Clearly, there would never have been a september 11 without Prince & his NPGMC. The whole event was a tour-de-force by the major record companies 2 turn the world's attention away from the amazing xperiment Prince was creating at the time.

As intended by the majors, Al Quaida took all the blame, & Prince reduced his "10 songs per month" release schedule 2 a more acceptable "10 songs per year", under the majors' menace 2 kill more US citizens...

If not 4 Prince & his NPGMC, 3500 New Yorkers would still b alive, the USA would still b a democracy, the Talibans would still rule Afghanistan & Saddam would still be smoking joints in his palace...

The good news is that the Majors have found a way 2 keep releasing huge amount of musical shit every months. Thanx God they have found a way 2 reduce the NPGMC 2 a shadow of what it once was...



And you are a Prince fan.....how???


Actually i was in serious danger in 2001: such an amount of Prince music made me quit listen 2 anything else, & i was always singing insane things like "i don't know y... i want that girl" or "chocolate invasion starts here". My neightboors were getting sick of hearing all these Prince songs & i think lotsa people were in my case. There4, the major's move with september 11 was for our own sake. Now we have 2 listen 2 other music than Prince & that's 4 the best.

Everyone knows that Prince released Dimaonds & Pearls in October of 1991. What some people don't know is that in addition to an album that firmly establishes Prince's secret obsession with anal stimulation, the street credibility and "Gansta Glam" vibe of the multi-platinum selling album had an unintended consequence for it's success : It's influence on the U.S. crime rate.

Atlanta experienced it's 3rd highest violent crime rate in the country during this year. I postulate that much of this is largely due to Prince's stranglehold on the youth culture in America. His fluanting of the gun-mic, his avid cursing, his wildy street cred video, Gansta Glam, and Jugehead--the tour deforce of hard core rap rivaling anything that NWA or Onyx could have concieved of.

Prince's influence on pop culture is amazing. Throughout the years, there are things people do and listen to that have been influenced by him and NOBODY seems to give him credit for it.

Are there any other periods in history that you feel PRince's influence should have been more acknoledged, even if just musically?


huh?
Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid.

I must concur with AsianBomb.s insightful anal-
ysis. And to think Prince accomplished that after
playing a role in the fall of the Berlin Wall with
songs such as 1999 and Ronnie Talk To Russia. The
jury is still out on his contribution to the fight
against AIDS, VD and teenage pregnancy, but no one
can deny what he did for Trojan condoms.

I think due to the explicit and violent nature of jughead, warner bros should have been forced to re-release diamonds and pearls with out jughead, kind of like Ice-T and "Cop killer." I am suprised that they let him get away with such a controvesial song. Tony M., so ahead of his time!!!!!

He was also responsible for much of the violence in Wal-mart stores on Black Friday, I've heard. shrug
