my nieces, ages 11 and 10, called me in the room to tell me that future baby mama was on one of the cable music channels. the older one says prince is old and dresses like a girl, the younger one says prince stinks. realizing, of course, that these are young children and not adults, i said back to them that Ciara was really a man and that's why bow wow broke it off and then demonstrated how beyonce fell down the steps at her show, using a bratz doll to show how she fell. they shut up after that.
on a side note, my 8 year old nephew doesn't like prince either, but i gave him a dollar to say he liked prince..which he took

My nieces and nephews know better than 2 say bad thingz about Prince when I'm around.

When I was little (aka less then ten years ago), I always thought Prince was a cartoony glittery man who wished he was a lady. I also thought he was friends with my mom, but only because my mom remarked once that they were the same age

When I was very young, I kinda sorta maybe thought P was white. This outraged my dad, who knows black music so well he could teach a course on it.

I was scared of him.

I thought he was some kinda filthy nympho underground artist.

I was kinda right

It's all too childish.

my eight y.o. likes prince (sometimes)







its either beat em or join em

Well first off let me say that the Beyonce fall not funny she could have really hurt herself! Second I have my nine year old brother into Prince, not the way that I'm into him but he likes him and dances off of his music! My 3yr old and 1yr old nephews when I point to a picture of Prince and say "this is uncle Prince" all they do is . so cute and gullible!

how cute
training them young

I'm a tutor, and sometimes my students will ask me what kind of music I listen to cause I'm still pretty young.

When I mention that Prince is my favorite artist they usually respond with one of the typical response ("...hes so girly", "...he's weird",etc.)

So I school them for real



....Then they usually just think I'm weird too

If only the slapper had broken her skanky neck the music world would be better off with one less slutty, phony comercial piece of crap destroying the airwaves and the IQ's of morons

The biggest problem in the world today is adults "reasoning" with children.

The proper response to children dissing Prince is, "Go to your room right now...and just think about what you said. And don't come out until you can apologize!"

Pfff, great sarcasm did you pull that from out your ass?

From the mouth of babes... Kids are honest when it comes to things like these. They haven't perfected their lying skills yet. Thats what society is for it teaches us how to ignore our initial impulses and lie to say what might not offend someone else. If a child sees a grown up and to the child the grown up looks weird, I let them express that. Because later on we will tell these same children "Don't talk to strangers or anyone that makes u feel uncomfortable." But if u don't allow that child to express his/her reservations about the way a certain grown up looks or dresses or acts how will they ever be comfortable trusting their own instincts? Prince's ways have never really bothered me even when I was a child but I could certainly see why the cover of Lovesexy would alienate some. I mean you show the average child a picture of Prince in his Lovesexy outfit where he is dressed like a little schoolboy, and u r bound to get some laughter and jokes. Its fine because later on in life they will discover how to dress it up in their mind by telling themselves " He's an artist and artists are allowed to be different."

My little beauties would n't dare, but if they did..
i'm sure as hell gonna take ur advice!!!

My daughter is 8 now and says she likes Prince, but only his "music". She says that Prince is "nasty". Once when she was 7 I told her to put on the Purple Rain dvd and she said "I'm not touching that filth!" I just had to laugh it sounded so funny coming from an 7 year old! It's funny because my dad used to let me watch purple rain as a kid. He would record it on the VCR from cable but edit the "Lake Minetonka" part out.

Theres a video for Future Baby Mama???

Probably a digital music only channel.

lol- i love reading how everyone's traning the kids/nephews/neices to get into Prince music. its hilarious.

my bros don't like him b/c of his looks, but they were dancing to Let's Go Crazy yesterday, so maybe there's hope.

FlamingRaindrop said:

It's fine not to like her, but I wouldn't wish death to anyone.

KidaDynamite said:

My six year old absolutely loves listening to, and watching P ...my eight year old, however, does not like him...
