As a big Prince fan, I was majorly disappointed with this release. 1999: The New Master itself isn't bad. It's okay... not really an improvement on the original but not terrible. The other remixes stink! Rosario is not really a 1999 remix, but a spoken word thing which is interesting. To me, the rest is essentially unlistenable.

Oh well... obviously it was meant as a statement against the industry rather than quality from Prince, but still a disappointment.

You can get the original version on the 1982 album, "1999", or either "The Hits 1" or "The Hits/The B-sides." This is for the most die-hard fans around only...

deserves ZERO STARS

This CD is Prince's bomb CD. Every great musician comes out with a REAL bomb, and this is it for Prince. Check out the original 1999 album. The problem with this remix single is that there is not enough Prince!!! He sings for a little bit, and then that's it. This is, like I said, a real bomb.

This music is a pleasure to listen to if you're into remixes. But if you're like me, a die-hard Prince fam, this music is NOT 'for you'. (No pun intended; Prince fams will understand). I highly suggest joining the NPG Music Club. The music distributed through Prince's online site has "modern" music but not annoying modern music featured on this recording.

Unfortunately, this Prince CD deserves thumbs down. It is a MUST for any hardcore Prince fan's collection, but the CD as whole is lacking something I can't wuite put my finger on. The CD, has its good points, but there is an empty overtone throughout the five songs. This is recommended for people who like dance music, this CD is excellent for parties-New Year's Eve parties to be more exact! Take a listen for fun, but double check and make sure this is the one you want.

This EP is definitely not one of Prince's best releases.In fact, it is his worst. "1999:The New Master" lacks the quality and care of any other Prince EP's,albums,and singles.The music is thoughtlessly thrown together with raps from Doug E.Fresh and soul scatted vocals from Rosie Gaines.Larry Graham lends his vocals to a few of the tracks and Rosario Dawson has a spoken word cameo.As for Prince,his part on the EP is small,he sings a few lines on most of the tracks and then seems to disappear.He doesn't even seem to enjoy the recording.This EP is ONLY for those who must collect EVERYTHING by an artist.This release is a major disappointment.

Blasphemous! I quit buying ANYTHING by Prince after he released this insult. At first I was embarrassed listening to it, then became disgusted, and eventually angry. All copies should be collected and destroyed. Zero stars.

This CD is alright at first listen, but after the fourth or fifth time, it loses its replay value. This release gets monotonous at times, but I still enjoy the added bonuses that come with this release. For instance, the disc is a beautiful gold with a creative design on the top, on the inside cover there is a fantastic photo of Prince along with a heart-warming message from the man himself. The verses of the hit song "1999" are included as well as guest apperances from famous musicians.

Prince can still jam his heart out. His vocals and lyrics are so unique, but you won't find any of that here on this EP. It's sadly disappointing. The music is really bad and the appearance of Dou E. Fresh and Rosie Gaines seems forced. This EP I heard was made to raise money for charity, either way this one should be listened to because it was created by the one and only- PRINCE.

This CD makes me cry because it is so awful. I can't believe this is the same man that came out with "Purple Rain". This is recommended for SERIOUS Prince fans only, it will NOT appeal to the average listener.
