I'm a newbie, obviously, but I've been reading the thread for awhile, joined, and now able to post (making up for lost time). Here's my two cents. I think it's highly possible that artpal and bassdame are legit (and not the same person). Jizzy seems quite hostile and I would tend to think that he's the imposter---not feeling the love Jizzy. Bassdame, I sent you a note and waitin for a reply--in reference to a question someone wanted me to ask you. If the answers are right--she is definitely legit.

artpal said:

Yeah, confidentiality agreements ALWAYS have something pertaining to money, property or intellectual property in them. That's why they are made; to protect the interests of those involved.
MJ had a confidentiality agreement with his wife. The consequence of her violation would have been her losing $$$ in the form of alimony payments, etc. You really can't make anyone sign a piece of paper saying that they won't ever tell anything they know about you just for the sole purpose of protecting your "dignity". Oh, wait - you already know this since you are ME, right?
Bassdame is gonna clown Dizzy when she reads this...but you already know this, too because you are her, excuse me - him.

Jizzy said:

What about some video? Did your Uptown Dame friend send out any video to any Prince fan?

sbrown said:

and the aliases keep coming!
I checked the profile for "sbrown",funny you have only posted in "artpal"/"bassdames" threads so far...
give it up dude!it's soooo over!
how many damn org accounts do you have?

Jizzy said:

Welcome, sbrown. Now you know who's what, don't ya?

Jizzy said:

Jizzy, I couldn't have thought of a better publicity stunt than you. But then - maybe YOU are actually ME IN DISGUISE!!!

ok y'all- this is getting hasty and I see no need to continue the charade.
I am of firm beleif that "BlaqueKnight" is the imposter!Seriously!
I have a few sources that may be able to back this accusation up-whether or not they choose to post here and get involved is another matter and completely up to them.
There is evidence of pictures being emailed to BlaqueKnight.
these pictures came directly from a real member of the uptown dames,at blaqueknights inncessant request.
blaqueknight was told not to share these pictures under ant circumstances.
low and behold 3 days after aquiring the pictures,we get some new members here at the org and over at housequake,these new members go by the names artpal and bassdame.
well,wouldn't ya know,mysteriously,the very pictures that blaqueknight was told not to leak-leaked! here there and everywhere!
besides the leaked pic's,he has been posting pure fabrication and passing them off as fact!I thought the Prince-sex stories would be more than enough for everybody to see that this is bullsquat!
blaqueknight,your playa card has been revoked!
should have left it alone and not have gotten so greedy!
you may have even gotten away with it.
NOT!

Jizzy said:

Well, Blaque, looks now like I'm off the hook and you're in the ring! See ya, and good luck!

Folks, don't believe Jizzy. He/she is just Blaque disquised as Artpal who is disguised as Jizzy to gain publicity.

artpal said:

he'll need it!
like to see him squirm out of this one.
OWNED!

Jizzy said:

So anyway, did your Uptown Dame friend send out any video to any fan or anyone at all? If yes, what was in the video?

artpal said:

I think so. Now I'm supposed to be you? Is that right? Or maybe I'm Jizzy, since it looks like we joined on the same date

Does anyone know what lyrics this song is from?
Make a joke and I will sigh
and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
and love to me is so unreal

Jizzy?

Hey, like I explained before, I just started posting--and yes, I have an interest in this thread but only bassdame will know why, once she reads my note.

sbrown said:

Oh - oh - oh - I think I know who you are!!! Bassdame and I talk, you know. Pleased to make your acquaintance!!!

Wait a minute - how do we know YOU are who you SAY you are?

Jizzy said:

You know what? I just realized that you stole my idea!


Ugh - I'm getting distracted from editing my documentary. I'll sign off now. Til later - hope to see more surprises.

artpal said:

the emoticons that you use in every post(including your other org accounts)reveals that you are truly the same person!
nice try.
dead giveaway!
BUSTED AGAIN!

artpal said:

Send me an orgnote of who you think I am. It's all very secret you know

And yes, I'm becoming aware that you talk---it's all just an "inside joke" ----just foolin!

Lyrics anyone? Answer?

Jizzy said:

[b]Artpal and Bassdame, please report to the Prince-apal's office immediately!

Black Zabbath/Paranoid

One more thing before I go.

Jizzy, I realize that the timing of your outburst occurred at the same time that you felt left out of the "clique" in regards to the secret Prince sex story. For that, I truly apologize if you felt insulted. There is no clique here - it was truly first come first served, and then I tried to put my finger in the broken levee, which backfired. So anyway, my apologies.

artpal said:

listen,don't patronize me,sweetie!I don't even play that.
I could care less about any clique,especially on the internet-that says more about you and the way you relate to people,not me.
I am not a publicity hound like you are.
For your information,that "story" was orgnoted to me literally 10 minutes after Krystal666 had it,not bad huh?
Also,this was no outburst,this was me informing my fellow org members that we are being played like a fiddle!
now,don't you have some editing to get back to?

Jizzy said:

You are correct. Later all, gotta go.

I was absolutely amazed to see Jizzy accuse me of being an alias for artpal(!) This is getting ridiculous. I'm sure the moderators could confirm if someone was operating multiple screen names from the same IP/email address.

I think Jizzy should stop making these crazy accusations and post some sort of proof (i.e. a scan of a confidentiality agreement) before anyone even considers taking any of those accusations seriously.

For those of us musicians that have enjoyed the real discussions on this thread, it seems really silly to think artpal or bassdame or other musicians on here need to prove that they are real people. I don't know any of them personally, but the comments, perspectives and discussions here (at least about music) are too real to be fabricated. Let's get back to real discussions - enough of the outlandish accusations.

Well, since Artpal is so kind to offer up picture proof, I say go ahead. And could you pose in something thin and/or see through? Same for Bassdame! Just kidding ladies.....unless ya gonna do it! j/k!


Sorry....I'm a baaadddd boy!

Wow! I'm so sad this great thread has resorted to this! I feel partialy responsible bassdame and artpal! bassdame, thank you so much for the story! I guess next time we have anything to talk about that is semi-naughty we can communicate through orgnotes! I feel bad. You were just trying to make me happy by telling me that Prince info and now it has blown up into this full fleged war!

For the record ARTPAL AND BASSDAME DID NOT COME ON HERE POSTING NAUGHTY STORIES ABOUT PRINCE!!!!! I want everyone to read that and know that. If anything I was the one who wanted to know that stuff. They were VERY relcutant to say anything like that to me. After we established an org friendship THEN they started telling me some things. I only sent the story that bassdame told me after she she said it was ok. These girls don't deserve this hostility and to have their energy wasted arguing over their credability with someone named Jizzy!

They are the real deal, they didn't have to come here and post their experiences for us fans but they took the time to do it and I think it sucks that some orger has runied it for all the fans who enjoy this informative thread.

artpal and bassdme thank you very, very much for all the stories! This has been the most exciting thread on the board in a long time!

Maybe Jizzy is someone who works for Prince and came here to try to tear down bassdame's and artpal's creadablity and plant a seed of doubt into fans heads because he knows they are the real deal.

See ya bassdame and artpal! Just ignore this nut! Hopefuly this Jizzy perosn will disapear!

This thread is cracking me up!!!!!

Well, here's my 2 cents:

I'm not part of any "clique." I sent an orgnote to Artpal and she was very kind to send me the story (thanks Artpal). I had been reading Artpal's thread and I have to admit that all her stories seemed very legit to me. Do I know for sure? Of course not, but they sure didn't sound like the type of stories someone would make-up (I'm not referring to the sex story, just everything else).

Regarding BlaqueKnight, I've seen his posts on this forum for a very long time so I don't know how he could be an impostor. Unless of course this "hoax" was planned years in advance.

Regarding Jizzy, as soon as I read your first few posts I instantly got the vibe that you were someone from Prince's camp (I could be wrong)....maybe even the man himself (who knows). Why else would you be posting so often and taking this so personal.

At this point I would say I have no reason to doubt Artpal's sincerity. Her and Bassdame have stepped up to the plate and said they would post pictures of themselves holding up a sign that says whatever you want it to say and Jizzy has not taken them up on it. That pretty much speaks for itself. If they were really impostors I would have taken them up on that right away. I think by getting so upset over this thread, Jizzy has given the thread more validation. I just don't see this as anything worth getting that worked up about. It's an interesting story but it had no effect on my personal opinion of Prince, I still got much love and respect for the man. I'm sure most people do weird shit in the bedroom, it's not that big of a deal. I'm sure anyone of the guys on this forum would kill to have had the sex life that Prince has had, I know I would. Peace!

I only discovered this thread recently..... and I too found it REALLY interesting to hear about a MUSICIAN's perspective about working in a protege group... espeically a keyboardist since I am an amateur keyboard player (I've posted in the Artists' forum several times about technical and musical questions and chord changes).

In fact the most interesting part was the story about Artpal playing the line for P on her keyboard during that rehearsal and him trying to learn it (made him seem more human, i.e. he had to try a few times to get it), and her comment about P's music being simple in terms of hte chords but genius in terms of how he puts the simple ideas together (as a keyboard player I totally "get" what she meant).

Anyway, this whole impostor/debate seems really stupid.

First, this supposed "sex story"..... who gives a sh*t??? As I was reading the thread, at first I thought, "Wow this must be some crazay ass story" that is so wild and secret it has to be PM'd. Then I read down and see the story is posted, and I'm like...."That's it??" What is so wild and crazy about that?? It's not even a story per se. It's more like a wardrobe description. Whatever.

Anyway, I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in as an observer.

My suggestions are:

Artpal and Bassdame: dont' dignify the stupid attacks with responses, or offers to post pictures etc.

And let's get back to more stories like the ones before..... we musicians are intrested in that part

And the other person who kept screaming about "facts" did not actually put forth any facts.

one more thing.....

I listened to that song with the vocals on it..... and I played it for my college friend,cuz we wrote a song that is very "protege" like and it has a line that sounds very similar to one in the chrous about "just like before"; even the delivery, so it made us laugh . I actually uploaded the song in the ORG forum when they were calling for songs.

i am not sayin that she is not beautiful or that he doesn`t have sex with women !! LOL ...I am just sayig that Robin to me seems to be psycho...the kind of girl who makes stories ....i didn`t have the feeling they had this going on between them, ..did u read some of her ridiculous basketball guys stories ?? i mean ....come on ....anyway ..that`s my opinion .. maybe behind my pink glasses ....

if you have enjoyed this thread, come to the holy river chat this sunday night, September 25th @ around 10-10:30pm est.

Artpal and maybe even Bassdame will be in the chat room sharing stories and answering your questions!!!

www.theholyriver.com

should be interesting....

BlaqueKnight said:

Ok! It might be fun anyway. Except - I might not do the see through thing. Bassdame says she's coming to see me today. Maybe we can take each other's pictures. We think this will be fun - we're not really worried about Jizzy, but he gave us a good idea.

Hey do we get to see pics of you guys?
