"Feel Good" from Emancipation Outtakes I can't think what this song reminds me of, but it has a definite vibe of another Prince song or two. Thoughts? | |

I don't know Chaka's version at all. It's def a Prince tune I'm hearing. I can't for the life of me figure it out. | |

he had the right idea with 2020.. but it still lacked.. i guess that's why it's an outtake.. but he was in an interesting direction with that one. | |

I like it. It has a familiar Prince vibe, though I'm not sure what other specific song has the same DNA.
http://www.dtt-lyrics.com....html#feel Feel Good Created around a funky bassline, this groove by was on an early configuration of Emancipation and performed a few times in March 1995 aftershows. The lyrics are rapped and make a reference to Prince's last Warner Bros. contract ($10 million upfront per album) and fans recording his live shows. Feel Good And just like that, we comes with the phat And just like that, we comes with the phat Crazy molecular structure that acts on that ass Like U know it's supposed 2 Movin' more booties than a bull run past U Leavin' U with a brand new state of mind And by the time U figure it out, U wanna shout All your inhibitions U go'n do without (Don't U wanna feel good?) - And just like that, we come phat (Don't U wanna feel good?) - And just like flow, now U know (Don't U wanna feel good?) - And just like this, U get a kiss (Don't U wanna feel good?) - I gotsta feel good, feel good And just like flow, now U know Talkin' another 10 million every time they want this flow And it's good 2 go Cuz I don't check 4 critics if they checkin' 4 my ego So come 2 the show And bring your tape recorder cuz U oughta have a copy of the… Yo, wait a minute – no!

I wasn't there in the beginning. I think I joined about the time New Power Soul or Rave came out. Quick story: I remember purposely NOT participating in The Rainbow Children lyrics. I told Ted I just was not going to be a part of that album. I would, however, serve if we needed a tie breaker (everyone votes on the draft, makes corrections, and then we vote on the most likely lyric on any given "issue" until it's resolved). I just refused to do anything with that album or endorse it in any way. I still hate it with a passion. I did put it on the other night and try to listen. It was like having teeth pulled while giving birth at the same time. or something pretty close. haha [Edited 4/18/09 1:47am] | |

I always wondered why you were MIA for the transcription work. Have you heard from Ted since 'Planet Earth' was completed? ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

Here's my thoughts:
Verses: Big City Remix of "The Good Life" Chorus: Shoo-Bed-ooh In fact, it might've well on NewPowerSoul. |

It wouldn't be the first time Prince's people were on my ass about something. I welcome it for round 2. | |
