I've been spending a lot of time re-acquainting myself with The Black Album recently and one thing is puzzling me.

About 13 seconds into '2 Nigs United...', during the segue, Prince says "My name is..." but I can't work out what the HELL he says. It's not gonna change my life but it's irritating me beyond belief! Can anyone work out what he says?

BTW - what an AMAZING album! Those horns on 'Cindy C' - phew!

Uhm...
There are several tracks overimposed.
And Calhoun Square (the site) does not have all tracks transcribed.
The same tracks were used for the end of :I: No segueing into Alphabet St.
And again for the fucke dup intro of Joy In Repetition as released...if I remember right.

"My name is... Crabtree The Third"

???

From memory...

Gooey - how the hell did you type that so quickly??! I'm amazed!
So am I hearing things? I swear I can hear Prince say, in a very deep voice, 'My name is...'.

Sorry - just read your full post! Jumping the gun again!
'Crabtree The Third'??? What on earth is that?

I always thought he said something like: "My name is Henry Cash the 3rd. I got more holes than a golf course"

Maybe I´m crazy but that is what I hear.

"My name is Andre Crabtree. I got more holes than a golf course"

My name is Andre Crabtree the 3rd.
I got more holes than a golf course!

"Hooo Weee, you see that? her name's Annabel Crabtree, she got more holes than a golf course"

or so i hear.

Neversin said:

Your right.
I don't remember in voices in 2 Nigs United 4 West Compton...

Except the part where they say at the begining and at the end. "2 Nigs United for West Compton"

Oh yeah, I hear the bit he means...
I can't work it out though, he might not even be saying "My name is..." it's low in the mix on the left channel.

BorisFishpaw said:

Is what i say, lotsa tracks overimposed.
DTT had all tracks transcribed, but is DOWN.
ANd Calhoun Square has just the main bit, which I posted first, to find out it did not have the Prince vocal.

So I did it from memory, at least the name.

The only part I can make out is the fuck me pumps and the "who u callin' bitch? Hoe bitch!"

I thought he said "My name is...Irene Crabtree...more holes than a gold course".

Yeah,like I always said Prince is the Mutherfucking Man . He the Pimp Daddy Mack! Yes,it's all about the Pimp sandwhich and he got Hoes in Different Area codes. Word! But it is True cause there was alot with Hoes and BoB George being a Pimp and all. What about Rudolphs and I be going there and they have Minneapolis Pimps or I had them following me from the Greyhound Terminal. And he's with his Pimp Rag,Tootsie Pop ,and a Cane. Or in Minneapolis He's the MACK. Here it goes with Morris saying in Graffiti Bridge It's All about The Pimp Sandwhich in Chocolate. Seems as if it wasn't music Prince be Doing he be Selling Hoes! Got a serious Hooker Fantasy for Real. Vanity6 being originally THE HOOKERS and Vanity as VAGINA. What's up with the Shit? So he want ya ta call him Daddy? Oh,Yeah!

Crazy Shit!
