Hello. I've enjoyed the stories of you and Bassdame very much thanks for sharing. However I was wondering, was there a post (a story) about New Edition? I can't find it. Thanks.


Hey Vanity,

Here is what Bassdame wrote about New Edition:

"the band that i was in when i first came to mn was mercedes, we had a production contract with flytetyme. when they were producing neheartbreak (new edition) we were around. they were staying at the embassy suites and every now and then they would give us wads of cash to go food shopping and then we would go over there and cook. for dessert a certain member of our band seemed to be on the menu. first the cab came and she was with ricky. he likes nothing but pumps on a woman in the bed. then came mike..she didn't tell us any criteria for him. "


Thanks Artpal

I was just curious because when I was a kid I LOVED New Edition. Alot of it had to do with their wholesome image, although at the time I had no idea that it was just an "image". It seems the more you learn about males in the business, you realize theres no such word as wholesome only, bad boys EVEN PRINCE is worse than I thought. biggrin

Yes, they are! I always found it funny how in the music business, there's such a hierarchy amongst the women who are involved with (accomplished) professional musicians; there's a class of girls that fall into the "groupie" group, and the "super-groupie" group (they're sometimees lumped with the "new girlfriends")...then you have the long term girlfriends who get lumped in with the wives...then there are the "platonic" friends that usually have some weird assed elevated status as muses and confidantes...and what I've seen is that each class within the hierachy has its own scheme in the whole game of things, complete with a whole set of social politics that determine how they treat others and also how they are treated (respective of their "social status" in the biz...) very entertaining to watch, indeed....! wink

.... prince would peek around corners and look people or just suddenly appear on the stairs. i kinda think there might be cameras and can observe from various rooms whats going on in other rooms...


I remember watching him do this from inside "The Womb" at Glam Slam in Miami Beach...just standing there spying on people below in the general club area...I didn't think much of it at the time, but in retrospect, the whole "two way mirror" thing was kinda funny to me...I mean, he would just stand there in the secret VIP room watching to see if people downstairs would dance to remixes of his songs, and send down notes to the djs on what to play next to pump the crowd up if things got too lackluster...damn, those were fun days cool ...

yes

A question for the ladies who shared their Prince related stories....

There will always be certain perception of Prince and his treatment of women.

If Prince was not as "controlling", do you think he himself would be treated "justly"
by women ?

I merely am saying that is it possible for Prince to feel he would be in an uncompromising position were it not for his commanding "role" as "boss" ? ...in business and social relationships.

Because of his small stature, being black, quiet demeanor ...

KaleidoscopicEyes! OMG how are you? Haven't seen your posts in a while..
wave

Interesting question. I've always got the impression that Prince as much as he loves beautiful women he kinda resents their power and their ablilty to use their sexuality to get what they want. Hmmmmm....maybe that jelousey resulted in his harnessing of the more feminnie sexual expressions? biggrin

Oh cool! One reason I like to perform my songs live even in the smallest cafe is so that I can gauge people's reaction to the songs. There's nothing like it. I don't find what he did here strange - it makes sense - to test market the creations he's trying to sell.

You seem to have a lot of insider experience. How'd you get to be in "The Womb" with Prince? smile

Well our pop psych guess is as good as yours. Actually, I think you hit it right on the head. I wonder how women/girls treated him before he got famous. Probably not that great since he's so small.

His choreographer and high school classmate told me that in high school he was considered "annoying" by people. He would butt into crowds and hang around. He probably didn't get that much attention.

I was at a high school football game last night and saw a small guy about Prince's size trying to impress the bigger guys by acting real cool and rapping and swaggering. And the big guys were just chillin - I guess they were trying to be nice. But the little guy seemed like he was just trying to hard.

Unfortunately, all of us get judged by our looks, and I'm sure that affected Prince.

But I think his controlling ways also have to do with other psychological issues. He's rich and famous now and can have almost any woman he wants. I don't think it is necessary for him to emotionally abuse his women though. That's a different dimension.
