3121 was straight. I dug that better than Musicology. This 20 ten album don't come close to 3121 imo. Don't laugh at my funk

Oh, I heard a sample of three of the songs and they sounded better than what he's been doing for years. That's why I'll get a friend to make a copy of it for me because I definately want it. I just refuse to pay money for that last song. Andy is a four letter word. | |

"Neo stool" is my new word to go with "shit hop". I've noticed if motherfuckers aren't doing shit hop, then they're doing neo stool. It's like they just have to do something boring. It's fucking rediculous. Where the hell did people's rhythm go? It's like a new generation of Lawrence Welk except this time, it's the black version. Andy is a four letter word. | |

yeah,the last song is pretty terrible There's about two other songs that don't really move me,but the majority of the album is surprisingly strong. | |

I've bought all of his albums, most of which on the day of their release. My favorite on "3121" was "Love" and I enjoyed most of the album. Of course, he had to put a sellout track like "Incense and Candles" on it though, which made me taste vomit in my mouth. But that's what I'm saying though. I'm getting sick of paying for tracks like that which have a sound like the stuff on the radio....a sound that I wish would just go away. When I listen to the CD, I hurry up and hit the skip button before that song starts because when I hear stuff like that, it just puts me in a shitty depressed mood. Andy is a four letter word. | |

lol...I'm happy to report that,on the new album,Prince is sticking to his classic 80s sound.I don't hear alot of "modern" shit hop nonsense You're gonna be surprised when you finally hear the album.
I think Old School artists should follow Jamiroquai's lead and pretend that hip-hop never happened.Stick with a funky sound.Keep it retro and "back in the day".Why try to appeal to a younger audience that doesn't really care about you anyway? | |

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! EXACTLY!
If there are those in the younger generation that have the good taste to like good music, that's fine. I love them, welcome them with open arms and applaud them for having good taste. But to try to get a hit with the majority of the younger generation that was born into the shit hop and neo stool era and that's all they know is rediculous. They could give less than a damn about him. To them, he's that "fag" from the 1980s.
Rick James fans think I was hard on "Deeper Still" but Rick James, as well as The Barkays and any other older group that sells out to today's sound are desperate for income these days. Someone like Prince though, who has millions of loyal fans around the world who never left him throughout the years and buy every single release on the day of it's release, is just plain greedy and downright hypocritical. He preaches about the state of today's music but then turns around and records tracks that fit in with it. That's playing both ends of the stick hoping to become a big star in the mainstream world again while still holding on to his older fans for backup in case he doesn't become a big star again. He's got more than enough money and a big enough fanbase of loyal fans to practice what he preaches, put out nothing but great music, give the shit hop and neo stool lovers the finger if they don't like it, and still live comfortably.
I've read descriptions of the new album from orgers that it sounds like what "MPLShit" should have sounded like....the Minneapolis Sound without an updated shit hop feel to it. It sounds like he finally got it right but he just has to continue playing both ends of the stick with some bullshit like that last track. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Exactly.
I wish someone would have told Madonna this during the making of the Candy albums. She really looked out of place trying to please the 106th & Park audience a while back. I wish someone would having told this to Michael during the making of Invincible before adding too many slow tracks on there.
At least it's not too late for Prince yet. I just hope he FINALLY wakes up, say the hell with the young generation for the time being, and fixed his relationship with his fans that remember him before the 1990's. | |

Andy, I suggest you give this infamous last track "Laydown" at least a chance. I doubt you will like it, because there is some resemblance of today's shit hop style, but imagine it a track by, let's say, Timbaland produced by the Prince of the early 1980s. In other words: even though I dislike the shit hop style and am pretty tired of it, this track has somehow kept me listening. It grabbed my interest in a way that I thought "if just shit hop was produced like this track all the time, it would be much more interesting to me". It is a weird, strange, hard-to-describe track, but this weirdness makes it a hit imo.
And you surely will like a lot of the other tracks. Thanks to the computer, you can still send "Laydown" to the trashcan. | |

Yeah, this one below was a snoozefest to me lol.
Though i'm always trying to be openminded for new work by artists, i couldn't help but skipping in a flash through that cd when listening at the shop. [Edited 7/15/10 13:41pm] | |

The truth of the matter is this wasn't even a new album. House Party(2007) was basically (2003) The Real Thing re released with 3 new tracks and a steppers remix of Glad You're My Lady. Of the 3 new tracks i thought the ballad Superstar was by far the best. Shonuff was okay. I can't even remember the name of the other track right now but it was the BarKays meet crunk. Fast forward to the upcoming new album which is called Live and More. I'm hoping it's a mixture of a live album with new tracks. We already know the new tracks is a remake of Return of the Mack as well as tracks with George Clinton, Chuck Brown, and Doug E. Fresh. I look forward to it. Don't laugh at my funk

Aha okay, thanx for that info ! Yeah, i remember when "The Real Thing" came out, but somehow never purchased it or checked those albumtracks. "Return of the Mack" could be sumth'n indeed with Chuck, Clint & Doug. We'll see lol ! | |

They could have left this one alone. I actually like Shonuff better from House Party. I surprised this is getting adds at AC Urban stations. I guess they have nothing to lose. Hell the old school artists rarely perform their new stuff live anyway. Don't laugh at my funk

Exactly! Listen to "Stuck Up" by Kwick or "Somethin' About You" by Ebonee Webb, "Take It Off" by Chocolate Milk and you'll hear the vast and astonishing similarities in their very Minneapolis-cloned Funk! Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up. | |

I recently posted a jam by Chocolate Milk called Blue Jeans. It sounded just like the BarKays. Ebonee Webb was tight. I wasn't that crazy about Kwick except for a few tunes. Don't laugh at my funk

Yeah, "Stuck Up" has that synth-line from the breakdown-part/Morris-Vanity-talk in The Time's "The Walk". "Somethin' About You" sounds like "Head". | |

Oh and how I wish they hadn't. Look, I'm going to be honest here... Jesus H. Christ what a steaming pile of dung.
... not that I'm surprised though. I just don't get it. Who are they trying to please with this? Younger kids won't get into this, because they have no idea who the Bar-Kays are, and older fans will just be disappointed as hell. You'd think they would realize this, but alas, no. On the Org since 2005.

I just keep my money, don't buy their new albums, stand back, and watch them fall on their face. Hey, if they want to waste their money making an album and lose it trying to capture an audience they'll never capture that doesn't give a damn about them, that's their choice. They don't have a herd of loony fams like Prince does that will kiss his ass no matter what he releases so they are just flying without a net. . . .
