Wheras Kiss and SOTT succeed to be incredible minimalistic funk workouts, The Future comes a cross as a lousy wannabe copy of its ingenious predecessors.

looks like that was a feel he was trying for, the Future & the Line have that feel

Darlin Nikki is the Freezer Burn Ice Cold, followed by Computer Blue...

.

And I'm talking about the 'uncut' version

I can listen to that every day

.

The Future to me is a cool night time ride.

I think Darlin Nikki is muggy, humid sweaty funk. The Future is ice cold funk.

The Future is brilliant, as is the remix done by William Orbit and Mark Moore.

I don't think either of them really qualify as funk.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I was thinking the same thing.

There's one thing I've learned about visiting here, people define "funk" differently than I ever have. I never would classify "The Future" as funk, but I would say "Electric Chair" could be defined as funky. So, I guess it depends on a person's definition.

I love The Future. Very cold ass funk...but Darling Nikki is downright nasty so I think DN is the "winner" of this one.

Darling Nikki leans towards blues if anything. The Future nods in the direction of house with it's insistent 4 to the floor beat.
The Future is a decent enough tune. The drum beat is cool and it has nice atmosphere.
Darling Nikki pisses all over it though. It's nasty, kinky and makes you feel the need to take a shower after listening to it. Prince at his idiosyncratic best. Before he played by the rules!
don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed....

And neither track is "funk", but both are "funky" in their own special way...

I don't think either song is a "funk" jam but both songs are most definitely funky.




In regards to if The Future is a good song or not... Hell the f yeah its a good song(IMO).




From jump street i thought The future was creative in both music and lyrics and was catchy as heck. Prince was most definitely on some futuristic shit when he came up with them lyrics and them synthesiser parts on that jam. That song had a simple yet profound message and i think its a fairly underrated Prince song.

Rest in Peace Bettie Boo. See u soon.

Why are you so often moody and sort of aggressive in your replying?

You seem to have a "know it all better" attitude, which is not particularly coming across as very friendly...

Are you saying "white people" can't discuss funk? What's next to make you cringe? Black people discussing rock?
And weren't you the one that brought up funk in the first place?
You don't like anybody disagreeing with you do you?
I await you calling me a whiney bitch, capitalised of course.

The Future by far, one of the best of his post L;ovesexy recordings, its cold and even quite morose and the type of Prince apocalypse song we have all grown to love.

Darling Nikki is just a steamy encounter with a oversexed woman, its alright, but apart from a great scream its very average and by far the weakest track on Purple Rain.

So its the future by the long shot, funny how its one of the best songs (Electric Chair and Scandalous may be a bit better) on a bad album, whereas Darlin Nikki is the worst song on one of his very best albums. However if Darling Nikki was on NewPowersoul it would lift that thing up

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name
