Beautiful, loved & blessed
U rescued me from the darkness
in the wilderness
But I am beautiful, loved & blessed
No matter what the challenge
I always pass the test

Day 11 @EdgarKruize - A MASTERCLASS on the The Word.

So much 2 unpack & so many think- pieces in this thread - weaving so many tracks from P’s career into a cohesive theme.

A go 2 reference point in trying to understand P’s beliefs!

MIND BLOWING!

Day 10 @arrthurr - Fantastic thread showing P as educator & forging links between P’s stage plot with Hendrix, the Strat & Amp with Ike & the Twins/Tamar with the Ikettes.

A tremendous insight & so obvious now after he pointed them out!

Day 9 @ehphd - intellectually stimulated our minds & took us to CHURCH in this deep analysis of “Satisfied”.

Illustrating its connections to Aretha’s “Dr Feelgood” & the bridge between the secular & spiritual & interplay between the sexual & spiritual.

Day 8 @CasciTRitchie taught us about style & fashion in this remarkable & fascinating thread on Prince’s threads during the 3121 era.

Kaftans, Monochromatic Embroidery, Bespoke Tailoring, ‘Teddy Boys’ & Tunics - all that you need to be schooled on 🔥🔥

Day 7 @CaseyRain dove deep into “Love” & his special relationship with 3121.

He wrote the world’s 1st review on 3121 after attending a Universal listening party.

Referencing Zapp, Bootsy & Classics IV as possible inspirations & giving Tamar her dues.

Day 6 - Like a master aromatherapist @PrincesFriendYT in his best auto tuned voice took us thru P’s scent filled world of Incense & Candles delivering light, breezy & fun filled facts about the song & giving us the lowdown on P’s seduction techniques.

Day 5 @RichardCole_NOW - gave us an overview of Black Sweat littered with musical references - Dylan, Gaye, Brown, Ohio Players, OutKast & The Neptunes.

Unfortunately his thread split into 2 parts.

Part 1:

He argued it’s an underrated Party Anthem of stripped down drum machine driven funk that would have been considered a classic in the 80’s.

He finished with a guide to making the ‘funky face’ a la Edward G Robinson.

Day 4 @deejayumb dissected “Te Amo Corazon”.

“This thread is a fascinating deep dig into an underrated track from an underrated album, 3121...a lot to agree with here & some stuff I didn’t know..” - Matt Thorne @8minutesidle author of “Prince”.

Day 3 @darlingnisi - critiqued ‘Lolita’, adding some wonderful context & background to its history.

A thoroughly researched, insightful, and entertaining thread done in that inimitable “Nisi’ style!
