"What Have U DOne 4 Me Lately" Prince roumor

Is the re a roumor he wrote this? Someone said in a concert he asked everybody "who wrote that!?"

Are there other songs that are big that he claims he wrote?

During the Nude tour the band would break out into this song with Rosie singing "What have you done for me lately?" and then Prince saying "Who wrote that?"

It was written by Jam and Lewis, right?

So maybe Prince was implying that either he did write it and Jam and Lewis nicked it from him, or maybe he wrote a similar tune whilst Jam and Lewis were with The Time and they plagiarised it. Just a guess.

or something less sinister, like he's just giving a musical shoutout to jam and lewis.

Exactly! He's just letting everyone know that the funk is alive in Minneapolis.

There's no mystery - same goes for TLC and Waterfalls.

I don't know why people keep dragging this shit up.

I do remember reading or watching something on Janet and it mentioned that her father didn't want her working with Jam and Lewis in Minneapolis because she would end up sounding like "that motherfucker Prince".

Classic.

Sorry, I forgot to adjust my sarcasm level for prince.org, I know there's a lot of people on here who don't get camp bitchiness.

I'd say the same here. Just to pay hommage to Jam and Lewis...
