Baby Mama has been around for decades when i was a teen a brutha would say "i need to drop some duckets off at my baby mama's house". and i'm forty now.

I have not been impressed with any lp after SOTT . i respect his creative business moves more. Oh' yeah i dug the BMST, LS & D&P but not as a hold.

anything with this on it has no or lil appeal so i haven't heard a complete or a complete album since the return of the name prince to this day.

Naive? Innocent? Hell no. Out of touch about some things? Possibly.

Then again y'all may have a point. For example in the song The One U Wanna C he says "I know you ain't no concubine" then proceeds to say things like "I got a lotta money" and "I like pretty thangs"...not "ladies" mind you, but "thangs"

or maybe I'm reading too much into it?

StarMon said:

Ah, so you fall into the category of those who's interest has waned for some time???

I'm not much older than you but the term baby mama has not been around for decades in these parts...where you from?

babynoz...you know me....i'm a pretty big prince fan right? we paid $312.10 to see him in Vegas, i've seen him live about 25 times in the past ten years.....but the main reason i have stuck with the org is this forum

i'm always looking for new music and the people on here have turned me on to some great music so i spend most of my time here trying to discover new music and share thoughts about music from the past

so far, every time i seem to post a negative comment about the new release, i get insulted and it seems more negative comments are thrown my way....just because i don't like Planet Earth at all

it's almost like i'm insulting the fans, instead of prince's music

and i'll never understand that kind of fan.....it makes me feel like i'm in high school again or something

Moonbeam said:

Yep, I have to say that I agree with Moonbeam. I enjoy most of the cd, but I don't like Future Baby Mama and Mr. Goodnight is a bit lame too. As for the rest, I think it's quite good.

I really like Prince's new album. PE is better than his last two albums IMO.

PurpleCharm said:

kindof diggin on 2 and 3. although i enjoyed planet earth.. my interest musically is elsewhere besides prince. but that doesn't mean i don't enjoy this place..i like the non:prince side

He sure is. The only funky thing on the album is the funky disco type track "Chelsea Rodgers",which is my favorite on the album.



Oh yes there is! That damn "Mr. Goodnight" is horrible and embarrassing. It sounds kinda sellout, radio friendly, shit hoppish and you know how I feel about shit hop. If a songs even resembles shit hop in the slightest, the artist that recorded it needs to be drug into a back alley somewhere and have his ass beaten severely.




We always did have similar tastes. Those are really the only three songs that I really like on the album.

I love "Chelsea Rodgers". Of course, you know how I feel about disco. Disco is what changed music for the better and the further people drifted away from disco (meaning the late 80s when things got slower and slower tempo....disco was nothing more than uptempo funk and the funk in the early 80s was a more uptempo funk than the 1970s), music turned to absolute bullshit in the late 80s when the tempo got away from "disco speed". Disco should be given the highest honor for the betterment of music.

I love "Somewhere Here On Earth" better than any of the slow jams he's done in recent years. It has a sexy "spacey" feel to it. As I said in the "Prince: Music and More" section, the song reminds me a little of Rick James' "Spacey Love".

I love the sound of "Future Baby Mama". However, as great as the song sounds, that damn ghetto ass shit hop title just makes me want to put my foot so far up Prince's ass that it would come out his throat.




I can deal with "Guitar", even though it ain't one of Prince's greatest rock songs. I even can kinda halfway deal with "Planet Earth". But those other rock songs, have those damn accoustic guitars on them that make the songs sound depressing. Those damn accoustic guitars almost make them sound country. Hell, I want to hear Prince sounding like Prince, not Prince sounding like Buck Owens and Roy Clark a'pickin' and a'grinnin' on "Hee Haw" with an ole hound dog laying at their feet.

That's what happens when Prince starts getting all these damn diverse fan groups. I've read threads over in the "Prince: Music and More" section of people asking when Prince would do a country album. Oh hell naw, hopefully never. They try to take Prince as far away as what he originally started out as....a funk/rock artist. Those fans need to go buy them a damn Conway Twitty CD, put in in their pickup truck with the Confederate Flag painted in the back window, and spit Skoal while they listen to it. Prince needs to stay away from anything resembling country.

Yes, tha wander years .

I don't bitch and/or complain for him to release a certain genre of music to appease the masses.

Be it Prince or whom ever, If their music ain't hit'n ..it ain't hit'n. I don't dwell on it, ..i just move on.

There's not one recording artist dead or alive who has me strung out on their music to where i don't dig another's music as well. like some folx over there in PM&M.


I'm from the Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex, I can date the term "my baby's mama" back to '83 -'84 at the earliest and "my baby's daddy"as well.

i've listened to 2 or 3 tracks.

SoulAlive said:

You know Purple Rains a Country song right?

EmbattledWarrior said:

In what country?

Moonbeam said:

I guess the U.S. lol
Prince just masqueraded it, with some Linn Drums and synths
But yah Prince got the ideaand the chord progressions from Bog Segar, who was following him around tour. According to Fink, Prince wondered the appeal to it. Cause segar had a massive audience. Fink said to Prince, maybe you should write a song like that and you'll completely cross over.
Low and behold he wrote purple rain and it launched him into superstardom
Aint that a bitch? A country song made Prince Rich
The Irony of life

EmbattledWarrior said:

If you mean the guy who sang "Like A Rock", Bob Seger (you flubbed the spelling) and the Silver Bullet Band, they're not a country band. PR is, more specifically, a ballad. It's just urban rock & roll. A kind of heartlands rock & roll that appealed to white people because they could sing along with it. Maybe this style crossed over into a newer slicker kind of country that was popular at the time, but it really had a lot more in common with Motown and Northern Soul around the Great Lakes area. Makes sense since Seger is also from Detroit.

I will grant PR brings to mind Seger's tunes with their overexaggerated chorus and guitar solo, but I don't see anything "country" in it.

PFunkjazz said:

you have to listen to Country Music to see it.
I didn't see it until last year when i ventured off into Country and noticed that the chord progression P used, was exactly similar to the country style, I ask my vocal coach about it. He says that the progression is a standard in Country Music
Now, the soundds P used to acompany the progression may be rooted somewhere else.

But the foundation is country,

YEEEEE HAWWWWW!!!!! Shit fire!!!!!

Little Charlotte she's as purty as the angels when they sang
I'd like to see her on the front porch in a swang
Just a swangin'....swangin'
She was swangin'....swangin'

Giddy up, a oomp, uh a oomp, uh a mow mow
Giddy up, a oomp, uh a oomp, uh a mow mow
Elvira....Elvira

Cause when we git behiiiind closed doors
And she let's her hair hang down
And she makes me glad that I'm a man
Cause no one knows what goes on behind closed doors

YEEEEE HAWWWWW!!!!!

I'm just 'a spittin' skoal and a whoopin' and a' stompin' with my shit kickers on. I'm gonna find me a purty young gal and eat me some stankin' ass pussy.
