"Gett Off" was the opening shot from Diamonds and Pearls, Prince's thirteenth album and the first he made with the New Power Generation as his band, and Paisley Park and Warner Bros. put it out in 1991. He wrote and produced it on his own, and it struts in with a hip-hop swagger.
It connected in Britain and America alike: number 4 in the UK, 21 on the Hot 100 and 6 on the R&B chart, and the seventh and last Prince record to top Billboard's dance club chart. The British maxi-single ran so long and cost so much that it was counted as an album instead, and it reached 33 on that chart. Randee St. Nicholas directed the video, VH1 later ranked it 97th among the greatest songs of the '90s, and "Cream" came next.
