Quincy made up stories like the one where MJ tried to kill PRINCE with a car, the one where he stole Billie Jean to Donna Summer...He is full of shit and anger towards MJ since he was fired.

Wasn't it Prince who tried to kill MJ with the car? probably in a jokey way.

Holy moly.

I think another song could've worked, where it was a more balanced collaboration.

I always felt something like Superfly Sister, Why You Wanna Trip on Me, Give In To Me, Partyman, 7, or Endorphinmachine could've worked as duets between them

I've never really gotten the hook of "bad" or had any part stick (unlike many other MJ songs that last of which was "Butterflies").

So... I would pay old school bootleg prices to hear what Prince's take on it was. He would have found his idea of the pop "hook" in the idea.

That s why it s absurd that some trolls here really think that : 1. MJ sent a tape of his overprotective work to Prince 2. Prince recorded his own version of the song and sent him to MJ . We are talking here about 2 professionals musicians and superstars at the top of their creativity and seriously dedicated to their art. . Not 2 kids taking their songs as jokes

.

Around that same time Prince sent back Madonna a tape of her "Like A Prayer" with him playing wild guitar all over it. Now, what were you saying about artists not sending each other tapes of unreleased music? (Perhaps you think Madonna's too mainstream? Then how about Kate Bush?) Or about Prince treating a song as a joke?

That's not funny. It's easier to just run down a guitar track, then let her use as much or as little as she wants to use. As well as fly in any part wherever she want to put it.

Patrick LEonard (?) sayd Prince made a version with a long guitar solo throughout the track and a tiny part of it was used on the album version or a remix.

If Prince did that I hope he said your ass is mine. That butt lyric is so middle school.

"Ass" adds more ferocity than "butt" but the context is still the same. I also find it ironic and kinda funny that you say MJ saying "butt" is so middle school but think that Prince saying "ass" instead would be such a great improvement.

It was a bit of a joke but I stand by it. In the context of this particular song, when you're talking about being the baddest ASS around - baddest BUTT doesn't sound as BAD, does it? Watered down for the pop masses and tipper gore types.

It's also used on "Act of Contrition".

I'm sure Prince produced,arranged,compose & did all the vocals in one hour.

Wasn't it Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me that Prince sent Michael & it was Siedah Garrett (the writer of Liberian Girl) that did the duet (I Just Can't Stop Loving You) with Michael. It would have been great if Prince & Michael would have done something like 100 MPH, I think Mike was digging them as he gave them a shout out

Quincy Jones is a jerk off...always was and always will be. He is so full of shit. He goes out of his way to always try to make Prince look bad. F U Quincy!

Yep. Siedah is so underrated, still, I feel, as a songwriter.

On thé remix version. And I even wonder it the album was already mastered and ready to be released when they sent Prince the tapes

I think you can hear part of his solo on the album version in reverse or was that only in the video for the song?
