Jay-Z / Beyonce again namecheck Prince ?

It is learnt that Jay-Z again namechecks Prince in a song called 'Venus Vs Mars' from his latest album - The Blueprint III. The song also reportedly features Beyonce

I don't know if Beyonce is the girl singing the hook but the line goes:

I thought shorty like Mike found out she like Prince,
Thought she was Adrian, its been Rocky ever since.

So "shorty" is still in the hip-hop vernacular, huh? Uh, Jay-Z... when little kids and grandmas start using these terms - put that shit to bed.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

NONSENSE

If Prince & Jay Z were to tour together there wouldn't be a stadium big enough.

This line is so easy to figure out.. He's sayin he thought the girl liked Michael Jackson found out she liked Prince. He thought she was a Adrian (Rocky Movie) meaning a good girl but it's been rocky (unstable) ever since.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.
