Breaking: PRINCE DEAD AT 57
- Thread starter Spectrum
- Start date
He has decades of unreleased music. I pray the ghouls and vultures don't rape his estate.
Damn!!!!
I need to call my mom. I know she is losing her mind.
Man my mom still hasn't returned my text earlier.
I'm legitimately concerned about her.. This woman drug my 5 year old self to the movie theaters to watch "Purple Rain"... Hell I remember her covering my eyes with her hands everytime Apollonia and Prince were on the screen and covering my ears when she thought they were about to Cuss. I honestly think Purple Rain was one of the first theater movies that I remember.
Woman did the same thing for Under the Cherry Moon and Sign o' the times. She went to Graffti Bridge with her girls.
Man I think we all should probably hit up our mothers. We are all basically the same age and Prince was already a legend back then. It is Crazy to think that this man has been a legend my entire existence.
DO ME BABY...LIVE AT THE CAPITOL THEATRE...1982!!!
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.
Damn, RIP. Prince was the first artist who got me into ballads: The Beautiful Ones was the first slow jam I ever liked. Damn. 57 is kind of young too. Damn.
I had this discussion not too long ago.
I don't know too many black people into Elvis.
I don't know too many black people into the Beatles.
I know loads of white people into Prince.
Loads into MJ.
White boys turned me on to Jimmy Hendricks . Had books shit they would loan me so I could read up.
Wasn't the first Phife.
Man most of my classic Prince shit is on Cassettes and 45s... Looks like I'm going to torrent his discography tonight.
How he get taken out by the flu?
You are On too something
there's an awesome joke that came to mind but out of respect for prince im not going to take it.How he get taken out by the flu?
He absolutely killed it on the Batman Soundtrack.

Here is my top 5
1.Purple Rain
2.Scandalous
3.Red Corvet
4.When Doves Cry
5.1999
I'm speechless right now. A legend has died.
Don't leave us in suspense man.
Refused to believe this until I saw it confirmed on bgol.
I can't believe I was amongst grown black men today in my office crying at the loss and then smiling at his greatness
We NEED to celebrate our legends while they are alive especially as a Black people.
This man was like a damn music superhero. ...I KNOW we gonna be tempted to start who was better MJ or Prince threads...
That's ok as long as we acknowledge that they both better then all these other acts that straight jacked they whole style.
Prince we love you and miss you...
I know my light skinned brothers are on extra pain right now.
But we as Black men salute your talent hard work and uncanny ability to get these bad azz redbones in line
Salute.

My fear is people like Kanye, Miley and Beiber getting their hands on unreleased material and remaking it.
Prince was selective with people he gave music to for a reason.
Yep Mine too.
PURPLE RAIN...LIVE...ON ARSENIO HALL SHOW...YEAR ?
nah that's not a factor.
cheesy movie checks and guitar hero checks and itunes checks and all these other checks they missed out on. prince truly owned his own music. he was an artist. he thrived because of his talent. he did not need the machine and the machine did not like that. he came out with albums. sold out tours and kept selling records without them. he made sure you couldn't do anything with his music without his permission and there was no dollar amount they could offer to get him to change his mind.
aside from conspiracy stuff what i said about him is all facts.
it was going to be a play on words as it pertains to what is the real "bird flu"
FB Post I came across:
They immediately removed Prince music from the Spotify downloading streaming devices...
Reading the timelines not really knowing wtf folks were talkin about until i tuned into MTV and see the music tribute thats going on... Ya'll can call it a conspiracy theory or wateva but i feel that murder is the case due to the fact that he removed himself from a label meaning a tagged slave of the industry. That rebirth marked a new era as the ability for Prince to terminate master recording copyrights after 35 years and was granted in the Copyright Revision Act of 1976 and became effective in 1978, the year that Prince's debut album came out. He owned everything of his personal body and dem devils will find a way to get rid of you once theyre hands stop being greased. Micheal and Prince told the truth about the Masses and the industry now therye both gone...
Rest In Paradise Roger " Prince" Nelson.

PRINCE INTERVIEW WITH TAVIS SMILEY
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.
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?
