One can.
Quite easily in fact. I have a 'Tony M lite' version of the D&P album that I put together a few years ago after (I think Ernest Sewell) said he'd done something similar. It works very well. I made it into a 'special edition' type release by adding a few extra bits & pieces (extended portion from the Thunder Ballet, Get some solo, etc), and now the only Tony M on there is his few spoken words during the Gett off chorus and.. er.. Think that might be it actually.
Yeah I have the Ernest version. Pretty good actually She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

Whereas my personalised edition cuts out all those boring Prince and Rosie vocal parts, thus highlighting the awesome poetry, wit and flow of Mr Anthony Mosley .
Compiled as a double-album with Goldnigga, it is, for me, the Songs in the Key of Life of hip hop . | |

perhaps there are some similarities,but it's not nearly as powerful as "Housequake"
Prince's "rap" at the end is somewhat embarassing....."Im good 2 cream every boy and girl" Wrong song | |

Ha, no nowhere near as strong... it's the Diamonds & Pearls flavor translation of Housequake. But it really is Housequake in disguise. What if all the other songs were backtranlated to SOTT style? That rap is from Push Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. | |

oops,you're right that rap is indeed from "Push".Shows you that I haven't listened to that album in awhile,lol. | |

It's a classic and wouldn't change a note on it.. Push, daddy pop and jughead are awesome IMHO Can't belive you haven't kept live 4 love in at least! "Still Crazy 4 Coco Rock" | |

Was thinking about this thread earlier and decided to give it a whirl and try and organize it like an 80's album: 1. Gett Off 2. Cream 3. Diamonds & Pearls 4. Walk Don't Walk 5. Money Don't Matter 2Night 6. Willing & Able 7. Strollin' 8. Insatiable | |

1. Thunder 2. Live 4 Love 3. Cream 4. Do your dance 5. Money Don't Matter 2Night 6. Gett Off 7. Gangster Glam 8. Clockin the Jizz 9. Violet the Organ Grinder
This is how my album looks (as Ive configured on my iPod).
I eliminated the boring ballads (whats the point of them?) and the interesting jazzy" sougs (walk dont walk - yawn), and filled it with funk. Obvuiosly push and jughead are nowhere to be seen and I never want to hear those songs ever again in my life.
I changed the order round, lets open with 2 explosive songs thunder/L4L (yes despite the boring Tony M rap). Cream and Do your dance are great together,
mdmt in the middle for some balance.
then the funk fest that is getoff/GG/CTJ and the opus at the end - Violet the organ grinder with the amazing claire fisher arrangement at the end of the album.
perfect for me.very listenable, no tracks to skip.
