Ok, so we all know that Prince does not 'speak' swears as it is against his JW faith, however, whether you speak a swear, or imply it, as in the HITnRUN album by simply leaving the swear word out of the sentence, the end result is the still same, that being the complete thought, swear included, is now in the listeners head.

It is not just HITnRUN, but implied swearing has been around well, since he stopped swearing, and that is cool, he can do whatever wants, and I don't mind it one bit, I simply find it an interesting observation and perplexing why someone who is so against swearing will still plant the thought in folks minds.

I've gotten used to his new way now. But he had a knack for swearing. Like the sound of angels singing. Best dirty mouth ever!

Yes. Yes.

We didn't ask you anything!

What I think is crazy is that if you don't want to say the word 'ass', don't write it into your lyrics.

I was hoping his curse words were left intact for the CD, but they weren't.

and i TOLD you i was gonna buy you a whistle too !

You were expecting Prince to be logical? What the duck?

I agree - if your stance is to not use swear words, then don't imply them either. Doing what he does makes him look silly - as though he thinks there is some kind of boogeyman spell released when he utters particular combinations of consonants and vowels.

With religious folks, hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.

This post is exactly what I've been saying and I've been saying it since Rainbow Children (What the duck).

There are at least 3 instances on the new album, and at least 1 (2?) are for the mild "ass". Really, Prince?!? Ass is too awful to say but not to awful to include it but then censor yourself. What kind of bullst is that?

KingSausage said:

It's just one more sign of Prince becoming more childish and making disposable music.

Nah, it's something else cuz he did it on TRC which is not at all disposable. Just tainted by this kind of shenanigans.

That's an insulting generalization. Certainly we've all known people it applies to, but for instance, I don't know anyone else that believes words can be bad that still says them but self censors in a way you know exactly what they mean. In my experience, Prince is unique in this respect.

Hypocrisy. One of the main things I don't like about Prince's image and music these days. He clearly still curses.

It's just another transitional phase; Nasty Prince is cumming back(!) Think about how many hip hop artists careers would be dead in the water if they couldn't use the NWord to help sell music. Prince used to only espouse veganism too, but he's back to including non vegan references.*

*Breakfast Can Wait

"Grits and gravy, cheese [vegans don't eat dairy products] eggs [or endorse theft from foul] and jam ..."

"Hotcakes smothered in honey [or bees for that matter] ..."

*June

"Pasta..." [is usually made with eggs. See above.]

Yeah, I work in a health food store, there are vegan alternatives for all of the above.
