Stumbling across this one on SOHH’s forums a few weeks ago, I knew it was pretty rare, even in this day of filesharing. So, I asked the the brother Boogie Tonight to give it the once over.
If you don’t follow @ first, just read, listen & pay attention. You’ll figure out why this one is dope…and why it’s not being publicized lol.
Boogie’s words…
This is only based on my first listen… I could notice more later.
- “Let’s Go Crazy” – Version from movie. Issued on the 12″.
- “Take Me With U” – Alternate ending.
- “The Beautiful Ones” – Middle breakdown verses.
- “Computer Blue” – Ever wonder where those missing lyrics went on your Purple Rain vinyl lyrics sheet? They are here. Super long version, additional verses and slighty alternate version jam session like. Could have easily been an 1999 out take.
- “Darling Nikki” – Alternate version.
- Hello How Are You? – The backward message at the end of “Darling Nikki.”
- “I’m Fine – The original backward message.
- “When Doves Cry” – Same.
- “I Would Die 4 U” – Alternate version.
- “Baby I’m A Star” – Same.
- “Purple Rain” – Same.

@ Gotty, Boogie Tonight, & TC
Thanks!
Dating ourselves, aren’t we?
fuggit, old farts in tha hizzouse!
*bumps “Erotic City”*
*notices he’s only the 4th download*
geez, these young bucks don’t know what the fuck they’re missin’ out….
oh well, keep listening to that Cool Kids bullshit….& don’t say Gotty & Boogie didn’t try to put you up on game
@ Nonchalant: Hey man, Cool Kids are dope so why diss ‘em? I like Prince but I ain’t trying to listen to a whole album of his shit.
Prince is the shit.
Dopehits! Thanks for this gem!
@ Flea
i usually end up putting my foot in my mouth after making an off-base statement or gettin’ out of pocket..but here goes (and sorry to Gotty if this post goes off on an unintended tangent…I wasn’t dreamin’ when I wrote this, but forgive me if it goes astray…lol):
My main gripe with The Cool Kids is they’re too busy tryin’ to LOOK retro…all style, no substance. But it’s cool, it’s supposed to be fun, light-hearted, whatever…it’s shallow shit.
now, back to our regularly scheduled program…
can someone up “1999″?
please?
“My main gripe with The Cool Kids is they’re too busy tryin’ to LOOK retro…all style, no substance. But it’s cool, it’s supposed to be fun, light-hearted, whatever…it’s shallow shit.”
True indeed
Prince is the ultimate toe touch’r, the beautiful ones is a fucking dope song, fo’reallydoe.
“My main gripe with The Cool Kids is they’re too busy tryin’ to LOOK retro…all style, no substance. But it’s cool, it’s supposed to be fun, light-hearted, whatever…it’s shallow shit.”
agreed
Anyone know if the 9th ‘Wonder Years’ is out yet?
fucking wow … y’all made purple rain relivant. prince to michael jackson is like ali to tyson.
“My main gripe with The Cool Kids is they’re too busy tryin’ to LOOK retro…all style, no substance. But it’s cool, it’s supposed to be fun, light-hearted, whatever…it’s shallow shit.”
You know I’m good for that THIRD!!!
@ Nonchalant: It’s funny that you mention that these guys are trying to look retro, I have to agree with you there man. Mikey is only 19 and Chuck is 23, so I guess the only thing “80′s” that they know is the clothing so with that being said it’s hard to knock ‘em. I was born in 1980 (I’m 27) so I have to laugh when I see cats trying to rep an era that even I barely remember. It’s all love though.
^ accurate. Never even thought about it that way.
The Cool Kids are still finding their way so I’m not even gonna say anything negative. I actually keep their EP in rotation b/c it breaks the monotony of formula driven shit that’s out now. Yeah, it’s light on substance but the sound of their music as a whole is obnoxious (in a good way).
Prince.
Legendary.
Thanks for this.
good looks on this..
and yo Gotty (or anyone else that may know).. i found a pretty rare album in a friends CD collection you might be interested in it… i tried to email the link and the tracklist n shit to u usin the email in the Inside TSS section but it said it was full..
what should i do?
Gotty you are the king.
This made my week.
whats sucks is how young cats are gonna be all The Dream > Prince in a couple years..sigh. but i pass regardless cause he’s not really my grain of salt.
@ Flea
and you know what? knowing now what their ages are, I kinda feel like an ass saying what I’ve said here and on another board. It just seems that some cats put the image first and the music second, and that’s wrong.
But then again, we can’t expect everyone to be THAT deep into the music, cratediggin and all that.
there’s enough room for what they do, and time will tell of they stick around and make some music that will last and make an impact, like the Juice Crew, BDP, PE, NWA, Tribe…well, y’know, I’m not tryna namedrop super obvious standard shit, but you get the picture…
hell, even Little Brother, who named themselves that cuz they felt they’re the “little brother” to groups like Tribe, De La, & Slum Village didn’t emulate and bite those 3 groups’ steez. They made their own lane…

I remember getting clowned on in High School/Early College for listening to Prince and I’m only 21. Prince is dope.

Purple Rain was My ish when I was a shorty. Good lookin!!
And I dig The Cool Kids but I agree, they have no real clue as to what “back in the day” really means. But I give em credit for going left when everyone else is going right. And it doesn’t hurt that the music is kinda dope too.
@ Nonchalant: It’s true, image is everything in hiphop nowadays so hopefully in the future Cool Kids will be able to make music that truly reflected the 80′s: real messages, dope beats, and classic material not just dookie rope chains, retro sneaks, and pagers. It makes me wonder though, are we living in the last era of real music? Not just hiphop, but even in regard to music like Prince. Classic shit and creativity doesn’t abound like it used to; look at Prince for example, he’s a genius! When’s the last time that you heard shit even comparable to what he does?
Ayo I know I’m late but yo good interview TC…shit was nice…and good looks on the Prince ish…that litle midget sure did used to make some good-ass music…this shit is tight
and somebody please up that “wonder years” if u got it…spread the love
@ Flea
Sounds like You’re flip flopping there, Homie.
1st- “I like Prince but I ain’t trying to listen to a whole album of his shit.”
Then- “Classic shit and creativity doesn’t abound like it used to; look at Prince for example, he’s a genius! When’s the last time that you heard shit even comparable to what he does?”
If Prince is such a genius, why wouldn’t You wanna listen to one of His most well known albums as a whole?
2nd- “Hey man, Cool Kids are dope so why diss ‘em?”
Then- ” I was born in 1980 (I’m 27) so I have to laugh when I see cats trying to rep an era that even I barely remember”
Do You think The Cool Kids are dope or do You laugh at them for their faux retro style? Or are You just easily swayed by the comments and opinions of others?
No disrespect but You got me kinda confused…
@ Ampgeez: First off, just because someone is genius doesn’t mean I got to listen to all their shit. I can like select stuff that they make and feel it ya dig? Second, I like Cool Kids but I laugh at their ignorance towards what the 80′s was about which is understandable based on their age, and if you notice I said “it’s all love though”. I never get swayed dogg, if I don’t fuck with somethin’, then I DON’T fuck with somethin’. Peace out, got some bootlegs to hustle in the meantime:

Prince Rogers Nelson is a fucking O.G. genius!!! How can anyone front on what this man has done in the music business and as a pop icon? Name another artist that sat on Warner Bros board in their 20′s or for that matter who had majority control over their creative output? There is likely more dope shit in his ‘vaults’ than will be released this year alone. And on a final note who has badder bitches than Prince? You may have one or two of his quality, but Pimpin’ Ken, Magic Juan and Whitefolks don’t have a stable compariable to Prince!
@ Flea
No doubt. I’m just sayin, stick to Your guns. I’m like You, if I feel a way about somethin, that’s just how I feel, regardless of popular opinions. There’s too many sheep out there who blindly follow the flock & I respect someone who says what they feel & stands by it. It’s still all love though. Thanks for clarifying things.
P.S. I’m up on that HHU too lol!

Haven’t listened to Purple Rain in years. Is this unedited version better than the retail?
THANK YOU!!!!!
It’s funny (not really) how people are judging the Cool Kids off of 1) their gear, and 2) that “Totally Flossed Out EP” which wasn’t even endorsed by the duo, and was basically a bunch random tracks put together and distributed under no direction from Chuck and Mikey at all. I read the same arguments on OKP recently. If you feel that serious about it, stay off the boards and blogs and get in the studio and get your grind on. If not, fall the fuck back. This is hip-hop…if there’s a rulebook or some shit, somebody let me know.
I know You gotta hold down Your fellow Chi-Towners, but honestly, they’re not really sayin much. I actually like the EP for what it is, a fun distraction from “The Trappers & Backpackers” over throwback style beats w/ a modern twist. But they won’t be getting a “Hip Hop Quotable” anytime soon.
But they won’t be getting a “Hip Hop Quotable” anytime soon.

Word.
[That is all]
Had to step away from cpu, caught cold from coworker.
Ah well, 4 days off in a row aint too bad considering I can’t really enjoy it without smoking and tasting food.
The rare Prince album definitely helps.
Thanx for the Purple one. Maaaad props.
The biggest thing out this list that I have been on the hunt for is the Computer Blue session. I had actually heard that it was out and about but I thought it was a dreamed of rumor.
The Hello How Are You I actually found out the hard way.. .record player going backwards.. ahhh the days of the Record Player and vinyl. I am kinda let done tho. I was sure that hahahahaha meant something back in the day. This song is also the precursor to what finally came out post Diamonds and Pearls very cool signpost into what he wanted to put out.
Let’s Go Crazy is more like his concert versions.
VERY NICE .. TSS.. RESPECT MY FRESH indeed
great prince shit. he’s so classic.
as for the cool kids debate, yeah…they’re shallow. but so what? the beats knock and the flow is decent. plus they rep the Chi. trust me, there’s a lot worse shit out there that cats up here endorse. take it as what it is.
@Tc
good food !!!
thx
lovely…thanx 4 this
PROPS!!!! I camped out in that Prince thread on sohh for like three weeks straight. And just when I think my exclusives list is on point, this pops up…
I don’t agree with this particular article. However, I had searched in Bing and I have found out that you’re right and I seemed to be thinking in the incorrect way. Continue producing quality content such as this.
