"Trickster!" Have you been reading The Signifying Monkey NPS? (Wonder what Skip Gates would say about that Don King-ism, "trickeration?")

'dre

rio said:

I always laugh whenever that part comes on

rio said:

Aw, keep trying, maybe you'll get it

Hey NuPowerSoul lemme grab a bucket of chicken and a copy of Jet and Im there!!!

1 2 3 4 Hey it works!

On the recording of the Berlin show you can hear people clapping on the 1 and 3 during The Work (not the easiest beat, but still...). Prince says something like "Hehe, I thought it was unnatural, but they really do it!" to someone in the band.

NuPwrSoul said:

Are you still writing it or has it been accepted somewhere already?

You should post it here. The Org is better than any "refereed" journal.

At the Celebration, I saw a few people having difficulty clapping on the 2 and 4, so they clapped every other measure, after catching their breath and getting back on count.

NuPwrSoul said:

Hehe you're mean

NuPwrSoul said:

That is so weird to me considering I was raised in a Pentacostal church and you learn to clap on the 2 and 4 before you say your first words.

I know I ain't right. Ain't got no sense. And ain't got no home training

On the real, I felt very sorry for these folks. They looked so sad, I couldn't even make fun of them cuz they were trying very very hard. They should get an A just for effort.

Clapping is so easy, I never understand why people can't get it, especially since Prince gives his fans so much practice.

It's just clapping.

calldapplwondery83 said:

It's called "the dutch count",I hate it when people start clappin on Sometimes it snows in April, don't do that morons

keyboardwizz said:

Oh God did they really clap during Sometimes it snows? Mhm mhm mhm

are we going to get into cultural essentialism again?

MrBliss said:

ha! guess if you skimmed this thread that's what you'd think huh? but look deeper my friend, any maybe check out what/who the "trickster" figure is and you'll see why I'm using those quotes to call P on his signifyin.
