He will retire when God takes the last breath out of his body. Until then he will continue to make music for those of us who love and adore him. nod

Every time some hater comes in calling other people "fams" and such, I think of that David Letterman skit with the white announcer guy, who puts down some hot television star or show, talks about how "over" it is and how pathetic the whole thing is. Then the camera follows him to his dressing room, where he's got a bunch of paraphernalia and a shrine dedicated to said star/show whereupon he breaks down weeping over how much loves the show.

Why are you'll letting ccolin88 get to you? He's just a disgruntled fan who doesn't know how to let go of the past like a lot of folks, espeicially on this site. It's his right but he and many others are missing out on the great stuff Prince is doing now and that's their problem. Besides anyone who thinks Jamie Foxx is the King of R&B is someone to be taken seriously. eek nuts

Actually, he's quite funny, he keeps saying: I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm gone....and he's still here. Chances are, there isn't a web site for www.hateprince.com. and he has no place else to go. Plus, we keep antagonizing him, which could go on forever.He needs the attention.

I'm not talking about the release date. I talking about today. Remember, you said that you wouldn't come back until 3121 was number one. Well, I guess it's #1 because you're here posting away. nod

It's ok. There are plenty of people on here that have a love/hate relationship with Princey. You love to hate him, but you can't get enough of him, so you just keep comin' back. cool

i agree! ccollin88, on behalf of my orgers who feel the way i do, this is for you: boo boo boo
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Um, I hate crap like that. I am nearly 36 myself and I do not appreciate your comment... as my tits are nowhere near falling. I don't know how old you are, but you need to come correct before you start spewing off shit you don't know about.

Anyway, 36 is the new 26... where have you been? Look around, my friend.
Come here, babe.. yeah...

There's a big difference between a one song performance on a tv show and a live concert/show. If the reaction at BET is sooooo important to you, and it bothers you and Prince is not doing it for you anymore, then hang it up, take a break---leave!


Exactly, ccollin88, you seem awfully concerned about what other people think of Prince. It's a little bit like middle school to be so concerned with public perception. What? You think that people don't know that Prince is one of baddest musicians ever (live or otherwise)? Again, if you don't dig Prince anymore why not just leave it alone?

I guess I don't understand what you want to have happen? Do you want this entire website to jump up and collectively agree with you? Do you want every member here to join you in your Prince pity fest? Not everyone is the same, and obviously your views lean toward he negative and shitty. Again, I think Prince is better than ever. How are you gonna prove me wrong?

You point out 3121 and the BET awards. Well, fuck I got that beat. I could point out Prince's horrendous and lackluster stage time at the James Brown show. This was the 80's at the so called "peak of his powers". You know what happened? He went onstage after MJ, confused the crowd, got his own glove thrown at back at him, and knocked over a stage prop lamp. Now THAT was a bad crowd reaction. Maybe you think Prince should have retired then huh? God knows what people were saying about him then.

Maybe he should have quit earlier in his career when he opened for The Stones and got booed off of the stage and pelted with shit.

The bottom line is this: If you don't dig Prince anymore just hang it up. However, trying to get others to view Prince as you do because of public perception is just plain dumb.

[Edited 7/18/06 9:40am]

I don't want to start an argument over that appearance with JB. However, I thought Prince was just being Prince. It wasn't like he planned to go that night and make a special guest appearance. The only negative thing that I saw was when he grabbed the stage prop lamp and he went down with it. I didn't see the glove being thrown back at him.

I think he is doing exactly what he needs and wants to do- his own thing. It's ridiculous for another person to speculate on an artist's ability to continue his/her artform in whatever fashion they choose.

Now I could understand questioning his need to retire if he was still walking around here with assless chaps on However,Prince has matured.

It appears he is more into developing other artists like Tamar than he is into trying to recapture his purple rain (reign) glory.

Just let him do his hot guitar backups like at the BET Awards this year, and leave his black ass alone! lol He is doing more good than harm to a music industry that is willing to sell anything to the highest bidder (maybe even their very souls)!

I still love and respect Prince as an artist. Anyone who would jeer or ridicule him is either a hater or person who does not appreciate or recognize REAL fuckin' music. Wonder what they had in their iPODs... lol
Never let anyone put u in their little box...hell, u might start suffocating!

thats debatable.

and all his past protoges, being women, were led by a man who didnt know what young girls really need. he still doesnt. and i dont think he's supposed to.

he'd be better served calling for a womans advice in such matters, or getting a woman to develop certain aspects of the female artists he wishes to 'develop'

imo.


God Created Woman. and i'm not so sure He created her to sit back and let a man do certain parts of a job she can do much better, as he can also do certain things better than she.

It seems prince has lost the magic yall.He has isolated america with his weirdness and his insistance on sounding like the 70's in his music instead of futuristic like he did in the 80's.I hate to say if But going at the current rate prince will be a lounge act in vegas in 5 years guaranteed.I think he should retire in Los Angeles and become a guitar institue instructor.Or maybe do the lucrative thing and do movie soundtracks exclusively.I don't know,I just hate to see people laughing at him and teasing him like they were today when I was on the subway.....It's embarassing..What do you think he shoul do?
Remember don't be selfish and say release more subpar crap like we got from these last two albums.What will make history shine better on our fallen hero?

A NATURAL then why when he first started in 1978 his label wouldn't let him go on tour because he had the stage presence of a dead man and the show was horrible....HE'S NO NATURAL...HE WORKED HIS ASS OFF 10 HOURS A DAY TO BECOME A BETTER PERFORMER FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD.....
