Perhaps. However, if you included Vanity 6, then the answer would be no. "Nasty Girl" wipes the floor with "In My House".

In My House is a jam and a half, but "Nasty Girl" has one of the best hooks of any Prince song, ever.

It sounds like a great Prince song.

I love Rick James, but he made a lingerie clad all girl group and a pinstripe suit gangster looking band that featured do-rags...sounds familiar

Well then the answer really is no. I don't even think that is the Mary Jane Girls' best song. I like "Candy Man" more than "In My House".

It's a funky track, but I prefer "Nasty Girl" and "Sex Shooter".

There's no doubt The Mary Jane Girls were more talented than Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 but I like The Mary Jane Girls' music the least of the three.

"In My House" isn't my favorite song by The Mary Jane Girls either. My favorite is "Boys", then "Candy Man".

"In My House" was FONKY. But I liked "All Night Long" better. As far as the comparison to Vanity/Appolonia 6 goes, I would say that "Nasty Girls" and "Sex Shooter" are just as hot. The only difference is the Mary Jane Girls are better singers.

Isn't this really another Prince vs Rick James thread since they were the real musicians behind the music?I doubt if any members of both groups ever picked up an instrument. That said, I prefer Boys over In My House, but would pick Nasty Girls overall.

Well, actually, Rick already had the idea of doing the Mary Jane Girls BEFORE P hit with Vanity6. When Denise was dating Rick, he told her he was going to put a girl group around her. More than likely, she told P this when she hooked up with P. Similar to P beating Rick to the punch with one of Rick's concept with the film Purple Rain. Rick had talked about doing this musical film in 82 called "Alice In Ghettoland" which would feature himself, Teena, the Stone City Band, etc.

Well..... SORTA.

Rick didn't actually play the Bass on his recordings or The Mary Jane Girls.

but who knows when Prince had the idea? lol

It just looks suspicious--Process & The Do Rags and the Mary Jane Girls.

But Prince has a talent for incorporating others' ideas into his own thing, so maybe HE stole it like you say.

Actually, I heard of both Rick's bands before Prince's! Rick was slightly more mainstream at the time I think.

In 1981? 'Street Songs' vs. 'Controversy'? Slightly is an understatement.

I'll admit that Process and the Do Rags may have been Rick copying after Prince and Rick even started dressing like Prince in later years. However, Rick already had protegees before Prince. In 1979, Rick's second year, he had Teena Marie and in 1980 had a separate Stone City Band album out. Prince's first protegee act was The Time in 1981.

Also, Rick came out the box with an outrageous stage presence. Prince wasn't really outrageous until he went on the tour with Rick. I can believe that Rick had thought of The Mary Girls first because he had already done other things first that Prince later did.

Is that when Rick's bands came out? I figured I knew who Prince was at the time, but not the Time & Vanity. But I only heard of Prince when 1999 came out.

Rick was definitely an original. I think the whole mix of rock & funk that Prince gets so much credit for was called "funk punk" by Rick first.

No doubt Prince learned a few things from him (maybe what NOT to do as well!).

Rick James and Protegees:

Rick James - 1978
Teena Marie - 1979
Stone City Band - 1980
The Mary Jane Girls - 1982

Also, Rick had started producing other artists in 1982...The Temptations "Standing On The Top" and Kleeer "She Said She Loves Me" in 1983 beating Prince to the punch in that category as well. Prince produced Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls" in 1984.

He also discovered Bobby Nunn in 1982 (which sounded just like Prince) lol

Prince and Protegees:

Prince - 1978
The Time - 1981
Vanity 6 - 1982

Actually The Isley Brothers had both of them beat first with a mix of funk and rock. Parliament had them beat first also with the protegees.

sure, lots of people did that before, but the new wave/punk and R&B style was kind of their domain, right?
