Something Funky This House Comes

black mf in the house

tony m fucking rocks and the hate is unwarranted.

Willing and Able
My Name is Prince
The Flow

You didn't ask, but Tony M raps I strongly dislike: Daddy Pop, Live 4 Love, Love 2 the 9s, The Max, The Sacrifice of Victor.

"Love 2 The 9s" didnt need any rap at all...Prince, Tony M and Mayte ALL desecrated that beautiful masterpiece by rapping on it.. And wtf does "lemme see that booty boom" even mean??

Yeah, ouch on L2T9's.... just ouch on a beautiful one

The only one I can take is Sexy MF because it feels like it 'belongs',

I have a hard time when it seems like there is a rap part tacked on to the end of a random song which for me drastically damages 91-93

Co-sign. Also, the weak Fat Boyz style record scratching was already out of date. I actually don't mind Prince speaking over the last third of the song. I consider that talking, not rapping, because it doesn't have the inflection of a proper rap.

The best Tony M rap performance goes toooooo:

"My Name Is Prince"

The worst in on that (Alt. Dub Version) of "Martika's Kitchen"

He ruined Willing And Able for me.

My favorite Tony M. moment is when he left the band.

You know - there's a leaked version of that song without him in it. It just sorta plays on without that part.

And when I talk about how I edited his ass out of 99% of Prince's music, that song was the hardest. It still doesn't totally sit right with me. BUT now that the other version is out there, I could sorta piece it together and have a more fluid segue of erasing vocals.

also, tony and the other game boyz had cool outfits.

Pajamas?

Willing and Able is one of the few Tony raps I don't mind. Granted, the song would be better without it. But I don't think it totally ruins the song. It has a nice, mellow, sing-songy quality that isn't totally offensive to my ears.

yeah, that one kinda fits the mood

i mean, is it essential? no. but then, most guest raps arent that essential (in my view... i mean do i need jay-z on umbrella? no. do i need clipse on like i love u? no. do i need petey pablo on goodies? definitely no).

I only like him on Goldnigga. I like rap so his other appearances are far too egregiously cornball, I'd rather have Prince rapping. Goldnigga with the overall vibe his stuff feels more smooth beat poetry-esque than his/Prince's attempt at Top 40 "bars".

Everybody loves their own brand.

There's gotta be at least one if not 2-3 complete Tony M. solo LPs produced by DJ Jazzy Nelson the Originale phresh Prince himself in the Vault, right?

Those leaked/hypothetical D&P SDE tracklists are flat-out wrong not including any of them, and the fans are even worse not demanding it from the estate either.

Hey, I have no interest in D&P Deluxe but if you're gonna do it you gotta do right. Don't be ashamed of the friggin' era while trying to sell us on it. It needs a Tony M. bonus disc with them crazy dope fly super fresh super phat Prince block rockin' beats, because I mean what exactly are we commemorating here? Last I checked Tony M. defined D&P era, you just gonna try and pretend it wasn't literally the Tony M era of the Prince discography? A worse snub than absolutely nobody demanding the "51 Hours" white label featuring Diamond & Pearl be included with the seventeen different edits of "Gett Off".

i mean, yeah, if we are wanting the SDEs to be definitive, and do the eras COMPLETE justice, then everything should be in there. or at least it needs to be representative. i need 70 mins of pure tony. there has to be in fact MORE songs with MORE tony than we know. maybe they are good? either way, the public must be allowed to decide.

There is a lot more with Tony on. P used him on a lot of projects. Like Day Tripper with Margie Cox/Flash as well as Martika, Mavis, Carmen.

.

There was talk at the time of including Mary J and Tupac in the Goldnigga project.

.

He also had 2 tracks included on the Hoop Dreams album. These had no P involvement but Eric Leeds and Ricky & Paul Peterson were.
