Omfg my mind was blown when Roger started using the talkbox and sounded exactly like the talk box guy from the California Love remix and I just realized it is him 😂
The guy practically created west coast G-funk. You know your influence runs deep when you create a sound that defines a part of an entire country. RIP to a legend 👊🏾
Loved this song when it was released in late 1987…should’ve been a much bigger hit IMO. Much more rhythmically and melodically interesting than Rocket 2 U.
Absolutely love this is soo f@&£ing good, only P could take a slow love song as it is on the album and turn it into this funked up jam! Being funky was like drinking water to Prince!! 💜
Let's give it up for Prince's band! Andre, Dez, Bobby Z, Lisa, and Dr.Fink, did a HELLUVA job playing behind the legend that is Prince during this performance of Crazy You!🔥🎶👍
It was so hard to take him seriously with the lamp shade hats - classic song and one of my fav guitarists. Met him in a record store in DC when he was supporting his first solo album and got on autographed album
The good thing about Roger Troutman is when rap music went global in the 90s with 2pac and Biggie and they took inspiration from him, he embraced it and even collaborated with it rather than being a gatekeeper. Some artists at the time didn't appreciate the art of sampling but he welcomed it 🔥
