Purple Rain parody by Christion ( ex-Rocafella group) Check it out, it´s hilarious !

While googling the mid 90s Rocafella group Christion I found this funny little video that they did for their song "Let´em know". They were kinda hot for a minute in 1997 but somehow disappeared soon after. I think that group is one of the most underrated groups ever, that album was tight ! I´m looking for their Ghetto Cyrano album because I really slept on it back when it came out and haven´t seen it again anywhere eversince. Wonder how Prince and his camp felt about this video when it came out.

I think I will rename this thread.If this were about Prince´s butt or hairdo there would be much more going on in this thread. I´m really surprised that this video rarely gets discussed here, I think they did a great job.

Not a single musician or 'singer' in that video would have even made it to the auditions for Prince's Purple Rain era band. lol

True, they are a bit silly in that particular video but those guys were really talented. Here´s another video of them , the song is called Full of Smoke, and their singing reminds me a lot of Marvin Gaye.
Check it out:

They were one of the first groups on Jay-Z´s RocaFella label, and they were very promising in the beginning. Guess Jigga didn´t have enough clout to promote them right back then.His own debut album also didn´t do that well back then even though it´s my favorite Jay-Z album (Reasonable Doubt). This group came out in 1997, a year after Jay-Z´s Reasonable Doubt debut.
They were really cool and I was looking for some of their videos on YouTube, and there I discovered this little gem.Really funny video, I think.
They must be really into Prince to know all those details about the Purple Rain movie. Rapper Common also references that movie a lot in his music, some of the dialogues and all.

I still love that whole era! Morris was... and still is... the MAN! Yessss! smile

I met him backstage after a show in Atlantic City. Good guy... fun to talk to. Hope to meet him again one day!
The public is squeezin' you kiddo. You'd better kick ass on your next album or else!
