This project is very good and I think people weren't surprised and are
enjoying the songs, videos and performances. I think there is no way to
project the success of the project.

Focus Hope
1355 Oakman Boulevard
Detroit, Michigan 48238

started REALLY listenin' 2 Prince. Hip Hop was
dyin' 2 me and the song "My Name Is Prince" was the 1 song that had me sit
down and actually listen 2 P's lyrics and then the slow jams moved me and
that's all she wrote. Jam Of The Year Miami had me sold. I had NEVER seen so
many beautiful WoMen in 1 spot and they weren't wearin' baggy jeans and
large hoop earrings @ the time.
Thanx every1 4 U'r input, this is the spot !!!

If you like all of the tracks on the album... great for you! If you
are only feeling some of the tracks... that is cool too. But neither
of our opinions have the power to define the music for all. What I
love about 3121 and many if not all of Prince's albums (and music in
general), is that there is something for everyone.
Because an individual dislikes 1 or more tracks doesn't make those
tracks (or the album) crap, half crap, or any other adjective of
disapproval. It simply means that this individual has not been moved
by those tracks. I personally love 3121's first track and a couple
others that some people think won't interest most. I also tend to not
be moved by one or two other tracks that are well liked by some
others on the list. "The Dance" was once on my list of songs that i
didn't particularly care for, but lately that song has moved into my
favored list.
Heck, I can't stomach to listen to Shakira's new track with Wyclef
Jean. But it seems that some folks out there think that it is hot.
