Which songs titles would you have chosen instead of "Hitnrun" 1 & 2

It's not the first time Prince doesn't title an album after a song but in that case it's almost odd that 2 albums as unrelated in sounds and themes as HnR 1 & 2 share a similar title (let's see what the assumed 3 additional volumes will sound like).

.

So if P had gone the usual route and chosen a song title from each album to name it instead, what would u think would have been the best title for each album?

.

My picks:

HnR1: Million $ Show

HnR2: Black Muse

Interesting choice given that the album is more Josh than Prince.

Back in the days, Prince said that an album should always have a title track. But somewhere along the line he must´ve changed his mind.

Hitnrun phase 1 and 2 are odd titles for albums.

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

Cool thread.

HnR Phase 1 - honestly I would name it "Shut This Down" because that's what I want to do with the first half of it.

HnR Phase 2 - How about "Revelation"? Has the vibe of a Prince album name, and along with "Look At Me Look At U" it's a pretty lauded ballad.

Then we'd have "Emancipation" and "Revelation" in the Prince canon.

i personally think these albums are a series of compilations - so the 'hitnrun' title works for me as a catch all title for all the volumes to come - and the quick, lo-profile way they are being released.
