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.

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.

Cool D... Somebody on the list were just TEARIN' up 3121 and sayin'
this or
that about the music. I was talkin' about people/Fam like that. As
I said b4
there R a few songs on this or that album that takes some GROWIN'
time 4 me
2 get used 2 it. Just like LoveSexy isn't 1 of my favorite albums
but my
wife LOVES it. 1 of my favorite P albums is Emancipation. Mainly
because
that was the 2nd Prince album I bought (1st one was the O(+ album)
and I
was going thru some emotional time back in 96. We can all agree 2
disagree
but I'm not gonna sit here and say this or that song sucks or that
it's crap
or some other odious term we can think of. I'LL just say it isn't
my cup
of tea but I'm feelin' U. I always respect U'r oppinion my
brotha... :-)
few lame
songs nobody likes. Just be your a fan doesn't mean you have to be a
brainwashed follower devoted to whatever is thrown at you.
Many times in the last few years said Prince should put out a
commercial hit to remind people the still exists. Also, to help him
get
these one off deals. Eventually he is going to wear out all his
welcomes
and nobody is going to want to put out his half crap albums. -Derek

I'll give U that D... Now may I RETORT: I feel where U'r comin'
from and
I've been listenin' 2 Prince Music since 1996 almost religiously
and there
R a few tracks that I'm like What was he thinkin' when he made
this. I'm
in2 collectin' boots so if U know about Big Tall Wall U'll know
where
I'm comin from. I'm not sure who said it but I've read/heard some1 say
Prince needed 2 make a COMMERCIALLY successful album and 3121 hits
that
mark, as we see with the RAVE reviews it has been gettin.
I like the FUNK numbers Prince does becuz I'm 37 and I remember what
Funk used 2 sound like and there aren't 2 many artist (musicians) I
like
out there. P's music is in my ear 99% of the day. I work @ a Internet
Based Real Estate company and I can jam my Purple Funk all day if I
want
2. Yes, we R entitled 2 our oppinions and all but I look @ each
album and
each track as a journey in itself.
Calling it crap doesn't get any brownie points with me but if we're
all
FANS of the Music and then the man it's all good. Like U said he
ain't God
but he's been given a GIFT by God, from my point of view...

Agreed. To think that just because we're Prince fans we have to
love everything he does is ridiculous. He's a dude who makes
music, not God. A lot of the music is good. A
