Prince vs George Clinton "Erotic City" Funk Showdown

[simplethingsbykathy1]

I love Prince, especially his old stuff, but this version... yuck!

[memiceelf1972]

♥♥♥♥ the mashup! I never even knew George Clinton did a version of this!

[180anon]

Remixed versions. Comparing the un-remixed versions, I like George's version, however, I think Prince' version is better.

[JustbeingmewithGod]

THIS BEAT IS HOT, but I don't think the pictures fit the video.

[Funkdogg]

george clinton=master  prince=aprentice

but many times the student beats the master.

but i go for george clinton all the time

[MonkeymagicsMum]

Both are good, but Prince wins it for me!

[son4928]

danc proud, feel it, are you here to have your cherry baby,,cherry baby---george's band said --funk untill the dawn [since it was a earlier time]---wendy said fuck untill the dawn telling the d j s it was funk.

[shaylalatoya]

I more than "like" I Frickin love it!!!!!! Great pic.s too!!!!

[adoratanamicina]

Sta volta meglio Prince di Giorgio

[adoratanamicina]

luv prince's version ハート

[jkadvices]

stop at 2:52 what the hell is that

[Shaolin325]

This is hot!!  I'm a Prince fanatic so I have to go with his version........

I love how you thru the Dave Chappelle pic in there : - )

[Seductivestorm]

Also great pics in your Showdown!!

[Seductivestorm]

Nicely done. I concur with Purplemuz!!!

[Purplemuz]

Love both version but this is Prince's song so you have to give it to him. George is funk and has always been a huge influence on Prince's music. Both are incredible artists! Nice remix!

[Seductivestorm]

@Purplemuz, you are correct & I agree.

[mistrcoffe]

I love George Take funk to heaven in 77...but Prince has this song hands down.

[zorlac774]

haha..love the little toss in of Dave Chappelles Prince at 3:45. made me lolz

[Asbellgrad]

Prince

[jebbiscoba]

No matter which one you like more or which artist you prefer, you can't, no one can dispute the mastery of music and dance moves of these two...nuff said yo! now just listen!

[cyberfuzz187]

with 2 dilikes!!!!:]

[cyberfuzz187]

lolz!! 92 likes with 112,656 views lmao!!!!!

[diamonddust22]

both of these versions on here are not the original at all. That stupid drumbeat in the back ground is put in there, and they have nothing to do with the originals. Fucking liars.

[diamonddust22]

Firstly this isn't the original, secondly they are pretty much the same. I fucking hate these lame "this is better then that bullshit" Get a life losers

[czamora19]

O)+>!!! Prince's is a 1,000,000 times better!

[jfilesbooks]

Clinton's is funkier, but Prince's version is smoother...i like both...i cant compare these two.

[stupidscrewedseries]

Prince did it better O)+> all the wayy

[ThatMarika]

LOVE THIS MIX!

[LotusJet]

So fucking ill right at 2:40

[Deireadh]

@Marien18292

thanks for the information about this amazing song!

[MegatonMadMan]

all of my hang-ups are gone, how I wish you felt the same

[kurtawe]

It has to be Funk if they played this on the radio BUT I do use fuck in it's place lol :)

[mahitablegoolagong]

this is so awesome...one of my fav things I've seen on this whole site! Thanks for the work.

[daintieflower]

AbFab. I can't get enough of these 2 artists fused together in this version.

[Deireadh]

I prefer Prince cover

[rosss1959]

KTHREE31 I had that same vinyl 12" record. Well my friend in college had it.  (Mckendree College.....where you at John Batson?)

[37200productions]

that was badass went it went from all these crazy pictures of George into just a black screen with the prince symbol

Nice mix, liked the breakdown

[RATMfan92]

Clinton is pretty obviously the king of funk, but Prince is my personal hero. I think no one can ever match him.

LOL Dave Chappelle @ 3:46

ROFL Prince fucking the floor @ 5:02

[KTHREE31]

Oh shit, I've never heard or even knew that this song was originally GEORGE CLINTON's. I've always been a HUGE fan of PRINCE, but DAMN! I need to brush up on my musiKal history & explore some more. Both versions R Kool! ;)

[toofargone68]

@KTHREE31 no prince's version is the original released as a bad ass b side 2 lets go crazy

[KTHREE31]

@toofargone68 Oh, I must have been misinformed. So when did GEORGE CLINTON's version come out? I do remember PRINCE's "EROTIK CITY". I had the vinyl record of "LET's GO KRAZY" with this song as a B - side. I thought it should have been included on the "PURPLE RAIN" album. Nevertheless, it was a fantastiK bonus, KlassiK! :)

[1AppleofEden]

Just one perspective-

Anyone who thinks Prince is "savvy" because he sits around all day deleting anything with him in it, is in my opinion wrong.

No matter what argument you attempt, the fact is that human beings need to ADAPT to technology, just as everyone else has to & as other musicians have done, finding other options & lucrative deals & NOT just attempt to impede our natural evolutionary processes & live in the past thinking they are so God-like that they can derail evolution.

[thekillingmoon7]

Prefer Prince's version, for sure.

[jeromelepulu1]

Prince, it's more refined.

[mktriton]

The Funkadelic version is very funky, i love it, but i also like the prince version as well, so hard to decide

[llvaldez25]

awesome, I am sick of Prince's shit not available...I have seen him in concert three times...and I can't watch him on YouTube..wtf!!!

[tonedalocc]

why doesnt prince have anything on youtube?

[echo1v]

Prince is actually internet savvy and pulls all his content of the internet... smart man.

[DominickBlack]

No, that's not smart.

[echo1v]

Yeah, it's smart. When many others have bent over for the thieves that steal their property, Prince is just protecting what belongs to him.

[s88fifo]

thesre is one who has all the albums, ill get back to you

[todnyc]

yeuh

[scyth168]

its "we can fuck until the dawn."

not funk.

[streetcrednyc]

i tend to agree with you but warner brothers says its funk

[2berzerk4u]

it was left purposely ambiguous by prince

[kvidell]

@streetcrednyc I'm also pretty positive that in the George Clinton version they DO say "funk" as a hat-tip to the style.

[spacecase3196]

@streetcrednyc warner brothers only said that so it could get radio airplay.

[combatspoon92g]

ita a play on words. half the time its fuck, the other its funk.

[fluffypuppytoes]

@scyth168 It's actually "funk".

[kittykatblack392]

I love love love it, both are great but my heart and soul of funk and musik is all Prince!!

[angiehay]

How insane!!!

[CoCoaBeauty5734]

This isn't the original version

[streetcrednyc]

this is a remix by streetcrednyc

[IILRGII]

Prince is the man! He bones the finest walking meat and doesn't give a f about anybody!

[PrinceNoirAmericain]

This is tight

[jamielrallen]

what i find ridiculous is that any of you (or anyone for that matter) will say things like "greatest of all time", "ripped off from", or "is better then", there is no fact about your opinions. and since time isn't over yet, how can they be the greatest of all time? and what about victor wooten? would you say he ripped off Larry Graham? (the inventor of slap bass). i guarantee your favorite artists aren't sitting around thinking how much better they are then someone else. chill out and enjoy!

[rufus317]

@jamielrallen Very true fact and I agree with you. I said some things ,but I wasn't saying them to attack any artist(s). True fact is Prince is not the King of Funk George Clinton is. However in the actual battle of this song Prince wins because he wrote the record. How Rick James got into this is, as I stated SOmeone said Prince is the King of Funk when Goerge is and Rick James is the "Prince of Funk". Prince is a Pop Artist period.

[jamielrallen]

i suppose my only point was that i (personally) can't call anyone the king of anything. bob marely was not the king of reggae, but the man who brought it most to the public eye. and no doubt george is a king of funk, and no doubt prince is more pop then george, (and what about jamiroquai!? lol) for me it's all just opinions, even my opinions are just my views. i think the only "nickname" that i agree with is James Brown being the Godfather of Soul. haha but james funked like none other too!

[rufus317]

@VelvetRoom411 If that's the case why don't every artist jump on Prince's little pitty party band wagon and stop everyone from viewing their music on You Tube. Prince is one of the best musicians of all time, but his problem is his ego. None of his band play on any of his albums on live shows. The albums are all him.

[rufus317]

@VelvetRoom411 i MOST CERTAINLY

Are you Inspector Gadget or Magnum P.I. or somebody? Anybody with common sense can tell that the "live show" thing was a typo. Quite frankly I don't care, I have said good things about Prince (the artist) but you seem to only notice the negative which is none. It is a true fact Prince the person is ego driven. He plays everything on his album. NPG,Revolution etc. are nowhere to be found. They only play at the concerts. I am through with this non debate.

[rufus317]

@VelvetRoom411 One typo and a discriminastory remark is what I get? It's a board, people do it all the time. The question is who's version of Erotic City wins and I said Prince simply because he wrote the song. Just please, stop feeding off of only negative points, Anytime the word you is used, that's just time to end it. Arguing on the net is just stupid I will not partake in this. This has gotten nowhere and will go nowhere. I WILL BE THE BIGGER MAN and just stop. Had fun while it lasted.

[rufus317]

Prince is one of the best musicians I agree but Ike Turner, CHuck Berry, Little Richard are the true Kings of Rock n Roll but Elvis is the one with the title. Prince is not the King of Pop. Prince totally ripped off Rick James' entire act. Sorry that's not delusional, it's a fact.

[streetcrednyc]

prince has been doing that act since we was a kid, its the other way around.

[rufus317]

@VelvetRoom411 I do know he's stupid for removing all of his music from youtube!

[rufus317]

Now back to the subject, Prince wins this battle because he wrote the song.

[Mintcar1981]

George Clinton is amazing, as is Prince.

[rufus317]

Prince is talented but George CLinton right fully earned his title. Rick James is the Prince of Funk. Prince is 2nd to Michael Jackson.

[Grapewoman]

you are delusional!!! MJ is not even on the same level as PRINCE, PRINCE is a true musician

[Shookwun09]

You are the dumbest fuck I know Lmao... Micheal jackson 2nd rofl.

[rufus317]

Who and what are you talking about?

[observer200]

LOL @ Dave Chapelle!

[streetcrednyc]

you are wrong george clinton is a funk innovator and did a great cover, a little respect please

[SupersonicMojoJojo]

O haai you best be new here

George clinton is,after James Brown,the most sampled artist in the world.George INVENTED classy tracks

[SisterUnity]

Prince wins...he wrote tha mutha. GC wins... he Funkadelicked a song no one but he could cover.

[SisterUnity]

and we win... we get to funk to both!

[jelmo67]

Hmmm...I never thought he was saying "we can FUNK until the dawn". Sure doesn't sound like it to me....lol.

[MrsBeasley319]

This is my slamma Jamma! Prince got it right

[ZPSFILMS]

Good match up, GC ownz, but Prince did it better.

[MegatonMadMan]

I heard the George Clinton cover first but after hearing the Prince original I not sure which I like better...

[Softertone]

LMFAO!!! 3:46...insert of Dave Chappelle imitating Prince!!! Classic comedy!!!

[ladyparrotluvr]

This is great!! Good job!

[notaflop86]

i`m so lovin this remix...

[zigistardusted]

[mooogg]

this is VERY funky!!!

[UniqueLizzah]

Both are great, but I lean towards Prince's version.

"Thoughts of pretty you and me, Erotic City come alive."

Heehee, my favorite line. =)

[Pooky1991]

Thinks! I could never figure out the word he was saying on that part. In my ear phones it sounded weird.

[MegatonMadMan]

"If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time"

is mine

[kwhuisman]

@UniqueLizzah

Fuck so pretty u and me, that's what he's saying.

[fainasdizainas]

nice 1

[undergroundpredator]

Where did you get this version from? This version is so much better than the original !!

[streetcrednyc]

Its my remix, thanks but the original IS pure genius Prince perfection

[Rternsmllpk11]

part of the originals greatness was princes awsumly talented voice the new the voices jus sound random lolz they mixd up the instrumental and fukt up the acapella lol that could just be me

[breakin88]

the funk lives on in anotha form

[paulallen360]

[bballervirgo1]

Awesome job streetcrednyc!

[Blossbabii0708]

[Pooky1991]

If we cannot make baies maybe we can make some time. So pretty you and me erotic city come alive. We can F**k until the dawn making love till cherrys bloom. Erotic city can't you see, so pretty you and me.

Damn! now I have to go listen to this song!

[angelamuise]

Really want this song, how do I get this for my MP3?

[streetcrednyc]

[Peco014]

[dmontoya699]

parliament gets "we got the funk" but prince owns this song.

[Zabivelli]

[FeBNucJad]

Tried it. WMG just takes it down in a few days

[SONGSTAR91]

prince is soooo hotttt

[physicx07]

I'm convinced this song caused me to hit puberty when I was 13.

[vikingswinsuperbowl]

Prince the best. I remember in the college days at the nightclubs dancing to prince tunes in the mid and late 80's. Way to go PRince.

[jerrylegendary]

puffdaddy stole this beat and made LAST NIGHT

[musicanimal62]

excellant job! i wish there was some way i could put this on my ipod!

[streetcrednyc]

[angelamuise]

[jenjer007]

[streetcrednyc]

"funking"

[HalfLifeAMD]

Great job on this video!

[streetcrednyc]

Thankz much appreciated

[streetcrednyc]

right on

[AriesTRam]

The Prince version (original) is better. But George Clinton is a legend, and both are funky!

[momentlondon2]

yeah kinda, this is more meaty...there hes there 3 mins in

[minlhope]

Dang, this is funky! I love the mix. Both are tight, But Prince is the man!

[lupolator]

the beatmach is shit

[streetcrednyc]

Thank you!

[moonpie99]

Vanity rocked on the Prince track!!!

[AnnaStesia]

Oh Prince wins this one, for the raw sexuality alone. But GC is a monster with the funk. Where are the artists like these nowadays? Everyone seems so dull in comparison.

[STRAUNNJAY]

I love both versions.... the George Clinton version is harder to find... it's part of the PCU movie soundtrack originally. But putting my two cents in... comparing George to Prince is like comparing Jesus and Peter. Without meaning to be blasphemous...George is the MAN with the teachings.... Prince is the disciple establishing a church perpetuating George's FUNK as he knows it with his own spin. Either one... you get good stuff.

[purplepeopleater1]

I love both of these guys, where can I get this track?

[lookingoutpfunk]

fuck who's better. these are two masters....kinda like duke and basie or miles and coltrane or cheech and chong

[jrnest55]

I love the Prince version, could dance to that in the club all night

[ODIN9988]

can i find this on itunes?

[ODIN9988]

mmm love it

[69shanNYC]

Great mashup! Prince was better back in the day, what the hell happen to him? George is crazy funky, I love his getup. Get them to have a throw down - on stage! George would squash Prince like a bug...

[handsomedevil98]

No way PRINCE is better!!!!!! even albums like EMANCIPATION its quite inpenitrable but once in there its heavey Funk!!!!! GC even hails PRINCE as his Hire!!!!
