Prince's work with George Clinton Love them both. Could you tell me about more songs they recorded together? Or any live shows? Or Clinton's songs that P. covered? I really dig We Can Funk, oh and Clinton's cover of Erotic City is cool too, although I prefer the original version. So evil girl, if one of us has a date,
With the undertaker, which one will it be? | |

We Can Funk is absolutely in my Top 5 favorite Prince songs of all time. Absolutely.
I'm not sure what exactly George's role in the creation of the song is, though, other that a few lines. Can anyone elaborate? | |

I'm not sure he had much involvement apart from contributing vocals.

I can't stand the released version, although the 1986 version is one of my favourite out-takes.

Paradigm, one of my least favourite P tracks ever. Had forgotton it existed. Might just have to drag it out now to make sure... RIP | |

Paradigm is incredible!
Like a modern Scarlet Pussy. Another one proving he could do it like before if he really wanted to. This Post is produced, arranged, composed and performed by WetDream | |

I'm not too keen on the additions Clinton added to "We Can Funk". I like all the Prince parts that were there before the trading back and forth happened.
I really really love their collaboration on the bootleg song "Soul Psychodelicide" the version that begins with Clinton's voice talking about "This is a fuzztone reality All the high-tech Muzac in the world Can't distort the flashback..." My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

Soul Psychodelicide is ace, everything else is m'eh. Paradigm is pretty dull and what's the other one - The Big Pump? More like the Big Dump. | |

A Paisley Park engineer (Chronic Freeze, I think) verified that Prince played on Get Satisfied. Funky track... Don't hate your neighbors. Hate the media that tells you to hate your neighbors. | |

The Big Pump is awesome right at the second verse when he says "Cupid's shooting his crossbow!" The bass at that exact moment is badass. | |

I know I'm gonna flamed for this but I was a little dissapointed with the collabs between George and P. As an old school P-Funk/Prince fan I really thought that they were gonna "tear the roof off". Their funk to me sounded watered down.
I liked "We Can Funk" but when I heard "The Cinderella Theory"......UGH! Major dissapointment. They probably should have hooked up in the early 80's when P was riding high with "1999" and George had his comeback with "Atomic Dog". They probably could have came up with some funk so hard, it probably would have had "Parental Advisory" stickers all over it.
I also felt the same way about P's collabs with Larry Graham..(NOT hanging with him)..but the collabs. I was expecting some old school but modern funk/soul/rock with Larry and P but it didn't happen.
Just my 2 cents. If you dig it, cool. | |

"Martial Law".. I actually like this.
the first track on "Hey Man Smell My Finger".
ps:
I always thought Prince wrote this song without taking credit for it,
I mean the sound is sooo "Princey".
actually I thought Prince wrote and produced most of those songs on that album..
and giving credits to others. Who knows the truth besides Prince..
Of course some of you don't think so, and will correct me now.. Prince 4Ever. | |

Although I also think Prince is all over "Hey Man..." (regardless of "official" or "expert" opinion), I don't hear Prince's voice, altered or not, at the end of Martial Law. I'm not sure which part you think is P. Please note the time and lyrics. Thanks. Don't hate your neighbors. Hate the media that tells you to hate your neighbors. | |

^ the "Prince scream" "whooohoooohoo" - at 3:00,
and the "Prince altered voice" singing (the 2 words) "Martial Law" 3:02 and repeating it.. in a Camille kind of voice:
well, that's how I hear it... officially Prince is not on this track..
or is he..? Prince 4Ever. | |

That's Belita Woods you hear. She has a very unique voice that sounds "Camille-ish" ( ) without any effects whatsoever.
I wouldn't be surprised if Prince plays something on the track. But, sorry, no, that's not him. Don't hate your neighbors. Hate the media that tells you to hate your neighbors. | |

^ ah okay thanks... you have just ruined something I have been thinking since 1993...
ah nevermind,
I still like the track though, "Martial Law" is cool....

I too think the funk they came up with was watered down. Most of it sounded like it was made by some Prince and George Clinton impersonators. I was expecting some Atomic Dog777-9311Corporate World, hybird shit. I do think paradigm was a major jam and i liked We can funk though. Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon. | |
