I mean...
It sounds like "Controversy"
Somebodies gotten ripped off... isnt that always the way?
It says new song 2008 in the title but I think it may be for an album for this year.

That she put her lame vocals over his track!

And he ain't suing her huge foreheaded ass because why!?

Mebe this

Wow.

1) Rihanna is hot. I don't care what anyone says.

2) This is CLEARLY Controversy. The beat, the tone, the instruments and the cadence for the phrasing of "Sexuality" is eerily similar. Prince should *totally* sue her.

I mean, if that bullcrap with TMBGITW sounding like Takin' Me To Paradise was legit, there's no DENYING this similarity. Whoa.

I mean, I like Rihanna...matter of fact LOVE Rih Rih , but this song doesnt make the cut for me...I think she could pull it off though if the song is actually completed. I just hate the fact that its a blatant ripoff...

"Sex u a lity..."

We would have heard about this if there was some sort of 'joint' or legal sampling going on.

This is a case of some jackass writing a song for Rihanna, and everyone just goin' about their business, stupid as can be, never knowing they're ripping off a much better song.

I've had an account with You Tube for years and they tell me this video isn't available in my country. WTF? I created the fucking account in this country. Why would it be OK to create and account from here but not be allowed to view material?

it seems like music releases are done way before their time...and although music is timeless, its seems we are about to be in a wave where princes music is not gonna be on the back burner....what i'm listening to now fits not just me but everyone, so with that in mind, he best be ready to compete and/or collect royalties/service fee (whatever it is when you sample someone elses tracks...etc. )


People who like prince are gonna automatically like it...i certainly do.

I don't like it. It sounds like there are a few notes missing from the melody. It actually sounds like a truncated version of Controversy. If one is going to do a Prince cover, they should have the decency to do it properly. This half assed attempt is contemptuous to his legacy.

I agree.

cherrymoongirl said:

My roommate, who isn't really a Prince fan, ASKED me if it was a cover version.

I had to explain that - no, this is in fact what we call a blatant rip-off :p

myfavorite said:

Thats better

sounds ok....maybe prince gave the OK for it to be done?

What's the title of the song? Can't access YouTube

Sexuality, if you can believe it :p

It sounds like a potential lawsuit.
Yep, "borrowed" tilte song and music.

kimrachell said:

probaly a LOT of $$ involved....

Funny though that it ''borrows'' both the title and the music from two different Prince songs.....

Thanks for posting the song and now that I've heard it WOW! What a blatant rip-off on two counts

Is this a new song or an unreleased song?

i like it

her voice is terrible..she's sooo overrated. i hope 2 god p hasn't given his blessing on this

dseann said:

contemptuous???? I heard many songs by prince that have familiar tracks of other artists! Is not imitation a form of flattery???? How many times have i seen a thread of the same notion!

and also you should know there is nothing new under the sun....things will repeat themselves especially music. what hip/hop song (excluding rap maybe) do you know of in the 80's that did not sound like a prince production???? Lots of artists...Junior for instance sounded like Prince!

and I think it a travesty he would move so far away from his own sound that he sounds antiseptic. If i want mouthwash, I'll have listerine, otherwise, paint my pictures! ! ! I say GO Rihanna! ! ! !

and furthermore...dsean, you seem as though you are full of it.

This is an out-right rip-off.

Remember when George Harrison got in trouble for using the tune for "He's So Fine?"

Yeah, this is pretty much the same thing, but worse, because the song's title continues the assault. So I say "Suckit, Rihanna!" Yes, that is very much a request as well as a condemnation.

thats uuuuugley.
