Purple Pick of the Week: “RUFF ENUFF”

January 11 2016 by Ryan Pinkard

Purple Pick of the Week features new tracks, exclusives, rarities and more — curated personally by Prince.

This week’s pick is the fresh and funk-inflicted song “RUFF ENUFF” by MONO NEON.

Introducing the track for us, NPG Records writes:

“You may recognize Kirk A Johnson on drums, Mono Neon on bass and Adrian Crutchfield on sax and electric woodwinds as the house band 4 Prince’s Paisley Park After Dark Jam Sessions. Well, that’s not all they do. 4 the past week they’ve been cutting basic trax 4 their as yet untitled debut album. With Prince producing and handling the keyboard & guitar duties, the set promises 2 b picking up right where Judith Hill’s BACK IN TIME left off. These brothas murder the funk! Normally they wouldn’t let a track out until it’s finished, but this one had 2 go! It was ruining everybody’s good loox. If U think U can resist the funk, check out the key change of Mono’s bass solo at near 4 oclockmark. Exactly.”

That reads like Crystal Ball's liner notes for Hide The Bone.

He introduced that song at PP last October and he was singing similar vocals as well as playing keys... It was Awesome... I hope he releases that version sometimes...

Missa confused: can't find it on the Tidal Store. How do I purchase it?

see, i don't understand why he does that, have someone else sing lead on it now.
perhaps he thinks he'll be flooding the market with another new prince track soon
as this after both hitnrun albums? but he has to know by now that we can take it

Yep, can't find it either anymore. They must have taken it from the store because of the instrumental/vocoder versions.

Im not sure that the term "flooding the market" and the HNR numbers go hand in hand. Maybe "flooding the bathtub"...

How filthy would that album be? I'm picturing vocal arrangements like the hook on Violet The Organ Grinder. Those vocals has more stank and filth than all of the Parliament Funkadelic "choirs" has ever produced.

I think y'all r thinking of Arboretum. Case wasn't a pick i don't think .

If only we had a running list of what was released on the Purple Pick of the week....

Ah well, I guess knowing what music has been released by a recording artist is not really that important. It's not like the whole reason that we are interested in this person or website has anything to do with music or songs... oh, wait.

Well, its not like this website is here to inform us about news and events related to Prince... oh, wait.

Well, it's not like this forum is dedicated to Prince's music... oh, wait.

It's not like anyone ever asks what was released on this week's purple pick of the week... oh, wait.

It's not like there are other stickies on this forum that are pretty much of limited use or have little or no recent activity... oh, wait.

Ok, I'm out of excuses. WHY IS THIS NOT IMPORTANT TO THIS SITE. IS THERE A MODERATOR HERE WHO CARES? IS THERE SOMEONE WHO CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION?

You are right, we should all just post there. Before I leave, trax, why do you think it is acceptable to have 3 sticky threads about a survey, a locked one about gossip, and one about an album that is now over a month old? What do those threads have that gives them importance enought to be stickied? That info is just as easily found by a quick google search, so by the standard of saying essentially "that info you want stickied is in a post with a link in this thread" then if someone were to just make a post and link to those three threads (the stickied ones) then they could be taken down and no longer necessary?

Nevermind. Dont bother answering. I just came to the realization that this site is not about what it once was, and no longer serves my needs or can even respond to a request. So, I'm out. I'll track releases somewhere else, and skip the chatter about hair styles and arguments about which songs suck.

Hey ThomasBjj... IIRC it is Prince himself who does not like this info to be easy accessible,

It was a demand from the Prince camp to take down this list not having a sticky..


(I could remember this wrong sorry if I did)

Honestly, I don't care about the stickies. I am not being rude and it may come off that way but that is not my intent. Its just the truth.
