Prince strives to put out work that to HIM and HIM alone reflects his highest caliber. Whether or not anyone else agrees that it does...is really on them and is by no means an exception to his greatness.


Do you really believe that? eek If Prince thinks this is his highest then, as a fan, I'm going to be even more depressed. smile

To be fair, Prince has had several (disproven) lawsuits brought against him in the past regarding credit for songs. And there have been plenty of rumors of him taking ideas from others that didn't go all the way to court.

The difference between his situation and Tim's is that the bulk of Prince's work is built on a foundation of original composition. He has written so many songs that accusations of him depending on someone else's work and passing it off as his own is questionable at best. He's continued to put out music whether Dez, Morris, Andre, Wendy, Lisa, Sheila, Renato, Maceo, Kirk (!) or anyone else was around or not. I'm not saying it's not possible he "borrowed" some ideas from others, but he's proven he doesn't need to.


Yeah, he's continued to put out music since all his good peer musicians left ... sliding caliber music, making me wonder if all the best ideas were, um, sampled. Sometimes I wish they'd come back so Prince could steal from them again...hmmm

I don't see it as rude. First, he didn't say it in a major publication, he apparently said it directly to the person who should be the recipient of any feedback.

Secondly, we don't know the context within which this conversation took place. Tim doesn't give us any more details i.e. when /why/ where or if Prince was asked for his opinion or not. Even if he wasn't, Tim is a big boy. Critics, the general press, talkshow hosts...all can, do and will have comments to make about any music he puts out there. Unsolicited or not, Prince has as much right as anyone else to an opinion. The criticism I would have for him would be to offer something more constructive than "you're not there yet", but maybe he did? Tim isn't telling the whole story I'm sure and Prince isn't talking at all -- maybe because he never meant to blab his thoughts in front of the whole world in the first place?.

The problem here is that folks seem to think that as long as you've sold x units and had x google hits, you've "made" it and anyone who tries to challenge you to do better and go beyond is showing you disrespect. If Tim was open to improving upon his craft, he could/should have asked for specifics, listened to any views Prince had to offer, weigh it and either apply or disregard it, not try to discredit the ability of someone who has clearly proven his musical talent by any measure you care to use.

Dialogue about music between musicians should be encouraged, not stifled for fear that an ego is bruised. If Prince's comments pissed him off that much, maybe that's a good thing. Maybe he'll take that as impetus to examine what he has done and push himself to do more instead of listening to yes men and hangers on who really couldn't give a crap what the music sounds like as long as Tim's paying the bills. Isn't this what many on here have crabbed about Prince for doing: not having folks around who will call him on it when he is resting on his laurels?

This is so ridiculous..
I'm sure Prince doesn't care, because think about it.. If it wasn't for the music of Prince Timbaland and Timberfake wouldnt have a template to create Futuresex Lovesound with. because that whole cd is pretty much prince beats.

as far as Justin Timberlake's dancing is concerned I Wouldnt even say he was a good dancer hes a good michael jackson and usher impersonator thats about it..

the styles of these two artists all stem back to Michael Jackson and Prince's influences and they should at least respect their elders because without them Timberlake and Timbaland wouldnt be as rich as they are right now..

Hell, I've even as gone so far as to think that Usher and Timberlake should pay Michael Jackson's court fees because of all the money they made from biting his style.

Timbaland is not all that, Aaliyah's stuff was never that great and as for timberlake I could go on an on. So I'll just say this, he sounds horrible like a strangling cat and a total hack. You can tell from the young producers that they lack talent or are not that educated in music just by listening to there music. I say get educated in music before you try to skim the surface because what I'm hearing are a lot of drop outs.

I don't really see a problem here. if prince is aware that this guy is an admirer of his then that gives him the right to tell the young one to move it up. problem is, young people today don't know how to listen. when i had coaches and people who i had respect for, i just shut my mouth when they had something to say. these days, kids think they are such hot shit that no one can tell them anything. sometimes they are going to get batted down and yes, they will get there feelings hurt because they are softer than the older generations and spoiled.

The gauntlet has been thrown! This moring while being interviewed by Donnie Simpson on the radio show of the same title, Timbaland spoke about his interaction with Prince saying that Prince is better than Michael Jackson but that he (Prince) has gone to far in trying to critique other artist music.

Timbaland said that Prince listened to his music and patronizingly said "son, your not there yet" to which Timberland responded with "ok, sense I'm running this!"He went on to say that times and "the game" has changed and He is on top now and chooses to work with less talented newcomers, its not the 70's anymore etc. In support of these comments and view, a track was played from Timbaland's forthcomming album featuring: Nelly fertado, and Justin Timberlake. On the track, Justin Timberlake makes a reference to Prince's "sexy never left"comment made at an awards aftershow in '06 saying Prince wishes he thought of the song and how he's on top and Prince is over with. Keep in mind, Prince's name is not mentioned directly but implied. The album has not been given a release date. When asked whether Timbaland will be at the superbowl, Timberland said yes he'll been in the stands saying "yeah Prince whatever"!

Hello,

It seems to me that Timberland and Justin are hot right now and they have something to prove. What is ashame is that they cannot give respect to their elders and it just shows how immature they are. The whole Justin making fun of Prince thing at the Golden Globes, making fun of how short he is? That was so stupid and what little respect I had for Justin disappeared. They seem like children with little talent to me.

I did listen to the Sexyback album to be fair. And other than Sexyback, which is fun, the rest of the album I really could not listen to, I thought it was horrible. So I did not buy it.


Prince has done and been through so much in his life and learned so much.
And for some it is normal to diss their elders and think "I don't need you, I
can do it better." It is ashame.

Timberland is the Hot producer right now. I hope he makes it and has a long career. I can think of many producers that were "hot" and many that have made
a good career for themselves and those that have disappeared. It will be
interesting to see if Timberland has got any staying power and Justin for that matter. I thought Justin's first album was better than the second. So we will see what happens.


At least Prince had a classy Superbowl performance without any wardrobe malfunctions.

I don't have anything to say good about Timbaland or in defense of him.

However, I will say Prince is insulting, demeaning, and haughty to people (when I've seen interviews ..and from what I've read) and since he's been struggling for the last 10 years to truly release something reflecting his highest potential he should really keep the derisive comments to himself.

He's too arrogant for the output he has now.

I watched the superbowl media performance on YouTube and someone there posted that Prince acted so self-important (i.e the showboating and glam mugging) that it made them sick. I instantly agreed with the comment.

I think asshole and diva attitude should be reserved for when you're in your transcendent moments. Otherwise it's best to be humble.

You know, put up or shut up. Contemporarily, he can't hang in the pop culture climate Timbaland is a staple in -- and he's embarrassingly tried. Yeah, they bite off of PRince, esp. Justin on this current album and certainly Usher, Bey, etc. but it's off the former greatness not his current stuff.


On one hand, I agree...to an extent.

But on the other head, I don't blame Prince for criticize the young generation of the 1990's OR 2000's, because TOO MANY people are beatbiting the living hell out of his sound, his dance moves, and his creative lyric writing skills.

Timberland
Justin Timberland
Ciara
The Pussycat Dolls
Ce-Lo
OutKast (especially OutKast)
2pac (when he is alive AND dead!!!)

And lets not forget the people of Prince's generation that were beatbiting him from day one.

Georgio
Ready For The World
The Deele
.....and too many people to remember off hand!

All I'm saying is if some of these whining C.R.A.P./Shyt-Hop/R&B (Rhythmless Bullshyt)/Pop artists want Prince to stop being so hard of them, then those same artists needs to show their musical elders a lot more respect by studying their music history and learn how to created better music than some of that crap they have those ViaCON/Clear Channel-related media promoting. Also, stop beatbiting Prince's MPLS sound so damn much!!!

Poor baby...Timberlake loves Prince and he knows it...he just got his feelings hurt. He needs to man the f*** up.

Anyone who disses an icon like Prince is a loser. Prince has love for real music and musicians and real songwriters and has a hard time with the formulaic stuff that Timberland and most R&B and rap producers vomit up every week.

If Justin Timberlake doesn't get his s*** together (and even if he does) he will be joining his buddies the backstreet very soon. Sexy back..giiiiit the f*** outta here. He can't even produce himself. That alone should humble his dumb ass.

Again, I see where you are coming from...But whether or not Timbaland lifted something for a track (no lawsuit yet...let's see what happens, but its still not cool...) doesn't take away from his past work..The only folks that's are dismissing Timbaland like he's garbage are the ones that just got put on to him over the last two years...The man's 90s work was some genre-pushing R&B...Check it out if you like...Prince shitting on Justin Timberlake is funny because he's Justin (I dig some of his album, but he owes a lot of his success to Tim, D, and his co-songwriters...)But Timbaland has done the work to gain some form of respect...That's all I'm saying..



I have to disagree. Now, Timbaland does have success when he can find an artist to get behind, if they are already going upward (Nelly and Justin). Where was he before Timberlake? He really hasn't hit gold success since Aaliyah's death. She was his main artist to date that he got props for. Think about it. With Justin and Nelly, yes, he is back himself before the public's eyes, but I can't recall any other artist that he has produced that sent his name before the public again. Timbaland has to realize that "ghetto" antics and trying to get a mini war going with Prince just doesn't make any sense. His fifteen minutes are really up.



You really don't know much about Timbaland, do you? Well, it's all good. I guess you forgot about Missy Elliot...He produced her first album; the album that is seen as groundbreaking in R&B/hip hop circles...Also he helped push Aaliyah to a whole other level..There are so many folks he produced in the late '90s that I don't have time to list..

This isn't a matter of Prince towering of Timbaland...Of course he's not in Prince's level...Please, tell us something we don't know...My point is dismissing Timbaland's career is silly...And shows once again that some hardcore Prince fans are in a bubble...

I think more than anything P wants the music today to take something from the past and not get stuck on the digital mess that we are stuck listening to and Timberland is one of the main people responsible...you hear nothing remotely close to a chord structure in his or anyone elses "music"...these so called producers are making disposable, McDonalds garbage that you will never get the urge to listen to in 5 years,5 months,5 weeks or 5 minutes....he has every right to tell these guys to step their sh$% up! As far as Timberfake is concerned...he is no different than any of the other out-the-throat non-singing spineless lames we listen to every day on the radio now....the only difference is...with his lack of talent...if he were any other race...we would have never heard of him.

See the difference with the Morris Day thing and the Timbaland thing is, Prince grew up with Morris so to speak. They've known each other before either were stars. And probably crack on each other just for kicks. Timbaland doesn't know Prince from a can of paint.

it seems prince always took michael's self-given title "king of pop" as a personal insult. (the "jester" in "daddy pop" was meant to be michael as well, i think.) why did prince care what ridiculous title michael gave himself?

Why is Tim all up on Justin's tip and hatin' on Prince? Now you know if Justin's album flopped he wouldn't be saying anything but Timberland is getting paid off his token white boy and he needs to protect him.

Have you heard some of the Dr. Dre albums dissing Timberland? Timberland sucks and so does Justin...he is jsut a fad that will be gone in a few years like all the others and left are Prince, Madonna and a few others.

How come when Justin does the halftime he needs 1000 dancers and a naked Janet but P goes up there by himself and tears it up. ANY WAY JMO

being a prince and jt fan i have 2 concur that prince sometimes can say 2 much about other artist.


Prince thinks that since music is not the way he used 2 here it (in other words it does not evolve from wat REAL MUSIC he believes in) then it is no good.
PRince get over it! There is nothing wrong with 2 day music in my words. they r jus doing wat they like (and buy they i mean "new artist") as a matter of fact doesn't that make prince seem a bit hypocrtical? he is always creative and does his own thing but other artist cant do wat they believe 4 as music? somebdy stop me b4 i go 2 far> neutral neutral

Oh please, Timbaland can make some beats sound crisp, add a three note pre-programmed synth line and that's IT!!!

he has admitted he can't play any instruments.

we are STILL in a very superficial period for mainstream music... it's still all about the APPEARANCE and SYNTHESISATION of talent, without there usually being too much when you take away the outlandish productions.

I can't stand Timbaland.In fact,I don't even consider him a "producer" at all.He's more of a programmer.....programming beats,samples and other sounds that already exist.He doesn't actually go into the studio and create new music from scratch.Has anyone ever seen him play an instrument? His music is all about beats,not melody.....just alot of noise,really.It's completely disposable.

As for Justin Timberlake....he's nothing but a punk ass wannabee with a weak falsetto and overly-choreographed dance moves.No substance whatsoever.

Even though i like Timbaland as a producer of modern music he is just temporarily hip with his street cred that will be overwith in 5 years or less.Temporarily hip=timbaland vs.Timelessly cool=prince.Im sure most people have the common sense to tell the difference between the Champagne and the sparkling wine.Timbalands bitching could be down to record sales.All this rubbish reminds me of Eminem dissing Moby for no real reason a few years ago.That was all sales as well.

From Housequake OT:


The gauntlet has been thrown! This moring while being interviewed by Donnie Simpson on the radio show of the same title, Timbaland spoke about his interaction with Prince saying that Prince is better than Michael Jackson but that he (Prince) has gone to far in trying to critique other artist music.

Timbaland said that Prince listened to his music and patronizingly said "son, your not there yet" to which Timberland responded with "ok, sense I'm running this!"He went on to say that times and "the game" has changed and He is on top now and chooses to work with less talented newcomers, its not the 70's anymore etc. In support of these comments and view, a track was played from Timbaland's forthcomming album featuring: Nelly fertado, and Justin Timberlake. On the track, Justin Timberlake makes a reference to Prince's "sexy never left"comment made at an awards aftershow in '06 saying Prince wishes he thought of the song and how he's on top and Prince is over with. Keep in mind, Prince's name is not mentioned directly but implied. The album has not been given a release date. When asked whether Timbaland will be at the superbowl, Timberland said yes he'll been in the stands saying "yeah Prince whatever"!



"Could you speak up and stop mumbling
I dont think you're even clear
When you're sitting on the top
it's hard to hear you from way up there.
I saw you tryin to act cute on TV
"Just let me clear the air."
We missed you on the charts last week
Damn that's right, you wasn't there

Now if sexy never left
then why is everybody on my s**t
Don't hate on me just because
you didn't come up with it
So if you see us in the club
go on and walk the other way
Cause our run will never be over
not at least until we say"


Angels, love and light,
Synergy

It Snowed April 21st, 2016 and My heart is irrevocably broken. I love you and miss you, Prince. Thank you for giving me so much. 🌹 RIP 💜

It's great to see someone shit on these dead asses that make so-called music today. However, Prince really can't shit on him too bad since he himself still makes sellout shit every now and then like "Incense and Candles". Prince needs to step aside and let me finish the job. I'll talk about these little assholes so bad they'll be running home to mama crying.


to which Timberland responded with "ok, sense I'm running this!"He went on to say that times and "the game" has changed and He is on top now and chooses to work with less talented newcomers, its not the 70's anymore etc.


It sure ain't. The music of the 70s and 80s was fast, funky, and hard. The music of the 90s and 2000s is slow, midtempo, and as soft as a gay man's dick watching a "Girls Gone Wild" video.

Prince thinks that since music is not the way he used 2 here it (in other words it does not evolve from wat REAL MUSIC he believes in) then it is no good.


And he is absolutely correct.
