He turned the double entendre on it's head, where the naughty message was at the forefront and the more spiritual meaning hidden underneath. It was about striving for excellence in all your endeavors "cream rises to the top". Genius.
You are 100% right. You just have to listen carefully to the lyrics to know he's referring to himself. He even says in an interview mini concert he was looking in a mirror when he wrote this.
Thanks for reacting to this track. Prince was a genius. Everyone from back in the day knows it. Now you do too. Keep going. Prince has a deep discography.
Sadly SAVAGELY TRUTHFULLY it's truly very strange to that people still don't appreciate or even know PRINCE ROGERS NELSON nowadays LITERALLY I was there from the very beginnings 8TRACK TAPE of the "FOR YOU" album 11yrs old summer time sleeping by my cousin's house. Subsequently being gifted everything PRINCE ROGERS NELSON put out after musically. I never MISSED a ALBUM released by PRINCE. Going to my 1st concert at 13yrs Old CONTROVERSY world tour equally never MISSING a LIVE PERFORMANCE of PRINCE in my STATE or surrounding states. 💻Nowadays more than ever before the information is a ⌨key stroke away🖥 regarding PRINCE ROGERS NELSON but people tend to emotionally be amazed by his greatness. With respect I've seen MICHAEL JACKSON LIVE at 13yrs old or 14yrs old as well during his "OFF THE WALL" TOURING era as well as RICK JAMES "FIRE IT UP" TOUR and FIRE and DESIRE TOUR with TINA MARIE amongst so many others. PRINCE ROGERS NELSON was truly amazingly powerfully the most spectacularly talented spiritually uplifting performer I've ever seen with REAL RESPECT for others. Thank GOD for ☔PRINCE ROGERS NELSON 🎶
OMG, I've loved Prince from day one. My first Prince tape (yes tape), was called "Dirty Minds", now it'll make you blush.lol. My fav Album is 1999, then Purple Rain. But there all 🔥 FIRE. You can't go wrong with any of them. He was way before his time. R.I.P. PRINCE❤
🙏🏽My first introduction to PRINCE ROGERS NELSON was the 8TRACK version of the Album "FOR YOU" I was 11yrs Old spending the summer by my cousin's house. It was for my old cousin but "My younger cousin let me borrow it" Lol. I never looked back Literally buying and being gifted everything PRINCE released musically even purchasing magazines etc...etc. I attended my first PRINCE LIVE show at 14yrs it was CONTROVERSY world tour long before the storm of fairweather friends that came out after the movie "PURPLE RAIN" an subsequent concerts touring. My personal PURPLE RAIN was the DIRTY MIND album. I would ride around on my bike with my BOOM BOX blasting my casettape morning noon and night. Thank God for introducing me to PRINCE ROGERS NELSON artistry at a very early stage in my life. He became the soundtrack of my Life never missing a LIVE performance in my state or the surrounding area. I equally watched each and every television appearance including his 1st SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE appearances of the DIRTY MIND album era. 💐RIP PRINCE ROGERS NELSON🔮 truly amazingly powerfully inspiring a ☔BLESSING🎶 to me and the world.
He was superb songwriter for himself and many other famous artists. Cop old school slang : to get hold of : catch, capture also : purchase. 2 slang : steal, swipe. 3 : adopt
Here are the classic Prince albums that contain the hits many people know: FOR YOU (1978) PRINCE (1979) DIRTY MIND (1980) CONTROVERSY (1981) 1999 (1982) PURPLE RAIN (1984) AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY (1985) PARADE: MUSIC FROM UNDER THE CHERRY MOON (1986) SIGN 'O' THE TIMES (1987) LOVESEXY (1988) BATMAN Sdtk (1989) GRAFFITI BRIDGE (1990) DIAMONDS AND PEARLS (1991) O(+> (aka LOVE SYMBOL album) (1992) THE HITS/THE B-SIDES (1993) THE BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE EP (credited to the name O(+>) (1994) 1-800-NEW-FUNK (compilation credited to the name O(+>) (1994) COME (1994) THE GOLD EXPERIENCE (credited under the name O(+>) (1995) EMANCIPATION (credited under the name O(+>) (1996) NEW POWR SOUL (credited under the name New Power Generation) (1998) RAVE UN2 THE JOY FANTASTIC (credited under the name O(+>) (1999) MUSICOLOGY (2004) 3121 (2006) PLANET EARTH (2007) LOTUSFLOW3R/MPLSOUND/ELIXIR (2009) ART OFFICIAL AGE (2014) ORIGINALS (posthumous album featuring demos of songs Prince wrote for others that became hits) (2019) Prince released a total of 45 albums. 39 under his own name, 3 under the NPG name, 1 under name NPG Orchestra , and 2 jazz fusion instrumental albums under the name Madhouse. What I listed above are the albums containing songs that were played on the radio, on music video channels, and/or heavily streamed. Prince also produced albums for his protege's Vanity 6, The Time, and Carmen Electra that received heavy rotation and modest to great sales.
This wasn't a song about sex. He stated in an interview that he was looking in the mirror when he wrote this song. He was talking about himself, and how the best is always on top. He was also stating that if you are good at what you do don't stop rise to the top. The song was more about self esteem.
Prince wrote the song while looking in the mirror as a sort of pep talk before working on this this album. This was a Mimi comeback for him back to the top of the charts. “Cream always rises to the top” and old saying and the theme of this song.
Prince was a musical prodigy from a young age. Just FYI. If he wanted to, he could (and once and a while did) play every single instrument necessary for an album. He wasn't just 3 parts of music he did (Producer, Writer, Singer) he was much more than that. I know this vid was from a year ago, or more, but thought I'd add my 2 cents.
I’m sure someone already said this, but if not… he sang, danced, played a bunch of instruments, wrote his songs AND a ton more for other artists, produced his music, wrote/produced/starred in his own movies, fought against the machine and won back his own masters, developed a way to distribute and sell his own records WITHOUT the machine before artists started using the Internet to do so (ie, Chance the Rapper)… LISTENNNNN! There will NEVER be another Prince! 🥰
The song is actually about himself being the cream of the crop basically, but it plays on another meaning obviously lol that is the genius that is prince....
Yes diamonds and pearls and I guy that was interested in me gave the CASSETTE TAPE of most beautiful girl in the world! Wont ever forget that. For those curious....it Didnt help....just liked him as a friend lol...i was 15 or 16! Lol
For many songs in this era (Gett Off being another), he did extended videos. Mini-movies. This is a clip of some of that extended video, which did have a bit of a "plot."
Requesting 'U Got The Look' next. It's an absolute banger that often gets overlooked. Others off the beaten track are 'Baby, I'm a Star', 'Controversy', 'Daddy Cool' and 'Do Me, Baby'. That last one is...er...something else.
There isn't a Prince song called 'Daddy Cool'. There's Daddy Pop (which doesn't have a music video) and Melody Cool, which is mostly sung by Mavis Staples, and just 'Cool' sung by Morris Day.
To cop something is to get something. It's English slang. Cop a load of this. Get a load of this. Sometimes see this. See a load of this. Or sometimes to get an eyeful, as in a naked lady, cop a load of this.
The song is about Prince not sex. The song implies sexual connotation, but reality Prince wrote this song looking in a mirror it is about Prince. Like Cream rises to the top (that infers to being the best) or Prince "makes the rules and breaks them all." The cop line-I believe it's short for copulate.
Prince did a ton of raunchy songs but this wasn’t one of them. He’s actually talking about himself…how the best always rises to the top.
That is absolutely true!
He turned the double entendre on it's head, where the naughty message was at the forefront and the more spiritual meaning hidden underneath. It was about striving for excellence in all your endeavors "cream rises to the top". Genius.
so true!! he apparently wrote the lyrics looking at himself in the mirror..or something like that. Talent powerhouse!
You are 100% right. You just have to listen carefully to the lyrics to know he's referring to himself. He even says in an interview mini concert he was looking in a mirror when he wrote this.
Censors tend to have the naughtiest minds
They'll claim to see and hear innuendos anywhere and everywhere
the real "nasty" of this song is the composition, that simple guitar riff, bass, drum and keys are sick! prince is legend.
Your facial expressions are priceless! Prince nasty? Only the best kind of nasty! He is amazing, and I am thrilled you are reacting to his music!
FACTUAL STATEMENT OF POWERFUL TRUTH "NOBODY" *(WAS or IS) BETTER 💐RIP PRINCE ROGERS NELSON ♡(+>
Thanks for reacting to this track. Prince was a genius. Everyone from back in the day knows it. Now you do too. Keep going. Prince has a deep discography.
The newer stuff is the greatest, aside from Sign O The Times! Dreamer, Colonized Mind, SO relevant and important.
This was the number one song in the country back in 1991.
U got a “Dirty Mind”. Look hard at the lyrics. The song is about him! U always have to delve deeper than the surface with this Prince.
This song is awesome. Watch Gett Off next.
Yesss!
Either the official video or the live performance from the video awards...both will blow his mind.😉😈💜

Comedian Loni Love once said, "A lot of men got some booty they didn't deserve because of Prince and his music."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 facts
PRINCE!!! My man... I wish! Lol... he could've had me & everyone I knew back then, hell... now too if he was still with us... Freaky freak freak 😝😋🤣
Prince said he wrote this song while looking in the mirror 😂 true story

Oh wow! Great song. This is the Prince I grew up listening to. Cant believe I was listening to this as a kid. Lol
SO GLAD YOU REACTED TO THIS! I HAVE SUGGESTED THIS TO OTHERS AND YOU ARE THE FIRST IVE SEEN! YOU ROCK MAN!
“You will cop” means you will get.
“I copped a smack on the nose” I got a smack on the nose
It’s short for copulation aka to have sex… old school slang is cop
Prince Pure Genius.
He also wrote and directed and produced Under a Cherry moon.
Oh we all know PRINCE was nothing but awesomeness!!!!
This one always gets at least 2 replays every time I listening to it.
This wasn't a song about sex. He stated in an interview that he was looking in the mirror when he wrote this song. He was talking about himself, and how the best is always on top. He was also stating that if you are good at what you do don't stop rise to the top. The song was more about self esteem.
100%...

Cream, kiss, raspberry beret and controversy are solid gold.
Listen to the double cd Sign O’ The Times, straight through. What a genius.
ooh, one of my faves! You've got to do Sheila E The Glamourous Life.
Ah - i have some great memories with this song. Damn i miss prince and Michael

You will cop means you will get IT. The first 3 albums he did by himself. Music and singing. And he could play over 20 instruments. All self taught
Please react to Gett Off, that is Prince in all his Nasty glory
Please react to Prince Live - Play that funky Music - Hollywood Swinging - Fantastic Voyage 4/28/11
“You will cop” means you’ll get it 😁
maybe like Cop a Feel??
I’m sure someone already said this, but if not… he sang, danced, played a bunch of instruments, wrote his songs AND a ton more for other artists, produced his music, wrote/produced/starred in his own movies, fought against the machine and won back his own masters, developed a way to distribute and sell his own records WITHOUT the machine before artists started using the Internet to do so (ie, Chance the Rapper)… LISTENNNNN! There will NEVER be another Prince! 🥰
The song is actually about himself being the cream of the crop basically, but it plays on another meaning obviously lol that is the genius that is prince....
Some other great prince songs are Diamonds and Pearls, Get Off, and The Most Beautiful Girl In The Word.
Yes diamonds and pearls and I guy that was interested in me gave the CASSETTE TAPE of most beautiful girl in the world! Wont ever forget that. For those curious....it Didnt help....just liked him as a friend lol...i was 15 or 16! Lol
Cop is a 70’s slang term for gettin’ it …”i copped her number”
Old slang …It’s short for copulation
My fav Prince song !!! :)
Love this video... He done more videos with Diamond & Pearl- you need to see those 😉
I love this made my day thanku special holla much love and God bless x
Yes, Prince can play something like 22 instruments
This is the short intro to the song. There is an extended intro version that is great.
For many songs in this era (Gett Off being another), he did extended videos. Mini-movies. This is a clip of some of that extended video, which did have a bit of a "plot."
Requesting 'U Got The Look' next. It's an absolute banger that often gets overlooked.
Others off the beaten track are 'Baby, I'm a Star', 'Controversy', 'Daddy Cool' and 'Do Me, Baby'. That last one is...er...something else.
There isn't a Prince song called 'Daddy Cool'. There's Daddy Pop (which doesn't have a music video) and Melody Cool, which is mostly sung by Mavis Staples, and just 'Cool' sung by Morris Day.
@@MarcusJayMusic you're right. Too much Boney M on the mind 😅
@@s12856 All good :) Which one did you mean?
@@MarcusJayMusic Daddy Pop
To cop something is to get something. It's English slang. Cop a load of this. Get a load of this. Sometimes see this. See a load of this. Or sometimes to get an eyeful, as in a naked lady, cop a load of this.
One of his best songs you should also listen to erotic City
Like, Cop a Feel... Touch.... etc..
Be prepared to be knocked all the way back. 😎
Toby Keith “hope on the rocks” Or “American soldier”
Check out Batdance. He did all the instruments for it.
Now react to Little Red Corvette official music video
I am not from the US, so I thought "you will cop" just meant the girl is well, in control.
Loved Prince!
Great party track
Gett off and sexy MF by Prince are so good!!
The song is about Prince not sex. The song implies sexual connotation, but reality Prince wrote this song looking in a mirror it is about Prince. Like Cream rises to the top (that infers to being the best) or Prince "makes the rules and breaks them all." The cop line-I believe it's short for copulate.
Not copulate 😂 Cop, as in get.
Dude, check out DANCE 4 ME by Prince in Paris
prince = master
This is my favorite!
To be blunt, the way it’s used “you will Cop” cop is short for copulation which means:to have sex. It’s old slang that most people won’t catch
Check out hillbilly bone by Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins! I think you could relate 😂
prine always had the classiest women on mtv
Cop means "to receive."
Do gett off! By Prince 🙊😲😁
First! I didn't know you did this!!!!
Cop means you will get some
Cop = Receive
Please, react to Prince- Diamonds and Pearls.
Men, I hope you got the message : no need to be tall and muscular to be the hottest guy in the room.
Lenny Kravitz is similar to Prince. Both perfectionists & both play multiple instruments. Be well.
Holla please do 7 days on Elvis the King 🤴 🙏
Cop=get it
Have you ever seen the video of prince videos when he was a kid
Hi, I would like you to react to the Guns n Roses Locomotive, thanks man
No way people in these reaction videos never heard these songs.
Gett off , Seven
yo
You will cop is short for copulate which the official dictionary definition is to engage in sexual intercourse. So now you know! Great reaction.
It means to get something 🙄🤣
@@TheKatdawg65no in this song it is old 70’s slang Cop for copulation to have sex she is absolutely right
