You can tell he's truly happy on it. Does that make you happy?

eh?

I love this album. Such diversity.

i see wot u mean. ddnt they say it was the album he was born 2 make? but i tink cozza freedom from WB he cud do wot he wanted even tho sum of it sounded like crap there is a load of unecassary stuff. courtin time among others. if it was 2 discs i tink it wud hav bin betta. i dnt make me feel happy tho. well until the second disc...

Courtin' Time is a great little tune.

Cloudbuster said:

I completely agree.

No...Exodus is the most playful...this one does feel "happy" though.

teller said:

Exodus, eh? Now there's an album I haven't played for a long while!

True. Exodus i very playful and damn brilliant. those were tha days

...i threw the mashed potatos on her, I kid u not...

Think about it..Exodus is a loada laughs.

And who could forget New Power Day
still cracks me up!

And don't tell me Exodus isn't a Prince album...if Graffit Bridge is, Exodus is.

but emancipation is nice too

MashedPotatoKid said:

Oh yeah right, forgot about that! :LOL:

teller said:

Exodus does not feel truly happy or playful to me. On the contrary, very bitter and angry. How does that make you feel?

Anji, get Boris to make you a copy of the 'Emancipation' era CD of unreleased songs I'll be sending him next week!

.

it's a loada laughs with a parental advisory stika on it

Anji said:

It makes me feel angry!

I always thought that Prince sounded very much in love when listening to Emancipation

Sorry Anji but Lovesexy always felt happy and bursting with energy to me

Much love Pochacco

Anji said:

Yes. You can easily sense it's the work of a man in love with his wife, anticipating the joy of fathership, this is particularly true on the second cd... Thinking of it makes me feel rather sad sometimes

Anji said:

lets all hope he's never happy again then, cause I couldn't face life if I thought I would have to endure anything like Emancipation again. So No, it doesn't make me happy...

what are the chances of prince ever sayin nigga, fuck, bitch or anythin similar on a song again?

It was sunday night, instead of doing what I usually do I...

I'm just wondering about the relevance of that little gem of articulation. Any chance you could explain you marvellous repertoire of linguistic acheivement?
Or was you just aching to type those lovely words???

giotto said:

Ok! If G and Boris are listening to this, it must be good...

dewmass said:Or was you just aching to type those lovely words???
hadn't said or typed em 4 a while
i jus think his music has suffered without it.prince kinda made himself kwown cozza his 'dirty mind'.
but since TRC the music is betta

Pochacco said:

That's true, Pochacco, but I also felt a degree of desperation on Lovesexy. There's no question about it having an uplifting vibe but I also sense there's something not quite right in the way it was conceived. Elements of The Black Album feature prominently on it, for example. There is both darkness and light, and these are precisely the reasons I overrate the record.

Anji said:

Consider it 'In the pipeline'

If you wanna we can kick it baby, joint 2 joint

teller said:

Telly, if Sonny's vocals were replaced with Prince's then you might have a case. Graffiti Bridge, on the other hand, is a Prince album that additionally integrates his brand of artists to the whole Graffiti vibe.

i think prince used the exodus album a bit like lil red corvette. he used the group as a whole rather than him doin everythin and them jus playin the tune

Emancipation has a very interesting format.

I read a review in a UK newspaper at the time of its release, that described CD I as the funk/soul album you'd expect from Prince; CD II as the candle burning, beautiful dedication to his relationship with Mayte and CD III as a brief exploration into new sounds.

It also said that the first three songs on CD I compared to the best three openers from any album. I remember being really psyched when I read that.

I'm not convinced the 60 minute format was wise.
