Ppl I think we should ignore those threads from now on. Unless Mr. Chronic posts some of his own MP3's on his site, so that we can hear his skills...

U lack depth & ear !

i know 3 chords when i hear them sir



ok, well then you would know that ICNTTPOYM's main groove is:: c major, g major, f major... (three chords)

and the part leading up to the chorus is:: f major f minor, e minor, d major (or d major 7), d minor, g major...

so let's see here... that makes SEVEN chords total in the song--NOT THREE. smile

but as a "good" musician, you must know that already huh? lol

Starfish and coffee is quite similar to songs like Yellow Submarine and Lucy in the sky with Diamonds. They are classics and very written little songs. Prince is no Bob Dylan, that's for sure, but IMO he is an excellent song writer. He can write very serious, profound songs and very simple songs. A great song writer has the skill to go from simplistic to profound on the same cd.

And yes I agree, Chronic must really be Rick James.

Prince could play boing on one string and it'd be funky...wrote a song about it...wanna hear it?...here how it go!

The objective of good songwriting is not to try to pack it with every chord known to man, with 99 key changes, but to creatively, interestingly and simply get across and deliver a musical and lyrical idea. I think Prince does that.


Release It!

thechronic said:

why do some people here proclaim prince to be a great songwriter when he is not?

he is no stevie wonder I tell you

most of all his songs use 3 fucking chords-kiss,i could never take the placeETC...

some like the cross is only TWO FUCKING CHORDS...YEAH RIGHT...GENIUS TO YALL...BUT NOT TO AN EDUCATED MUSICIAN LIKE ME


AND he writes some to the dumbest fucking lyrics known to mankind example:
STARFISH AND COFFEE MAPLE SYRUP AND JAM ETC...


WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?


GENIUS MY ASS

WHAT DO YOU THINK?


what do I think?...

well, for starters, i think that you must think somewhat of the same thing since you are here, at a Prince forum.
I also think that you have no real idea about what it is you are speaking of. Many of my friends are in bands and talk about how hard it is to cover a Prince song because they are rather complicated...but, really, all that aside, i think it is just you who is not the genius.
maybe you need to stop smokin' that chronic and you would see a little mo' betta!

what do you think about that

please don't bore me. i went to Berklee College of Music and let me tell you something: educated musicians are BORING AND FULL OF SHIT!.

two chords is is legitimate and all one needs to create an emotion if they can. hell one chord is enuff. what about ppl like Brian Eno who can't play a single note and he has created and produced some of the most beautiful ever.

please don't bore us.
