Prince mentioned in Rap Lyrics? LET'S COMPILE IT!

I'll start. From the Foreign Exchange song "Nic's Groove"

Phonte: "Pause if you feeling that/cause I am still in fact/
On some Purple Rain shit/Jerome where my mirror at?
I want some hips and some asses wiggling"

* Post inspired by a convo I had with a friend the other day. I always thought GZA said "like Prince on the strings of his guitar" on the Wu classic "As High as Wu-Tang Get," but alas, I was wrong.

Add away!!

Eminem, Without Me.

"Now let's go, just give me the signal

I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil ever since
Prince turned himself into a symbol"

Same lol

People were singing it but clearly had no idea. My mom had showed me Purple Rain a couple years earlier, and I would watch it pretty much every weekend for the next 3 years.

Just a weird 12 year old obsessed with Prince.

Lil Rob - Summer Nights

"Them summer nights can keep a smile on your face

Gotta try to have a good time with your life otherwise it's just a waste

Either way I'm gonna party just in case

Like Prince partied like is was 99, in 87, 88"

His years are off, but he tried.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Not a liric, but I think this is one of the first sampling of a Prince song:
The sample is taken from "Sign of the times" and the song is:
Get yourself together by the Young Disciples and the line is "Gang called the Disciples"
