Rest Peacefully...
His shows were incredible. I will always hold him in high regard for kicking kim kardasian off the stage. We should have all taken a cue from that.
The elevator story.I'm sure someone else prob said this earlier but the lyrics to Let's Go Crazy just hit me : "Not gonna let the elevator bring us down"
And he met his end in an elevator.
Called the shots and lived life on his own terms!
I wonder if it was traveling up at the moment he left?
"Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You're on your own
And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floor1
If you don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around you
At least you got friends
You see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah, ah) is all I heard
Are we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna die
And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy
Let's go crazy
Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go
Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children
He's coming
He's coming
Coming
Take me away!
My man you sound just like my dad!!! I read your post with his voice in my head!!!
Is there any way u can post the video link?Listen to the Van Jones interview on CNN.
Prince was mad conscious.
I'm just gonna say it, he may have been killed ala MJ.
Remember when hood niggas was dressing like prince. Lol .........can't get over this one y'all, surreal ass day.
I'm still hurt by this shit...Just saw him perform at the Fox Theater LAST WEEK...Never thought it would be his final show
The elevator story.
Prince's Purple Rain Is Returning To Theaters This Weekend
In tribute to Prince's legacy and unfortunate passing, AMC is bringing the musical phenomenon's film Purple Rain back into theaters.
Purple Rain starred Prince as the Kid, lead singer of The Revolution, and followed him as he attempted to ascend the charts and escape his rough upbringing, all the while fighting for the affections of his girlfriend Apollonia. The now cult classic film, originally released in 1984, went on to gross more than $80 million, and now moviegoers who have never experienced it can head to one of 87 different AMC theaters across the country on April 28th.
Scroll down to see where the film is playing near you.

Peace Large,
I thought the same thing. It is the information age? But you would think this would take planning and coordination, not 1 day:
- hopefully this was already in the works
- the timing is just funky, in not a good way
- It would make you think they knew something before hand?
page 5 or so. I said they'd do shit he wouldn't do. I said it would take a year before it would start happening.
they said fuck your year bro, we starting this weekend.
I seriously doubt it was planned by PRINCE before this weekend
I'm just more mad that the dude worked his entire life to control his image and his genius and now we bout to make someone white a good $20 million this weekend reissuing his creative vision without his consent.
They would've called prince Wed like hey can we release your movie purple rain at some point? He would've been like NOPE if it comes out, it'll be streaming on tidal and hung up the phone
but here we are.
fiirst chris rock now prince damn. she was curving everybody
Peace Mt. Yukon,
I hope that is a good thing? I will take this as a compliment.
If he told you about those times, I'm sure he told you how much fun shit was?
Wonder if there will be a televised memorial/tribute like MJ..
Wonder if there will be a televised memorial/tribute like MJ..
I don't know. He doesn't have the family like MJ did. His sister is an ex junkie and she seems off right now
i am personally convinced of the aids speculation.
Links on his music especially 7, everything down off youtube... fuckers
