Black Sweat Appreciation

Definitely one of his best offerings of the 2000's IMO.

Perhaps the best song of its kind (quirky and funky, not sounding like anything else of the time) since "Kiss". I thought for sure it would have been a smash hit for him. I guess it did OK.


Oh yeah, I found this while flipping through some of my old smut mags.

If Prince could sue the past, do you think he would? biggrin

I like it. The initial beat has the potential to become a little piercing at times, but for the most part it doesn't bother me. All in all I like the song.

It's a good and eccentric song and I remember that it reached second place on the Canadian Singles Chart.

It was a good single, good song for the general public. I remember that they played the song a lot on MTV here in Holland. He should release a a good single like this with a cool video next time he release an album, he deserve a (little) hit. lol

From this thread I learned that there's a video for this song. (This is fun- learning lots of things).

Now I've watched it.

That dancer is SOOO amazing to look at - I wished the song would go on longer just because of her. The video could be just her dancing.

The song is pretty good. It fits nicely in one of my favorite Prince albums (3121).

The video is so dreadfully boring, I don't even know where to start.

I think the synth melody is way to high in the mix and actually hurts the ears. And it needs more crazy synth stuff and bass at the end, other than that thumbs up!

Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right?

I don't mind this song, but I wouldn't be praising it as highly as most of you are. I prefer the live version to the album version, and even then it's not my favourite song from 3121. I think the idea is good enough (a return to that minimalist sound) and I love the title, but I feel that this song could have had the potential to be better than it is.

It was one of his bset of the decade, really sexy and funky, like claiming back the Neptunes sound, reminding them who came first and striking again lol the video was hot and that look he gave was priceless
