These are the lyrics Album Drops Nov. 30th Prince referece: Did it like Miles and Dizzy, now we gettin Busy bridging the gap from blues to jazz to rap The history of music on this track born in the game discovered my fathers music like Prince searchin' through boxes of Purple Rain But MN was the bridge, home of the super kid some are well known some doing bids.... | |

"boxes"?! or was it the first word that came to Nas' mind? next time, try a little harder -- especially if ya gonna make a Prince reference! the next line is much better: "but MN was the bridge, home of the super Kid" | |

I've heard it, and it's different...but I kind of like it...kind of. By the way, it features his father, Olu Dara. Reminds me of the good ol' "Life's a Bitch" days. | |

Nas was real hot back then, i feel like he is getting back to what he use to be though. Anyone know when the album is dropping???? I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

The lyric is "like Prince searching through boxes IN Purple Rain" ~ a reference to the scene in which Prince's character is digging through boxes and finds his father's sheet music. An excellent song, and a cute way to work Prince in. The reference fits perfectly with the theme of the song. The Normal Whores Club | |

Cam'Ron has a song on his upcoming album, Purple Haze, that samples "Diamonds & Pearls" and in the song he says...
"Yo i flip that purple punch Lunch purple pain I'm the prince That sold Prince 'Purple Rain' But i'm blasted up V1 acid cut Pink diamond Diamond backs I ain't fat Bastard what..." | |
