Wow, I got stickied. lol. I feel special today. I got sticked last night too, but that's another story!

I think the song is so-so. Not great, not horrible. Pretty much like a lot of stuff he's been putting out since 2003 or so. Which is still tons better than 1997 to 2003!

your always special manci!

I like the funk flavor of the song!

It lacks just a tad bit of energy IMO for some reason. Maybe if it had a little more lead guitar or got rid of that carnival-sounding merry-go-round instrument.

(What is that? Some sort of organ? No like-y.)

Overall...I'm happy to have heard it.

Thanks for the link!

This is boring and horrible. Lavaux is 1000x better than this. This man is maddening to follow.

I feel your frustration. His recorded output has become so uninspired, cheesy and flat. You simply wouldn't want someone to overhear you listening to it.

Live he still brings it, but i think we have to accept that his days of making a good pop song are over.

"YEAH!!!"

"Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!"

It's a bit flacid :s

the song is ok, but at this point, like with many of his recent releases,

i find myself thinking:

who needs 'rich friends' when u could have 'moonbeam levels' ??

I agree. It's a real shame but I guess I'm just too particular and hard to please.

So why do you listen to it. Is your life so miserable that you can´t find anything else to do ?

I think Dallas Frazier has a viable lawsuit on his hands. All I hear when I listen to this song is: Alley Oop, Oop... Oop, Oop, Oop.

Has Prince been listening to the The Hollywood Argyles lately?

it's great to always hear a new prince's track, however i found this track to be simple and lyrics about $$

the 20 second snippet didn't do me justice so after listening to the full song i kinda like it but its not something i would want to press replay on

Is it me, or has Prince finally figured out how to slow down piracy and make you anticipate a new album? The site must be being hit pretty hard, I'm having to hear it in bits and pieces.


Crystal clear on Youtube!

I pretty much disagree with most of your assessments on Prince and i dug the snippet. Pretty sure i am.

As far as i can tell he hates everything.

a gust of southern wind came and took my girl away from me

instead of putting out good songs from my vault i hit y'all with some turd tracks as my new release

but i know some of my fans will dig it and that's really cool

but 2 my hardcore fans that know my muse i'm sorry i tried to fool

i wonder if i put out something funky

i wonder if i'll ever turn it all around

i wonder if i'll ever get rid of the linn

i wonder if blackwell micheal b are in town

i wonder ..will i kick it like the endorphinmachine

i wonder if dr funkberry will ever admit 2 being my lackie

i wonder .....

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

I get more and more disgusted each time. This song is HORRIBLE!!!

He needs to just stop making new music. He has enough past material to tour with.

ouch.

this whole money thing is becoming a bit of a theme, no? $, Act of God, When Will We Be Paid, Lavaux, the internet is dead, and now Rich Friends.

The songs seem to either be "i'm enlightened, why aren't you?", or "gosh! having money is complicated/fun/bad/who needs it?/don't touch it!"

and this has been said before, but the gulf between his live sound - from what i heard of the 2010 tour, le new morning, and even montreaux shows - and what he puts on record is just vast. Energy vs. flat lines, fun vs. pious, and organic vs. linn drum lite. How is this the same person?

ouch.
