http://www.youtube.com/wa...earch=zapp /peace Manki See this is why I'm seriously addicted to the 'net'!! Thank you for posting this!! I've told some old school folks that Roger had love for Prince, who of course told me I was wrong. This video is documented proof!! Roger gives a shout-out to Prince specifically!! I just love having proof that I am right!! Especially when it comes to Prince!!!  [Edited 4/10/06 22:07pm] | |

Zapp [Warner Bros., 1980]
"More Bounce to the Ounce," exactly. Like Bootsy's other funk alternative, Roger Troutman is a bit light--even when he grooves rather than croons he bounces rather than whomps. What makes him a smash with the black audience where the Sweat Band is barely a swoosh is his drolly mechanical detachment--especially when he turns on the vocoder, he could be Gary Numan with ants in his pants, or Kraftwerk on the one. C+ Robert Christgau All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Robert Christgau Roger didn't use a vocoder, he played the talkbox. | |

C+ Robert Christgau Well , so far for Robert's P.O.V. Obviously it's your issue too . I saw a post from you sometime ago , claiming that Roger created a sound , not songs . So what's your beef with Roger ? . . . [Edited 4/11/06 3:18am] | |
