I'm not to sure of the accuracy of what I am digging up, but there is going to be a new book released that apparently was written by a lawyer from "Uptown" magazine that once had a legal dispute with Prince. I know very little of this. I have included one link I found. Can anyone shed light on this?

I ABSOLUTELY hate the title of this book and wonder how cruel someone has to be to print those words as the title!

Check the Org news page--theres two threads on it there.

ooops sorry everyone.

I like the title, it gives melodramatic feel, I only hope that it will not be too much pro W&L

"The rise and fall"...in the eyes of critics??? And I'm still bewildered about the "Possessed" part.

don't aplogize - u can't remember every thread ever posted
thank 4 for the info anyway

jnoel said:

Too melodramatic, IMO. Makes it sound like he was once on top of the world & now he's doing crack in an alley somewhere - he ain't Rick James!! He's still doing his thing, never stopped, just got on a different path & ain't nothing wrong with that...

it shall be a interesting Read.I Understand the title.nobody stays on top forever but different Acts slide in different ways.but it's cool that folks want too drop a Book on someone.Rick James ain't done yet.

"The rise and fall of prince", wtf? And what's up with the "possesed" part, When was Prince ever "possessed"?

Ohhh, but he IS...

you & I
we fit together like a glove on hand
that's right...

MEMORIES, y'all...

lovebizzare said:

Possessed could refer the Prince song "Possessed" or the fact that he's possessed w/ the need to make music... or both.

CalhounSq said:

i assumed that it was the song... which is the muthafuckin jam, by the way...

"i don't want to hold you, but my body says i must
cuz if i don't, ya know your pussy puts up quite an awful fuss.."


i like the vocal version much better than the instrumental... but either way, that song kicks major ass... especially when he does it on the "prince & the revolution live" video- all james brown style... very nice...

EllisDee said:

Okay, that's it!! I need a lyric book!!! I never knew he said that I can't understand half the shit he's mumbling in that song. Does a lyric book exist???

CalhounSq said:

you act as if these Acts out nowadays could Hold Rick from coming Back?? there is always time for a Comeback&with the way the Cat is Sampled.Looped&still Winning Industry Awards out of Billboard for Cats using His Stuff there is always a Chance.

CalhounSq said:

Go to getlyrics.com , they have over 200 prince lyrics

mistermaxxx said:

Not if he keeps smoking crack, fighting women & going to jail... CLINK-CLINK

Don't get me wrong, I dig Rick But I'm convinced his time is DONE. Been out the game too long, can't make a comeback going on Keenan & singing w/ Bobby Womack about "pimpin' ain't easy"... WTF?? I know he's probably moved on from all that craziness, but to what??

It's alright, we got memories of Rick. That may have to be enough... BUSTIN OUT!!!

lovebizzare said:

But I want a book I can crack open & refer to whenever (too cheap to print all that out & make a book myself). Is there no lyric book for Princey??

lovebizzare said:

I'm tired of the "Prince is an asshole (even if he's one) W&L are Angels, he stole their music blah blah" ,if he did they should have sued him period, they have released 2 albums in 13 years I guess it's not P's fault too.

CalhounSq said:

we are possessed

When are you people going tos top OBSESSING over just a freaking title???!!

EVERY artist rises and falls in certain ways, EVEN Prince,


And Prince has done a lot of crap to his carreer.

Talking Lyrics Book, there is an e-book available with all prince lyrics upto Rave. I use this on my PDA as a handy reference. The link is http://cirrus.spaceports.com/~npg2001/
Hope this helps.

CalhounSq said:

i don't think a lyric book exists, because i think prince would have to authorize before it could happen... and i really don't think prince is about to do that...

but calhounsquare.com is still online... the address is http://64.239.7.142/index.htm and they have the best prince lyric archive that i can think of...

THANKS for all the lyrics tips, y'all!
