for Prince's I HATE U? This is a simple appreciation thread for:










I was playing this song for someone the other day and at first she seemed displeased but after hearing the whole song she said she loved it and leave it to Prince to make a song like this. Anybody else dig this one? extended version? Eric Leeds Quiet Night Mix version?

Right here nice pics PEJ

I love it 'cause I hate it

Yes, the album version is Prince's finest track of the 1990s, imo...

I want it-where can I buy it

nurseV said:

ebay perhaps but if you buy it will you listen to it or put it next to your black album?

PEJ said:

I'm listening to it If it gets shelved next to the Black album it's over

PEJ said:

haha, I saw the other thread and I wonder about this too,

strange to own a great album like the black one - and then never play it

I love it! It is always on my mind!

Fabu song PEJ.

thedance said:

Okay, okay I'll dig it out and play it Org peer pressure is a bitch!

I Hate U,

it turned out to be the leading single of The Gold Experience, in the fall of 1995:

Prince's last big hit: #12 on Billboards Hot 100,

thedance said:

yes, if it's truly love in the first place. Although love can turn into hate, if you let it. You will always have a choice.

i hate u.....because i love u - but love will always conquer hate in the end baby!

we all been thru that haven't we??? Princey was preaching to the choir with this song.

yes - it's the cord that runs through us all. We all understand it.
Love hurts and heals us all.

well played, pej.

I like the full on album version. I hate the remix because of the dry synthy/drum machine sound in it. It looses a LOT of its appeal that way. I wish Eric had soloed over the album version. I have that single though.

I love this song... I love it when I can recognize my own emotions.

I LOVE this song. I prefer the album version to the extended one but even that's cool. The guitar solo at the end makes me go nuts. I damn near lost it the very first time I heard this song. It's so powerful. Great song from a very memorable era.

thedance said:

was this seriously his last big hit?

love it,,one of the last songs from him that got you right in the gut. Non apolegetic lyrics just straight up emotion

the vid is hot. Mayte looks so pretty. Prince looks so well groomed...you know manly not all prissified. She do her little nasty dance too. ahhh the good ole days.

Love I HATE U

Other than that stupid shaved head Cassidy/Britney look I really love his girly/sexy look here.

So damn hot!

My all-time favourite Prince song, period.


Musically and lyrically it is just perfect. I could talk about it for hours, but I'll just leave it the way it is and hope that more people other than me feel about this song the way I do.

I can't ever forgive that shaved patch and glitter gel

I hated this look with the shaved and glittered look.
