I don't know what he's even doing on "If I Was Your Girlfriend"; that beat is great | |

Right now, I think 7779311 is pretty cool in that field. But I need to play some more stuff later and really pay attention. 777... was just the first I think of | |

"Dance On.." is very funny. Seas are the field of combat for the winds, but when they sweep along some flowery coast, their wings move mildly, and their rage is lost.~Dryden | |

But "Black Sweat" was pretty damn recent. I think that showed he can still do drums like that when he wants to. | |

Absolutely DITTO on Make-Up. Any stop and start beat is uniquely him, though.

Scandalous Cheek, you totally get it.  "Future Baby Mama" had to be on here too. The aspect of drum programming is one of my main personal draws for listening to Prince. And he is VERY influential to other drum programmers. | |

 Now I need a list of stop and start Prince beats. I think you're right. | |

"Sugar Walls" (Sheena Easton)... from the beginning that starts with no snares or claps... then it has the Linn clap! and some extra toms like dududududu and the sucking sound into the snare
