2931039, FWIW - Tidal livestreaming the concert

Song is pretty tepid --- the instrumental sections are cool though, he gets in some nice guitar work.

More important: Tidal is streaming part of the Prince concert tonight:

Actually one of the best songs I've heard from him in years.
2931107, u heard his pair of albums from last year?

surprisingly dope.

I just listened a couple weeks ago...I've been putting it off, but now I'm kicking myself.
2931108, damn

2931250, Prince never wrote a Pro Hood song
Posted by mistermaxxx08, Mon May-11-15 10:47 PM
i applaud his sentiment and what he did,however that song is as soulful as something that the Brady Bunch would have a camp fire to,

Prince has no fire in his songs about the Hood.

he has no Pro Hood Anthem.


Baltimore sounds like a Partridge family outtake.
cornball corny.
2931284, lmao

Funny, even though I don't think Prince was going for soulful here

2931356, prince was performing in Baltimore not in Alaska

you gotta bring the goods to B More. Prince got this broke "take me with u" meets Justin Bieber cut.
even Drew Carey wouldn't clap to that.
