Indeed it does, the 2 songs so share some other musical elements too. Good spot.  Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. |

Maybe I should stay out of here today, if this is the stuff that's going on in here. I Hate U "one of the greatest Prince songs"?  See, I would think you would be all over this thread instead of one about I Hate U.  | |

CarlM said: I hate u was a great slow tune because you knew it had a reference to a particular situation and seemed almost personalised! I suppose you could relate to it a bit if you were in a certain similar situation but it was more unique to his other slow ballads because of some of the lyrics! The court room ones in particular  Fucking genius! "Your honor may I call to the stand my one and only witness ... I know what you did, where you did it and who you did it with, so you might as well plead guilty cause you sure can't plead the fifth."  | |

It's definitely one of his greatest songs. And it's one of the few songs out there that gets even better in the latter half. The court room fantasy is perhaps his greatest moment ever; the way he sings and the atmosphere. | |

Agree! The song builts up very nicely. I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic. |

I recall that this song was released as a single while the OJ Simpson trial was going on.There was all this talk about OJ "pleading the fifth" and then this song comes out! Strange timing,huh?

This song spoke to me as a sixteen year old when it came out in 95, I had just broke up with my girl and this song is exactly how I felt about her at that time. | |

I LOVE this song. I listen to it over and over. The arrangements and lyrics are killer. And P's delivery during the "court" part of the song. Dope. "Get up off that grey line" | |
