The song 1999 was written in 1982 during the height of the Cold War. In it Prince addresses fears of a nuclear Armageddon. Under the Reagan administration, the United States was stockpiling nuclear weapons and taking a hawkish stance against the Soviet Union, which he referred to as the "Evil Empire."
On his birthday (June 7, 1993), Prince changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol, a mixture of the male and female signs combined with the alchemy symbol for soapstone. The media began referring to him as "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince," or simply "The Artist." His staff at Paisley Park, on the other hand, called him "the dude." In May 2000, he changed his name back to Prince
I never understood Eminem’s reference on his Biggie feature on “dead wrong” when he said, “i got a lion in my pocket, I’m lyin’, i got a nine in my pocket” until reading these lyrics
