If called Me'shell today, and asked her to join 3RDEYEGIRL, as the new bass player. She would be on the red eye, to Minneapolis b4 hung the phone up..

She would most certainly not.

Any artist, that goes on a club tour, to play only 's muziq. Is sending a message, & MOST CERTAINLY WILL!

I highly doubt that Meshell would except that offer.

I'm pretty sure she did only the (fun/awesome) songs that he does not... acknowledge in his... "art official age".

And didn't bonnie rait end up shooting Prince down after some sessions with him where he was treating her like a vanity or apples or Carmen.

Don't know about that, but he wrote some stuff for Joni Mitchell, which she rejected as being 'too merry-widow'ish' for her.

how about this guy:

Foo Failures: Dave Grohl details Prince and David Bowie collaboration snubs

With Prince, Grohl’s plans were rejected with even less fanfare. They met backstage in 2011, after the Purple One performed at the Los Angeles forum. Prince apparently suggested that they could “jam” together at a show the following Friday. “I waited for [Prince] to call all week, [and] he never called,” Grohl said. The Foo Fighter showed up anyway, and they ended up playing together at soundcheck - Grohl on drums, Prince on bass. “[He’s] shred[ding] the bass like I’ve never seen anyone play it ... Then we start playing [Led Zeppelin’s] Whole Lotta Love.” To Grohl, the jam seemed “amazing”. But Prince “didn’t want to do it” as part of that night’s show. “He goes, ‘What are you doing next week?’ And then I never saw him again.” This was apparently Prince’s way “of blowing me off”.

http://www.theguardian.co...tion-snubs

Grohl's quotations are taken from his most recent interview on The Howard Stern Show. ...Incidentally, Howard is a huge Prince fan, but still goes off about how he left a private show because the little guy insisted they turn the stage lights down.

"He can still play the cocky rocker. "I don't go to awards shows anymore," he says. "I'm not saying I'm better than anybody else. But you'll be sitting there at the Grammys, and U2 will beat you. And you say to yourself, 'Wait a minute. I can play that kind of music, too. I played La Crosse [Wisconsin] growing up, I know how to do that, you dig? But you will not do 'Housequake.'"

I remember reading that article, when it came out. I believe this was one of those "no recorders" interviews and the writer obviously misheard. Logic would dictate that what Prince really said was, 'I've done "The Cross" - I know how to do that, you dig? But you will not do "Housequake".'

(Translation: "I can do your style of music in my sleep. But you're not versatile enough to play something like 'Housequake'.")

"Why do we need to hear another cover of a song someone else did? Art is about building a new foundation, not just laying something on top of what's already there."

Says the guy who has released studio versions of other artists songs.

"PRINCE IS NOT A NICE PERSON"

Meshell Nddegeocello.

http://www.factmag.com/2014/06/14/meteor-shower-the-universe-according-to-funk-shapeshifter-meshell-ndegeocello/

Don't remember where this is from (I just copied it from an email I sent to a friend last September, where I said, "From a recent Meshell Ndegeocello interview:"):

INTERVIEWER:

It’s funny that you mention Prince. You recently tweeted: “in 2002 Prince called me a “house nigga” for making a record for Warner Bros. Past is prelude ain’t it.” But you’ve always praised his music, and you’ve often covered him live. How do you reconcile your personal history with him as an influence?

NDEGEOCELLO:

Oh yeah, he’s not a nice person. But I just have to accept that. It’s just something between he and I that I try to rise above. Maybe one day we will have a good experience, I don’t know. Everyone’s not meant to be friends. But I have no doubt in my mind that the reason I play music is because of him. And I really appreciate all his works. I felt bad for tweeting, and it taught me a lesson – I can’t let my hurt override my sanity. I asked him to play the guitar solo on ‘Trust’, and that’s when we had that fated phone call. But it’s OK. I try to have empathy. I don’t know what his life is like; I don’t know what made him the person he is.

The different artist that clear , to do their muziq again likes it. So what's wrong with that? If doesn't want, other artist doing or ruining, his classic masterpieces. He has EVERY right not to clear it, for them to release it. It shows, that he is a REAL artist, not out to collect, every, $ from samples or remakes, made of his precious children.

Plus, now that he has his own, self made, MEGA, NpgMusicPublishing company.. He has approved very carefully, to have his songs placed on classic ,high rated shows.

Don't hate CONGRATULATE!

You can dislodge your firmly implanted lips from between Prince's buttcheeks any time now.

Whatever the fuck that means...I don't know... But u CANT go around bitching about people covering your work and then go around doing covers and expect to not be considered a hypocrite. I would suggest u find work as being a spin doctor for prince...cuz that's what u do...spin anything prince does into something great...but you're terrible at it. U would find some crazy positive spin about prince getting shit on his hand when he wiped himself...the fact is there's nothing positive about that...unless ure one whos looking for some shit to lick.

No artist has ever said NO to , unless they're contractually obligated to someone else. I bet even D'angelo, would quit The Vanguard,if asked him to join the NPG as a keyboardist.

Morris Day would have preferred to be the drummer, in The Revolution, than have his long successful career as a solo artist, & member of The Time.

You ever heard of Quincy Jones and Alexander O'Neal. Both artists have told Prince no.

Now stop with the damn foolishness.

D'angelo I'm speaking hyothetically. But Morris did say, he "wish he would have been Bobby Z". Now he has to play a character the rest of his life. U don't believe me ask ?uestLove.

Alexander O'Neal was a nobody when that happen! He had no idea how big The Time was going 2 b. Plus I'm talking about more established artist. Quincy Jones said no, because he wanted to sing! Not play guitar....So those situations are NOT the same.

This is why noone should cover Prince.
