Reports saying that he may have contracted H.I.V. during the 90's is not that far fetched, because during that time, part of Prince that we all knew and loved died... This is the year that he canned the now infamous Black Album, deciding to go with the softer and more spiritual LoveSexy album instead..
From that period on, his music has been less and less raunchy and edgy...
Did his alleged H.I.V. status trigger a more kinder, gentler and more religious Prince? We may never know, but anyone who knows as much about Prince music as I do, will tell you that after that 90's Black album Prince style of music changed dramatically....

My biggest worry for Prince's legacy is that to my knowledge he didn't have any kids and he wasn't married.
His parents have passed. He has six brothers and sisters. Except for Tyka, all of Prince’s brothers and sisters are half-siblings, born to his dad and Vivian Nelson.
He was a smart cat, so I know he had a will.... but the battle over his estate his going to be interesting.

He had two wives and the one child he had died soon after birth..

Met him once... much more normal than I expected. He talked about KG deserving the MVP that year

Warner Brothers had just given him back the rights to his catalog too. RIP

Damn. Just a few months ago me and my lady had a Prince movie marathon Purple Rain, Graffiti Bridge, Under the Cherry Moon and 3 Chains O' Gold . I'm sad he's gone, he was my childhood musical idol alongside Michael. My lady is taking it hard though, she crying her eyes out like she lost a family member. The AIDS thing is fully plausible though. Over the past 3 years or so, he's been seen a lot more giving interviews, etc. A few months ago l, he was walking with a cane, then the emergency stop due to the flu. I think he knew his time was coming to a close...

I was literally listening to the soundtrack three days after watching Batman v. Superman, because I felt like watching the classic Batman and then I heard "Partyman" in the movie and had to listen to the entire soundtrack again. That shit is still a classic.

The soundtrack and the movie was dope....I've always liked the Tim Burton's two Batman films over Christopher Nolan's version

Does prince have any family he can leave any of this stuff to? Or does this shit become "public domain" and these leeches can just take all of it and line their pockets with his musical genius?


On wikipedia,it says he has a younger sister :dunno:

He had a son,but he died a week later,after he was born,but you're right dividing the estate is going to be interesting.His sister (Tyka)should get control of the estate,since they're blood related

Damn... I didn't need to see this. I'm not ready man. This is right there with MJ.

Lord I need someone to hurry up and discover a way to make Al Green and Stevie Wonder immortal. I can't take another hit like this.

they already took it bro.
its done.
now we about to hear prince's shit on stuff we would never hear it on.
i heard michael jackson bad for an angry birds commercial and i was like yea... that's exactly why.

look for purple rain to be the music they play for some seth rogen comedy coming in the near future.
Bro I thought I was the only one that noticed that!
You would hear MJ's music in fabric softener commercials and shit :smh: Now we all know Jack would have not allowed that shit. Man I was even hearing MJ's music in romantic comedy trailers and shit.

I really hope they don't do Prince like that...dude was a true artist and put out tons of music for his fans.

As far as how he died..sorry fellas but most likely bro had AIDS.

RIP though Prince

Ya'll think it was HIV/AIDS huh?
The fact that he supposedly died from the flu at home after being sent home from the Hospital, doesn't seem to add up... And unlike Michael Jackson, Prince death seems to have proper closure, similar to that of 2 Pac, another entertainer who knew he was dying...
Not saying he had it, but it sure makes more sense than anything else I am hearing....
But even if he did, so what, at least he had all these years to get his house in order the way he did...

I never trusted Mike's death, and I for sure don't trust this one.

I hate speculating so sson after his death, but all I can say is something dramatic happened after the Black album (a album he suddenly declared as being evil) this was strange being that most of his music prior to that was seen as being evil or edgy...
After the Lovesexy all of his music dramatically changed and he all of a sudden got ultra religious...
