His legacy deserves some respect so there is no way he is a joke. THe joke is not acknowledging these facts. | |

ernestsewell said: WaterInYourBath said: Larry Graham is not a joke. His music was fantastic in the 70s. I've said this before, and I'm sure some agree. There are two different people here: 1) The Larry Graham of Graham Central Station as well as the solo artist. This Larry Graham redefined how to play a bass guitar. He did it with Sly Stone and he did it on his own. If you just go and listen to albums like Ain't No 'Bout A Doubt It or Release Yourself, it's incredible music. Everyone in that band contributed something amazing to those songs. GCS has its place firmly solidified in music and funk history. 2) The Larry Graham that is a Jehovah's Witness. S-T-A-U-N-C-H, staunch. (Anyone get that reference?) He's the one everyone dislikes, because people view him as really effecting, negatively so, Prince's music, songwriting, and down right way of living. While we're all for more positivity and having our + sign today, we're not for having one of our favorite artists edit himself to the point of being embarrassing in public, on record, in interviews, and otherwise. That's the Larry Graham that is a joke. If Graham had never gotten involved with Prince to the extent he did, and effected Prince's music, we'd all still be heralding him as one of the greats from 40 years ago. Yet we now see him different. Cunning, almost ego-driven, and a "Right Fighter" (fighting to be RIGHT all the time, opposed to living and let live) - which sort of sums up Prince at this point. Prince has become a bigger ego than ever, and it's not even musical. It's his chemical trails rant. It's his nonsense ramblings like a lunatic savant. He's Stephen Hawking and Rainman all rolled into one. Many would blame Graham for bringing this imbalance out in him. To some extent, that's probably correct. Who knows if Prince would have been exposed to the rantings of Dick Gregory, a theocratic order of women being less-than, and almost downright anti-semetic, or otherwise had it not been for Graham and his "guidance"? 25 years ago, Prince peformed a birthday concert at Paisley Park. When someone shouted "Happy Birthday!", he simply said "Thank you". If someone did that today, what do you think he'd say? That's Graham right there. That is the Graham people hate. Graham the musician is great. Graham the Witness is a crying shame. If we separate Prince from his religion (when folks say "Oh I love the music on The Rainbow Children, but I can do without the preaching"), then why can't we separate Graham from his eternal "guidance" of Prince, and just enjoy "It's Alright". Because ultimately....isn't it alright? So you based this over long meaningless pontification on what Prince's response to a stranger yelling happy birthday would be today? | |

The problem with some folks, and why the industry is so bad today, is you have manufactured. no talent ass, bimbos that can't sing for sh*t, f*cking up the industry, while those with real talent are bypassed. The industry is run by males, so naturally they'll go after no talent females,d who they consider have the looks consumers want, yet half of them can't sing for shit live, and once consumers find out these no talent, has-beens, can't sing live, they don't last.
Talent lasts, looks fade with age. The problem with some ignorant consumers in this society, is that they are hung up on looks themselves, and bring their own insecurities about themselves, into the mix, which helps to justify the talentless bimbo sh*t the music industry tries to sell to those particular consumers. They know who will fall for that BS, and help support it. It's no different than the modeling industry and its effect on many young girls, brainwashing many young, girls and even older females, about what the ideal female should look like. So it's the fault of these industries and the consumers that fall for the brainwashing BS. which are the greatest lies ever sold. Dont play yourself by blaming the image of females promoted in the music business solely on men. The target demogrpahic of the record companies, young females, are fixated on pretty female singers who dress scantily and have good bodies. That is not just a male thing. Most of those records that Brittany Spears sold where bought teenage white girls. If she had to live on the money she makes from men buying her records, she would be in the trailer park where she belongs. All of the marginal bimbos like Beyonce and CArrie Underwood are propped up by image. If Beyonce looked like the chick from the movie Precious, you wouldnt know who she was. Alicia Keys is proof that good looks and exceptional talent can make it with the flood of pop bimbos. The key term here is exceptional. There was nothing exceptional about Tamar. Chicks that look as good or better and sing as good or better are standing up in the church choir every Sunday in every black church in America. They are a dime a dozen - and always have been. They backup Chaka Khan or some white rock acts when they want to add some "soul" to their thing. Being black, loud, and able to scream "YOu Gonna Love Me" from Dreamgirls gets you to Sowtime at the Apollo if youre lucky. Thats as good as it gets. Tamar had better: Prince took her to national TV performances in the US (SNL, Good Morning America) and UK (Brit Awards) and even played backup to her on a headline tour. If she could catch on after all that kind of launch, she is were she ought to be: the worst Prince chick ever. | |

Why are you always a  on here? You never really ad anything meaningful to anything, but rather sit around and make constant negative comments. You probably giggle to yourself when you type one of your million dollar (and highly overpaid) one liners, but the rest of us just kind of see you as a gnat. | |

Brofile, you've already been played and brainwashed by society, because you allowed society's bs about what is the ideal woman or man, influence your mindset. You never hesitate to show your disrespect, insults and dislike for females of a darker shade and put them down on the lowest part of the barrel, , but that's seems to be some kind of personal issue you'll have to work out on your own, as I'm not buying your usual BS. Prince also showcased the Twinz. Where is their career now? They were taken all over to the UK and many parts of the US, on stage with an international artist. They were shown on SNL as well and had much more of an exposure and length of time with him than Tamar. With the looks, you claim gets females like them over, and what you claim the the industry likes, they haven't gotten very far with just their looks and shade of skin have they? No one other than Prince fans even know who they were/are. They received international attention, yet here is the demand from the industry for them? So your theory doesn't hold much water. In your opinion as Tamar being the worst protege, that's a bunch of BS. She was the only one who actually had any talent as a singer. Not to mention her song Beautiful, Loved and Blessed being nominated for a grammy, even if it didn't win. [Edited 2/22/10 10:23am] | |

In the grand central plan of the Protege's I don't think Tamar ranks at all with the (female)proteges of the 1980's:Vanity6:Vanity Brenda Susan, Jill Jones, the Family via Susannah, & Sheila E. Was she really a protege or just a 'related artist'? like Shelby? Didn't Tamar originate with Destiny's Child?

Tamar has a voice and can sing. I shouldn't even categorize her as a protege. After her short stint with Prince, her single BL&B that she sang with him on the 3121 cd, did receive a grammy nomination. I do not know what transpired between her and Prince, that he no longer promoted her. But I do remember him bringing her on stage in March 2007, to sing on stage in Vegas, and she looked well. I also heard she sang at the aftershow that night, with Shelby J as well. Quite frankly, I've never really followed Appollonia's career post-Prince, but it did not last that long. I believe Vanity's career, however short, had a much longer run than hers. At least Vanity resulted in acting post-Prince. I just don't agree that Tamar should be labeled his "worst" protege, Tamar has a voice and can sing, but people seem to dismiss and degrade her because she wasn't what Prince usually promotes, which in the past were butterscotch/caramel complected females. | |

Yeah but Tamar qualifies as a protege for the mere reasons that Prince performed on stage with her several times, produced her songs and tried hard to get her signed to a label. Related artists are more left to fend for themselves I think. | |

True but for the past couple years she has been fending for herself. Tamar is like Shelby to me, part of the band not an official protoge. He picked the worst cover for her milk and honey. She has way better pictures now!

[Edited 2/22/10 16:17pm] Youre all over the place. Youre revealing more about yourself than you think you are anything about what I think of BV. When have I said anything about Bria Valente? I posted a picture. You’ve made up nothing but haughty lies and accusations. What does that say about you? I googled your name because I cant figure out why you come across so suspect and it looks like you have a HISTORY about stickin knives in folks who even wince a threat to Bria Valente. No wonder they got so much talk about BV posting on the net. http://prince.org/msg/5/293164 http://prince.org/msg/5/280980?&pg=10 http://prince.org/msg/7/322577?&pg=7 (plenty more)
What you don’t seem to realize is that your patronizing attitude is what puts folks against BV even more. Any fan with a rejecting opinion is put off all the more by your ludicrous and obnoxious allegations. Your hypocricy is the only thing that is translucent here, not me. Let it go. You paint a pretty picture of BV but youre not doing nothing for her but making people nod they heads when she fuck up. Damn shame and Im only saying what everyone wants to say. You don’t know What I think about Bv other than Im obviously not a fan of her work with Prince. I don’t know her personally but everyone whos a prince fan does know her business, so you mean to tell me as much as you know about her that you don’t know who her sister is???? Yea, ok. 
Whatatever going on with the Purple one and Bria personally, I could give a hoot bout. Everybody knows Prince is a pimp. If you think bragging about Prince being in love with Bria is something to be proud of, you are living in a fantasy world. Any woman or family member or friend of that woman, that would go on the internet to whoop and rave about how beautiful, talented and how happy Prince and her are together is worried about something. It also says a lot about the character and intentions of the woman, not to mention the friends and family. Especially if her friends and family know hes a pimp yet are STILL holding on to the reigns AND telling her to do so??? That’s some real interesting psychology. gtfoSilence is Golden, But Duct Tape Is Silver | |
