I have read some pretty dumb quotes attributed to Rick James about Prince. If true, these quotes reveal how bitter Rick James was. Now don't get me wrong, I actually like Rick James, may he RIP, but his music and talent just can't touch P's. Now this is not something I am offering for discussion, but I've always heard stuff about what Rick thinks about P, but not the other way around. Anyone ever hear any comments from O-> about the "Superfreak"?

save for the "rest in peace, rick james" bit during houston's concert last week, no.

Didn't know about that. Just shows the class that P has cause I read a recent quote from Rick James where he called P's music dumb shit that people don't want to listen to.

I've never heard of Prince saying anything publicly about Rick. He always let him rant and rave without acknowledging any of it. I suppose Prince proved his point long ago anyway, so there really wasn't anything for him to say.

Prince would NEVER say anything like that about another recording artist...unless ya cover one of his songs without permission, that is.

He mentioned Rick in concert last night and played a little of the bassline from "give it to me,baby">Classy.

I think Rick was insanely jealous of Prince. He took every opportunity to diss the guy. Even when he was trying to be nice, he still took slight jabs at him...
