Chocolate Box - TO BE CONTINUED

In the Chocolate Box video Prince is an all-seeing Orwellian figure, looking over a futuristic city from a gigantic Jumbo Tron. Rapper Q-Tip is in hot pursuit of a beautiful, mysterious woman. In the video the woman appears to be like Niobe from The Matrix or some sort of secret agent who could kick Q-Tip's butt if she wanted to. The video ends w/ TO BE CONTINUED.

I think I know what this video is about but does anyone know what Prince means when he says, "I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any any girl that wanna come my way"?

IS DEM DARE FIGHTIN' WORDS? lol

I doubt we’ll ever see the continuation of this video bcuz I read Prince often doesn't finish what he starts.

I think the song and video are about a woman Prince is after but she doesn't want him bcuz he thinks his shit don't stink and everyone else is beneath him. Maybe his shit don't stink since he's supposedly a vegetarian but you know what I mean.

Does anyone think they know what the song and video are about?

...bing ain't lie.

I always thought it was in reference to his nougat-filled balls.

He probably just watched Saturday Night Live's "Schweddy Balls" skit:

I think Prince comes off a pompous ass in this song being a 50-something yrs old.

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

(Q-Tip's voice) "Where the drums"

ha ha ha ha

ha ha

ow!

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

So what's the deal? Why you frontin'? Keep it real

Do you wanna get funky with me?

If you think I got something that you want

Sugah nothin' here comes for free

I been around this way got lost and found

Let me see if you remember my name

You can try to get it but I can't let you hit it

Cause you never gonna be the same uh uhh

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

And I ain't got no time to waste

If she ain't makin bank and scared of

What a brother got to say

She want the b-o-x-a-chocolate everyday

So what's the deal are you sportin' some wheels
Or are you ridin' in a limousine?
This ain't prom night I don't wanna
Fight so you betta get your dirty clean
I hear your words going up and down your
Skirt your gonna get a chance to prove it
You best believe if you wanna get wit me
It takes a real woman to do it

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

And I ain't got no time to waste

If she ain't makin bank and scared of

What a brother got to say

She want the b-o-x-a-chocolate everyday

(Q-Tip's rap)

How could I make you mine?

If I had the sweetest kind

I could sugar rush you in my arms

You're my Love Divine

I'm your Willy Wonka Golden ticket is yours

Don't you waste not one taste from my ladle it pours

They say the sweetness you'll eat up

But the bitter is better

Taking bites from the box

You'll never know what you'll getta

But you keep trying and trying

Cause the flavors are fun

So many variations from the conscious of one (all of his minions on the internet?)

Where the drums?

So what's the deal are you gay or poppin pills?
Why you still won't take my hand?
This discotech is 'bout to make me a wreck
My feet are singing louder than the band
I see you got the feelin'
Flashin' lights up on the ceiling
Say you gotta get your weekend now
What difference does it make
You know you can't make chocolate cake
If ain't nobody ever showed you how

I got a box of chocolates that'll rock the socks of any girl that wanna come my way

And I ain't got no time to waste

If she ain't makin bank and scared of

What a brother got to say

She want the b-o-x-a-chocolate everyday

^ If Prince did cultivate fanatics like I questioned in one of my threads and has his stalker fanatics/minions on the internet "speaking" for him, i.e. creating various profiles on the org and FB trying to recruit people, this could be the "so many variations from the conscious of one" Q-Tip is rapping about. Q-Tip mentions Willy Wonka so it's obvious to me (by the way Prince sometimes dresses) that Prince asked him to rap on this song bcuz he probably didn't want to do the rap himself bcuz he knew w/ all his braggadocious talk already on the song, if he rapped it would be overkill. lol

Huh? Umanbing, d'ya think it's time to go get some fresh air? Don't take all of this stuff so seriously mate. He's got a box of chocolates as in little tricks & treats that will make a woman beg for more. He's Prince & the sexiest guy on the planet. He can say what the heck he likes just don't dissect every last meaning or you'll drive yourself wacky

No, maybe I might drive you crazy but we're alright over here. lol Thanks. I'm going to ask nicely:

ATTENTION! Prince fans, please stop trying to tell me what to do. And you "SometimesIwonder" who is probably sitting around all day wondering about Prince...lmao..you just joined this site so Fall back while we continue to dissect, if we so please. lol

[Edit] I had to call this to attention bcuz I don't like some of the orgnotes I've received from fanatics who feel the need to tell me what to do. Stop stalking me. You know who you are.

This was the most creative/entertaining opinion I found below. I was just glad to see a Prince video.

Lotus2unfld said: The girl in the video could be a representation of a girl running around online looking for Prince. She's tough - i.e. she's got talents of her own, but she's not using them. The guy chasing her could also represent someone online - he may think she's someone on the rise - he see's she's got some creative skills and after all it is cyber space - high tech and she is mysterious.

He might even think she's Prince online incognito. Meanwhile back at the ranch, Prince knows who he is online and he's just kicked back watching the scene play out...watching these two go round and round ... didn't anyone notice the round house kicks she threw at Q-tip? Notice the flash of flourescent color in those kicks? the poetic prose as it were.... possibly?

Anyway, she just needs to get it in gear and start utitlizing her own creative talents professionaly ... i.e.get a JOB and stop wasting her time on these bone heads online chasing her around and vexing her spirits. She's allowing silliness and the haters to keep her vexed, tied up and keep her mired in the mirey clay. The video is dark... the mood is dark... the clothing is dark. Only flashes of translucenent color here and there from her. Anyone notice that? Let the lotus rise ...so to speak. be all she can be. be all she's supposed to be creatively speaking. then the darkness will turn to light, the desert will turn to a garden... the sky will be bright and she might find herself change from dark somber to vivid translucent color... like the jellyfish....shining her own light.

Prince is in the Goodyear...floating in the sky...in the light. After reading all of your posts pondering the meaning of the video ....this is what occurs to me... did anyone notice Prince's head on the site... as the lotus? I'm sure you all have. The lotus is open... fully unfolded and extended. It means something. It means a lot ... about life. to me, the video makes perfect sense. It makes a lot of sense. I could be wrong. But I don't think so. The entire theme of the LotusFlow = LotusFlower = chocolate box video ... the entire site could be a call to let the Lotus Arise in us all and bloom out in full. Its pretty deep ... when ya think of it that way.

I said the girl in the video looked like she could kick Q-Tips butt if she wanted.

Lotus2unfld is no longer active (under that name anyway) and this person seems off their rocker. I see how you would find this person's opinion entertaining. They posted along w/ mzkqueen03 and Tame. All appear to be Prince worshippers. I read a few opinions of this person you mentioned and I wasn't entertained by all the fanaticism. Squirrelgrease was entertaining.

Is this Lotus2unfld's opinion or yours that the girl in the video needs to start utilizing her own creative talents professionally?

You've presented the most thoughtful opinion on this video but it doesn't make sense that the guy is chasing her bcuz he's concerned w/ how she's using her talents? lol It's more realistic to think the guy chasing her thinks she can get him closer to Prince so he goes round and round chasing his dream of meeting "The Paisley Messiah" (title courtesy of Squirrelgrease).

What site?
