'What's my name' - show your love for this masterpiece.

wow, I've said it before and I'll say it again 4 we know it 2b true - when P is angry and pissed off his creative energy flow is untouchable and the results are nearly always a joy to listen to. How great is this track?, the funk of the 95 era NPG, P actually doin' rap well,the lyrics, the sinister mixed down low lead vocal, the almost public enemy feel to it. I have the outtake with the vocal at normal volume but the released version is just so sinister!.
Hopefully one day soon funk tracks like this will become the norm again and not the rarity they have been over the last 5 years or so.

i'm kind of scared to listen to it anymore since it got stuck in my head
for an obsessive 16 months back when i first got a hold of a copy.

but whenever i do listen to it, i play it at least 10 times back to back.
it's phenomenal imo. absolutely phenomenal.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

it's an outtake from the come/gold era that was later released on
the official 1998 outtakes set Crystal Ball.

sorry, but was anyone there at Wembley stadium on the ACT 2 tour when he rapped and spat out the lyrics this, Jesus that evening was electric. Remember when he launched into the feroscious version of Peach after, wow! 'London RU with me?'.
