What I did for nasty lyrics before Prince We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Martha & The Vandellas Motoring was pretty nasty for its time. | |

BlowFly (aka Clarence Reid) was a pioneer of blue lyrics. "The Original Dirty Rapper."

I remembering hearing Blowfly. My great grandma played that album and I was cracking up. I was like 12 when I heard his material. It was about Zodiac signs. | |

millie jackson was before prince, didn't she? didn't she pioneer the "raps" like prince does at the end of 'do me baby'? only she was usually funnier, or at least funny on purpose. | |

No, he certainly didn't. Nastiness dates to the earliest days of rock 'n' roll -- and even before that. I got a funny feeling that someone played Get the Knack for him, though. That album was a smash in 1979 -- broke the record for going gold. (A record that was previously held by the Beatles.) And you can definitely hear similar elements in Dirty Mind -- Sister and When You Were Mine have a very similar vibe (though The Knack never got as dirty as Prince did with Sister and WYWM was a little "softer"). We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
