Possibly Daddy Pop. But ur way off. U'll get that line in a lot of rap tracks and go back to JB and funkadelic/parliament - its even there. Right. I'm off to turn the mutha out.

Exactly.

In fact, in the MC Hammer song, it's a sample from "Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)" from Parliament.

on the other hand didn't MC Hammer "steal" from Prince's When Doves Cry.

the song Pray contains a well known sample.. right?

How ignorant. The answer is FALSE.

Back away from the keyboard, old dirty feet.

Right out of this thread.

Dr. Funkenstein prescribes a weekend of getting to know P-Funk to Sir Nose Spanky.

He didn't steal it - he paid for it

What the fuck r we on the org for? Interesting, inciteful tidbits on Prince's music? What's more interesting than pointing out that P bit MC Hammer probably because he thought he wasn't hip and wanted to latch onto what the kids were into at the moment. I think that a genius chasing trends is very interesting. So there, dannyd. My dirty feet are gonna keep bringing it all day and if u don't like it lick it bitch. And what's Sir Nose Spanky about, Nouveau?

You stinky footed fool. Prince did not "bite" MC Hammer. "Turn this mutha out" is not exclusive to MC Hammer as everyone is trying to tell your dumb ass.

omg

Is it ust me or has the org been absolutely hilarious this week?

U have to remember that Prince wrote and provided the backing music for M.C Hammer's Pray (pretty much taken from When Doves Cry)...proving people use lyrics is not easy, how many songs contain similar love related lyrics....

U may also want to consider that MC Hammer sampled Rick James to create the main melody in U can't Touch This....

I always thought that was Hammer until i heard the original (it seems Rick James is not well known outside the US for reasons i don't know)

Lack of credible or extensive evidence...Case dismissed!

I'm not sure what you're saying?

Its already been established in the thread that MC Hammer SAMPLED When Doves Cry, so everyone seems to remember that already. (I highlighted sampled, because that's not the same as "Prince wrote and provided the backing music for Pray". Prince wrote and recorded When Doves Cry, Hammer sampled (and paid) for it.

Yes, Hammer also sampled Rick James. Anyone who knows their funk also knows this.

So, what is the "lack of credible...evidence" about?

^ Read the thread title....no evidence that P used an MC Hammer Lyric....

Right, I see. Sorry, but your post was a little hard to follow.

Hey Spanky did you check out any P-Funk?

I was so pissed when I heard that song "Pray".I was shocked that Prince allowed him to use that sample."When Doves Cry" is one of those amazing songs that should NEVER be sampled or mis-used that way it's bad enough what Hammer did to Rick James' "SuperFreak".

Not yet. What would be a good 3 song sampler that can whet my funk appetite?

Parliament - Flashlight

Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove

George Clinton - Atomic Dog

That's like saying Kiss, Purple Rain and 1999 - but you get the idea, start off nice and easy!
