I like Gangster Glam. Ain't kiddin'

Yes, I do. I won't try to explain. I'll just wait for you orgers to punish me...

At least recognise that Diamonds And Pearls would have improved with Gangster Glam instead of Jughead in it!

PS.: I've read in princevault.com that the song is arranged by Clare Fischer. That's a surprise to me.

The worst track is Strollin... replace that!

Gangster Glam isn't that bad as they say. I think that's the best song with Tony M rap, not including Get Off and Sexy MF.

So evil girl, if one of us has a date,
With the undertaker, which one will it be?

I would switch out Jughead for Violet The Organ Grinder. Gangster Glam was banger I like the way the 3 of them (Prince, Rosie & Tony M.) worked their vocals on it.

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

I agree with Violet the Organ Grinder replacing Jughead and Gangsta Glam was one I always enjoyed especially in the video with P on roller skates.

As far as Strollin...love that joint
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

All of it. Everything. Is U.

I'm with you -- I like this and clockin' the jizz. I"ll admit it. There's some unreleased versions of both songs circulating that are even better- and should've been released w/ the maxi-single. The video gives the songs a bad wrap. It's a funky groove!

Anyone could have made Strollin... Kenny G could have made strollin. It's a generic embarassment!

Jughead is at least the same pattern as Housequake, with Diamond and Pearl style arrangment. If you take off the vocals to Jughead, the music is still decent Prince (it's actually Housequake's broad pattern). But if you take off the vocals of Strollin, you still have nothing interesting! razz

Aren't Gangster Glam And Clocking The Jizz just remixes of sorts (of Gett Off)? confused

[Edited 7/15/11 3:05am]

Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

Yes: of sorts.

But Tony and Levi bring their a game, and transform the remixes to Goldnigga-worthy material
