I love the guitar work on it.

You just heard it for the first time? Yes it is awesome.

One of the baddest, most attitude filled, hippest, relevant, cool, fonky tracks he's ever put out.

When i double this up with F.U.N.K. seriously, i can't take it, i gotta take breaks!!

G.O.A.T.

I've listen 2 it everyday sense I purchased it. I live all the songs on all three. His instruments, music, words. It all make sense. And it's funny too. Especially that song.

Your rite it is. Everytime it comes on I can't stop dancing around.

I just love this:

SOMEBODY THAT APPRECIATES A SEXY GROOVE
AND AN OLD SCHOOL MELODY
WHEN GOD HIS SON AND THE LOVE OF FAMILY
RULED IN THE COMMUNITY
THE SONGS U SING
LIFT U UP 2 HEAVEN
A HEAVEN WE CAN BELIEVE IN

here, here!

I like the song

I'm really starting to love this song even more.

but, yes...the song is awesome

U didn't see him do it live on Leno back in March during the 3 nite stint?

I like it

I think it's horrible. Maybe one of the worst 3 songs on the album. I'm normally into all the Camille tracks, but this one is agitating both lyrically and musically. If you want proof that Prince doesn't know music on a fundamental level, but mostly just kind of asses around in the studio until he has a track this is the song that proves it. I know that sounds shocking to some, but it's the only explanation I can think of at this point for the mysterious lack of musical intelligence that has plagued Prince music since LoveEcstacy came out in '88.

There it is then...For all of us who think O.S.C is the shit apparently it actually is shit.

Once again I am indebted to a 'prince fan' for keeping it real..thank you, now go and get your fucking ears tested!

best song om mpls, imo.

I like it. I could do without all the celebrity name-checking at the end (and throughout the album actually), but it's still a funky groove.

And what about your lack of intelligence to keep listening to music you don´t like

funksterr said:

And there u have it. Once again an orger has exposed their complete and utter lack of musical sensibility. I hope to God u are just playing otherwise wow what a fool.

O.S.C kicks ass. If I heard that jam in a club I'd be all over the floor doing splits and getting naked or something!

LMAO!

I always say stuff like this to people.

it's grown on me, i liked the live leno performance kinda swung it 4 me

It's very good and very funky. After a while it really grew on me.

This thread forced me to go and listen to it again. I had to go to lotusflower coz I've taken it off my hd already. I also took the time to read the lyrics, for the first time. So ok. Yes lyrically, very interesting, but sorry this sound just ain't my sound. I can't listen to the music part or the rappy vocal element. Leaves me cold. It has nothing to do with Prince just not my thing.

Like I said, I know for some of you the idea is shocking. Especially Fams. 10 years ago I could never have imagined that Prince wasn't capable of doing whatever he wanted musically, but the evidence is clearly in now. And it's all over LameAzzFiller, which, I believe is Prince's absolute best effort. It's the best he can do and it's boring and mostly not very enjoyable. OSC shoot's itself in the foot time and again. The lyrics attack the listener, picking a fight for no particular reason. The music is neither uplifting or relaxing, it's just annoying. It's not the work of a savvy veteran songwriter. It's just Prince lashing out at people. Apparently this time the crime is being young. I'm tired of Prince's pity party songs.

So one chocolate out of the box is not to your liking and you're going to toss the chocolate box in the dirt bin? What a luxury, you must be very rich

This track is really funky, I love blasting this track out when I'm drivin in my car, I made an extended mix of this song, added a few minutes onto it, (teletraan 2 mix)
