He never became uncool in my perception. IN fact, he is cooler now than
he was 20 years ago. He is much more slick in his appearance and not
as freaky looking. (all those wild outfits from the 80's)
His music is cooler than the top 10 on billboard..


see those outfits of the 80's is what i consider to be cool

Prince is always cool with me, but maybe my cool isn't "cool".

Hey, I'd sudgest that Prince was never cool, he's always been a geek with a loud fronting of coolness.

However I'm sure that would be looked upon as a negitive comment toward prince, and then I would be seen as "uncool".
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

Is the text comming up on my screen the same as the text others are seeing? eek sometimes I'm truly shocked at how others percieve my comments. rolleyes Jealous of Prince me? Hardly. lol I've got real God and real Love in my life. What's to be Jealous of Prince over? His Popularity? I'm sure Prince is only too well aware his Popularity is a collective illuion based in about as much sense as so badlly mistaking my words.

I thoroughly stand by the message in my sig, and yet, reading that Sinead and Prince still don't get along, seemingly due to Prince's arrogance, well, I would have to say that if the rumour is true (and I'm sure there is more to it and Sinead is to blame as well) then Prince MAY have become uncool to me as of about two days ago, when I read about that rumour.

But see, I just can't buy it that it's all Prince's fault. I'm sure he's capable of assholeism, but I can imagine Sinead has her demons as well; being a Catholic priest AND drug user/smoker is kind of funny, to me.

Let me get this straight. So you've got real God and real Love in your life as opposed to what you feel Prince has and yet you sit here day in and day out casting your stones at Prince. Either your God and your love just ain't working for you or you're just fucking jealous, deal with it!

I have never found him "uncool" I did not like the assless pants but it showed he had balls for pulling that off and not to mention a nice ass. and I did not like the ponytail in Grafetti bridge.

For me he lost a lot of his original mystique when he started pandering to the hip hop crowd in the early nineties.
I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man and loved it. But now the dream is over and the insect is awake.

The lawsuits against UPTOWN and a few fan websites have been extremely 'uncool'. I really hated him then.

And being a JV is pretty uncool too. Renaming songs like 'the cross' into 'the christ', all that self censoring like 'what the duck' for example is just stupid.

Performing with people like doug e. fresh, tony m., kirk johnson.

Shouting 'Join the club' while performing the (to me) holy song 'anna stesia', and totally destroying the song by doing that.

Performing on American Idol was very uncool, too.

How could he release crap like "1999 : The New Master" ????

All those announcements of projects "coming soon". He should learn to shut up, until he finished a project. It's just not not nice to tease the fans with music they will never get to hear in the end.

His failure to deliver a well produced DVD of his best tour in years, ona 2002. I was so extremely happy when I heard that he is going to release a DVD from his ONA Vegas concert, and was so disappointed with the final product.
He is surely a musical genius, but a very bad business man. Compared to products that other artists are able to deliver, this DVD is pure crap. I'm speaking about technical issues, not the music.

I think his rapping is extremely lame and old fashioned (in a bad way). I don't like 90% of all the rap artists, btw. There are only a few that I have respect for, but Doug E. sounds just weak to my ears. If you like him, good for you.

Prince's uncool moments:

1. The stories/reasons behind the makings of The Black Album & Lovesexy. Especially when hip-hop/rap was on the rise within our modern pop culture.

2. When he was force to change his stagename to prince

I don't compare him to anyone, I just don't like his rapping. It's not special at all. I could do what he does, everybody could do it. Some rappers do have great skills, but not him. The only thing he does good is that human beat box routine. That's the only respectable trick he has to offer.
