if 0+-> was around 45 mins.... Never hated this album but it never had the highs of d&p.
Still think sexy mf is one of his worst songs (great jb instrumental though), never mind worst choice of first single. Obv all the skits would go first And then I'd chop it down to... The max Love 2 The 9s Morning papers Sweet baby Blue Light Sacrifice of victor The continental Damn u Arrogance 7 acoustic mix God created woman 3 chains of gold Sexy mf and my name is prince would have been good b sides Same for eye wanna melt with u Weird that of all the reggae songs he tried, the only one he released was the worst of them all blue light which recycles do me baby The flow would be better on an npg album [Edited 12/14/20 1:06am] [Edited 12/14/20 14:50pm] |

Better album than DP and you lost ALL credibility by removing the forever funky Sexy MF from the album. š | |

Sexy mf is one of his dumbest songs lol Also counting against it is... It's his most derivative song (well it was in 92) The lyrics arebt actually very sexy Like musicology, itd be better without the verses If it was just a vamp type thing |

Love this album but I would have removed a couple of tracks: "Eye Wanna Melt With U" and "The Sacrifice Of Victor".
"Three Chains O' Gold" would be the closing song.It feels like the big finale track.

Much better album than D&P. I wanna Melt with U is sickkkk. I think he released the wrong version of My Name is Prince. There is a great outtake of it that blows away the version he put on the album.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

is a great album. With Tony M. removed, it's shorter in parts. I also remove "Arrogance" and the segues, and resequenced any songs that need it. (I also cut down "The Continental" to remove "Tell Me How U Wanna Be Done.")

My name is prince is a bart Simpson song (though it's fun in a big dumb way) Eye wanna melt with u shouldve been a b side The flow is a good band workout but ugh the rapping Blue light is a poor reggae rework of the melody of do me baby [Edited 12/14/20 0:53am] |

Sexy MF reached the top ten, so you can hardly call it a poor choice for a single. But that had a lot to do with the buzz that the D&P tour created; the single was released during the tour, which more or less became a promotion for the upcoming album as it went along. Once the tour was over, the buzz was over and the album didn't do much. And when he toured America the next year, all the talk was about the name change.

Funny. Sacrifice is one of the few tracks I like on this album. The kitsch of 3 Chains is one of the worst parts of it. [Edited 12/14/20 1:03am] If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

[Edited 12/14/20 1:02am] In the states it went nowhere on the charts. Anyway chart positions mean nothing. Plenty of terrible songs have sold well. If only I was your girlfriend didnt do that well as a single. Does that make it a lesser song? I dont think so. |

It feels like a bonus track that way. Its def overproduced. But I like it. 3 chains is a great final song even though it is overblown lol This is def his most 90s album Corny raps,record scratching, bad attempts at edginess, trying to sound hard saying things like npg in mass attack, trying to be gangsta with that gun looool [Edited 12/14/20 1:06am] [Edited 12/14/20 1:08am] |

Wow. You took off the good songs. As an album symbol is much better than d&p. Cut Tony M from My Name is Prince and itās brilliant. I had to do my own edit. I say lose Arrogance, 3 chains (awful, just awful), Melt and Blue light and itās perfect Green virgin teenager, or filthy rich yuppy. Pussy cat pussy cat, where for out thou puppy |

if sexy mf and MNIP are the best songs on here, this album has a problem
note that on the final tour, the only song from this album that he played (IIRC) was the max (which sounded great on piano actually) |

I'm personally offended you'd take off Blue Light. I mean, come on Check out The Collector's Guide to Prince on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/p...4ldzxwlEuy | |

Whats different about the outtake version? Personally I'm in the minority and actually really like the single edit of My Name is Prince. it was the perfect stab off contrast to the last two singles off Diamonds and Pearls. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

No idea how anyone can think this album is better than d&p.
Crazy talk. Shame he never played sexy mf or name is prince as an acoustic guitar or solo piano tune. Might have made it fresh. [Edited 12/14/20 6:12am] [Edited 12/14/20 6:12am] |

Best I can do... . 1. My Name is Prince . 2. Sexy MF . 3. Love 2 the 9s . 4. The Max . 5. Blue light . 6. Eye Wanna Melt with U . 7. The Continental . 8. 7 . 9. The Sacrifice of Victor . About 46-47 minutes Iāve been informed that my opinion is worth less than those expressed by others here. |

I agree."The Sacrifice Of Victor" feels like an added-on bonus track.
"Three Chains O' Gold" feels like the complete finale to this album. | |

I can't believe people are ditching And God Created Woman. It's a timeless classic IMO. . It's one of my favourite albums so I wouldn't change anything. Maybe apart from the segues | |

Along with the "Gold Experience", probably his best album of the 90s in my opinion. It was his best album since "Sign O' The Times. I would probably only remove the raps if I could. We're here, might as well get into it. | |

sacrifice is also totally diff to the rest of the album, i love the steeles on it, but its got so much going on in it, even more than any of the other songs, and this is an album that was one of the busiest that prince released. |

Maybe apart from the segues It's not one of my favourite albums, but this song is one of my few favourites on this album that is otherwise full of jams, raps, beats, noise, look ma, I can do reggae too, hey, look ma, I can do a rock opera, oops, I forgot to write some real songs just because I was too busy with being cool and being up to date and trying to get a piece of that shit hop money, no wonder I'm changing my name, I don't know who I AM anymore and I'm going to blame WB! If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

it is true sadly. i regard this album fondly as i loved it at the time, but a lot of songs are more about the arrangements, and the band switching gears in each song, than the actual songs. sweet baby is one of the best things he did on it though, one of his most caring songs. i do actually like blue light but theres something so cheesy about it. maybe its the sax. its like bad reggae for a jamaican cruise tv commercial.

There are some really great and beautiful songs on this album but it was marred by that weird storyline and concept, and some of the lyrics were a bit irritating on some songs. I like the music and vocal delivery of I Wanna Melt With U but the lyrics of him taking a girlĀ“s virginity or the underage references in Morning Papers take a bit away from the enjoyable music. I think The Sacrifice of Victor is one of his most autobiographical songs and should definitely be left on the album. IĀ“d much rather get rid of My Name Is Prince and Sexy MF but many people really liked those songs back then. It has aged badly but the album does contain some really strong songs that still sound good today, such as Damn U, 7 and the wonderful And God Created Woman. Sweet Baby is another gem.

This album and TGE are the best Prince albums of the 90s,Imo. | |

I like both of them a lot but both also couldĀ“ve been so much better with just a few changes, and both would sound less dated without the silly skits and operator segues. I understand that that was part of the whole concept but I never liked the end result on either album. But yes, these are definitely two of his strongest 90s albums.
