IF THE MAN MAKES U SICK Y DON'T U GET A LIFE AND LEAVE THIS WEBSITE AND NEVER LISTEN OR LOOK AT HIM EVER AGAIN? HE CAN'T BE ANYMORE IRRITATING THAN THAT WORN OUT BRITANY SPEARS, LIKE WHO LISTENS 2 HER?

Pissriverdean, I don't think I'm gonna waste anymore of my time on you because it's obvious. You're just on the org to get a rise out of people. So I guess you would know about crap because it's in your piss river. Maybe you can find some real music and talent when you hear it somewhere at the bottom of that shallow river.

most of u guys like turnitup seem to be blind prince fans cmon prince needs to be frozen and put in a museum along side mozart and other dead artists with the words i was once a genius stamped on his forehead

I'm sorry you feel that way about the CD. There's parts of it that I like, there's parts that I dont... to quote Prince himself, "don't you miss the feeling music gave you back in the day".

This one doesn't give me that feeling, but that's okay. I like it better than the music of Rave or the Lyrics from Rainblow. I'm glad at least that he's not cramming JW propaganda into every song. I'm glad that he's not using computers to write music as much. I'm glad that he really sounds like he's having fun - THOSE things really make me enjoy the record.

But yeah, I've heard your excrement, and it's the jam.

The whole point of this forum is to share our opinions and ideas.
Therefore, we must live with the sometimes negative opinions of others.
Those of you that call this CD "crap" with no other explaination let me asked you this.

Do you say this because, most of you have been "brainwashed" by sampled beats so much so that you all can tell the difference between that and a real drum beat? Or are u guys just miffed because, he just came out of nowhere and is getting all the attention that the artist that you all listen to usually get?

Let me make something clear, I have nothing against using samples in music, as long as you use some imagination when using them. Prince may use a sample or two, but he is very clever in the way he uses them.

Musicolgy, is not a great album, but it is his musical statement. There are songs that I certainly can relate to. "Mr. Man" and "WDYWMTD" Those two songs touch me. They touch me for the statement that they make. Some of today's music no matter how hard it tries, only has two statements, sex and money. Today, it is all about the "bling bling" and "To the window to the wall" This CD tries to make different statements on each track and to certain extent, it succeeds.

Just my 2 cents

firstofall hes not getting lotsa attention i guess for prince fans he is cause any attention is considered lots compared to the attentions hes received in the last 5 years
if he was clever with samples then dont u think he could rework a sample into a hit song wow u say 2 songs touch u well lets see if they touch others to and become hit songs and i mean hit songs based on chart performance not by only diehard prince fans u may as well just buy musicology for the booklet and be touched by the lyrics cause the music acompanying these so called touching lyrics aint doing it for me to often prince has rested on his laurels his musics stale and i think the best thing that can happen to prince is for him to go completely broke and lose everything then all u would have is his talent he needs to feel that desperation of a artist trying to just break into the industry for the first time how can a prince aged 25 be better then prince today aged 45 that makes no sense and should be the other way round u know its like that saying im not getting older im getting better well this sure aint happening to prince for example look at the stuff he did aged 23 24 25 compared to aged 43 44 45
when he was younger he was fresher and hungrier its been so long since he had a hit song im not sure he would know what a hit song sounded like yet in his 20s he seemed to know based on the charts. hes rested on this genuis tag to long now without fighting to live up to it whats happened to this modern day mozart as he was dubbed is he still alive is he still here if so can someone please wake him up

that is one long sentence.

riverdean7 said:

Well, let me see if I can answer some of your questions.

Regarding his reworking a sample into a hit song, he did so with "7". The sample he used was called, Tramp. "7" was not a huge hit, but I do believe it charted.

Secondly, just because a song is no.1 does not mean that it is a good song. Take, Michael Jackson's "Thriller". That is an album that sold 44 million plus, and was number one for a quite a while; It was a commerical sucess, but does this mean that it was a good Album? No, far from it. Some of the songs from that album are not very good. Yet, Michael's "Off the wall" album was not as successful as "Thriller" yet it had much better material on it. You can still play "Off the wall" today, 20 plus after it's release and it still sounds great. "Thriller", except for a few songs, sounds very polished and campy.

So, don't go by chart position. It all boils down to how u feel inside when you play the cd. When I listen to Musicology, I hear and feel something that I have not felt in a long time. When an album does that, then it has done it's job.

'dem drawerz got super powers...

shortini 7 was released like over 12 years ago lol
your bullshit about thriller is completely laughable im not even gonna address this one


'dem drawerz got super powers...
no its my ass thats got super powers its like one of those new hybrid cars that run on electricity
if i meet prince im not gonna shake his hand im just gonna put his nose in between my sweet cheeks before i rip a hershey smoothie on him hopefully that would wake him up from the sleep induced coma hes been in the last 5 years

Ok, Musicology may not be an exact science, but I guess that there are some students out there that are willing to tes the theory the P is on an upward spiral towards Global Recogition after a period. It's almost D&P again...

riverdean7 said:

yes, 7 was release about 12 years ago, what's ur point? Let me ask you, were you born when, Off the wall was released? I was there when both of them were released. These recordings were released at a time when music was music. When they used real instruments. Musicolgy, tries to bring that feeling back and I think he succeeds.

my point is 12 years is a very long time when i said when was the last time he made a hit song out of a sample i kinda meant recently like the last 5 years he cant be that clever if it was 12 years ago he had a hit with a sample
yeah i was around when otw and thriller was released and if musicology brings the feeling back from those albums i think it would reflect in the charts and the sales of musicology worldwide sales dont bear this at all
