− | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking is believed to have taken place in 1998 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota. The track is largely built around [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Hendrix Jimi Hendrix]'s song [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Gun_(Jimi_Hendrix_song) Machine Gun]. It is included here as a separate track, however, as [[Habibi]] includes several improvised elements, and was given a new name by [[Prince]]. On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November_14|14 November 1998]], [[Love4OneAnother.com]] noted that [[Prince]] wanted to get in touch with the Hendrix family (who controls the estate) to donate a version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Gun_(Jimi_Hendrix_song) Machine Gun] "free of charge, to use at their discretion", and [[Habibi]] is likely to be an edited version of that track. Although recorded during a time when [[Prince]] was using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]], the track was released using the name [[Prince]], so it is listed as such here. | + | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking is believed to have taken place in 1998 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
