I haven't been 'street' for a really long time now (ever). Someone care to explain what it means when a party goes HAM?
Thanks.

Note how he's back to predictable party crap now he's had all the promo he could wrangle from Baltimore.
What is the most recent song that Prince has released that you like?

It is really bland.
Can somebody educate me, cause I'm coming off of caffeine right now, and can't really think straight. how do we know that this is part of a summer release of new music? I'm confused. I can't see where this indicates anything is coming this summer. It might as well be the same thing as "2013 is going to be huge!", but even that at least was explicitly stated by the Prince camp. I can't see anything that says we're getting new music this summer.
Besides, AOA and PE were just released last fall.
In the video it shows "NEWFUNK BY PRINCE THIS SUMMER". TRUE BLUE |

Ham stands for: hard as a motherf**ker. Therefore, this word is easily defined as "going hard as a motherf**ker". Every other definition I've seen on this website is definitely not right.
John: You know what I'm gonna do tonight?
Class: No, what??
John: I'm goin ham.
Jenny: What's going ham mean?
John: Ham means "hard as a motherf**ker". So goin ham means I'm gonna go hard as a motherf**ker.
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. |

It's been a long time since he penned any lyrics that aren't somewhat cringeworthy. The best I can hope for is that they're not as stupid as, say, Baltimore. I'll take generic party boasting over Baltimore any day. Yeah, real clash of the Titans, right? I like the deep, organic funk sound of these snippets. It's better than The X's Face. No chimp sounds at least. But possibly an explosion. I'll take explosions over chimps any day. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

there is still time, there could be chimps, death lazers, duck voices and ticking clocks all over it! The explosion goes without saying, so does everything slowing down to a halt. Comin str8 outta Preston... |

Dude's pushin' 60! Let him be 4 years late with HAM. He probably thinks it means Hard As Moses.
It's like when I saw Patti Labelle live circa 2000, and she started doing the Bankhead Bounce during When You Talk About Love. You gotta let Memaw and Pepaw feel like they're "with the times," sometimes. We'll all get there one day if we're lucky.

I wondered if Prince would come out with something like this. It has to have caught his attention just how massively successful "Uptown Funk" has been, which copies his 80s sound so much that my son thought it was Prince the first time he heard it. [Edited 5/27/15 13:00pm] |

It's funny when grandpa says it at Thanksgiving. It's sad when he writes a song with it. |

You know, its funny to me when people say that about Uptown Funk because it sounds ALOT more like various other 80's funk bands more than Prince to me. It has a small hint of The Time in it but sounds NOTHING like Prince, in musical composition or lyrics. |

Talent never dies. But you have to work on it. And he doesn't seem to work too hard on his lyrics anymore. And with a funk jam like this, that's fine. Although James Brown knew how to combine funk jams with deep lyrics. |

Well, the main Illuminati symbol is the pyramid with the eye on top, but if you look at Prince's cover art, they "pyramid" is actually inverted with the eye at the bottom. I think he's saying, "Turn the Illuminati on its head, and 'Free Urself.'" But then again, people here say the Wild Sign is actually 666 if you look at it from the side, so...

Y'know...I was holding my nose before Art Official Age came out and I actually ended up liking it (on balance). So even though these snippets don't do much for me, I'm going to go with "wait and see." We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. |
