Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance

Predictions on what this is going to sound like: Cool and quirky like IIWYG, psychadelic funk like Paisly Park, L-1 Drum infested like Dorothy Parker/What Do U Want Me 2 Do? I personally predict it will be a mid-temp groovy, start and stop, seduction song like Supercute. Whatchoo thank?

The title sounds like a Terence Trent D'arby song.

With the recent CNOTE, Xpectation, N.E.W.S output I would be surprised if there wasn't an instrumental track on Musicology.

I can't begin to think of potential lyrical content for ICP&C so I think this could be an instrumental. As for soundalike? I would guess a kind of jazzy/sleazy/funky workout. Something that we've not heard from P before.

That would be cool.

Well, if you take the last letter of each word, it spells NAPE.

The opposite of NAPE is EPAN.

Now swap the first and last letters around and you get PANE.

So it could be about windows. That's what i'd bet on. With some sex and God thrown in.

Or you could have just won Dusty Bin.

My bets on an instrumental too, with a title as disconnected as that...

I think it'll be instrumental. If it's not, then I suspect it to sound like Race in that it will have a highspeed vocal.

gah,no more instrumentals , therss not many tracks on the album as it is , if one of the tracks we havent heard is an instrumental thats less to look forward too. Any song with the word
"Pimp" in the title , I'm thinking it'll be a comedy type number like Moviestar or sometihng by The Time.

I thought the same thing about the title "Elephants & Flowers," but that turned out pretty good.

This is not an instrumental...
I've just read the report of the Honk Kong aftershow at "the Edge" club (October 18th,2003)on the last edition of Uptown and they said that this song was played at this aftershow.

The 1st verse is:

" She knew how 2 use a fork, but she didn't know how 2 dance. So he hipped her 2 the funk in exchange 4 a little finance. Who's pimpin' who? This is the story of illusion , coma , pimp and circumstance."
