Whats the coldest Old School Hip Hop song Prince should cover?

Imagine Prince covering Tupac's Temptations even if he had to change some lyrics to do a pg version! lol lol He's always covering some Rock & other R&B stuff, I like to see that him cover something old or new school hip hop. What some other tunes, he could do? Temptations would be Hilarious watching Prince do...biggrin

Eric B. and Rakim: Follow The Leader. This one always reminds me of Prince.

.

Follow me into a solo
Get in the flow - and you can picture like a photo
Music mixed mellow maintains to make
Melodies for MC's motivates the breaks
I'm everlastin, I can go on for days and days
With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays
I can take a phrase that's rarely heard, FLIP IT
Now it's a daily word
I can get iller than 'Nam, a killin bomb
But no alarm - Rakim will remain calm
Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme
But for a microphone still I fiend
This was a tape I wasn't supposed to break
I was supposed to wait, but let's motivate
I want to see who can keep followin and swallowin
Takin the making, bitin it and borrowin
Brothers tried and others died to get the formula
But I'ma let ya sweat - you still ain't warm
You a step away from frozen, stiff as if ya posin
Dig into my brain as the rhyme gets chosen
So follow me and were ya thinkin' you were first?
Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the Universe
What could ya say as the Earth gets further and further away
Planets are small as balls of clay
Astray into the Milky Way - world's outasight
Far as the eye can see - not even a satellite
Now stop and turn around and look
As ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took!
So keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star
You better follow it cause it's the R
This is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin
Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin
The Leader

That's a good one, got that album after I heard this song on MTV (with the video). Same era as Batdance.

Rappers Delight.
Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

No more covers. He's ignored tons of his own much better songs that deserve to be played live.

If we could go back in time, I wouldn't mind 94-95 Prince clipping and sampling PE's Prophets Of Rage.

tonight the stars are out
there's music in the air
the sounds of joy and celebration
are drowning out despair

None of the above - anything but hip-hop

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.
