so what's rat spelled backwards? a classic question asked by the great jesse johnson on a vintage episode of video soul........i'm a student of the minneapolis sound 4ever!
@Djrealign the sound of minny rocks! morris was on top of the world for a short time. prince become a superstar- what happened to morris? what time is it? i have to go. great smooth song!!
THE TIME NOW GO BY THE NAME "THE ORIGINAL 7VEN" AND HAVE A NEW ALBUM OUT TITLED "CONDENSATE" U CAN THANK WARNER MUSIC GROUP FOR JACKING THE NAME "THE TIME" THATS WHY THEY HAD TO CHANGE. DAMN, FIRST THEY MADE PRINCE CHANGE HIS NAME NOW THEY MAKING "THE TIME" CHANGE THEIRS.
THE TRIP OUT THING IS WHEN THIS CAME OUT..I WAS 12 AND WAS HALF SLEEP THEN DICK CLARK PLAYED THIS ON AHIS LATENIGHT VEDIO SHOW..AN I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STUFF..AN I STILL DO..GOOD MUSIC MAN THE FUNK WAS DEFENITLY ON THEN..JESSE IN PINK PRINCE IN PURPLE IT WAAS JUST A GOOD DECADE..AND YEAH THATS PRINCE IN THE BACKROUND.
I remember my dad used to blast this one, along with some Montrose and Humble Pie tracks, on his stereo during the summer. I loved hearing it then and I still enjoy it now.
Say, hey baby, where you goin'? .... I'm going home. I can't dance like that. Well baby, that's because you got those jeans on to tight. Now let's just take'em off. .... What do you mean "Let's just take'em off?" Come on, take'em off. I got something for you to wear. Here, put this on. .... Uh, you always keep lingerie in your glove compartment? None of my women wear gloves. Now put this on. .... But... But my ass. Hey, hey, a play on words. ....
Morris Day & The Time Were The GREATEST R&B Band of ALL TIME!!! Many of todays artist lack that CHARISMA & FLY LOOKING CLOTHES these guys brought to the stage & studio!!
I remember going to see PURPLE RAIN in the 80s and Morris Day & Time impressed me way more than Prince. However it should be mentioned that Prince wore the puffy shirt a full decade ahead of Jerry Seinfeld making Prince the 1st "pirate" ... LOL
saw the time for their reunion show in detroit back in june...one hell of a show. teena marie opened up! The time tore the damn roof off of the place!!
I'm from the 00's and I've gotta tell you, the music nowadays SUCKS! This is the best music! The kids at school are all like 'Hey you hear the new Jason Derulo, Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga? I'm like No I don't listen to that ratshit! LOL
Wow ! I use to have the Cassette to this Amazing Band. I remember I would Admire Morris Day he looked so Regal with the Castle in the Background. The 80's were last Decade for Real Music.
Morris Day was in a class by himself! Love that Cat for real! Nailing White Girlz! Wild Man!
"Don't Wait For Me" was some real Playalistic Sh@t for the ladies to peel their head back and be like WTF??? He got me but i still gotta go... Lol yo dig?
I heard this song on the radio when I was a kid and I loved it, but never heard it again. Once in a while, this song would come to mind over the years, but I never knew who made it. Now, after twenty six years, I finally know and was fortunate enough to hear it again at long last.
had no idea this song was about nailing white girls.... wow .. used to sing the hook all the time as a kid... slick way ov putting that out there.... interacail relatoins... go head morris n them...
@blackberrycobbler4me lol ........ it's MY DRAWERS ...... i've tried loading it more than once .... maybe i can try again to trick the YouTube system ...... they VERY GOOD at identifying a track when its loading ..... CHECK MY PAGE FOR OTHER MORRIS DAY & THE TIME SONGS - freshly loaded ....... PEACE ....
Fucking EPIC. 'The Time' needs their own 'Vevo' channel. Wait...They're too talented for that bullcrap. Great music like this makes me want to murder artist like 'Drake', 'Akon', 'Soulja Boy', 'Lil' Wayne', etc.. Fuck...Where is Morris Day when you need him? Jeez....
@JaiCourvoisier AMEN BROTHER ...... Well - i've loaded some other classics from THE TIME & from Morris Day solo album(s) ..... go to my page & click n listen .... At least we can remember how it USE to be ..... ( and wait for the time to come again ) ......
ok someone out there is a fan of prince ,morris and the various women he did music with so i beg someone to put some songs from grafiti bridge on here my favs are shake- morris still would stand all time-prince melody cool and round and round but other good ones too.thanks in advance. a prince fan.
got to thinking about this song so I looked it up here on you tube to listen to it. Takes me back to when i was a kid. loved this song. My 3 yr old son listened to it with me and he likes it now. That was about 2 weeks ago and he just asked me tonight to listen to it again. lol
hmm jesse's rythm..rogers rythm...,prince's rythm...tony maiden,...lead rythm guitarist's....hendrix started it with stuff he borowed from the heavy blues and jazz cats..Great players and most importantly they were cool!
for the record I fucking love this track and am sure to blast it many a time during the summer. sure, they don't make em like this anymore, but they didn't make em then like they do now...thats part of the game.
@Twigra I had this on vinyl (well, I had all of 'em on vinyl :)) and wore it and the rest of them out. Early-mid 80s. Wore. Them. OUT, I tell you. Some of the best there is.
@Twigra Me too. I wore this out on Vinyl. I used to work at Wherehouse records in 1984 and got the album on the first day it came out. Great, great memories, especially with all the European girls I was dating back then over the summer of 1985.
@Twigra Yeesssss!!! I used 2 have one of them yellow Sony walkmans with "auto-reverse" and Mega Bass...played this tape until the damm thing broke...Chili sauce!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you're all stupid. plenty of great music is being made these days you obviously stupid if you look to the radio, uncultured youth or anything else. you all also have a short memory or else you'd remember how your parents said the same shit about your 'shitty, talentless music' of the 80s, and you know what? their parents said the same thing to them about rock and roll. so shut the fuck up about how music is dead. this music is still here, its great, but i wouldn't want to make it
The point of Prince, The Time and The Family was to break all the barriers. To bring everyone together into a union. In the words of Prince, "Black, White, Puerto Rican...everybody just a freakin'". I haven't heard anything like that in 25 years. I do admit, though, that I'm 40 and writing from nostalgia. If you have something better to offer, please, point me in the right direction.
it's a testament to just how chock full of fucking morons the internet is that people gave you the "thumbs down" for this comment. you're the only one with a valid point beyond "i uh like this song a lots" and "i don't like this song none!"
it was wrong of me to say 'you're all stupid' i was referring to all the people on this page goin "music today sucks, man the 80's were the best, there's no talent" Thats garbage. even prince doesn't make music like this anymore, it had its time and place... but he still makes awesome records. If pple still did this evry1 would b all 'ahhh, music is fcking boring n been the same for the last 20 years' Thats what recording is 4. U have to Look for the good new, but its @.
I agree. But this wasnt just music. This was a movement. Soo much played a part in this the fact that this was midwest music so it was diff from the la ny scene the interracial thing as far the band fans and most importantly they (prince morris flyte time etc) where young kids playin funk covers In the 80's w/tech. bands where stripped down prince figured out how to merge drums machines which where new at the time w/ live bass guitar an keys drums. saved the genre.
i agree with alot of u.being a teen back in the 80's was the greatest thing next to sliced bread.man it was about dancing your ass off,breakdancing, and chasing the girls and vice versus. the great slow jams by the time,"GIRL","DON"T WAIT FOR ME",GIGALO"S GET LONELY TO" can't be duplicated by any 1. we had the greatest music ever. now these fucking thugs today talk about their dick,my bitch,my bling,my ride,my posse,the strip club it's repetitive stupid,senseless shit without any taste.
@str8outtatexas1 DUDE Sexy Bitch is so thoughtful and heartfelt lol...i couldnt even say that with a straight face haha. i agree with you on every point
@FYRFOX198: I agree, being a teenager back then was cool. Good music abounded everywhere. And I mean you actually had to have some kind of talent to make a good song.
I remember buyin' the tape cassette at the swapmeet with a brand new Walkman. I jumped on the bus headin' to the beach in Redondo. When I put that tape in I was like wtf a music box. Then BAM...!!! Ice Cream Castles in the summer time....!" I jammed that shit all the way down to the beach along with Purple Rain and Bootsy's Body Slam....remember that shit.....?? Being a teenager was fun back then. Today's teenagers think they know shit. They don't know a GOT DAMN THANG....mothafuckas..!!
The entire MN movement was so much more than people give it credit for. Prince, Morris, Jerome, Vanity.....all and one. It meant so much to me when I was a teenager. It still does. I return to it when I begin to doubt what is right and wrong, what should be and what isn't. These people were really pushing the envelope, really trying to get people to come together. A time a truly miss.
@80sKatt Could not agree more strongly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This musical decade was the absolutely the best, greatest and revered of all time...if you were of a certain age and lived it and even for those who can dig it now.
What a sick album cover, you don't see album covers like that anymore, and a great tune as well, I was only like two when this album came out, but I can still remember being in the living room with my parents jamming to the tunes on this album in my pamper talking about jungle love oweeohweeoh, lol and chili sauce, lol! Great times, theres always this part of me that wishes I could just go back to those times.
@BlaqueReign25 Wow! I can remember being a teenager back before Prince & Morris made it big; my friends & I used to get bootleg cassette tapes of their music performed and tracks laid down by amateurs but all the music rocked! I truly miss the "Old school" music of these two incredible groups even though Prince wrote and/or participated in the writing of all the music as well as performing. I also remember when Soft & Wet was banned off the radio! Now, more scandalous music is played on the air
I bet that was great, I still have the ice cream castles album, as well as the purple rain album and I think I have the 1999 album somewhere, I just don't have a record player to play it on. I miss old school music as well, it was so much more fun then and the music had more substance I remember listening to soft and wet I was only a little kid but my parents let me listen to it anyway, because they knew what good music was The garbage the play on the air now you can't even call some of it music
O SNAPS this is my joint., I was a little shorty when I heard this about 5-7 yrs old and fell in love with it. I never forgot this song in all these yrs. I read a couple of post and yea Prince put the group together, Morris already said this. n Jesse and him wrote joints together but so what. Alot of musicans don't write their own songs, look on the back of differnt album covers.
yes this was the jam back in the day,sigh... but lets stop hating on the lilpurple control freak, lets not 4get the shit he went through with warner bros. ITS HIS SHIT 2 do what he feels, whether we agree or not!!
Morris Day @ The Time/ The Time -Featuring Morris Day...Thank you all for all the great memories.....WHAT TIME IS IT? SAME TIME IT'S ALWAYS BEEN....NOTHIN' CAN CHANGE THE TIME..OREO-EO!!!!
I dig this song now, but I never liked this song back in the day. Kinda like I didn't like When Doves Cry when it first came out. I don't know why. :)
Already have that .... even tried to load it & was stopped from the jump ..... You know that PURPLE PRICK got him name all over these tracks & the ones that he's got INKED won't even make it on YouTube for a day .... if i can hide it someway - i'll let u know ..... PEACE ...
this group was bad ass back in the day. jimmy jam and terry lewis, jesse johnson, morris day and jarome (with his bad ass drum set). this song takes me back!
Make sure to learn all their songs, have them take you on tour, sing back up, get some of that tour money and learn to play a musical instrument, get rich, yaahahaha...SHEEYAT, im subscribing to your page buddy!.. hahahaa.
Prince wants everyone to know he played all the Time's music to make himself look good. His has a big ego. Let's not forget, the Time are real musicians and not Milli Vanilli.
No one's saying they're not. And them not writing or performing on the album doesn't make them any LESS of musicians, it only means they weren't THERE. We all know the Time are very talented. The idea that artists are either there for the creation of an album 100% or they're Milli Vanilli is fallacy by false dilemma. Jimmy Jam could be BOTH a great musician and STILL not been there in the studio at the creation of the album. Again, document your claims.
Dude, It's mostly Prince. Jesse on Guitar and Morris on drums. Unless you can provide some interview where this is stated, or some form of documentation . . .
Now there were a couple songs that Prince took from Andre Cymone and Matt Fink and labeled it as his own, but for the life of me I can't remember which ones. I wanna say around the Dirty Mind/Controversy album. We all know the shenanigans involving "Kiss", tho'.
so what's rat spelled backwards? a classic question asked by the great jesse johnson on a vintage episode of video soul........i'm a student of the minneapolis sound 4ever!

@FYRFOX198: I agree, being a teenager back then was cool. Good music abounded everywhere. And I mean you actually had to have some kind of talent to make a good song.

I remember buyin' the tape cassette at the swapmeet with a brand new Walkman. I jumped on the bus headin' to the beach in Redondo. When I put that tape in I was like wtf a music box. Then BAM...!!! Ice Cream Castles in the summer time....!" I jammed that shit all the way down to the beach along with Purple Rain and Bootsy's Body Slam....remember that shit.....?? Being a teenager was fun back then. Today's teenagers think they know shit. They don't know a GOT DAMN THANG....mothafuckas..!!

The entire MN movement was so much more than people give it credit for. Prince, Morris, Jerome, Vanity.....all and one. It meant so much to me when I was a teenager. It still does. I return to it when I begin to doubt what is right and wrong, what should be and what isn't. These people were really pushing the envelope, really trying to get people to come together. A time a truly miss.

What a sick album cover, you don't see album covers like that anymore, and a great tune as well, I was only like two when this album came out, but I can still remember being in the living room with my parents jamming to the tunes on this album in my pamper talking about jungle love oweeohweeoh, lol and chili sauce, lol! Great times, theres always this part of me that wishes I could just go back to those times.

@BlaqueReign25 Wow! I can remember being a teenager back before Prince & Morris made it big; my friends & I used to get bootleg cassette tapes of their music performed and tracks laid down by amateurs but all the music rocked! I truly miss the "Old school" music of these two incredible groups even though Prince wrote and/or participated in the writing of all the music as well as performing. I also remember when Soft & Wet was banned off the radio! Now, more scandalous music is played on the air

I bet that was great, I still have the ice cream castles album, as well as the purple rain album and I think I have the 1999 album somewhere, I just don't have a record player to play it on. I miss old school music as well, it was so much more fun then and the music had more substance I remember listening to soft and wet I was only a little kid but my parents let me listen to it anyway, because they knew what good music was The garbage the play on the air now you can't even call some of it music

O SNAPS this is my joint., I was a little shorty when I heard this about 5-7 yrs old and fell in love with it. I never forgot this song in all these yrs. I read a couple of post and yea Prince put the group together, Morris already said this. n Jesse and him wrote joints together but so what. Alot of musicans don't write their own songs, look on the back of differnt album covers.

listen to the sythn organ solo, those are Prince chops. At the end you can Prince say "That's the one!" before he slides up the keyboard.
PhuckHue2 2 years ago
Prince wants everyone to know he played all the Time's music to make himself look good. His has a big ego. Let's not forget, the Time are real musicians and not Milli Vanilli.
tsfunk42 2 years ago 2
No one's saying they're not. And them not writing or performing on the album doesn't make them any LESS of musicians, it only means they weren't THERE. We all know the Time are very talented. The idea that artists are either there for the creation of an album 100% or they're Milli Vanilli is fallacy by false dilemma. Jimmy Jam could be BOTH a great musician and STILL not been there in the studio at the creation of the album. Again, document your claims.
freakyafronaut 2 years ago 5
Dude, It's mostly Prince. Jesse on Guitar and Morris on drums. Unless you can provide some interview where this is stated, or some form of documentation . . .
Now there were a couple songs that Prince took from Andre Cymone and Matt Fink and labeled it as his own, but for the life of me I can't remember which ones. I wanna say around the Dirty Mind/Controversy album. We all know the shenanigans involving "Kiss", tho'.
