I came across a cd by Chaka Khan and Prince CD this weekend at virgin Megastore and never heard of it before. Is it good? Worth checking out?

Chaka mad

I like it, but I'm not that big a Chaka Khan fan. It's very smooth. I wouldn't pay megabucks for it, but if you can get it for the equivlent of $10 or less, go for it.

Its ok. My favorites are "Come 2 My House" "Betcha " and probably the remake of "Dont Talk 2 Strangers"

I dunno, theres something plastic about the production, but Chakas vocals are on key...its just that Prince in 1997-98 sound that kinda throws the album off.

Yeah I figured this albuk could be iffy since it was made in the 90's. Now had they collaborated together it the 80's it would have been a different story.

yeah, Betcha I and Come 2 My House are 2 good ones on it though. I had rented it from the library and copied it

I think you are referring to Chaka's 1998 album 'Come 2 My House',which was produced by Prince and appears on his NPG Records label.I like this album alot.My favorite songs are the title track and "Drama".Another highlight is the funky "Spoon".

Spoon
Betcha :eye:
Pump My Clutch (despite Latifah's rap)

Album's very weird. I don't dig it at all.

it's actually "Pop My Clutch"

What is it like?

dancerella said:

I haven't listened to it in awhile but I remember kinda diggin' it. It was kinda dark and kinda raw production wise. But I remember it being somewhat interesting. It was part of that 3-pack from npg records NPG - New Power Soul, Chaka Kahn - Come 2 My House, GCS - GCS2000.
I'd have to listen again to see what I think now.

I'll have to get this someday, too. I remember reading that it was the best of the three.

Yes, I thought the same thing.
Actually, it's gotta a demo quality to it but it's not bad.

Better than the underrated New Power Soul it was definitely not..

The only real great songs on it r:

The Drama & come 2 My House

The production is pure funk-lite kitsch & MOR R&B drivel..

'Democrazy' is one o' the most cringeworthy things P was ever involved in..

I think it's the best album that Prince produced for another artist in the 90s.And yes,it is waaaayyyyy better than 'GCS2000' and Prince's own 'New Power Soul'.

those are my two favorite songs from this album

That album is what started me as a Prince/CK fan in the 1st place.

Grooooovy Drama is the highlight moment of that album.

I love that song! Why didn't they release it a single and promote the hell out of it??

You can get it very cheap in amazon. Its better than The Woman I am.
Very interesting album. Graham play bass in some tracks.

most of that whole album is GREAT!

Hair
Drama
Journey 2 the center of u'r heart
come 2 my house

this combined with NPS made a great combo for Prince and Chaka (they appear on each other's album)..ya'll fakers hating on that era know you would lose your minds if he played come on, the one, until u'r in my arms again in concert
(i purposely left of gcs2000 )
