Hey what was the name of the album that had the songs Rick James wrote while imprisoned in the 90s? I haven't heard any of his albums after the 1980's.

Thanks.

Ghetto Life. My favorite Rick James song.

Sorry. The album Rick wrote in jail was Urban Rhapsody.

What is the latest-released Rick James album you actually endorse, O?

I think if I had to spend time in solitude, my mind would be racing with musical ideas. I thought maybe prison could have brought it out of him?

Well, I pretty much love all his albums from Come Get It! to Throwin' Down. Cold Blooded has its moments, but it's not as great as his previous releases. I don't really remember liking much of Glow, and the releases after that (The Flag, Wonderful, Urban Rhapsody & Deeper Still) are complete rubbish

Come on now Funkenstein... we're usually on the same page, but 'Urban Rhapsody' is far from rubbish. I think that album was brilliant, the songwriting was good, the music was dope, it sounded like Ricks old style wit a new breath of life. It was funky, it was smooth, it was complete, for my money, pound for pound its a classic, imo.

I was hoping it would be better than The Flag and Wonderful, that's all I ask for

Can U imagine "Never Say U Love Me Again" with the original intended Teena Marie doing those vocals? It would have been "Fire & Desire" Pt. 2!!

That song will NEVER die

Yeah, I know,but I guess they had an argument or something, Rick got pissed, and called JoJo. The song came out good, but I think Teena would've killed it.
