You have no idea the volcano hole (not rabbit hole...it's too small) you're about to go down with Prince. If you're going to do this, I suggest you start at the beginning so you can see his growth and genius from the beginning to the end. He played 25+ instruments. Think about what you are listening to, and Prince LAYERING in EACH instrument and vocals (No autotunes), showing the band members his vision and all of them laying down tracks. Absolute GENIUS! Yes...he's doing what you think to the cab driver 🤔!!!!! Peace...Be and Stay Safe!
And an extra tip- for each album, ask your subs what non-hits you should listen to. LCD is a perfect example of a song most people would miss in doing a selection reaction from 1999.
So true. I feel proud of the youth hearing Prince now & trying to absorb his music. For people like me, it was part of my childhood so it was second nature to me. Then from the point on, no one compared to him. His early music is so important to (re) visit in order to understand his later music. F**king genius
YES>>>this comment!!! As I mentioned on this channel about 4 months ago...you gotta lotta party to go! If you really wanna get a feel for 'the roots and fruits' of Prince and some deeper cuts, check out Purple Current. The purple hour runs twice a day (all Prince), and the rest is the best of the best...music Prince influenced or was influenced by. Everything from (real) hip hop, jazz, oldies, indies, icons, and all the other good stuff in between.
TWON!!! Did you read what they said. Every Single Instrument Was Played By PRINCE!!! The drums,the bass, the guitar, the keyboard, the horns; and whatever else WAS PLAYED BY PRINCE!!!
@@KennethSimmons-sy4pjI give the goat to Prince because he could sing and play 20+ instruments masterfully, also MJ didn’t write completely all his music . It’s your opinion tho I just feel Prince is a musician , MJ is an entertainer
Yes! I was 8y/o when International Lover came out and I loved his play on words. Now why I knew what he was talking about at that age, I don't know. 😂 #GenX
Yes! Same here! I fell hard for him with "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and "Still Waiting". Then I loved "Uptown" which I think was a B side song, if I remember correctly. By the time Prince came out with "Erotic City" it was a done deal, I was totally devoted.
I get so tickled watching very young people listening to the genius of Prince for the first time, I feel bad for them or anyone who never saw him in concert, nobody did it like Prince, nobody 💯💜🕊
Hell yeah he’s giving it to her, that’s the best part of the song, he’s paying for the ride with every stroke and for everything that was bothering him when he got in the cab
I need people to realize that this man was serious about the music!!! Not taken seriously as a guitarist but he silence majority of his critics. It's one thing to have a voice but to be able to play all the instruments and not have outside producers and writers .....please stop thinking that him and Michael Jackson were competitors...never...prince was on a whole other level than mike...no disrespect to Mike he was talented in his own right. Prince was ahead of his time with the music.
Prince in the last 3 years has become my Top 2 Artists of all time. This dude has so many different sides. He can rap, sing, dance, act, produce, plays over 20 instruments, a master lyricist & he fought for all artists and won to own his masters. This dude is the GREATEST
He has been my #1 since 1979, everyone who knows me personally knows this, there will never be another. He was so genius, laid down each layer of his earlier songs one instrument at a time. I have a small room shrine.
Dude recorded this entire thing (save for JJ moaning it up) on a single goddamn Wednesday (7 July ‘82) There simply will never be another quite like him 💜
Nobody can touch Prince!!!!! I'm jealous you get to discover him with all the work he put out. He was a damn genius! Won't ever be a more talented person with a skill set like he had.
And he would usually record the whole song by himself in the studio playing every part one at a time drums,bass,keyboard and guitar then the vocals now he needed a band live to perform it but 90% of the time he was solo oh yeah he wrote all of his own songs and he produced himself Prince was his own producer
If you think that was racy, you should listen to Darling Nikki, Head, or Sister. Prince was the first person that I'd ever heard get that raunchy. Loved it.
@@mztweety1374 yeaaa growing up with Prince in the household, you learn things faster than most. He probably was the best Sex Ed Teacher there ever was.
I had a daughter in 82 , and when she was about 9 months old, she got hooked on Prince and Michael J. She would be sound asleep and I be watching late night videos and as soon as a 1999 song would come on, or a Michael song she would sit straight up in bed and watch the video and as soon as it was finished she would lay right back down and go right back in the sleep mode.
I LOVED your face when you realized what was actually happening. Quite a bit of Prince’s music was sexually explicit. Check out Erotic City, DMSR, International Lover, Head or Jack You Off.
I was a pre teen during prince’s prime. This was our coming of age music, especially the 1999 album. It was a double LP and every song was a monster. This was the album that whetted the worlds appetite for prince and set the stage for him to hit us with Purple Rain.
Prince was a genius, wild & free. He is the absolute best of my generation, no comparison. I'm so surprised that so many young people don't know of him, he broke so many barriers as a young artist. Prince had total control over his artistic vision, and more often than not played all the instruments, arranged, wrote & produced everything. And what a performer, he was just lit.
Prince song “Controversy”…..I was 17 years old when I first heard “Lady Cab Driver”….and I had the same reaction. People only know about the Purple Rain album but TRUE fans loved him every since he step on the scene back in 1977….
I grew up listening to Prince and Michael! Prince was my preference because he was edgy, controversial, and socially conscious! He easy mixes sex and a message in his music! His earlier music was especially sexy, with songs like I Wanna Be Your Lover, Darling Nikki, and Head! Then you have very socially aware songs like Sign of the Time and Controversy! Prince had us dancing and thinking! He’s the GOAT! 💜💜
FYI yes the lady moaning is exactly what your thinking Pri ce is the Goat one of the most talented individuals who ever lived,btw he played all the instruments in this song. A lot of people slept on Prince, RIP, he is severely missed, and can't be replaced. Miracles and blessings to you and yours.
Hi. "Prince, The Purple King, The Purple Legend, he was definitely was a musical genius." Try this one, (it's Blues) Prince - Red House [One Of The Best Live Versions] (Kostas A~171) feat Maceo Parker and Johnny Blackshire. Or Prince "If I Was Your Girlfriend, Somebody, Somebody." Just to name a few. He has so many hits. The One, The Only.
You'd never make it through "Let's Pretend We're Married" Prince is much more descriptive. In fact, you may have to listen to it privately. Prince ain't never been no punk.
The way he was able to tax about sexual acts without being vulgar and disrespectful to women was one of his many gifts. A true lyricist and musical genius. I was in college in 1979 and the girl next door played Head all day every day until the album wore out.
@@ladylovesteqilla4398 😆 I was about 14 and used to walk around the house singing "Do Me Baby " until one day my Mama heard me and said "Do you? What do you want done to you?" My eyes got really big and I was like, "It's just a song Mama", which she promptly told me to stop singing! 🤣
You'll need to listen to his protégés like The Time, The Family Appollonia 6, Vanity 6, Sheila E, even the two Mazarati tracks and Sheena Easton's Sugar Walls This was all over "Urban" radio in Detroit. I'm glad you're hearing the funk Prince and not just the breakout crossover of Purple Rain. Prince was a FREAK and a genius. I hope you get to Bambi, Dancing Close and Slow, Let's Pretend We're Married... BEST GUITARIST EVER!
Prince's first 2 albums he played an instrument, recorded it, played it back while playing an other instrument and simultaneously doing vocals(lead and background) until he completed song after song, that he wrote by the way, and completed his albums. His talent was limitless. Keep going with his music. Soft and wet is my suggestion for you, from his first album.
1999 is princes best album cause it is the cross roads between prince trying to find his sound n a man found his sound at the same time. I love 1999. That album is funky asfuck!
now remember he's written every note and played every instrument. that woman in the background is Jill Jones (the blonde waitress in PurpleRain), and she Jill should be acknowledged as the voice on many of the Minniapolis sound background vocals.
If you are wondering why the views on a lot of his songs is low, it's because when he was alive, he kept all of his music off of UA-cam. This song also was never released as a single. It drives me crazy that a man who has such an extensive music catalog seems to only get played when people want to hear Purple Rain. For true Prince fans, that song is probably not in their top ten greatest songs by him. It's not even in my top 20!
Yes, I like Purple Rain… but so many great songs that it isn’t even probably my top 50. The more you hear his music the more you realize how great he was.
You said something then. All facts. I really didn’t feel the song Purple Rain like that until the concert and the movie. The movie really put the lyrics in context for me. Let’s Work, Get Off, DMSR, Scandalous, International Lover, Adore, Insatiable, Musicology, Future Baby Mama, Somewhere Here on Earth, Anotherloverholenyohead, Beautiful Loved & Blessed, Push It Up, Come On, The One, Do Me Baby, Strollin’, Erotic City, Damn U, Housequake, 1999, Uptown, I Can’t Make U Love Me would make my top Prince songs before Purple Rain
Purple Rain served its purpose but I have to agree with you, I don't think I ever play that song in rotation. As a matter of fact, when ot comes on the radio or TV or wherever I change the station. When he passed I listened to Way Back Home not Purple Rain.
Twon, I wish Prince could see your reaction. I know he would be pleased. Your reaction was my reaction in 1982. There was nothing out like that at the time. Glad you enjoyed it and cause of your reaction I subscribed and gonna watch your videos.
I love seeing a new generation finding and loving Prince! Really nice to see you appreciate an album cut that wasn't a single. Since you loved this tune, I have a feeling, you're going to be a huge Prince fam. Please keep riding the curving purple highway that is Prince! ☮️
In the song Prince is expressing how lonely he is but has nowhere and no one to go to. So he's basically venting to her how down in the dumps he is. After the first chorus he asks her "take me to your mansion", to which she does, and that's when Prince takes his frustrations out on her through intercourse. I love how he added in the sound effects of the bed on that part lmao. I could never make out what the gargling sound is exactly but my interpretation is probably he was drunk before he even got in the cab and the morning after, he's throwing up.
1999 the double album is a freakin' Masterpiece album, and this song is just one of the many highlights on it! It's all Prince (with Jill Jones as the cabbie) .... a classic timeless Prince song, and it's still SLAMMIN' in 2021 and beyond, his rhythm guitar playing here is insane! ... O(+> 4ever #GOAT ... btw, excellent reaction! :-)
He is beyond talented. That man can tho down on the 🎸. As well as all other instruments. That's what sets him aside from Michael Jackson. Prince was an iconic musician and performer
If you're going in this direction, I promise you're not ready! It irks me when the only song people know is Purple Rain. That was his 6th studio abum. He had 39 studio albums in total & so many others, plus songs he wrote for others and played on uncredited. He was very generous with his time and money with millions to music programs in schools (loved kids), gave Spike Lee millions to finish She's Gotta Have It and Malcolm X, always gave $$ and coats for the homeless in every city, and gave all the proceeds to Freddie Grays Family when he went to their city to do a concert to calm the city after he was killed by police. He was socially conscious & tremendously intelligent beyond the music of which he taught himself to play 27 different instruments from the age of 7. He turned down his 1st record deal offer at age 16 because they refused to allow him full creative control, but at 17 had a deal with Warner Brothers and before he passed, had gained the rights to the Masters for all his music. It's been reported that Tamron Hall (who was once involved w/him.. She had to take a 2 month leave from her previous show when he passed. Her husband's Co. just bought the Rights to half his music catalog.
Please react to the long album version "I could never take the place of your man" by Prince. Especially for the guitar at the end the short versioncuts it off!
I was 10 when this came out...I can remember sitting on the porch listening to this on the midnight funk association with some of the other kids in the hood... such a vibe...everybody in Detroit loves Prince.
Going to catch heat for this. But here goes: MJ was the ultimate live stage performer and dancer.. His albums were his concepts and he was at his peak teaming up with Quincy Jones. Prince? Prince teamed up with NO ONE. He needed no one. At the age of (16, 17?) He turned down the opportunity to have his 1st album produced by Maurice White of Earth Wind & Fire, declaring that "the only one who will produce my music is me". And Maurice agreed saying there was nothing he could do for him. Prince was all set. Prince did it ALL. He played ALL the insturments. Like MJ, his stage shows were monstrous. A studio engineer once said that the only reason Prince has a band was because he couldnt play all the instruments simultaneously by himself. If I give MJ a 10, I will have to give Prince an 11.
Facts! Warner Brothers kept trying to send a plethora of seasoned musicians to Minnesota to oversee the production of his album. Everyone came back and said leave him alone he is fine!
@traceyrankin936 So true. Frank Zappa an accomplished musician in his own right, admitted that he wasn't a fan of Prince's music, but at the same time he recognized Prince's exceptional multi-faceted talents. He rallied for Prince's right to make his music as he wanted too when he said: "Hats off to Warner Bros for having the good sense to stay out of his way."
One of my top 5 Prince songs. The whole song is Prince by himself except the female vocal screams. Every instrument and he was like 23 or 24 years old.
Prince was releasing Funk music in the 70s. His mainstream music made radio & was awesome, but long time fans of his, will remember that there were many of his songs that were not necessarily “radio approved”, that were just as important and successful. The man oozed funk! They will never be another like him 💜💜
Glad you got to this bro . Prince repped an era where you honed your craft and try to create something better than the next man/woman . Pure instrumentation, soul and total expression .
You have no idea the volcano hole (not rabbit hole...it's too small) you're about to go down with Prince. If you're going to do this, I suggest you start at the beginning so you can see his growth and genius from the beginning to the end. He played 25+ instruments.

Horrible comparison, most MJ songs were written by white dudes and played by QJ friends. Prince was in another level.

Exactly to many to name. Sex In The Summer, Anna Steisia, When You Were Mind, Greatest Romance That's Ever Been Sold, Eye Hate U etc
I remember dancing to every minute of that multiple times at a club or cabaret 💃🏽

Prince's music is timeless....this song is STILL one of my dirty sound-gasm faves. Nice choice. Subscribing now :)
The extreme genius of it all, who in the hell makes an entire album (yes Album) titled 1999 in 1982? I'm feeling all sorts of reincarnation vibes.
Double album
It was about the Nostradamus craze of the early 80's, millenarism was a thing back then.
Twon, I wish Prince could see your reaction. I know he would be pleased. Your reaction was my reaction in 1982. There was nothing out like that at the time. Glad you enjoyed it and cause of your reaction I subscribed and gonna watch your videos.
I love seeing a new generation finding and loving Prince! Really nice to see you appreciate an album cut that wasn't a single. Since you loved this tune, I have a feeling, you're going to be a huge Prince fam. Please keep riding the curving purple highway that is Prince! ☮️
One of the baddest bass rhythms
Yes he is giving it to her. I was wondering how long it was gonna take for you to pick up on that. Mind you he is playing all the instruments on this!
Rest in Purple Power Sweet Prince! I cried more when he passed than when my own mama passed.
Just a musical genius
Start from early albums in order and listen to the evolution.
No one can duplicate that talent, no one
New subscriber. Prince music will never die.
In the song Prince is expressing how lonely he is but has nowhere and no one to go to. So he's basically venting to her how down in the dumps he is. After the first chorus he asks her "take me to your mansion", to which she does, and that's when Prince takes his frustrations out on her through intercourse. I love how he added in the sound effects of the bed on that part lmao. I could never make out what the gargling sound is exactly but my interpretation is probably he was drunk before he even got in the cab and the morning after, he's throwing up.
Yep. 😂😂🔥🔥 I loved your reaction. ❤️
1999 the double album is a freakin' Masterpiece album, and this song is just one of the many highlights on it! It's all Prince (with Jill Jones as the cabbie) .... a classic timeless Prince song, and it's still SLAMMIN' in 2021 and beyond, his rhythm guitar playing here is insane! ... O(+> 4ever #GOAT ... btw, excellent reaction! :-)
He is beyond talented. That man can tho down on the 🎸. As well as all other instruments. That's what sets him aside from Michael Jackson. Prince was an iconic musician and performer
Exactly how I’ve listen to this song since I can remember get the same feels every time
If you're going in this direction, I promise you're not ready! It irks me when the only song people know is Purple Rain. That was his 6th studio abum. He had 39 studio albums in total & so many others, plus songs he wrote for others and played on uncredited. He was very generous with his time and money with millions to music programs in schools (loved kids), gave Spike Lee millions to finish She's Gotta Have It and Malcolm X, always gave $$ and coats for the homeless in every city, and gave all the proceeds to Freddie Grays Family when he went to their city to do a concert to calm the city after he was killed by police. He was socially conscious & tremendously intelligent beyond the music of which he taught himself to play 27 different instruments from the age of 7. He turned down his 1st record deal offer at age 16 because they refused to allow him full creative control, but at 17 had a deal with Warner Brothers and before he passed, had gained the rights to the Masters for all his music. It's been reported that Tamron Hall (who was once involved w/him.. She had to take a 2 month leave from her previous show when he passed. Her husband's Co. just bought the Rights to half his music catalog.
I LOVED EVERY BIT OF THIS!!! I just fell in love with Prince all over again!!! 😍
one of his best grooves ever
His Royal Badness
Yes sir. Every thrust was for something important.
Been listening 2 this stuff 4 over 40 yrs and still make the faces U make... the FUNK is undeniable.
Please react to the long album version "I could never take the place of your man" by Prince. Especially for the guitar at the end the short versioncuts it off!
One of my favorite live performances ever!❤✌
And that was before it's time ,Michael and prince did that
The look of recognition on your face as it hit you as to why she was screaming
I think you're gonna like '777-9311' by Time. It was also produced by Prince. It was sampled by 2 Pac.
I was 10 when this came out...I can remember sitting on the porch listening to this on the midnight funk association with some of the other kids in the hood... such a vibe...everybody in Detroit loves Prince.
Incredible drumming from prince on this track
Going to catch heat for this.
But here goes:
MJ was the ultimate live stage performer and dancer.. His albums were his concepts and he was at his peak teaming up with Quincy Jones.
Prince?
Prince teamed up with NO ONE. He needed no one. At the age of (16, 17?) He turned down the opportunity to have his 1st album produced by Maurice White of Earth Wind & Fire, declaring that "the only one who will produce my music is me". And Maurice agreed saying there was nothing he could do for him. Prince was all set.
Prince did it ALL.
He played ALL the insturments.
Like MJ, his stage shows were monstrous. A studio engineer once said that the only reason Prince has a band was because he couldnt play all the instruments simultaneously by himself.
If I give MJ a 10, I will have to give Prince an 11.
Facts! Warner Brothers kept trying to send a plethora of seasoned musicians to Minnesota to oversee the production of his album. Everyone came back and said leave him alone he is fine!
@traceyrankin936 So true.
Frank Zappa an accomplished musician in his own right, admitted that he wasn't a fan of Prince's music, but at the same time he recognized Prince's exceptional multi-faceted talents.
He rallied for Prince's right to make his music as he wanted too when he said:
"Hats off to Warner Bros for having the good sense to stay out of his way."
Lady cab driver. Yes sir! Telling her what each one is for❤. Only Prince!
Best reaction to a Prince masterpiece I ever seen, thank you.
It took you long enough to figure out, darlin. 😂🤣 Prince was verrrry sexual.
"The only song I heard from Prince was Purple Rain and it wasn't him. It was from a movie or something." Daaaaannnnng, that hurts.
Oh my damn! I’ll be back for this after work! I’m going to need a drink for this! One of my 77+ favorites. God, he was so wonderfully dirty!
When he first came out in 1978, I was hooked. People laughed at me because I liked Prince, now they understand!!
Prince was a real true musician & composer. I meet him, his 1st wife Mayte Garcia The NPG, Larry Graham .
Funky, clever, nasty 😈 That’s The Prince!
Ur eyes when u realised what was going on , priceless
His best song on his best album
One of my top 5 Prince songs. The whole song is Prince by himself except the female vocal screams. Every instrument and he was like 23 or 24 years old.
Prince was releasing Funk music in the 70s. His mainstream music made radio & was awesome, but long time fans of his, will remember that there were many of his songs that were not necessarily “radio approved”, that were just as important and successful. The man oozed funk! They will never be another like him 💜💜
The screaming girl's name is Jill Jones and she sang on many of Prince's records in the 80s
Glad you got to this bro . Prince repped an era where you honed your craft and try to create something better than the next man/woman . Pure instrumentation, soul and total expression .
