I was into Prince long before "Little Red Corvette" or "Purple Rain". Were you? That was not his first album. For all you know, I could be wanting another "Dirty Mind", "Controversy", or "1999".

Either you can't read, or you're in denial. I lose count of the number of times I've read people saying he just doesn't make music like he used too. I am NOT making assumptions. I call 'em like I see 'em. If he went back in time 20 years, alot of the so-called fans would shut their mouths and be happy. And the only ass I see is the one who posted before me.

I'm sick of all of y'all that whine and moan over "the old Prince sound", how he copies the Neptunes/James Brown/Hendrix/et.al. 3121 has been out for three days and all y'all can do is pick it apart. Everything the man does is placed under a microscope and analyzed. If he pleases group A then he pisses off group B. Y'all don't even act like real fans. Why are you here? Then, you pick on his religious beliefs. That's personal and not for you or anybody else to judge. Someone said that The Word sounds like him singing about other people's experiences and not his own. How the hell do you know what he has gone through in his life?. Were you there? If you don't like his music, or it doesn't meet your high standards, don't blame the Jehovah Witnesses...they don't write the lyrics or compose the music...Prince does. And how the hell can he copy Pharell when Pharrell copies him? Is it a crime for him to revert back to the old sound that y'all claim to love and long for so much? Get over it! It's not 1984 anymore. The man is not 26, and he doesn't wear purple. This is supposed to be a site for fans but from what I can see, I feel I'm in the wrong place.

Im with you on this - hes constantly under the microscope by fans and non fans - dont ask me why - maybe its because hes so damn fascinating and people are intrigued by him eh? Dont let the comments on here get to you - I did when I first came on here - and still do when I read some of the shite thats posted on here about him - but it aint all bad - its only people expressing their opinions - good or bad - your comments totally made sense to me - no matter what Prince does - it gets criticised - and thats how it will be for the rest of his musical life.....

with out all the negativity, and I must admit, its been
nice

but after a while I start missing these whiny bastards

[flame snipped -Tom] I was merely expressing my thoughts same as y'all do yours and I've been getting backlash for doing so. If what I said causes you to get your panties in a bunch, then maybe you fall into the category of the people I was referring to. If you can say what you want, then so can I.

no disrespect luv4u....
but you're right...this ISN'T Kindergarten....and I don't think we should be treated as such either. Someone wants to call me a bitch ...let them! if I want to call someone an asshole...why can't I? I understand the line has to be drawn somewhere but it used to be drawn at racial remarks or threats of harm.
just sayin'

I hear ya shorty, but as grown ups we can all discuss, debate etc., rather than getting heated and sending flames back and forth. If one gets too riled up, turn off the puter and walk away for awhile.

You ain't heard it, but I have. I've heard plenty of people, including myself say he they wished he would go back to his old sound. When Steve Ivory did an interview(if you could call it that) with Prince with Black Beat in 1991 he asked him "why don't you go back to sounding like 1999 and Purple Rain and etc. P's response was the expected "I'm not going back to that because it's called growth. If you want something to sounds like 1999 then listen to 1999, I'm someplace else now.

Yes he does have some fans that are/were stuck in the 80's.

it's making me so sick.
Everyone was dying for a new album,now here it is and everyone's just saying bad things.

I happen to like 3121,sure there are some songs i dislike,but i don't care. This was Prince's creation,why should he comprimise to anything or anyone?
