It's unlistenable because he was so happy during the recording of what he believed at the time was his greatest work, with all this new-found freedom, and then things ended up such a tragedy. He has poured too much of himself into it, bared his soul. It's awful in hindsight. I guess if things had worked out really well with everything, we'd probably be hearing much more of this!



Come on. You are acting like life has become bad on poor porr Prince. Given, the death of his baby was a tradegy of the worst kind. But other than that, Prince was very much responsible for the life he was living. During the time Prince has recorded emancipation, his life was a chaos. He wasnt faithful to his wife, and he wasnt faithful to his musical agenda. Its going too far to victimze the man.

The One video is rare because I dont believe it ever saw the light of day.


Actually it was shown on VH1. A longer version premiered on BET.

And al it took was for one person to tape the video and circulate it amongst the fans and it was rare no more , truth be told,not many of Prince's videos are unobtainable anymore,except maybe Pussy Control.
Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

Prince had a party at Paisley Park one Friday night to premier it but I never saw or heard of it after that.Prince pumps his own damn gas yall.He also goes to the HOLLYWOOD video store as they are about to close or right after they close to choose his videos. He hasn't been spotted eating at too many restaurants lately from what I have seen.The last time i saw him was at Jazzmines jazz club in Mpls. eating French Fries while watching Kip Blackshires performance.http://www.kipblackshire.com


the THE ONE video is great ! i love the choreography that Mayte did.
yes SIR!

I dont know. I`m not Prince. But in MY opinion, yes... He is an entertainer after all. Some of his songs are personal, but most of them are just fictional stories.

I know! I saw the clip for the first time on RAGE the other night too, and I'm like "Is Prince wearing scrubs?" And he was. And I laughed. Then Mayte came on the screen and I stopped laughing. Anyway, isn't the clip for Raspberry Beret the most hypnotic clip ever?
