i know theres more ...please help

It's hip to be square

i remember they once said on MTV that Prince would be the first to have two hitsingles with only a number in the title: 1999 and 7

In general...Prince's versatile style over the years...Where style is concerned...Prince has been the leader of the pack with very nice clothes...especially the tailored coats.

Even Sheila in 1983 wearing one full leg, I thought was a new style. For the time period. Where the 70's are concerned...U never know...

I think he was the first to perform live wearing bikini briefs and black leggings, grey overcoat, and red neckerchief

Sued his own fans.

• Change his name to an unpronounceable symbol, then create a guitar shaped like that symbol, and perform on a stage shaped like that symbol

First is a strange hard word because there is probably always some unknow/barely known person - lets say major artist.

- "First" black artist on mtv. Major artist you can see that was going to get a push. You can say he is the first black arist to have 2 music videos on mtv.

- "First" major known entertainer to sell exclusive product on the internet. People like to forget this - Warner Bros made fun of him for doing this - The Simpsons even did a skit having Prince as the center of the internet.

Oh yeah was it not Prince that aslo came up with 4 U eye 2 the 9s and so on ...does this language if it is a language have a name?

It's hip to be square

..create the mpls sound? (his unique synthesizer tracks and beats)?

He was the first black artist on MTV before MJ. This is FACT! Prince was on with 1999 in Dec. of 1982 and MJ was in March of 1983 if Im not mistaken on the month. However, Prince was the first.

Pretty sure there's a Billy Idol video out there where he's wearing something just like this, either before Prince or at the exact time of Dirty Mind.

1st to have the #1 movie,pop lp,r&b lp,pop song,r&b song and dance song in the country at the same time

That's incorrect. Prince was not the first to have a symbol for a name.

The band Freur was formed in the early 1980s in Cardiff, Wales by Hyde, Smith and Alfie Thomas. It originally had only a graphic 'squiggle' for a name. In 1983, after recruiting John Warwicker and drummer Bryn Burrows (formerly of the Fabulous Poodles), they got a recording contract with, CBS Records, and met the label's insistence on a pronounceable name, with the compromise that the squiggle was pronounced Freur.

It's also stands to note that the lower half of his symbol, when during upside down, is the symbol for Soapstone.

That's the bands name. Prince changed his government name.

Either way, that is interesting about that other band.

I did know that his "emblem" is the symbol for soapstone, but I always thought of it as male+female+music horn of some sort. It works

Could be, and it's a loose argument. It's like saying "Who was the first musician to go shirtless on stage?" It's just a costume or outfit. If anyone was the first and trendsetting in costume apparel on stage, it was Bowie. One of the first, anyway. Even Prince's face makeup in Graffiti Bridge (Elephants and Flowers), and his outlandish outfits on the Purple Rain tour were very reminiscent of Ziggy Stardust.

Oh blummin' eck it was just a light hearted comment. I. was. joking.
