Almost all of disc 2 is perfect as-is.

Agreed.

Sex In The Summer is a bit of a clunky start for that disc, but overall it's one of his best of the 90's.

Assuming that it has to be 12 tracks long, and only tracks that are on Emancipation:

1. Slave
2. Right back here in my arms
3. Somebody's somebody
4. Courtin' Time
5. Emale
6. Curious Child
7. The Holy River
8. Joint 2 Joint
9. Mr Happy
10.Sleep Around
11.Soul Sanctuary
12.Emancipation

Jam Of The Year
Courtin' Time
White Mansion
Curious Child
Dreamin' About U
Joint 2 Joint
In This Bed I Scream
Soul Sanctuary
Sleep Around
My Computer
The Love We Make
Emancipation

1. Jam of The Year
2. Get Yo' Groove On
3. White Mansion
4. Damned If I Do
5. Can't Make U Love Me
6. In This Bed Scream
7. Sex In The Summer
8. Soul Sanctuary
9. Joint 2 Joint
10. The Holy River
11. Saviour
12. Slave
13. My Computer
14. One Of Us
15. The Love We Make
16. Emancipation

I've only just begun to appreciate any of Emancipation (and I bought it on the release date!) So this may change, but for now, I'd keep the following:

Jam of the Year
In This Bed I Scream
Curious Child
Joint 2 Joint
The Holy River
Saviour (my current Emancipation favorite; very underrated)
Face Down
Style
The Love We Make
One of Us - the only good cover from this album; the other three should've been left the hell alone. Even Prince should know not to fuck with the Stylistics and the Delfonics! Trying to do those harmonies with only himself on backing vocals... I usually love how he does that, but on his own songs.

I'd have a really hard time selecting enough tracks for one good album. I'm sorry, but I hear nothing that comes near a masterpiece on this yukky album...

1. Jam Of The Year
2. Right Back Here In My Arms
3. Somebody's Somebody
4. Soul Sanctuary
5. Curious Child
6. Joint 2 Joint
7. The Holy River
8. Dreamin' About U
9. Sleep Around
10. My Computer
11. White Mansion
12. Saviour
13. In This Bed I Scream
14. The Love We Make

1.Right Back Here In My Arms
2.Somebody's Sombody
3.Jam of the Year
4. Can't Make U Love Me
5.One of Us
6.Betcha By Golly Wow
7.La,La Means Love You
8.In This Bed Scream
9.White Mansion "Versace, Gucci; They all want to do me"
10.Get Yo' Groove On
11.The Love We Make

I love Disc 1; didn't really groove much to Discs 2 and 3. Awesome job re-making "One of Us" and " Can't Make U Love Me"

1. Betcha By Golly Wow!
2. In This Bed I Scream
3. Soul Sanctuary
4. Emale
5. Curious Child
6. Dreamin' About U
7. Joint 2 Joint
8. Friend Lover Sister Mother Wife
9. Style
10. Sleep Around
11. My Computer
12. The Love We Make

Though I prefer Emancipation the way it was released!

disc 2 is perfect.i have let other casuals hear it and no one has disagreed.

I think Disc 2 has some great songs, especially if they're taken on their own. But my overall impression of it is of a failed marraige and a big yawn. Give me Disc 3 instead.

AWESOME...

00. 2020 -- hidden track.
02. Hypnoparadise
03. Journey 2 The Center Of Ur Heart


where are these tracks on the emancipation album

Here goes for mine:

1. Jam Of The Year
2. My Computer
3. Courtin' Time
4. Style
5. White Mansion
6. Soul Sanctuary
7. Emale
8. Curious Child
9. Dreamin' About U
10.Joint 2 Joint
11.Somebody's Somebody
12.In This Bed I Scream
13.Let's Have A Baby
14.The Love We Make
15.Sleep Around
16.Emancipation

You need to remember to do some cross fades between some tracks to get the desired effect. For example you can blend the end of Joint 2 Joint where P is chatting on the phone into the storm at the start of Somebody's Somebody to great effect.

THIS IS MY VERSION AND CANT LISTEN TO ANY OTHER AS I DONT LIKE ANY OF THE OTHER TRACKS ON THE ALBUM!!!

TheMax would do it like this:
Jam of the Year
Mr Happy
Sex in the Summer
Joint 2 Joint
Let's Have a Baby
Face Down
LA,LA,LA Means...
Style
Sleep Around
DA,DA,DA
One of Us
The Love We Make

01. Jam Of The Year
02. Right Back Here In My Arms
03. I Am The DJ
04. Let's Have A Baby
05. Sex In The Summer
06. Dreamin' About U
07. In This Bed I Scream
08. Joint 2 Joint
09. Soul Sanctuary
10. Style
11. My Computer
12. Saviour
13. 2020
14. Sleep Around
15. The Love We Make

This sounds so good; I think I'm gonna actually make me a one-disc Emancipation!

Emancipation is already a masterpeice

I like the 3 disc glut of material myself.

they're not. the first and third ones are outtakes for sure, and hypnoparadise is assumed to be from the same era.

He releases a 10 songs album and everybody's talking about the unreleased stuff.

Then he releases 36 songs at a time and they're looking for the songs that should have not be included.

Negativity
NO!
