The Purple Album

Has anyone actually heard this CD? I've heard the Grey Album that DJ Danger Mouse did with the Beatles, but I wasn't sure if there was really one with Prince's Music.
SO WHAT IF WE'RE CONTROLLING ALL THE OIL, IS IT WORTH THE CHILD DYING 4?

it's a fun listen, if for no other reason than the familiarity of all the sounds.. it's kinda like Purple Rain tossed into a blender. entertaining. "Encore" and "Change Clothes" are the standouts to me.. most tracks work at least "well," but there are a few stretches.

full melodies backing the tracks are only heard on about half the songs, the others will be brand new to your ears.

it's worth the money, IMO.

There are (at least) 2 different "purple albums".
One here

the other here..

http://www.THEpurplealbum.com

Of course neither one of them are "official". I prefer the first one myself.

feeling ill IT SUCKS

I can't stand the way Jay-Z raps and after listening to the songs I feel even more sick.
I mean at least they could have chosen someone else to mix the Man's music with....NOT JAY-Z!!!!! wall

What is the msg at the end of the final song? Is it the words from the end of Darling Nikki played the right way round instead of backwards like they are on the purple rain album?
