It's not a direct prince mention, but Beyonce's "Bonnie & Clyde" recites "If i was your girlfriend" sometime during the song...

"Like Prince jeans, I bring the ass out a nigga" - Jay-Z
Lol@how gay that line sounds when you think about it.
Common also mentions him a few times on his debut album, something along the lines of "I get off like prince etc"
You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam! | |

As High As Wu Tang Get does not mention Prince. It's Prints on the strings of his guitar. Prints not Prince. | |

Respect to BruthaMoorice, but what GZA says is actually:
"A fugitive bass playing Rap Czar, smoked a cigar, AS Prince on the strings of his guitar"
GZA's rap on that song is about rappers and wannabe rappers, so it's kinda cool that he acknowledges how Prince "smokes" the guitar whenever he touches it.
My favorite line comes from Phonte of Little Brother. It can be found on the Foreign Exchange song Nic's Groove:
Uh, uh, yo Nah it ain't about me, I'm just an average cat That go to work, freestyle and kick battle raps And damage any nigga fucking with my habitat Me and Pooh connect like He-Man and Battle Cat at Local spots where the chicken heads babble at Claiming they independent like Landspeed or Miramax Pause if you feeling that Cause. I. am. still in fact On some Purple Rain shit, Jerome where my mirror at?

Uh, yeah.
I forgot about that Common one. He also kinda mentions him on One DAy It'll Make Sense, on "All Night Long"; "... the artist formerly known as Sense...". Punk ass Cannibus also drops "... the artist formerly known as witcha gay ass" on "Making A Name For Ourselveas".
Thanks! | |

Thanks TVD, but I think this is more of a general prince reference than a name drop of P. Plus she's a singer. Thanks again, though. | |
