Kendrick Euphoria Prince ref? Has this been mentioned?
On Kendrick’s Euphoria there’s a BACKMASKED msg quoting LPWM’s end rap. Seeing as K is a big P fan it seems clearly intentional - a double nod because of the backwards recording a La Darling Nikki, BIAS etc. https://youtu.be/5-Q0AdE_...frJnO1-_X3 (Pretty sure the Stop at the end is a sample from Batdance, no?)

This about the biggest stretch on here I've seen in a while. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

Also, that 'stop' in "Batdance" is Keaton. "Whatever skin we're in

K is known to be influenced by P so it’s not a big stretch. He fills his music with Easter eggs and hidden references (as P sometimes did). I’m not saying it’s a big deal just a little nod. The stop at the end, though, that’s a clear sample. |

ELO put secret messages in their songs, and even named an album Secret Messages mocking the backmasking scare created by the Christian church in the early 80s. Randy Stonehill put a backward message right in the middle of a song. Petra started an album with a blatant backward message.

The best example of these type of threads was maintaining Taylor Swift was a huge 90s Prince fan because she used the phrase "Days of Wild" buried deep in a lyric sheet. |

Whatever. Did you even read my reply? Obviously just using backmasking isn’t automatically Prince-related. What’s your point? When the backmasking is a line basically identical to a Prince spoken lyric and when the song ends identically to a major Prince song, then the backmasking is relevant. Anyway, u all taking this wayyy too serious. I’m pointing out a pretty clear nod coz it’s interesting. Not making any major point or claim about it. U all getting ur knickers in a knot. |

OMFG! On 'That 90's Show', Kitty referenced Carmen Electra on episode 4 of the second season right around the six minute mark. Could have been five minutes and thirty seconds, though!
