is just a sick sick song

Ok so I'm listening to Planet Earth and overall it really sucks in my opinion but SHOE, TOUWC, and Future Baby Mama are outstanding

Chelsea is pretty good, All the Mid-nights, Resolution, Lion of Juda all have potential but the weak vocals hurt them in my opinion

I pray for the day when I don't have to skip over songs on a Prince record or not embrassed to play it in front of others

Tame said:

Sick Sick song means they like it.... That Jordan dunk was just sick... See?

prime said:

I'm just glad the 90's are over and people don't say "bad" much anymore.
Now THATS confusion.

Alexandernvrmind said:

does that mean your sick and tired of the song?
Or its a bad song ?

Love the song,and the album 2.

And I agree exactly about the vocals on the album. Even on the stronger tracks they're lacking. I've never heard that side to his voice before. 3121 wasn't like that, it's like his voice got weaker in the span of a year. But then again, it could just be production or even intentional.

Oh..pardon my ghetto.

Tame said:

wow...I din't think that "sick" was a ghetto term. Sick means wicked, very good etc... Somebody needs to get out more

Yup ... Ghetto... HAHAHAHA LOL

PRINCE LYRICS - FUTURE BABY MAMA LYRICS

I’ve heard it said my love was look-a-like
But could it be that I was lookin’ 4 U?
They were cool but somethin’ wasn’t right
They had me fooled 4 a minute and then I saw the truth

None of them got what it takes, 2 b a future baby mama
Gotta bend in the wind but don’t break, 2 keep yo man
Show me one of them and i’ll make her mine with no more drama
Future baby mama….

I’ve heard it said that I won’t treat U right
But they ain’t sure cuz I don’t know nothin’ about U
U’re 2 secure 2 eva wanna fuss and fight
Tha’s Y yo man neva eva got a reason 2 doubt U

Yeah I know U might b fine, but I’ve seen it all b 4,
Cinderella was a waste of time, then oops she’s out the door
2 build a strong foundation, the thing that matters more,
Is under the floor, a strong foundation that lasts forever more


Outstanding!

Didn't like FBM when I first heard it but over time it grew on me. The first three songs are great though... Guess everyone will like something different. The genius of Prince's music is thats its diverse enough to attract people who're into all types of genres.

FBM is one of the best tracks on Planet Earth.

It's one of my favorites, his voice is so sexy!

I really like FBM - In fact I am a Future Baby Mama! I'm thinking about getting it printed onto a maternity t-shirt

Cute idea! I might have 2 do that when I start having kids.

Tame said:

I like it. its got a very Controversy time period feel.

MrsGoodnight said:

Actually, I kind of thought of that when this song first came out.
But I was thinking that it should be on a baby-tee.

I'm pretty sure its intentional...I just don't care for it though. All the Midnight...Resolution, and especially the Lion of Juda I just wish he sung them differently

The CD as a whole just lacks a punch except of course for those 3 songs in a row in the middle

Its a very clever song...not at all trendy as the title might imply. The arrangement is really good and vocal strong. It really reminds of his earlier Do Me Baby and Adore and When 2 R N Luv classics

Prince's comercial career (selling lots of records) is over but, Future Baby Mama should have been a monster hit on urban and some cross over radio. Its the kind of catchy title and phrasing and even hook that others dream of writing. If Justin wrote it ...it would have been all over the radio. Like his Prince rip off Until the End of Time

Sick meaning cool.
Cool meaning hot.
Hot meaning bad
Bad meaning good.

Gotta keep up with those young'uns and their whipersnapper lingo!

sucks, sucks and sucks sorry ya'll!

The title of the song is what kills it for me. Come to think of it, FBM is quite boring. I like the beat but he's done way. WAY better than this. SHAME ON YOU PRINCE!
