Forget Producers, Name Some Beatmakers That Prince Should Hire To Make Beats For The Next Album?

Prince will NEVER hire an outside producer to help him produce new music.

But I can see Prince hire some beatmakers to create new drum tracks for him to use to add on his own instruments to finish them off.

With that said, name some beatmakers that can try to help him out.

Hmm, how about Sheila E, Michael B, John Blackwell, Bobby Z, Cora ...any of them or anyone with skills and a pair of wooden drum sticks.

I always prefer live drums. Chris "Daddy" Dave would be tops on my list.

How about that secret Revolution band member from way back, Mr. LM 1 .

Prince was the most creative beatmaker in the 80´s , he doesn´t need a beatmaker, he taught them all how to create beats...he was mad creative with the Linn drum machine back then.

Beatmaker? What the heck is a beatmaker? Is that a real musician or is it someone who punches buttons on a computer?

Unless "beatmaker" is another word for "drummer", I say stay away from beatmakers.

beatmaker = drum machine programmer (mostly for hip-hop, sometimes for funk too)

Have to say, some of you guys are real narrow minded....You think Prince never used a sampler? Batdance anyone?

It's NOT sampler that I'm opposed 2, it's the weak ass SAMPLES that have been used over and over again.
