Make Prince Better

Are their any contemporary or past artists that Prince could hook up with to do an album that would inspire him and or make him better? Are their any live acts that could open up for him that would push him to be even better so that people would be like damn Prince was the shizit, but so in so gave him a run for his money? I think there are several but I wanna see what you say?

He can't get better cuz he's already the best.IMO, Prince is a musical god and there's not one single person,living or dead,who can even cum close 2 him! He's so great that he simply overshadows anyone he's ever shared a stage with!There's no competiton out here 4 him. Being sexy and gorgeous doesn't hurt him,either! LOVE him!!

See heres the thing, One of the things I notice, and I am a prince devotee also, is that so many of us on here make the mistake of holding the man in such hi reverence. You act as if the man is Jesus Christ, he is untouchable, the end all and be all. No one is perfect and everyone needs inspiration. Frankly I find some of his music these days to be redundant and less than inspiring, If he hooked up with say a Questlove or a Marcus Miller or a David Bowie or a Kanye West, or Thom Yorke, or Outkast, or many others for that matter, it would perhaps give his music a sense of urgency. I mean my only qualm is so many of you here venerate this man as if he is a saint, if he made a musical with his farts, looped it with a synth line, and threw in a guitar solo you would say it was pure genius. Be objective. I love the man. He is brilliant, but he could also be a little less egocentric and work with these artist who all have love for him. Possibilities people, possibilities!

I love when Prince records with a band. So I would enjoy him playing with those that compliment his obvious skills. I love him on keys, and guitar. But it would be lovely to hear Raphael Saadiq play bass. ...Chris "Daddy" Dave on drums. ...Some vocal harmony with Goapele biggrin

That said - I do enjoy Prince, as is, with consistency.
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.

Jesus? would that count?
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

Which begs the following question, What Would Jesus Play?

That is in deed an intresting comment/question. I've so many answers for that one I don't know where to begin, so I will keep it light and what not.

Jesus Might just play glasses of water.

Jesus would mostlikely require a little mike time.

Jesus was a capenter, so he was use to hitting things. Thus percusion might be a realistic statement in this sIrael natured discussion.

Jesus is multitalented, so you could just stick him in anywhere, even behind the seens

Jesus would probably be a better overall musician than Prince cause he's perfect. I'd like to see Jesus playing slap bass, tambourine, and back up yodels.(Jesus looks like a yodeler)

How bout this Prince & the O.B.A.B (Oldskool Biblical Allstar Band)
Prince - Vocals Guitar
Jesus - Slap Bass, Tambourines, Yodels
Moses - Yukelalee
Joshua - Jew Harp
Abraham - Drums
Ruth - Percussion
David - Keyboards
The Apostles - Back up Vocals/Dancers
Horn Section - The Horns of Jericho

I've never heard that quote. It's Xtra Cool. However, If Jesus wanted to get out of being crucified, all eye would have had to do is run and hid that night he knew it was comming.

Through reincarnation, you've picked people that shared the same soul and spirit.
