YES! its prince, I also like the concept that he's giving love to alot of the GREAT Jazz and Urban R/B and Latin Artists of the 21st Century.

Common has always been Hot Musically and he's a papi chulo(cutie)

That's funny...Mary J. Blige...? I repect her and all, but she seems out of place. I felt like I was taking the SAT, when they ask you to: "Circle the figure that doesn't fit or belong..."

No Erykah Badu? Supposedly his fiance, if they believe in that type of thing...

what's interesting is that last year, Kip Blackshire (former prince lead vocal) was rumored to have given 2 tracks he wrote, one to erikah Baduh, and the other to common...
I guess it stays in the family so 2 speak...

Sax? It's a microphone!

Anyway, that's a pretty awful cover in my own humble opinion.

It's true

From Launch.com
NEWS - Prince, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott And Others Join Common's 'Electric Circus'
10/30/2002



(10/30/02, 10 a.m. ET) -- Common's Electric Circus, due out on December 10 on MCA Records, boasts an all-star lineup of collaborators including Prince, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, ?uestlove from the Roots, and Sonny from P.O.D., among others.

The Neptunes and the Soulquarians (Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, James Poyser, Pino Pallidino, and Jay Dee) handle the album's production.

Blige appears on the album's first single, "Come Close," produced by the Neptunes.

While Common's gold 2000 album Like Water For Chocolate explored more soulful, funk terrain, Electric Circus melds the Chicago bred rapper's rock and jazz influences. "I feel it's a fusion of new music," Common told LAUNCH about the album. "We try to create something new within hip-hop, and it became a fusion of all the influences that we have in our music, whether it be a Pink Floyd or Jimi Hendrix or the Beatles, whoever it may be. As I opened up to new music I was able to implement that into my music, and interpret it in my own way. So, it's definitely for me a blend of that. And Miles Davis's On The Corner. It's kinda a fusion of a lot of that."

The album's sequencing has not been finalized; however, the following songs are slated to appear on the record: "I Am Music," featuring Jill Scott; "I Got Da Right Ta," featuring Pharrell; "Come Close," featuring Mary J. Blige; "Ferris Wheel," featuring Vinia Mojica and Marie Daulne of Zap Mama; "Soul Power"; "Aquarius," featuring Erykah Badu and Bilal; "Heaven Somewhere," featuring Omar Lye-Fook, Cee-Lo, Bilal, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Lonnie "Pops" Lynn; "Jimi Was A Rock Star," featuring Erykah Badu; "Between Me, You & Liberation," featuring Cee-Lo; "Electric Wire Hustle Flower," featuring Sunny from P.O.D.; "New Wave," featuring Laetitia Sadier; "Star *69 (PS With Love)," featuring Bilal and Prince on guitar; "The Hustle," featuring Omar Lye-Fook and Dart Chillz.
