While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in Summer, 1999 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota; Public Enemy rapper Chuck D added his rap in mid-August 1999, at Paisley Park Studios. This song is believed to be the only collaboration between Prince and Chuck D, but in July or early August 1999, Prince recorded a cover version of Public Enemy’s Fight The Power.
