I don't doubt it. He seem like a control freak about his music and clearly wanted things done his way. I don't know about the physical abuse, but I can definitely seem him being controlling on a brawd. Anyway, still a legend.

I've read 2 books about him. He was very controlling and was sometimes bad with money & business decisions, but I've never heard anything about him being physically abusive. Those that worked for him did say he played weird mind games at times. Just like Maurice White, he was a "my way or the highway" type of guy. When you start to study the all-time greats, when you're a musical genius, you're going to suffer in the personality department. Shit, it's like that with anyone that's a genius.

So once upon a time I said Prince was gay. Ninjas were up in arms ready to put my head on a stake.

Reason I said it was cause gay means more than just sex with dudes. It also describes men who dress or act like women.

Dude wore female stripper clothes on stage. Dude dressed in full drag. Dude called himself Camille.

THATS GAY.

But, you'll never find bigger Prince fans than me and my family. ALL US love that nigga. For about 15 years Prince's music was the soundtrack of my life.

Just like it was with Luther Vandross, Freddie Jackson and others, you can be their fans while being honest about who they are.

I don't disagree with your statement. Which is the reason I don't adhere to this cancel culture. George Mike was my dude, love his music and the brothers you mentioned above as well. If they wrote or meant for the songs to be for a dude :dunno:

Doesn't have anything to do with who "I" think of when I listen to their music. If we judged every entertainer for things they have done, there would be very little entertainment to enjoy IMO. As I mentioned earlier, EVERYONE, has demons. Just like Puff, shit he did was horrible across the board. But that fool put out some bangers and helped others put out bangers. So do I cancel every artist that he worked with?

Let me be clear. A man putting his hands on a woman is coward shit to me, but I can't control another mans actions, nor do I wish to.

In the end if one doesn't control the ego, and have a sense of peace within, then what's it all for? I choose to take from an artist what makes me feel good about their work and leave the rest to the Universe.

Still jamin this

Prince's ex-girlfriends have accused him of physical and emotional abuse in a nine-hour, bombshell documentary, per The New York Times Magazine, which reports to have seen the unreleased film.

The Ezra Edelman ("O.J.: Made in America") film, which has been in development with Netflix for nearly five years, includes interviews with dozens of Prince's former business partners, lovers, friends and associates. The documentary has been the subject of much back-and-forth between the film's creators and Prince's estate.

In between musings on his artistry are details of his personal flaws, allegations of physical and emotional abuse, accounts of his own abusive childhood and his abandonment of his young wife Mayte Garcia after the couple lost their child, the Times reports.

USA TODAY has reached out to Prince's estate, Netflix and Edelman's reps for comment.

Unreleased Prince documentary includes former partners, abuse allegations​

The film includes an interview with multiple ex-lovers of Prince, including Jill Jones, who recalled a night in 1984, when she and a friend visited the singer in a hotel.

Jones claimed after the Grammy winner kissed her friend, she slapped him. She remembered him saying, "this ain't no (expletive) movie." The two began to fight before Jones says the singer started to repeatedly punch her in the face. She didn't press charges after his manager told her it would end his career. She loved and still wanted to be with him, so she stuck around for years after, she reportedly said in the documentary.

Susannah Melvoin, the identical twin of The Revolution guitarist Wendy Melvoin, was also involved with Prince. She recalled after the couple moved in together, he inspected her phone calls and was dissuaded from leaving their home.

The film also reportedly includes an interview with Prince's ex-wife Mayte Garcia. The documentary follows their meeting when she was 16 and he was 35, after he saw videos of her belly dancing. In a letter Prince once wrote to her, shown in the documentary, he said he worshipped her and her virginity: "One of the main reasons I love and worship u is because u don't have a history. And what's more beautiful is that u don't desire one."

Garcia recalled them beginning an intimate relationship when she was 19. The couple wed when she was 22, and on their wedding night, she was gifted two songs: "Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife" and "Let's Have a Baby."

Garcia went on to become pregnant, and their son was born eight months into the pregnancy. The couple discovered the boy had Type 2 Pfeiffer syndrome, leaving him without the ability to breathe on his own, and they made the decision to take him off of a respirator. Quickly after, Prince was on a plane for a show in Miami, per the documentary.

Garcia recalled an incident a week after the death of their child when Prince walked in on her crying on the floor to announce Oprah would be interviewing the couple at their home that morning. Vault footage reportedly is shown in the documentary in which Prince remarks to Garcia, wearing a white miniskirt and jacket: "We can see up your dress."

Garcia said Prince told her not to announce the death of their child during the interview, and ultimately grew cold toward her. The marriage was soon over, but in the film, Garcia does not criticize him, the Times reports.

Prince collaborators recall 'controlling' nature​

Some of Prince's former collaborators, including members of The Revolution, recalled his at times controlling nature in their interactions with him.

The Revolution musician Lisa Coleman remembered in the documentary how when the band asked for better pay, Prince told them if they really loved him, they wouldn't ask for more. When band members threatened to leave, the "When Doves Cry" singer called their bluff, and the group disbanded in 1986.

Wendy Melvoin recalled in the documentary how, during a period in Prince's life when he became more religious, he asked her to disavow her homosexuality as a prerequisite for getting The Revolution back together. The story comes in contrast to Prince's one-time adoration of her sexual liberation. It was one of the dozens of parts in the film that Prince's estate demanded to be changed or removed, according to the Times.

Prince's abusive childhood revealed in unreleased documentary​

Based on interviews in the documentary, Prince is said to have been kicked out of his mother's house at age 12, and from his father's house at age 14.

Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, recalled the abuse in their household perpetuated by their father. Later, the documentary recalls the on-and-off estrangement between Prince and his family.

The film examines his yearning for his parents' praise: "Hi Poppa, please play side with a star on it. It’s longer and better. Love you, Prince," read one dedication from Prince to his father on a copy of "1999," as seen in the documentary and according to the Times. Later, with his career reaching major heights and amid multiple attempts at reconciliation, the film shows Prince's father trying to take credit for his success in interviews.

Estate blocks release of 9-hour Prince documentary​

Times Magazine said it conducted more than 20 interviews regarding the film. Deputy editor Sasha Weissis is said to have seen the unreleased documentary last year, at a small, private screening in Brooklyn in which other figures, including Questlove, also viewed the film.

The Times reported that when Edelman's team held a screening for Prince's estate, a lawyer representing the estate later presented the film crew with 17 pages of demanded changes. Edelman's team made some adjustments, but pleasing the estate was reportedly unsuccessful.

In July, Variety reported the massive documentary was "dead in the water," with Prince's estate claiming the film included multiple "factual inaccuracies."

In a statement provided to the Times, Netflix confirmed trouble with the estate was one of the causes of the documentary's hold-up, but did not elaborate further.

"This documentary project has proved every bit as complex as Prince himself," read the statement. "We have meticulously archived Prince's life and worked hard to support Ezra's series. But there are still meaningful contractual issues with the estate that are holding up a documentary release."

The singer died in 2016 at his Minneapolis compound at age 57. Public data released six weeks after his death showed he died of an accidental fentanyl overdose.

This should be illegal. The person is no longer here to defend themselves and there were no allegations levied against him while he was alive.

“There’s spite and aggression in the performance”: Unreleased Prince documentary suggests his iconic While My Guitar Gently Weeps solo was an “act of revenge” against Rolling Stone

White boys were mad as shit about Prince showboating on their asses!
They will never let that one go because he got over on them and they are still salty as fuck about it because they didn't think to do it first.
:lol:
 
Several times a year I go on YouTube and play this video of Prince taking over My Guitar Gently Weeps as he constantly looks over at Tom Petty for cues and Tom Petty just tells him go ahead do your thing, man. "Go on. Go on."

You will not find a more masterful 3 minutes of playing The guitar in every singular way possible.

I was commenting on a thread on Facebook where someone was comparing Michael Jackson and Prince and I simply stated, "Prince could do everything Michael Jackson could do. Michael Jackson couldn't do everything Prince could do."

Prince was one of one. There isn't anyone anywhere close to have lived on this planet before or since

I'm a little sad that I didn't discover this video until after Prince had already passed. This might have been the greatest guitar performers I've ever seen because he performed in every way possible.

He let everybody else do their thing while he played background. He - THE Prince played background, then took the baton and ran to Mars. Jeff Lynne and Steve winwood thought they was doing something.

You're exactly right, there will never be another Prince or MJ and the world is worse off, indeed

What you missed about that performance is Prince felt a way about being underrated as a guitar player and used that performance to show how dope he was. That’s why he showed out the way he did

Oh, I know. I heard talk about it. The rolling Stones had a top 100 guitar player list and Prince wasn't on it at all.

Pure T bullshit

When asked if he was the greatest guitar player ever, Eric Clapton famously replied, "I don't know, ask Prince," indicating that he considered Prince to be the superior guitarist. To not list him as one of the top 100 guitar players ever is the greatest of insults, Like not listing Jerry Rice as one of the top 100 receivers in NFL history.

Among his peers, Eric Clapton and Tom Petty, he was recognized to be one of the greatest ever. Bullshit magazines like the rolling Stones left him off their list but somehow put him 14th on their list of top 250 guitar players.

As I said before, Prince is one of one

That RnR performance made RS reevaluate their position. In fact, he is much higher than 14 in most's opinion. RS caters to the white boys...they was never gon let P get no shine. But there was no denying his greatness once that RnR Tribute came out. He spat right back in their face with that shit!
