I don't know if this has been posted before but it's rather interesting.
It was on Dutch national television, I 'm not sure when . It is a Dutch talk show with audio of Prince talking during a concert he gave on 23 December 1998. in Utrecht a town in the Netherlands.

The television presenters say that Prince is prophetic that he said this three years before 2001, because he could have said, "Amsterdam" or "Utrecht" for that matter. They also wonder where the FBI was and why they were'nt listening because they would have been tipped off. They believe the FBI is everywhere.

If it has been posted before, my apologies. I don't believe there are any copyright issues as it is no music and no live performance just the audio.

Yes he did! I was just listening to him singing a song at a concert saying 'Osama bin Laden gonna drop the bomb! and he sang that in 1998, YEARS before it happened. That's the one

no he didnt - he just follows the news

It's been discussed several times before.

From a previous post (edited)

The Bin Laden reference was pointed at the incidents he was identified as having previously been behind, when Prince chanted this during the concert.

There is no prediction about 2001. It just so happened that, after the chant, the band moved into the theme (played often live during this time) based on Wagner's 'Also Sprach Zarathusa' adopted for Kubrik's film: '2001: A Space Odyssey'.

Was Bin Laden common news at the time. I had never heard of him until after 9/11 but seemingly it was a common name or rather well know in America.

I don't believe he is

Osama was big news in 1998 after the bombing of the US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. He had previous form, and was linked to funding the 1997 tourist attack at Hatsheput's temple in Egypt.

So no prophesy from Prince, just political comment. I think P watches the news and is world aware, and love his socially conscious songs (SoTT, Dreamer)

he said

a

" bomb "

nothing about a plane ....

1) Osama didn't drop a bomb. It was 4 planes loaded with human lives, and jet fuel.

2) Didn't he first say "Osama gonna drop the bomb" right after the first attack on the WTC in 1993 or so (the bombing in the car park underground)?

3) That's not a prediction. That's him following current events, and commenting on them.

Good try though.

He was big news five years before that when the WTC were first attacked.

The Bush administration allowed this whole thing to happen. that's all I'm gonna say about that. Prince had nothing to do with it.

I believe P was chanting "obama gonna bomb ya"
Obama was already a know terrorist and blamed for a few
acts by then. Of course those who dont follow the news or read papers had
no idea who he was til 9/11

There was a bombing incident at the world trade center before 9/11. It was not large enough.

Why didn't The Bush administration see it coming? Prince did.

And how many pairs of eyes do you think they have? Just how many incidents do you think are averted each year?

And besides over here in the UK we all thought it was America that dropped the bomb. Japan 1945.

I tell ya, some people want Prince to be God so bad they can't stand it.

andymacfunky said:

Osama been news since the '80's also when he turned his back on the family business and went Afghanistan.
He just wasn't front page news.

mzkqueen03 said:

Why aren't you banned?

Now there's a conspiracy theory.

No he did not.

This claim is far to broad.
Where did P pinpoint the exact city and/or target, method, etc?
The US government allowed 9/11 to happen.
Then they introduced various legislation that reduced, yes, trampled peoples freedoms, liberties and rights, increased costs for security theater and useless wars.
Pipelinistan is still not free, stable and democratic and will not be in the `near` future. Same for Iraq.
Both wars are failures.
Don't they (US) learn that their `foreign policy` has been failing for decades? It costs way too much, it violates everything a sovereign country stands for and gains very little if anythign at all. It is based on simplistic coldwar views on geopolitics.
Within these circumstances it is not hard to predict that somebody will set off bombs sometime.

Partly as a result of this foreign policy, the US currently are still heading towards financial armageddon, seemingly without really acting on that perspective.

Bull. Anyone who watched the news knew who Osama bin Laden was. He attacked the WTC in 1993, the USS Cole, the embassy's in Africa and someone else, and other attacks, before 9/11. His name was in the news as often as anyone else's during those times.
