What r your fav raps that are actually by Prince?
With all this recent orgtalk of the rappers that he used, I'd like to say that I think Prince is an amazing rapper, all his own. The stuff that doesn't come off is when Tony or TC or whoever try to come off all Gangster.

I'd have to nominate Race, Dead on It, and Come On extended on Jay Leno.

Thoughts?

Ripopgodazippa
Race
Gett Off
Face Down

Race

off the top of my head, I know that I love the Big City Remix of The Good Life.

Days of Wild - as recorded live in Mpls, in feb 94 (cd kisses deluxe n°40)

Days of wild

Irresistible Bitch

Sexy Muthafucka!

I always felt "Gett Off" and "Ripopgodazippa" were more singing than rapping. That's just me.

ernestsewell said:

I have that feeling too, it's not TRUE rap like in Race, but there are some rap moments.

His best raps are the ones where you forget he's rapping:

Irresistible Bitch
Gett Off
Race
Now

Although these don't fit in that category, they're prety good too:

Acknowledge Me (the first part)
Right Back Here in My Arms
Get Wild
Sexy MF
18 and Over

Ooh! Ooh! I forgot "Feel Good"

"Santa getcha all wet, 'cept he's using snow. I get make u slippery with the icicle...oh!"

I like the relaxed slow tempo vibe.

Acknowledge Me

Pussy Control!

POPE

that is easily his best rap.

he sounds so amazing on that.

I do love that song.

ernestsewell said:

Me too! Ahh, three positive posts in a row, who are we and what happened to prince.org?

There's a dodgy live recording of some concert when P had just written Pope, and he says it over a slow funk groove, sounds completely different. I listened to that song 100000 times when it came out on the Hits, Pink Cashmere too.

TGRES "Adam and Eve remix"
Daisy Chain
18 and Over
Sexy M.F.
Jerk Out
Days of Wild
Race
Feel Good
Mr. Goodnight
Love Machine

Big Chick
"security ensuring thee"

BigChick said:

Dang, what are you that makes those songs seem appealing?

ernestsewell said:

I just like Mr. Goodnight. It's got an "18 and Over" vibe to it and I just like it. Prince never bores me with his "Global Sport Fucking Conquest" songs. As for TGRES(Adam and Eve) remix I really dig that "Bills, Bills Bills" part in the middle of the song. Has some Haunting echoes of"Pop Life" in it.

And Mayte sounds sexy as hell on that tune too!

Sometimes it seems that way! I started this whole thread cause of the "worst prince rap" thread, but it's nice to get together and say YAY! to a bunch of songs.
