See, I thought he was on to something with Black Sweat. When I heard it, I thought "ahh Prince is back on track!" then the rest of the album left me completely confused.
I think if "Planet Earth" was D'Angelo's comeback album, for example, people would line up in the streets and throw stones at him. If any other artist tried "Future Baby Mama" we'd be talking about how R&B is dead. But because it's Prince, we're letting it go. I like when Prince plays hard. Extended versions. Solos. Funk. But I also like when he has something to say. Even when he was preaching to us, he had more moments than 3 out of 10. <Moderator: yeah I have a major issue with ghetto R&B and I was willing to give "Future Baby Mama" a pass because it was prince. At least its not "My Wifey" or "You Remind Me Of My Jeep" or something romantic like that :-D -Derek> On 7/25/07 10:23 AM, "Andrew Stanger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You mean baby knows?
