I'm here to officially to say that the best song of this album and in my opinion one of Prince's best artistic works is "Dreamer". Once you dig deep into this song lyrically, this song is an absolute jewel that 10 year ago could compete on the billboard rock charts easily.

I'm absolutely in love with this song. I jam this as loud as it could go in my car with no shame.

I say heck, if people can play the garbage called "gangster rap" as loud as their systems will allow, I can jam some knowledge from the master and legend of Prince.

Please opine as to your favorite track and why.

Enough with the hatin' on hip hop already.

The people that hate it the most are the people that never listened to real hip hop.

after a few listens i actually think you are correct ...

there are a few others that seem ok... in general ... i have pretty much already given up on the cds ... the Bria thing is unlistenable ... and where do they say Elixer is the best track??? ugh ...

I think the best song on Lotus is Dreamer and on MPLS is Chocolate Box

Dance 4 me. Cause it's got a great beat
Ole skool Company cause I'm ole skool !

I'm not hating on hip hop. I said "gangster rap" I do not believe there is anything artistic or uplifting about that garbage. I do listen to real hip hop. Kanye West, Common, Lupe, Nas, some of Tupac, and some of Lil Wayne (especially The Carter III)... I think overly excessive violent rap music is not artistry.

Nonetheless,

I come from a very different school of thought.

But Dreamer in my opinion is an absolute jewel... this song in my opinion should be released no matter what its success.

Boom, Dance 4 Me, Crimson and Clover and 77 Beverly Park

These songs are the best on both cd's
