I really reminds me of Girls and Boys. that had a French person rapping on it too. Means P must be back to his best.

Well, can't say much about the new song from that snippet. But I'm travelling to France tomorrow; at least I know what the weather forecast is!

I'm not buying anything that means I have to buy the same 10 songs from 20Ten again, just to get some new songs.

I thought 20Ten was given away for free with the paper? was the paper that expensive?

Great news!

Lyrically he borrowed from the piano set on the ONA...Live! album - "money won't buy you happiness, but it'll pay for the search."

I like the snipped. Sounds fresh and polished, but still retro - just like the stuff on 20Ten, and I like that.

now I gotta start searching again I already have 20Ten and that's all I'm buying

Didn't I tell you motherfuckers? LOL at the people that didn't believe me that there was a "20TEN Deluxe" coming out.

Guess you can eat crow!

I said the same thing. This new cut is a masterpiece!

You're a mindless sycophant.

For those of you that don't want to skip through the original file to hear the Prince part, the clip of just the song, is on my blog:

Thank U Militant.

"it cant buy happiness but it can pay for the search" - where have i heard this before?

"who needs money when you've got rich friends" - i dont understand what this means?

would be great to hear these lyrics in context...

The xnippet of song is on Dr.Funkenberry's site now;a much, better version, as the Frenchmen's voices have been omitted while the snippet of the song plays.

New Prince Song Snippet!~ “Rich Friends” Listen Now

http://www.drfunkenberry.com

Prince gave a French radio station a sample of a new song entitled “Rich Friends” and said it would be from 20Ten Deluxe edition. 20Ten was previously available in newspapers where he was touring earlier this year.

No word if this edition of 20Ten will make it’s way to the US or not.

For now, enjoy listening to what we have of the track below and thanks to a French Prince fan site for the heads up n hooking us up.

(go to www.drfunkenberry.com to listen)

What do you think? It’s only 20 seconds so hopefully no one is saying it’s “Purple Rain” part deux.-Dr.FB

"line edit"

Thirteen minutes of news and politics in French before we get to a tantalizing clip of music that sounds great on the surface but--darn your hide, Prince--why do you have to be so frustrating and mysterious! C'mon, now! Don't cancel tours and do what you say you're gonna do! Got me trying to remember my high school French to interpret the clip--and, yes, Americans are way behind--so when are you gonna give the home team in Minnie another concert?! Quit teasing and start delivering--if you're gonna tour!

Ne le taquinez pas mais donnez aux personnes!

This should be released on 10.10.10 as that's binary code for "funk".

really???

Malformed binary. Your binary code is must be divisible by 8.

It is a metaphor. It means: who needs good songs, when fams eat up crap like this?

oh. well i havent heard all of it so i'll reserve judgment until then but i've never perceived any of prince's music as 'crap'.

if what ur really saying is you dont like it then i guess thats fair enough.

cant wait to hear the full lyrics though. he seems to be mentioning money a lot lately

Come on, let's face: 90% of his music post-Emancipation has been crap. Thank god for other music and artists!

Anyway, what he means is: if you have rich friends you can live on their pocketbook, so maybe there will be a lot of name checking in the song ("Why don't u get a job, Bria?!")

Wake me when we get some real info on the re-release, that snippet isn't lighting any fires
