I think it's stupid even when Prince does it.

Yeah, me too...

But when I was a young boy with my Purple Rain LP, it was cool.

It was OK back then as long as it was just the occasional 4 instead of for or U instead of You, but from then on it went dramatically and grammatically downhill...it´s not even helpful in the sense of abbreviating these days cause it makes things really difficult to read.
Looks kind of ghetto and cheap and immature.

Yeah, but nobody writes "High there" in a text message, do they now?

I kinda liked it when it was used to write down stuff faster, using less characters. It began to suck when words like I were written as 'eye' ... geez, wtf? offtopic but I also hate the word fam, or prince fam ... fuck that!

What I've never understood is, how is Eye an abbreviation for I? Aren't abbreviations supposed to save time?
