s'alright innit.

i've always liked it. it's got a bit of sexual swagger about it. 6/10

Love it, a great 2nd intro to Emancipation and apparently first song recorded for it.

Love the postman rap!

Can't stand this one at all.

I like it. It has one of the few raps in a Prince song that works.

Fell in love with it when I first heard it. The vocal layering is hip. One of my favorites from the first disk & its a "MasterPiece"....

How could somebody with a name like funkomatic not like that bass line.

My name is emancipation and I'm not a huge fan of this song either...=D

It's okay but not one of my favorites on the Emancipation album. There were a lot of gems on that 3 disc set, but this song wasn't one of them, IMO.

seemed kinda fillerish when i first heard it but the bassline really sticks once u get into it. i still find it kind of fillerish but i like it.

Too simple to get excited about it

Agree, the rap is the best part of the song. Which says it all, if you know what I mean...

Know what...I dont voluntarily play this one often.....but when it comes on a shuffle there is absolutely NO WAY Im turning it off!

Cuz thats my only mission

I love the effects he used on his vocals.

Yeah, it's the type of a track you always sort of forget about, but when you put on CD1 of Emancipation you'll remember how enjoyable it is.

Well, I'd hardly consider any of the first six songs on the first disc classics, but there's something about that six song progression that clicks really well with me (yes, even Betcha By...).

would have been a huge hit.

If EMI wouldn't have folded soon after its release Prince definitely would have had some hits from this "MasterPiece" of a project. I'm sure out of all his releases this one had to be a bit disappointing to him. Since he put so much time & effort into planning it.But sometimes in life things don't go as planned & the lost of Boy Gregory played a major play in it as well.

This song would've made a decent single... I really love this song, I pretty much always blast it when I'm driving

This song is a perfect example of what's wrong with this album.

It sounds good at first, solid groove - then nothing happens of much variety or inspiration, and then it ends.

At the same time overproduced and unfinished. Too much energy into the studio and too little into the songwriting.

Nice energy and great vocal delivery. But the lack of interesting melody and repetitiveness makes it not memorable and not a favorite.

It's like pp4 says -- I like the song when it comes on. But otherwise, it's hard for me to even remember how the tune goes.

It;s one of my favorites.

Reminds me of Londonboy. When I missed him, I listened to this song.

have you??? have you ever done any vocal layering in the studio? if not YOU have no idea what you're talking about! you have no opinions other than everything prince has ever done being a "masterpiece", but you never qualify why it's a masterpiece. you know fuck all about music!
