ZAPP - It doesn't really matter: "Now we got the Minneapolis connection - Thank you Prince cuz you sound so good to me"

"and gimme what I need while we listen to PRINCE" - P. Diddy on Notorious B.I.G Nasty Girl

"I thought shawty liked Mike, found out she liked Prince!" Jay-Z's Venus vs. Mars

"Like Prince said you're a sexy motha.." Salt N Pepa's Shoop

"There'll Be Some Changes Made" - Chet Atkins

I'm gonna wear dark glasses. Maybe a toupe.

Get down and boogie and become riske.

I'll start wearing makeup like Jackson and Prince.

You'll see me riding in a Mercedes Benz.

Awolation...Knights Of Shame

Let's hit the dance floor
Right before we out of time
And just party like it's 1999
You know what Prince said
Girl, you my princess

Eminem Guess Whos Back

I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol

"Rock The Bells" -LL Cool J

Cause it ain't the glory days with Bruce Springsteen
I'm not a virgin so I know I'll make Madonna scream
You hated Michael and Prince all the way, ever sense
If their beats were made of meat, then they would have to be mince
Rock the bells

..And America's "Ventura Highway" mentions the phrase "Purple Rain" 11 or 12 years before Prince did...if that counts?

Freak Momma by Sir Mix-A-Lot & Mudhoney from the Judgement Night soundtrack, 1993.

Bloodhound Gang - "The Bad Touch":

"Sweat baby, sweat baby
Sex is a Texas drought
Me and you do the kind of stuff
That only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants
And I bet you'll feel nuts..."

Yes, but I did not post the video- THANKS for doing that!

I think this song is hilarious.

I think it's great that musicians give Prince credit for his enormous influence in their music - while he is still alive.

I don't know Prince any better then the next foolish fan, but I always get the feeling that he doesn't FEEL the appretiation. Music is his method of communicating with others, maybe it's the best way to communicate with him.

LL Cool J: Rock The Bells

Bobby Ninn: Groupie
