Old Prince sample ('God') in MC Solaar 1997 Paradisiaque song Les Boys Bandent

Old Prince sample ('God') in MC Solaar 1997 Paradisiaque song Les Boys Bandent

Hello y'all,

Although this topic is merely about a related or other artist, I dare to put this new discussion topic in the Prince: Music and More-section.

Lately I listen a lot to MC Solaar - this because I have to work part time in Paris and it's most enjoyable French rap and good music, too.
Anyway, it was the day before yesterday that I really got goose bumps when I listened closely to track 11 'Les Boys Bandent' (The Boys Band) of MC Solaar's 1997 album Paradisiaque.

After the second refrain, around 2:35 minutes a crying vocalisation starts and end so recognisable at 2:58 minutes.

Quickly I pressed rewind and had to listen again, but I was most certain:
it IS Prince's 1984 vocalisations from that wonderful song 'God' that MC Solaar sampled here.

I say vocal because it never was words or sentences. It's also hearable from 0:54 to 1:03 in the refrain "Boys Bandent". It's the sound "waa-aah-aah-aah-ooh" that Prince starts the song God with, before his refrain 'In the beginning...'

Anyone interested in the song:

Mc Solaar - Les Boys Bandent

Après réflexion, j'évite la pression
Entre digne, droit, fier de ma prestation
Préparation physique, free style en coulisse
Mais je sais que je suis pas Luis Mariano bis
Il me faut des abdos, mais pas trop
Si j'enlève le haut, je fais peur aux minos
Mon atout principal est le microphone
Mais si le verbe est herbe, je crois que j'ai de la bonne
Les maux par les mots, c'est ainsi que guérit
Le guerrier aguerri ta Laarso-thérapie
Je peux pas me diluer comme de la poudre Tang
Je prépare un casting pour faire un boys band

Boys Bandent

Boys, Boys, Boys chantait Sabrina
Moi j'écoutait pas j'étais plus "Step in the Arena"
Un clip dans la bassine, non c'était une piscine
Dans mon livre d'histoire, elle remplaçait Staline
C'est peut-être pour ça qu'Pierre avait le poster
Et qu'il donnait même plus de bouffe à son hamster
La vie est ainsi faite, ainsi va la vie
Il n'a plus de papier peint, mais des filles en bikini
Quand vient l'été, il part à la plage
Cherche le point stratégique: va pas croire qu'il nage!
Y a pas de délit donc pas d'antigang
Mais force est de constater que pleins de boys bandent

Boys Bandent

Changement d'axe, parlons d'autres choses
Faut de tout dans ce monde en métamorphose
Tu sais! L'univers est infini
Et dans l'immensité nous somme tous riquiqui
Donc je fais ce que j'aime et si ça me plaît pas
Je réfléchis vite et puis ne le fais pas
Je baigne dans la musique
Elle devance le monde, pure vibe antistatique
Donne-moi un bic, un thème et un tempo
Laisse-moi dix minutes et on te ramène un morceau
Cadavre exquis Style à la demande
Les trois mots choisis étaient les boys bandent

Boys Bandent


[google quickly translates this as:

Upon reflection, I avoid the pressure
Between worthy, right, proud of my performance
Physical training, freestyle backstage
But I know I am not a Luis Mariano
I need abs, but not too
If I remove the top, I'm afraid to minos
My greatest asset is the microphone
But if the verb is grass, I think I have good
Pains with the words, thus heals
The seasoned warrior your Laarso therapy
I can not get diluted like powdered Tang
I am preparing to audition for a boy band

Boys In The Band

Boys Boys Boys Sabrina sang
I listen I was not "Step In The Arena"
A clip in the basin, it was not a pool
In my history book, she replaced Stalin
That may be why the post had qu'Pierre
And he gave even more food for his pet hamster
Life is so made, such is life
He has more than wallpaper, but girls in bikinis
When summer comes, he goes to the beach
Seeking a strategic point: will not believe it swim!
There's no crime not to gang
But it is clear that full of boys bend

Boys In The Band

Change axis, talking about other things
Is everything in this world in metamorphosis
You know! The universe is infinite
And in the vastness we are all riquiqui
So I do what I like and if it does not please me
I thought quickly and then do not do
I was surrounded by music
It goes beyond the world, pure vibe antistatic
Give me a pen, a theme and tempo
Let me ten minutes and we'll take you back a bit
Exquisite Corpse style at the
The three chosen words were the boys bend

Boys In The Band

Grazie Prince for the good music!
What do you mean it's not in the computer?
