Prince in Essence

So much for the competition-now we know who's really bad.


In the latest edition of Essence magazine with Mary J. Blige on the cover (June 2008) there is a one page (page 67) write up on Prince.

"HE IS LEGEND"

The story talks about the great things he has done in his career and that he is about to hit 50. The picture is from Musicology era..... Nice little story...

Prince deserves respect, and he always gets it througout the Black community, especially Jet, Essence and Vibe magazines.

He's my favorite recording artist.

Glad they showed the love again.
One small problem I had with the story was that it didn't mention anything he's done new in the 2000s.
They recognize his staying power, but no mention of any project, tour or performance post '90s.

You took the words right out of my mouth! I was thinking the exact same thing... This is "MAGNUM"

"A united state of mind will never be divided
The real definition of unity is 1
People can slam their door, disagree and fight it
But how U gonna love the Father but not love the Son?
United States of Division"

Thank u prime 4 sharing. I have this photo of him from 2004. I must get my copy asap

Now take that back, legend, smegend but yes talented he is but legend nope!

I love the closing comment - 'So much for the competition - Now we know who's really Bad'. Quality.

His name is Prince and he is funky! Amen to that.

Prince ur beautiful
