I feel the same way, regarding The Continental off the Symbol album!! Its a totally kick ass joint, untill he brings in Carmen Electra to do that hideous bullshit rap!! Ruins the whole track!!!!

Wo it's the opposite for me. The Continental seemed like horrible stupid pop with no edge or hook, worse then Roxette, but then the rap part sounded good. I like the telephone filter on the voice too. Love the music.

Hate the music on the main part of the song!

I do think the cartoon Guns n Roses style ending to "Strays of the World" is kind of silly.

Love....when it comes to the part that says "lets skate".

My mother thinks that the "FELLAS! (yeah!) How bad is this girl? (BAD!)...." portion of "Lolita" fucks it up. I have to agree with her on this one.

For example..I remember listening to Alphabet Street 4 the 1st time in summer 1988. I was really getting in2 that joint until some bullshit happened..namely :"Cat we need u 2 rap"..I was like errr no we don't

Eh, I think the rap and what follows is the best part of the song. WhenI first heard it till now.

although i like the entire song, i do find it kind of a shame that "digital garden"

starts out so freakin' good and then just goes in another direction completely.

i just want that first portion of it to go on for a few more minutes. it's such an

interesting song and quite unlike anything he did before. the second part is a

cool part too, especially the guitar in the background, but i'd have liked it a lot

more if it was separate from the song.

Funny, Cat's rap is perhaps my favorite part of that fantastic song. But NovaBrkr, I totally agree with you about the "NPG! Get Rowdy! Get Rowdy Now!" in Undisputed. Until then, I was thinking "Finally, something I can play for my friends to show them Prince's brilliance!" And then I was like, "Nope; just another song that I'll be embarrassed to play for anyone."

And IstenSzek, I agree with you about "Digital Garden." I also like the whole song, but the first portion is just....unique, and incredibly funky, and unlike anything I'ev ever heard. And then it gets...well, not as funky.

I looove everything about Alphabet Street,

Including the rap portion by Cat.

those were the days to be a Prince fan.... back when the big singles were released, like every year,

Aw, I seriously miss the good old days... back when we had good music..

Hey Thedance, you used to write great posts, these days I'm bored to death with 'em...

ok, fair enough SSF, -- it's impossible to "please" everyone at the same time.

I wonder. Was it the positive part about Alphabet St you did not like.. ?


or -- maybe the repetitative complain about "everything was better in the old days".. ?

Or maybe it was my signature.... ?

Maybe all of it.

Love 2 the 9's.

What? This songs my 2nd favorite song ever.

Its so perfect. Showcases Prince's smooth falsetto, then his deep voice. I love the band playing, great instruments. The chorus is fantastic. So good. Then the finale is catchy. The vocal work at the end is a good ending.

Dance girl, let me see that booty boom.

"The Question of you" is one of my all time favourites ... one thing that really annoys me though

is the sound at the beginning of the song, that I dig, just before the drum kicks in ... WTF ... seems completely superfluous to me and makes that part of the sing comic like which it for the rest of it ofcourse is far from.

Again, just to balanc it out i will add another NECCESSARY bullshit..

Why is that part bullshit? If it's "called for" then how can it be considererd "bullshit"?

"The Sun, The Moon and Stars" is a nice track until he ruins it with some ragamuffin "Do you like I do" bullshit.

Because sometimes life calls for us to be silly n not make sense. Sometimes we have to just get abstract, unplanned and bullshit just to clear our minds and express our hearts

Now, 'scuse me while i kiss the sky..

Mandingo said:

And whilst we are on the subject, was it really neccessary to have the Lord's prayer in the middle of the song 'Controversy'?

Just ruined the song 4 me...I mean I had just listened to some nasty azz 'Do me baby' and now you wanna make me feel guilty with some church scriptures. Prince, c'mon man.

lol

Soz

Just to add that the song Papa starts off as surreal and haunting. It captures a place in the performers psyche and childhood that tortures him and is a dark place he can never forget or forgive...but then Prince just had to go and add some bullshit.."don't abuse children or else they'll turn out like me" I mean really? REALLY muthafucka?

Breakfast Can Wait- It's a great song until that fucking chipmunk comes in and ruins everything.

We know how U feel about the old and the new stuff. No need to keep repeating it over & over again. Okay?

Ok SSF, you are right.. I actually agree with you somehow,

I have tried to leave the fan community several times but it ain't that easy.

Even though I don't like Prince's new songs from 2013 (mentioned again, sorry about that).. I have still been a fan of Prince since 1983. Damn I love the old Prince.

(I was a 100% huge Prince freak (fan) from 1999 until Emancipation was released in late 96 - then the trouble began for me),

Maybe I can't leave the org - I am still curious to know the latest about Prince, but I will try to keep my mouth shut - for some time.. for a while.

Sometimes it is better to keep silent, I agree with you on that.

How I wish Prince would finally come back with a strong album, and the original great albums re-mastered. I still pray for that.

(this was an answer to SSF, a bit off topic in the thread, sorry)...
