

See....this is why I got pissed as hell back in 1982 when I heard "Little Red Corvette" being played on pop radio. We never heard remarks like this from Prince fans back when Prince was being played on R&B radio only.

I won't be mad at this album if its funky..

I hope he doesn't leave funk behind! I hope this album has some serious funk. One can never be exposed to too much funk IMO.

JonnyApplesauce said:

cuz times change
read who mooved my cheese

he needs to be on a hip hop tip now
he needs lil wayne and lil boosie to guest rap

Was the original thread re: hip hop? No matter, hes played w/ alot of hip hop artists. Questlove and Pharrell are so influenced by him, hed be trying to imitate himself. But sure, maybe he reads this stuff. The suggestion box is prolly open.

I don't care what kind of album it is I just wanna like it.

man, i tell u, these org'ers....

Really then buy they sh$t; Prince don't need these no musician playing bros on his CD! Prince going to do what he wants to do and put on that CD what he wants to put on it!

You can never have too much funk! He's had a few funky songs scattered here and there over the last few albums, but it's been quite a while since he put out an album that was mostly funk. If anything we need *more* funk.


(Just wait until FuNkeNsteiN sees this thread. )

Many times when I leave these boards,
I tend to leave my funk behind.
