If you people don't think that P has spent lots of time listening to Parliament/Funkadelic,you haven't been paying much attention!


Right, P-Funk (a few hits aside) rarely gets it's just dues anyway.

D'Angelo (before their mysterious fall out)
By the way, what was that all about?


Whats their mysterious fell out??


D spoke about Prince being better in the 80s along with Beck in a double interview. Saul Williams' "Voodoo" liner notes which talk on P also got misinterpreted as coming from D. Prince then went from namechecking D positively on "Get Yo Groove On" and "Undisputed" to dissing on Daisy Chain "How you gonna claim to have my back when your frontin" and talking about a "cane rowed junkie" while an image of "The Real Chicken Grease" showed (This being Prince's originally as an onstage command and becoming a song title for D). P seemingly got very bitter...

I see. Well, it's understandable that D'Angelo will have called him out. He loves Prince and the truth as he sees it, is that Prince is not what he used to be. He's lost that funk on record. An opinion held by many, for quite some time. I can also understand that Prince went from respecting D'Angelo to dissing him. Perhaps a little immature though.

Wasn't Prince's band in high school named "Grand Central Station". I have a feeling "Graham Central Station" was pretty much Prince's favorite band as a teenager. And who could blame him. One listen to their first five albums, and you'll be hooked. Larry Graham post-1978 though, don't get me started...yikes.
