Seriously, all his stuff sounds corny and dated to me. I know people will consider this blasphemous.

    Truthfully, i havent copped a Prince album sinve Emancipation.

    But still......



    Camille - Significant alter ego character and vocalist on tracks between 1986 and 1988.

    Mr. Goodnight - on the track of the same name on Planet Earth in 2007

    Jamie Starr / The Starr Company - early producer of The Time, Vanity 6, etc.

    The Revolution - Though the band had other members, several songs credited to Prince and The Revolution were performed by Prince alone

    Alexander Nevermind - writer of "Sugar Walls" for Sheena Easton, also, writer on "Telepathy", by Deborah Allen.

    Madhouse - writer and performer (except saxophone and flute by Eric Leeds) of all tracks on the first Madhouse album. Though credited to the "band," which did not exist at that time, Prince draws royalties for this work. On Madhouse's second album, some tunes were specified as being written by Prince, Sheila E., Eric Leeds, and Levi Seacer, Jr., while other compositions were attributed to Madhouse, i.e., Prince

    The Artist - emerged from "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince," and usually accredited to his then lawyer L. Londel McMillan and became the most common alias in the media in the late 1990s

    Christopher - wrote "Manic Monday", made popular by The Bangles[/b]

    I'm not a fan of theirs either but i do like certtain songs that they've come out with so I just keep those arround... "Holiday", "In to the groove", "Justiffy my love" are pretty much the ones to take in to consideration. With prince though I can't get past "1999" and maybe 1 or 2 more songs...

    Yeah, not liking Prince is pretty much as BAN as it gets.

    You sound white.

  • Actually "LOVING PRINCE" but only being familiar with "1999", "Kiss", and "let's go crazy" is almost essential for being white.

    But seriously, go pump "pop life" or "cab driver" or any of his lesser known hits and if you don't like it....i'm not really sure you should be on this message board and need to evaluate if you like any forms of music that tends to be made by people of color.

    Definitely, but completely dismissing his entire catalog?

    You haven't lived until you've seduced a woman by playing "Do Me Baby."

    At best, someone could say "hey, I bumped a lot of joints and I can appreciate what's happening but i'm not feeling it".

    Slow down with that nonsense. Those Prince songs have nothing to do with 99.9 percent of "forms of music that tends to be made by people of color."

    You sure about that? His music is pretty universal especially to the ears of people who claim to like soul music.

    I'm not going to qualify my argument by saying that I love Prince's music.

    By "people of color" are you being specific to America? Even then, his music is fairly different than other forms of music made by Americans of color.

    He can play any form of music. He's a genius. There's his universal appeal. I wouldn't call him a "black" artist.



  • I wouldn't call him a "black" artist.

    wow.



  • I wouldn't call him a "black" artist.

    wow.

    For every "black" song you identify I can find a "non-black" song.



  • I've talked to Prince about his music. How about you?


  • I've talked to Prince about his music. How about you?




    And...?

  • Fine, I'll concede the point that if you don't like Prince you don't like anything made by people of color.

    Each person has their own preference. If he doesn't like something than so be it. But why is "race" even a part of the discussion. That shouldn't be an issue...

    Is Prince Black? Is his music? Are Wendy and Lisa? Shelia E? Do I have to like Kenny Rodgers? Controversy.

    Not liking Prince should equal a ban either way.

    Well, duh.
