still gets a lot of disrespect and what not from youngsters these days, so probably not. people would rather worship michaels ghost

im 20, and not a single person i know (other than people i preach to) has any knowledge of prince outside a few pop hits from the 80s. you post a prince video at places like reddit and every single post is something like "prince plays guitar now?" people think hes a no talent, vapid, strictly-pop star

I get huge, huge headaches and nightmares even when I think about Prince gone from this here earth.

OF COURSE PRINCE IS IT!

I truly & deep down inside what ever soul I have left, of whatever strength I have left KNOW what potential he has.

He just has been talking 2 the wrong people, he should talk to me, even for 5mins.

I could show him something that would help.

I've said before that I cried for mj and I didn't even know him so I know if I'm still alive when that day comes for Prince I will be a mess! So I guess he is IT!

I can't bear it.

I can't even lie, it irks to pieces when Mayte says in spainsh, "Prince esta _ _ _ _ _ _!" in a song even.

But what can I do?

Nothing.

I wasn't married to him, if I was, I would cut my throat or my tongue out b4 Prince got me to say those words out my mouth.

..........I don't feel good right now

I can feel it that Prince will live to be over 80yrs old!!!!!

I'll trade him my youth.

I was just thinking about this. All artists today are BIG STEAMING PILES OF SHIT!!!!!!! (Except for Drake) And this is what I tell my mom. She wants to know why I wanna listen to Prince instead of artists closer to my age and I'm like "HE BRINGS DA FUNK! His music is BEAUTIFUL AND SOULFUL!!!!!!" And then she looks at me funny............

This is really so sweet except for Drake only if drake's uncle larry could get him n prince together and let's leave my pretty el oughtta this one

Awww you like El DeBarge!!!!! Well I do too! My favorite song of his is 5 Seconds. BEST.SONG.EVERRRRR

Sting, Mick Jagger and Stevie Wonder are but a few "it" artists still doing the damn thing.

They get more acclaim and Prince is an awesome (and one of the most influential) artist, but far from the "last man standing" IHMO.

I hope all these men are around for a long, long time. I enjoy them all and all bring something very special to the table in the music industry.

In the category of artist/musician Prince is "the one". Especially as a solo performer, despite the rotation of backing musicians on the road with him. He is what artists who write/compose and perform their own songs aspire to and admire.

It is sad that BET doesn't give more time to artists/groups of truly rare and inspiring talent on Centric. It seemed to start out that way then turned into a long episode of 106 & Park!

That!

And to respond to the drake comment Apparently you didn't here his cover of Purple Rain (pitchy-just plain awful-worst then your high school talent show).

His solo? That was one of the best solos I've ever seen.

He blows that solo 10 x over on the north sea nights gig night 3. Check out Bambi if you want to see him just shred

Wow that's truly sad I wonder if Prince has brought that view from people on himself by his past behaviors? Still sad that young people are clueless to one of the best artist ever.

i will say that im 16 and a junior in highschool, and when i speak of prince most people know purple rain atleast.. but then you have those ignorant ones who think lil wayne and katy perry are the greatest, i mean, i really fell bad for my generation musically, we have younger people that think lil wayne has sold more albums than anyone on this earth, and that justin bieber is "original" and "changing music" and that katy perry is "the biggest thing to happen to pop music" i use to argue with these ignorant people, but i finally said screw it.. just let them be ignorant,

but as far as your question, i think that he is..

Not all young people. I'm aware of his young audience. They're out there.

I'm a 16 year old btw.

He'll only be truly canonized when he's popped his clogs probably.

Too true. When he does shuffle off this mortal coil so to speak, everyone and their sister will be lining up with the eulogies to how great he was etc..

I really don't care how Prince is perceived by other people though. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference to me.
