Love this song. In fact , I just love his music. Thank you.

Didn't Rick write that song about actress Linda Blair? Either way it's a great song, one of my faves by him.

I was shocked when I read that it was about Linda.

The 1st thought that crossed my mind was Not that possessed bitch

That got to be one of the SLICKEST bass-lines ever!!!!

"Cold Blooded" introduced a whole new Rick James sound....stripped down electrofunk.This was much different than the songs on 'Street Songs' and 'Throwin' Down'.

It has been a loooong time since I saw this on vinyl. You think it would be more common.

I stay playin my cassette!

Rick's last great cut, off his last great album.

A Slick Rick Cut where he started to introduce techno Funk into the mix.

Love this one! And, yes, about Linda Blair. He saw cold-blooded as a compliment. Linda sure loved those rock star Ricks. First Springfield (when she was 15-years-old), then James.

Mine just arrived yesterday. I got it used for like $9 on amazon. I really want the CD but can't find anything under $150, so I got it on Vinyl instead. My cassette wore out years ago.

In fact there are 5 used for sale right now ranging from $10 to $15.

Damn, good call. I just expect it to turn up eventually.. I'm in no rush.

Didn't realize the CD went for that much. You KNOW something needs to be re-released when the market price (demand) is that high.

It was his last good song. His last good album was street songs. Throwin' down was just a musical cheap rehash of street songs.

I would say "Moonchild" was his last GREAT song.

Cold Blooded is still a great album too! Ya kiddin me?

I prefer Cold Blooded to Throwin' Down for sure.

The title track is my favorite Rick James song.

Throwin down is a classic

with songs like

"dance wit me" "standing on the top" "she blew my mind(69 times)"


the cold blooded album isnt even close to it

"Cold Blooded"

"Ebony Eyes"

"Unity"

Those are all better I truly feel.

cold blooded and unity are the only good songs on that album imo

throwin down still has that classic rick james groove

minneapolisFunq said:

well now we're talking because "Ebony Eyes" is my favorite cut. You're not feelin it?

Cinnie said:

I used to have it on tape, too

Ebony Eyes, P.I.M.P the Simp, New York

With only like 60% of the cassette cover being the square record album art, then the titles listed on the bottom.

i like rick james when hes going funking insane, some of his slow jams are cool but i prefer the fun stuff
