yeah yeah yeah that's the wildest,& the sound of cereal being poured in2 the bowl,just fcukin classic!!!

Lol!I always geta kick outta this song!It is very funky and very funny.I plyae it for this very critical music lover I know who said Prince isn't funky anymore and all he said was,"damn".Lol.That was funny to see him change his mind.

That whole second disc of Emancipation is very strong!

This song rocks with that wild music. Oh,Smack!! SEX ME??

I love the three movements. A lesser talent would have taken that song, and cut it up into three songs that would be eaten up by today's listening audience.

Definitely one of my favs.

I know you guy don't like it much, but Emancipation had some cool ass songs on it.

a great and funny funky song.i also like the tapdancing sound in the song.and the way it goes into differend styles .

Check.

to everything that's been said here...

CO-SIGN

even after my 1st listen to emancipation, I knew this was the cut...to this day it's one of all time favorites...

I'VE LOVED THIS SONG FROM DAY ONE! THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNKIEST SONGS FROM PRINCE IN DA 90'S AND I AGREE EMANCIPATION WAS A GREAT ALBUM.JOINT2JOINT ASIDE, THIS ALBUM COULD HAVE USED JOHN BLACKWELL'S XPERTISE. THE EVER CHANGING FLOW OF THIS CUT IS AMAZING, I'D LOVE 2 HEAR IT LIVE...THAT WOULD BE A REAL TREAT. JOINT2JOINT IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVES. A CUT MADE OF THE SAME CLOTHE AS BATDANCE IN A LOT OF WAYS

...!!!

I love the part where he sings about soul mates and then says you don't even know what cereal I like, etc.Who but Prince could create such a song?

"Joint 2 joint nothing comes 4 free..."

Great song!that's why I'm baffled by the choice of singles
from Emancipation "Betcha By Golly Wow" and "The Holy River"
PLEASE "Sex In The Summer" "In This Bed Eye Scream"or "J2J"
would have gotten the project a little more attention

'Sex In The Summer' alone would have pipped teeny band Tatu to the post by no less than six years. Just listen to that sampled drum beat on their 'All The Things She Said' single.

Prince might have tealeafed that drum sound first but Trevor Horn got his sample from the 'Emancipation' album.

J2J best song on Emancipation!
I could do without the little rap part,
but I admit, it could have been worse.
Joint 2 Joint is good shit!

This is the 1st song I heard from Emmancipation (from an old friend who worked at a radio station who SOMEHOW got a promo copy of the album weeks before the album came out...was never quite sure how he got it...since he was in sales not programming). I loved it from day one! The bass is HOT on this song! It is one of the fonkiest songs from the man...wish it was a single. Also would like to hear it LIVE!...

Cool tune.

C...toldjaz it was good

If we're ever naked in the same machine I'm gonna lick you baby joint 2 joint...

very funky tune indeed...does anyone know anything about the poet 99? did she ever have a book or anything?

Some clean licks on that gem...
