awesome thing about prince (musically speaking)

in the old days he used 2 b the AVANTguard in music, being experimental, original and looking 4 new ways 2 his music. today he is the RETROguard, the funk soldier, a basic root in the tree of music and one of the few links left nowadays between the past & the present generations in music business. who else has such a wide-spread role in the pop industry 2day?i guess no-one

I dislike the fact prince thinks he is some sorta elder spokesman to what "real" music sounds like. Hello the synths? He used them all the time in the 80's and didn't do that funky stuff in the 70's till last year really? Prince ain't shit. Music might be good, but that shit annoys me.

Prince gave up on pop huh? I hope not.....

While you are swinging on MC Hammer's 15 year old jock hear this-


When Prince talks about "real music" he's not talking about not using synths. Hell, Prince used them on both the "Musicology" tour and album. He's talking about people who can't really play, can't really sing, and rely on samples, pore-recorded vocals, and dats.

Prince is talking about Britney Spears and every other incarnation of her type.
