Prince Pens New "Fight" Song for the Minnesota Vikings!

If this doesn't get you pumped up for some football, perhaps you're dead. I mean strap yourselves in for the FUNK. When this pumps on Sunday the Saints will run scared in New Orleans and I hear it is so funky the sound will be used to demo the Metrodome when the new stadium in MN is ready. Listen and judge for yourselves after the jump... Posted by ProtegeGlow in Prince: Music and More (1,017 comments)

Prince in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve

Music superstar Prince and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. were just two of the surprise New Year’s Eve party guests for the incredible Black Eyed Peas and 50 Cent parties at LAX in the Luxor and Pure in Caesars Palace, respectively. Early this morning, Prince joined The Black Eyed Peas in the VIP area, chatting with Fergie and Josh in a private booth table. Later, Will.I.Am also joined the group, grabbing the seat next to Prince. There are a few pix of the BEP in the article and one of fiddy cent, guess Prince was avoiding the camera?

'Artist' you've never heard of trespasses on Prince's L.A. house to give him a demo

Fairly pathetic... but hey, I guess it got her name in the media. And I'd even spell it here, but it's got a dollar-sign in the middle which is absurd (not as absurd as changing your name to an unpronounceable symbol, but still silly). Click through for the rest of the story. Posted by PoorGoo813 in Prince: Music and More (190 comments)

“I love when he says "I feel better" at the end of Peach. I've no idea why--and this is Peach from The Hits; I don't know what album it was originally on. I mention this only because I have noticed that songs like If I Was Your Girlfriend are a tad different on this one than they are in their original recordings. I digress. Anyway, I listen to this song over and over and over again just to hear him say those three little words--his voice is sooooooo sexy! Don't get me wrong--I love everything about this song--but I rhhheaaaly love when he says "I feel better" at the end.”kac, 11/09 in the forums

“Let’s face it, having gone through 2 marriages, a tumultuous decade, at least 4 terrible websites, several band changes, and countless scandals, would be taxing to anybody. Through it all, Prince kept making music. His output interruptions of the last 10 years have always been more about distribution problems than they have been about a reorientation of his prolific nature. Prince is a powerhouse of creative energy and artistic drive.
It’s takes real balls to keep making music in the storm. And Prince has absolutely enourmous balls. You don’t believe me? Who else in 1993 after having signed a hundred million dollar contract would jepardize it all on principle?”

“He was a horny young 19 year old witha record deal and getting respect for his talents from across the board. He did what most kids his age would've done. Used it to bag hot chicks and then write songs about said bagging of hot chicks! he wasn't "dirty" per se just writing about what was around him at the time sex, music, people having sex to music, Uptown, Lisa, etc.. Now he's in a different world for a myriad of reasons(2 marriages, 1 annulment, 1 divorce, loss of a child, new friends, the greater influence of religion). He still got that wild 19 year old in him but in a "look back at it" kind of way. Not a "where's my thong?" kind of way.”HonestMan13, 12/09 in the forums
