Jesse's girl (in my head).
Naturally, he is being dragged.
boy bye. Prince is one of the best artists to ever grace the earth. he learned to play 29 instruments by himself, wrote, danced, and produced. all by himself. he is a true artist. and this is coming from a 15 year old. He has more talent in his pinky than most artists today.
oh okay. yeah his other music aside from purple rain is good too. i love diamonds and pearls from the 90s.Prince did not play 29 instruments, that was PR from the late 70s to promote him as a young Stevie Wonder. He is however a true artist, that I miss very much. Talented beyond the earthly world. He wrote amazing songs that are timeless classics. Sadly, his estate and former friends/colleagues are obsessed with an era, that was visually interesting but not nearly as interesting as his other musical projects. Prince wanted to be relevant so he also promoted that purple high stuff more so than other stuff he did. I would argue some of his late 80s and 90s stuff is far superior to Purple Reign.
He was the 22nd best selling artist last year if young people don’t know his music it is because they are not listening or they just do not like it. But his music is out there and very popular. I am not worried about what some punk thinks. If Prince had one good song nobody would have let him get to 38 albums his comments are not even logicalThat man looks like he's around my age (early 20s) but I will still say that a lot of young people are ignorant but Prince's music and influence within the music industry. It's sad that his career is still being reduced to "purple rain was his only good era"
Well, when all that young people have heard is how amazing the PR era was, it's not really your fault. That's what has been shoved down your throat.That man looks like he's around my age (early 20s) but I will still say that a lot of young people are ignorant but Prince's music and influence within the music industry.

Young people are capable of streaming all his music nowWell, when all that young people have heard is how amazing the PR era was, it's not really your fault. That's what has been shoved down your throat.
And Ode to Joy as well.I wonder if any 'young person' knows anything about Beethovan other than his 5th. Fortunately, not everyone is so ignorant.
These are the credits from his debut album: "‘all vocals’, ‘deep breaths’, ‘electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, bass synth, singing bass, Fuzz bass, electric piano, acoustic piano, mini-Moog, poly-Moog, Arp string ensemble, Arp Pro Soloist, Oberheim four-voice, clavinet, drums, syndrums, water drums, slapsticks, bongos, congas, finger cymbals, wind chimes, orchestral bells, woodblocks, brush trap, tree bell, hand claps and finger snaps’."Prince did not play 29 instruments, that was PR from the late 70s to promote him as a young Stevie Wonder.

he still has a bigger following than some young dude on twitter being ignorant. And his facts are off. Welcome 2 America was indeed an original album. It does have original songs and was not filled with covers. It is no more of a cash grab than other other posthumous album. It has one cover. The Live album attached to it has three covers. Plus, he said some comment about there being no good vault songs... WTF? Apparently, the man is a complete ignoramus about the songs on the deluxe albums. Wendy and Lisa would be pissed to hear that stuff he is claiming. LOL>^Wouldn’t worry much about Roger Friedman. Just take a look at his wiki page. He told Jeff Bezos that Amazon was a ridiculous idea. He was fired by FOX news. Other goodies there too. Quite the yarn about this bloated d bag Lol
I’m 26. Prince was one of the greatest musicians of all time. A one of a kind. One of those rare human beings that can never be matched.That man looks like he's around my age (early 20s) but I will still say that a lot of young people are ignorant but Prince's music and influence within the music industry.

Please.They didn’t lie tho.. his only listenable song IS Purple Rain
Where were you earlier in the thread? LOLDo we really need a thread drawing attention to what people who are totally ignorant about Prince's music have to say about Prince's music? I don't think so. We know there are non-appreciators out there. How about we just leave them 'out there' and stop polluting Prince's forum with this nonsense?
I hear you. And I agree and it’s sh!tty when people write this half assed, catty garbage. However, I’m more concerned about what comes from “the inside” of the purple machine TBH. Claiming intellectual property (song credits, concepts, influences) that aren’t theirs etc.he still has a bigger following than some young dude on twitter being ignorant. And his facts are off.

This man's article was the ultimate example of being BOTH LOUD and WRONG. And he thinks he is doing Prince a favor or something. Lazy journalists seem to rotate around Prince's legacy.
What are you talking about, where was I earlier in the thread? I wasn't anywhere, I just came on and read this thread and responded. I'm not singling you out here - I just cannot see the point in bringing negative comments about Prince's music onto here. Threads like this are just a hater magnet, nothing more nothing less. We as fans don't have to justify or defend Prince's music to people who don't 'get it'. Their loss not ours. Of course as Prince 'fans' we're going to rise up and disagree with these ignorant comments, that's obvious, but what's the point? This is Prince's forum, to promote Prince, his music, his legacy. It shouldn't be a boxing ring to ceaselessly argue with people who aren't Prince fans. They can just go elsewhere to forums about people and things that actually interest them. I just don't see the point of starting threads like this. I know you didn't start it and I wasn't referring to you, I was speaking generally.Please.
Where were you earlier in the thread? LOL
Agreed. I always need to do things myself and make my own decision.Does anyone under the age of 50 still value the opinions of critics? Seems rather archaic to me. I think the days of their word being the be all, end all are over.
Is that the reason he had no less then 5 songs sell over a half million copies? Put out 38 albums and numerous productions and songs he wrote go on to sell millions? Is that the reason he was the 22nd most popular artist in terms of sales last year. If you only know PR you are showing your ignorance on the topic. His master piece is SOTTs and anyone who knows music knows this. Stay in your lane.They didn’t lie tho.. his only listenable song IS Purple Rain

But I'll reply to your whine that misspells "Rain".
Pretty sure this is the same fool that posts here on the regular about the "one hit" wonder and gets his azz handed to him every single time. Y'all know who I'm talking 'bout
