“Who prince? Ain’t that a bitch? That skinny mutha fucker with the high voice, please... ain’t that a bitch! Who do I look baby? Yesterday’s fool?!” Cracks me up every time!!
I knew an asshole in Altoona PA named Bob George, in 1988, and I played this song in my head every time I was forced to interact with him. He thought I really liked him, but I was smiling at Prince the entire time.
My anniversary listen. “Bob” is former manager Bob Cavallo (with whom his relationship had soured) and “George”, is Nelson George, a music critic who had once championed Prince but then started trashing his music after Purple Rain.
One of the tightest,dirtiest,funkiest jams prince ever laid down ..watch the lovesexy live concert for a live version of this ..even just for his gold microphone/gun
Mark St. John the rumor at the time was Prince thought of if he had died, he'd be remembered by the last thing he did. So he shelved this album and created and released (unless it was in the process of being worked on, I personally don't know) Lovesexy. Hence the cover being right colored and him naked. Almost reborn in a sense. Again, I don't know how true it all is but would be something to think about. Of course a few choice tunes made it into Lovesexy
Louise X it’s basically a trope, a spoof of the buffoonery of it all, or how it’ll end up being just that...buffoonish. But I do think he was threatened by rap, because before rap it was HIS music that was revolutionary. Then rap came and Prince hit the wall, and nothing he ever wrote could be as brazen or shocking as rap was. Everyone can’t be on top forever
@@paisleyprincess7996 but rappers weren't musicians per se, Rap relevance was more as cultural representation then as art, it's a shame the culture turn it's back to musicians.
@@horrorpowerfilms9481 Well, times change and technology made it easier to do more with less. Sadly, Prince’s PP was obsolete...That’s just so sad. For all his innovation and forward-thinking, he never really anticipated that music would be created differently
@@paisleyprincess7996 yeah as product point of view there's always different ways to skip the hard work and talent, Prince innovation could not let him see that side of the equation. Technology is great, but the situation was a audience that was left behind, ignored by the media, sooner or later, people who din't knew anything about art became the consumer, intellectually was left a side, innovators were left behind, De la Soul, Public Enemy, Terence Trent Darby etc. even Spike Lee din't have hit movies like the gangsta films, think about it, a masterpiece like Malxcom X was a horrible failure and New Jack City was a mega hit.
Me too. My husband doesn't care for my prince collection ( he's stupid, my apologies) but he loves this song. Now put that suitcase down, and go in there and put on that new wig I bought you. No no no no the reddish BROWN one
My heart still aches... but it's hard not to laugh at lines like "who? Prince? That skinny muthaf**ka with the high voice?", and to quote Dolly Parton "laughter through tears is my favorite emotion".
I remember being in New York City in 1988 and inquiring about The Black Album at a local record shop. It felt kind of like a drug deal because the guy at the front desk looked around the room before reaching under the counter and pulling out a bootleg copy of the album on vinyl. "That'll be 15 bucks," he said, never making eye contact with me as he took my cash and put the album into a brown paper bag. I felt like such a gangsta! (But I was really glad to have the album and "Bob George" remains one of my favorite tracks, despite it's cartoon violence and over-the-top misogyny. "Gurl. Let me see you dance. You said you was funky."
Dutch radio played the bootleg after it was decided it wouldn’t be released.. I guess they had an advanced copy.. on the lovesexy tour Prince played Bob George and maybe another as part of a medley
OMG I AM A DIE HARD PRINCE FAN, I KNOW THIS IS HYSTERICAL, BUT I ADORE THIS SONG! HIM JAMMING IN HIS GUITAR!!!! AND THIS BEAT , DAM ! THE THANGS U CAN DO TO THIS!!!💜💜💜💜 BRILLIANCE
I remember seeing a recording of Prince's live performance of this. I think it was on a programme named 'Wired', or something like that (channel 4, late 80s / early 90s). It was really great watching this enacted along with the soundtrack by the artist himself. 👌🏾🎼🎼👏🏾
Wired, it was actually broadcast live from a concert in Germany Lovesexy Tour 1989 pretty sure with checking. I was lucky enough to go to the Wembley Arena gig of his European tour, wow it was a proper sound and visual epic. The man was ridiculously talented,
Prince should be getting mad acknowledgement for that....He was too ahead of his time Just like he laid the foundation for Internet music downloads and so forth He predicted it and changed the music industry for artist owning their own music All Black Music artist now and future should thank him for that...His Message was you owned us for far too long...Now it's Time for us too be free and own our own...sh...ya feel me?
Had a bootleg of this from Camden market back in the day. Buying (really, 'acquiring') music just isn't the same anymore. Better in some ways, but on the whole it's nowhere near as fun. Just no thrill to the chase when it's all on a plate.
Fun fact: He shelved his own album (the black album also known as the funk Bible)while getting a revelation after a bad trip of Ecstacy stating that the album was evil and demonic.
Evil and demonic and utterly spontaneous. It's not a secret that drugs were the bitter companion of many great musicians. Just think about jazz history. And Prince roots go deep in the same soil as jazz. Besides, I assume this was the time when he broke up with Wendy and Lisa and he was probably super disappointed. Maybe with himself too. But you can sense his soul in the black album, one of his masterpieces in my humble opinion.
Try eBay; I got 3 (yes, 3 lol) copies of The Black Album on CD, and all three were in outstanding, near mint condition! 8-) They weren't cheap, but it was worth it
30 years later... and still listening to this joint!! I remember being in berchtesgaden and shutting down a club with my section sergeant and playing the black album (my CD)while we drank real Absinthe!!
Sometime in the 2000's I found the "The Black Album" on CD at a second hand record shop. Held it in my hands and neglected to buy it. I always regretted that...🖤
Seems to me that there is some type of sinister connection between this Bob, or Bob Dobalina, as well as the connection with George Denbrough from IT (Who, consequently, is also known as Robert "Bob" Gray,,) What also adds to the sketchiness is how low Prince's voice was during the recording of this song, almost demonic even. And the fact that he said himself, "he was convinced that this particular album (rumored to initially be titled, "The Funk Bible.") was evil!" Prince also talked about an alleged demon that he called "Spooky Electric" I believe? in context, this song is a lot darker than it is just on the surface... crazy.

That is amazing information
Gangsta Rap before Gangsta Rap, Prince was ahead of it's time.
A word for Prince: incomparable.
The only band I know that can replicate his sound is Ween
It’s incomprehensible to me how he mastered so many instruments , mastered songwriting and singing too, blows my mind.
Not of this world
“Almond shape head ass” LMAOOOOO Prince had me cracking up on that 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂💀☠️💀☠️
Almond shaped ass is Nelson George the music critic.
Prince could roast
One of the tightest,dirtiest,funkiest jams prince ever laid down ..watch the lovesexy live concert for a live version of this ..even just for his gold microphone/gun

You're so right! Prince was, and will always be a musical genius! It's a shame to lose such a special person and musician at such an early age.
Prince is a genius
Yes indeed!!
No doubt !!!!!!
@Louise X no what
This song still holds up. I still laugh listening to the lyrics. Can I get a whoop whoop?

My fifth favorite Prince album. There could never have been a Lovesexy album without The Black Album.
Mark St. John the rumor at the time was Prince thought of if he had died, he'd be remembered by the last thing he did. So he shelved this album and created and released (unless it was in the process of being worked on, I personally don't know) Lovesexy. Hence the cover being right colored and him naked. Almost reborn in a sense. Again, I don't know how true it all is but would be something to think about. Of course a few choice tunes made it into Lovesexy
Mark St. John Indeed. He shoulda kept this one
Mark St. John plus, It’s well known that he recorded this song during a pretty bad ecstasy trip
It's in my top 3, and Lovesexy is all the way at the bottom, my least favorite album. But hey, can't argue about taste.
I heard that Prince shelved this because it was too explicit with the violence and strong language content
Bob if you're out there let me see you dance you said you was funky
This has been in my head all day
Same..I just keep repeating the line "ain't that'a bitch"
Lemme c ya dance .... ;-)
Prince talking about Nelson George
I just found out this about the news critic Nelson George....🤣🤣🤣🤣hilarious 💯✅️🔥‼️
L.A. Times critic Robert (Bob) Hilburn and Nelson George fused together.
This song was a dig at Prince’s former manager, Bob Cavallo and the music critic and writer, Nelson George.
New coat, huh?
That's nice. Did you buy it?
@@klaxoncow 'Oh, you quiet now. Mm hmm.'
Best Prince song of one of the best Prince albums you never heard of! Lambasting the advent of Gangsta Rap in the most violent Prince song...

No no no no the reddish BROWN one
Me too! U have to understand what a quirky sense of humor he had!
U said U was funky!!!
C’mon!
Definitely a different kind of Prince sounds and direction. Definitely worth a listen.
All you do is suck up food and heat!! LMO
imaging this Prince playing guitar with 2 Pac and... then all gangsta rappers go to sleep
Prince wouls go hard w 2Pac LOL
2 Pac sample Prince so many times.

Prince -- Godfather of Gangster Rap?
You hit it on point....He is the Father & Creator & Architect of Gangsta Rap sorry Ice T and NWA and Schooly D
Possibly so.
I agree he was so pissd that rap was taking over at that time he came out with one of the best that was neve played, Wonder why too this day.
As soon as I was introduced to this song, it instantly became my favorite Price song!
DITTO!
Why can't we just dance?
That's a good one Kevin Frazee but ...why don't you leave niggas alone?
