I remember reading in 1996 during the emancipation-Era, that Prince had some problems with R.Kelly (the original Post back in the day mentioned the song "get yo groove on"). Does anybody more about it?

Who cares!

I don't think there was a problem between them as such. Wasn't Prince quoted as saying he wanted that same level of success that R Kelly was enjoying in the mid 90s?

maybe thats why he tried to sound like R.Kelly with songs like white mension, Somebody´s somebody and i cant make u love me. and i have to say, that he did a great job with it.

i didn't see nothing wrong except a little bump n grind

You are Sad. Nuff said

This is what he said to Rolling Stone in 1996 while promoting "Emancipation"

0{+>, who is now 38, is previewing tracks from his upcoming triple CD, Emancipation, which is set for release on November 19. We're in the comfortable apartment-style office quarters within 0{+>'s Paisley Park studio complex, in Chanhassen, Minnesota, just outside Minneapolis, his hometown.

Eager to reassert his status as hitmaker, 0{+> is verbally riffing in a style that recalls one of his heroes, the young Muhammad Ali. "I ain't scared of nobody," he exclaims at one point, laughing. "I wanna play you the bomb. You tell me how many singles you hear -- I wanna read that. The only person who kept me down is R. Kelly, and when I see him, he's gonna pay a price for that!"

It sounds like a little friendly competition instead of any real beef.

So there you go.

Purple Rain vs Yellow Rain?
