Undisputed is the second track on Prince’s 23rd album Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic (his sixth using the name SymbolSmallerBlue.png). A remixed version (known as The Moneyapolis Mix) was included as the second track on the 2001 companion album Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic.

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.
