keep the funk alive! listen to the new bootsy collina cd! it is a bit commercial but it is great. and it looks like there are 2 songs in it, where prince is involved.

More details,please! Has it been released already? Do you have a tracklist? Give us the scoop!!

I hope the album will be better than the shitty single "Play with Bootsy"

Here's the tentative track list (according to a preview CD and eastwest's press release - everything may still change):

Play With Bootsy:
Play With Bootsy: featuring Kelli Ali (Sneaker Pimps)
Dance To The Music: feat. Chris Walker
Lovegangsta: feat. Snoop Dogg
A Life For Da Sweet Thing: feat. Seeed
Pressin' On: feat. Chuck D, Professor Griff, Terminator X
Soul Sista: feat. Fat Joe
Groove Eternal: feat. Chris Walker, Bobby Womack
Don't Let 'Em: feat. Snoop Dogg, Rosie Gaines, Till Brönner

Where is the detail that suggests Prince is involved?

Welcome back Lady Miss Kier

Much love Pochacco

Prince isn't involved. I've heard bad things about this album sadly, a real letdown for P-Funk fans. I'll check it out when availability spreads outside of Germany though.

Advance word is: Euro-techno. I'm very UNexcited.

NO there isn't.

Essence said:

I'll Buy it but I'm not expecting Much.Bootsy is more of a Side-Cat with Various People especially over the past Decade&Change.

Unfortunately, he's following Carlos Santana's lead. See my response on Santa's new CD thread.

ok, i must admit it is much more commercial than p-funk. there is a lot of rap in it and it has not the power like the last one "fresh outa p funk university" because bootsy is not realy present. he just let s the others play. that s why it is not homogeneously. i must say it is not his best.
here is a artist featered as "one" (song 6+7) though it sounds very much like prince i also think it is not him. but these are good basik funky songs to party.
at you should give bootsy a try. respect.

Bootsy even quotes Prince
Body don't wanna quit gotta get another hit...

very cool cd

Play with Bootsy is a super funky cd 2 own y'all,
Rosie gaines also sings some lyrics on it...There's ya Prince connection if u need one

Shame the track with Public Enemy from pre-release didn't make final album. Maybe he's aiming for MTV play and didn't want to prejudice his chances?

c'mon
check out track 7 "groove eternal"
bootsy rocks like morris day and the time.
this track is funky as hell...yaaawww.

He is working with Snoop Dogg&that alone is more MTV than what PE is about.

Well if the new album stinks... you can always go back and get "Fresh Outta P University" (it seems like this album was ignored really) coz it ain't half bad! I really liked some of the tracks... although its a bit too slick in terms of production (like "Hey Man, Smell My Finger").

"Wind Me Up" always Cracks me Up Bootsy had the Rapper say oh Genius is the Word to Describe Him.I've never heard a Song where somebody Proclaims Somebody like that in the song.dug the cut with MC Lyte.it was very Polished Produced the cut that sounds just like En Vouge's"Free Your Mind".dug the James Brown part.

I agree. I'm still kicking myself for not seeing Deee-Lite on their final tour circa 1994.
