You know, Foxy Brown, the Mac, Shaft, ect. Do you think Prince ever liked movies like that? Man, they were so bad they were good!!!

Do you seriously expect us 2 appreciate this ignorance?

Of course he liked them. He wears the permed hair, he wears the pimp rags, and he carries himself in a "bad ass" way.

Listen to the man talk, krys...

Listen to the way he made Morris talk-- doesn't it seem familiar?
Hell-- isn't Purple Rain basically a blaxploitation film circa '84?

Pretty much... And you can tell he is/was a huge fan of "The Mack"...

Neversin.

Hell yeah he dug those. Those movies were great and entertaining and funny. Prince seems to be a fan of movies in general...soo...He prolly dug those a lot. They're up his alley...kinda...

I think he liked Liza Minelli movies better. Just check out his look for the past 25 years.

Oh brother!

I bet he even dug "I'm Gonna Git U Sucka"

prince is a pimp !!!
MANY MANY MANY times i have watched SUPERFLY and thought prince ripped off some of the main charracters style by the way his name is PRIEST...he wears a gold cross around his neck is a light skinned black man and he wore badass custom clothing...

He liked to keep big pimpin style.

cinnamonjo said:

I know that's right. I don't see why he wouldn't like them. He may have some misgivings about them now, but he was young and he probably thought they were fun

You say that as if Prince made up his own name

PurpleRighteous1 said:

no i am saying its very possible that he identified with priest in many ways

y'know, i always thought that he looked like he coulda been the littlest pimp in minneapolis back in the day...with that farrah fawcett 'do he had...put his ass in a custom-made suit, a couple gold chains and some sweet hoes on the side and he woulda been the baddest muthafucka.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

u are FUNNY
but i have had the same thoughts...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Expecially during the D&P era...man everything about that man during that time screamed 1970's PIMP!

I thought the same thing too. Prince also likes the big brim hats and the trench coats.

Yep. Remember when he wanted to call Vanity 6 The Hookers?

vainandy said:

So now we all know...next time a reporter asks "Prince what would you be doing if you weren't doing music?" he'd be like "Well I always had dreams of being a pimp"

I can see him smaking Vanity and Apples around right now...a foot shorter than them demanding to know where his money is as they cowar in fear...Pimp Princey can sure get testy when those girls hold out on him!

Bitch! Where's my money!

(max julian voice) get me my mon-neeeeey!!!!

I can tell you that at the last celebration I glanced at the videos by the tv in the recreation room of Paisley Park (the part they opened for about one hour), and I remember a Bill cosby comedy concert and the movie Jason and the Argonauts. !!!

The guy still hasn't lost his obsessive thing with Greek mythology I see...

Neversin.

Krystal666 said:

You remember that walk in the beginning of the D&P video-- he looked like he was about to go on a pimpin adventure or something.
They shoulda made picture books called Skipper the Pimp...They woulda sold more than those Madonna books, I bet ya.

I love that avvie Prettymansson....Makes me wanna sing curtis mayfield.

cinnamonjo said:

Damn right

I wonder if Prince had a crush on Pam Gerier when he was yonger? She was sexy-and had big boobies!

vainandy said:

I couldn't agree w/you more Vain Baby. P definitely got some Max Julian Mack action going on for sure. He grew up in 70's like alot of us Old Schoolers. P didn't have an album called Goldn*gga for nothing. If giving an album a title like that isn't pimpish , hell I don't know what is at all. Don't be fooled, Prince hasn't turned in his playa card.

: "Diamond In The Back. Sunroof Top. Digging In The Scence With A Gangsta Lean."

Of course he does. That goes without saying. There is sooooo much of "SuperFly" in the movie "Purple Rain" , it's not even funny. Some of the lines from "The Mack" as well. Ron Oneil was a blueprint for P.
