No , it's not in the slightest

It's a pathetic attempt at wanting to come off as hip to the youngsters ; the autotune

with the latest flavour of the month , lifeless , bland r&B drivel

just like Mr. goodnight was

The only throwaway song on a great album , imo

It's a good song… but the autotune totally ruins it for me. Prince doesn't need to autotune his voice

I seriously hate the whole 3121 album..

I only like the title track when played live, and also Black Sweat....

the rest, >> puke....

And I still say that it is annoying. I never cared for "Incense and Candles" and "Love." For me they completely derail the momentum that the first four songs built up.

I do rather like the acoustic version of "Love" but it is quite different than the album version.

Black Sweat is the cocky jam in the club, I&C is the sex during that same night, and Love the relationship gone wrong which should have been just a one night stand

perfect trilogy

I feel sad for myself that I am unable to see the world through your eyes.

I just hear a good song ("Blacl Sweat") and two not so good songs ("Incense and Candles" and "Love").

It's a GREAT song but far from being the 'When 2 R In Love' of the 00's. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Haha

I do remember playing this song in repeat for the longest! It has an addictive beat, and a sexy groove. His rap is not bad here either, BUT...It is weak compared to many of the other songs he released in the '00's' SUCH AS:

FUTURE BABY MAMA (YEP! I SURE NUFF SAID IT! This is the JAM!)

MELLOW (It took me a while to realize, but I dig this!

"Learn the rhythm & play, the only note you want me to...I'm a good learner, but once I understand, I'll stand under you, and let you show me, how you want your man to be. If you desire, I'll shed my attire, ANYTHING..to get you WET! SHOWER MY FLOWER..SO much to do, and little time, find me in the mellow of my mind" (I MEAN SERIOUSLY? STUDY that lyric! It's just GENIUS! Haha

ONCE AND FOR ALL...

WHEN EYE LAY MY HANDS ON U (How can we forget this sexy track..I mean it generally murders Incense and Candles.

There! Now those are some songs that really show his skill in the 00's!

I agree with this post, 'cept the begining. I&C. is only a good enough jam.

I like both versions of "The Dance" but the 3121 version gets the edge due to the screams at the end. Anytime he screams it is a good thing.

The purple fake drama on this one is a joke. Totally overproduced. The NPGMC version would get my vote, if I had to choose. It's the honest one.

I guess U never been in love where someone made U scream like that b4. Poor u
