One of my only hesitations with C&D is I Rock Therefore I Am. Now, I like that song...even the shitty Scrappy Doo bullshit. But that song title is so fantastic that it should have been used on a song that would be in Prince's Top Ten.

I'm just going to admit that, not only do I love this album... I even love I Rock Therefore I Am.

Hell, I even love Scrap D's verse!

(How can a MPLS native not love a verse that shouts out Kirby Puckett?!?)


I'm with you.

But still, I hiss every time when "NPG to da maxi-mom" resonates.
I am intolerant to Raggamuffin (me thinks it's the cretin child of Reggae — Dub is something else).

Yeah, big up, rude boy, I agree. lol

I like Right The Wrong.

Dinner With Delores and Eye Rock are okay.

The rest is just not my cup of tea.

It's in my least-listened-to list. I'd rather listen to S.N.O.O.Z.E., Kama Sutra, or Xpectation over this.

A much better listening experience than Emancipation ever was/is..


You don't necessarily have to ditch Emancipation to state that Chaos and Disorder is worth the listen.

Emancipation, reduced to one album, is fantastic.
I think SKipper gave us an album, plus some b-sides and a bit of The Vault.

That's maybe what he meant by artistic freedom.

I can't comment when there's such generosity.
You may or may not like some songs, but they're all made with guts.
He was at this point in this life, he had more mature problematics,
yeah, Christophe Tracey or Spooky Electric it is not.

It's his rock-bourgeoisie album. On proper headphones,
there's nothing to throw by common standards.
But if the standard is SKipper himself, of course we're going to complain.

Us spoiled brats.



Well, whatever it was you just said, C&D is an awsome album and my comparing it to Emancipation was simply because the 2 were out at roughly the same time. And because I actually bought them both at the same time, I compared them then just as I am doing now, with exactly the same conclusion. In fact, back then I did compile my favourite songs from Emancipation (recorded onto cassette), and I still preferred the C&D experience. I would even go as afar as saying that if any 2 Prince albums SHOULD be compared it is these 2. Why? Because one marks the end of an era (of a long, drawn out public battle), and the other marks the start of a new era (now free to what he wanted to do). There is an historical point of interest there.

Really an album I like and give a spin pretty often. I like this one way more than Musicology, just to name one.
