Can anyone tell me if they hear what I hear? On the song, Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance..... in the chorus..... right after Prince says "Boy I was fine back in the day...." When he sings "he hipped her to the funk in exchange for the finance....." I hear him say "and a Blow Job!" I swear I do. Someone listen to the song real quick and let me know that it is not my imagination or something pleaase!

Ummm, I just listened to it a couple of times. I don't think its sounds like "blow job" at all. I can't make out what he's saying, but I was listening for what you thought he sang, and it doesn't sound like it to me. I'll listen to it further though.

i think its just a lower voice repeating "he hipped her to the funk".

No, I'm sure it's only two words.....just really sounds like Blow Job.

I'm laughing with you...

Chile, get yo *head* out da gutta [no pun intended]!!! LOL!

Maybe if you play it backwards.

that's funny, i hear a voice saying "dirty sanchez" in the background..

LOL, maybe my head is in the gutter (I do have 5 children). However, I'll stand behind what I say and I really think he's saying those words.

Try listening with this transcription:

The chorus has various comments underpinning it.

Okay, its "nobody" that you are hearing as "blow job". That sounds more like what I'm hearing. I'll listen to it again with this in mind, then get back to you.

It sounds like, "for real, y'all" to me.

No, I think what is being discussed is the third chorus rendition, where:

'Got the bills, y'all' or perhaps 'For the bills, y'all'

is spoken underneath and towards the end of the line:

'So he hipped her 2 the funk in exchange 4 the finance'

langebleu said:

Yes. Though on listening again, it actually sounds to be like, "Dollar bills, y'all".

JediMaster said:

Oh, ok. I was just in the car listening to it and decided it must be "nobody" instead of "blowjob." However!!!! Upon me typing this out, I distinctively remember that it was after: .... in exchange for the finance (and blowjob[/color[color=blue]]). It can't be "nobody" because that comes after when he sings .....who's pimping who (nobody). Get what I mean?

It's "..and a blowjob", definitely.

Byron, are you sure? I am seriously convinced that is what he says, but no one else seems to hear that....except now you, lol.

Anxiety said:

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Since when is Blow Job a dirty phrase anyways?

garnis said:

Well, as long as I've been around it's been a dirty phrase. I wouldn't tolerate that phrase coming from one of my teenagers. Even though they probably say much worse when I'm not around, it's not something they can sit around and just say to describe anything. Likewise, if I were in mixed company, I wouldn't go throwing that word around either. And for another point, since we have all witnessed a (rebirth if you will) of P and family values, etc., I think that would be a questionable phrase for him to sing. However, the Purple One always goes against the grain anyway, and I probably wouldn't put it past him. Know what I mean?

MonaLuvsYou said:

Positive...it's not "Nobody" because the last word spoken is only 2 syllables...plus, as you said it makes sense within the context of the lyrics being sung at that point.

Ya nailed it...

This was the topic of a thread nearly a month ago - by BinaryJustin if I remember correctly.

He is definatly NOT saying blow job either fact fans.

Unfortunately

*runs in2 room...*
NOT!
*blows raspberry at Byron and runs off again...*

I didn't realize "blow job" was considered a "naughty" word. Where do you folks live?

Well, he does say "bitch" in the same song.

ticktickbang said:

I think he says "But rich", not "Bitch"....

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Would you say "blow job" in a sentence to your mom??...
(flashbacks of the foot massage conversation in "Pulp Fiction")

Well, there's that part in "Cinnamon Girl" where you hear him yell "YOUR MOTHER SUCKS COCKS IN HELL", but I'm sure I'm just bringing up an obvious example.

Anxiety said:

Is that what he's yelling? I thought it was YOUR MOTHER SHUCKS SOCKS IN THE WELL!

Thanks for clearing this up.
