I think u r looking for something that was never there, homie...lol

If anything his lyricism had become too subdued...way too constrained...

I will say this for the new album: his lyrics are much more carefree...And at times esoteric...

There is def. a difference between AOA Prince and Musicology Prince...I think u will understand what I'm talking about...
