Unlike you, I don't frequent fansites of people whose music I haven't like in 10 plus years.I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

tricky99 said: ButterscotchPimp said: Oh, i'm sorry. i wasn't aware that the rule for this thread was an album by album discourse on what i think sucks and what doesn't. And i said AFTER "Exodus". Wasn't "Come" before that? See you still think Prince is a "genius". We differ right there. He was at one point. I don't believe he still is. Trememdous performer, sure. But in my mind he's made ONE good album in the last 10 years or so. So is that specific enough, or do you really want me to break down all the albums track by track and have me dissecting them. Cuz, i can do that too. But i'm sure the purple kool-aid kids would rather i didn't. U are correct "Come" did come before "Exodus". U are also correct I think Prince is a musical genius. I have never heard anyone say so-and-so is a former genius. Even when Prince is a 80 yr old man he will still be a genius. It's not a term u strip from someone once bestowed. U can argue that the work he is producing is not "genius" work. Does that work for u? I don't remember anyone stripped Einstein of the genius label when he didn't create a new theory of relativity. It would take u much to long to break every single album down, but yes "breaking down is great". Why not do and album or two? We are here because of the music. Why not discuss the music? Just because I will probably disagree with your opinion doesn't mean I'm not interested in it. As a side note I wonder if fans of Duke Ellington (who's career lasted like from the 20's to 70's or something to that effect) who still enjoyed his work past the first 20 years or so were belittled as "black and Tan" kids or something lol. [Edited 1/18/08 5:24am] Well there's a couple of issues. Sure you can't strip the "genius" label from someone like Albert Einstein. I think you can in reference to musicians. I mean you can certainly look at artists like Miles Davis and Stevie Wonder and refer to a point in their career where they clearly turned a corner and lost the magic so to speak. Prince certainly falls in that category. Maybe if i have some time later on today, i'll dissect an album or 2 to reinforce my point that Prince hasn't made a really solid album in at least 10 or so, with the exception being TRC. http://www.facebook.com/p...111?ref=ts

I would never "strip" genius from Stevie just because I wasn't satisfied with his later work. Nobody in any field of endevour maintains peak perforamnce for the duration of a career. The need to bring them down seems terribly silly. Why ever call anyone a genius in the first place if its temporary? And why can't u strip it from Einstein? I'm sure he slipped from his peak too. tell me where in your lifetime u have heard someone refered to has "former genius" so-and-so. | |

U can hold whatever opinion u want on Prince or anything else, but if u put them out to the world to see then be prepared for folks to ask WHY? I didn't have the answers you wanted to hear..thats all... you do more than ask why...you wanna know why your opinion isn't shared... I'm not acting as if you insulted me...you know you've slipped in snide insults not only on me but other posters...how come you don't ask the ones who agree with you why they share that opinion...see what answers you get...  ...those would be enlightening as hell, I'm sure... | |

roodboi said: tricky99 said: Wow a twat! thanks! I really think thats the first time I have ever been called a twat. I like it. Maybe I will change my logon to twat99. I won't call u any names because I'm not mad at u and bear u no ill will. But this may be a case of "if u can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen" and I guess u have vacated the kitchen. I was trying to be as logical and thought provoking as I can be. All of us hold opinions. Its when those opinions are probed is when we really get to see if that's how we feel and does what we feel have any reality behind it. Its a lot like religion. Many will sprout of how they believe this or that but when pressed to explain why they believe it suddenly they are insulted or mute or make a quick exit. I'm a great believer in rational thought. We would all be less prone to manipulation if we took the time to actually think about why we believe something. Part of that process is explainly to others why u believe something. It should clarify your beliefs in your own mind. If it doesn't u need to ask youself why? again..twist it to your needs....
I don't think you're looking for reality behind opinions, I think you're looking for an opportunity to debase others opinions...of course, you don't see it that way...you are doing the org a great service by proving us all wrong for our point of view...Prince himself should come give you a pat on the back, you deserve it...you can have your kitchen, it's kitchens like yours that make this place so entertaining...I'm not mad either but rather reassured why I post so infrequently in this forum..theres no tolerence from either side of the arguement...honestly, this thread started out great and props to you for that...but along the way you turned it into a steaming pile...again, props... don't make me hurt u  u better post more up in this piece there is only so many times u can look at JE's rack lol  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

BartVanHemelen said: tricky99 said: Going back to the original statement "Prince hasn't done anything good since...", that is such a dismissive way of critiquing any artist. And really it just isn't true. I don't believe any one of his so-called fans can listen to PE and truly believe that to be true.
Dude, it's true. And Prince agrees with me. The FACT is that in the 1980s, Prince was always pushing his latest music. Ditto in the mid-1990s. Outside of that he's almost always fallen back on the hits, while virtually ignoring his current album. Except for the time he pretended to be a jazzfunkrock muso bore -- and even back then he fased out his new music pretty fast. finally another that sees the light as i have since the jam of the year tour  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

I understand Prince doesn't hit the spot for u anymore but your leap in logic is to insist that the music most be "shit" and "garbage" becuse it doesn't move u. | |

I wish some would save their "Prince can do no wrong" attitude for those who really dont know or like Prince...that shit doesn't pass on long time fans who are open enough to realize that everything he's released isn't praise worthy...some of it is downright cringe worthy...but in some eyes, that shouldn't even be brought into account...yet, we can dis every other artist because of their cringe worthy material...it's fucking hypocisy at it's best... I've heard it over and over...it's old, it's boderline pathetic...but it is atleast entertaining...
and another thing...
whats with people thinking we shouldn't post here because we don't like things he's done lately...  ..I know I have praised Prince as much or more than I have not in this forum...is that what we should do, simply praise and save the criticism?? If so, this forum should only have one therad, make it a sticky...let the ass kissing commence... | |

Yesterday.
I heard he kissed a puppy yesterday. Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |

'THAT'S' what made him famous.. and ppl are just questioning (or are tired) of all the mysteria ... the stuff he's doing now.. no one would pay any attention to him, 'IF' is wasnt for the past.. but oh well , some ppl on this site when they give an opinion.. they are basing it on 20+ years of experience... and you may not understand all the veteran orgers around here and why they feel the way they feel.... (that's why you cant take it personal or misjudge someone who has 20+ years of Prince) .. and there's a HUGE different between..bait threads and ppl just expressing themselves in this thread ... (i know L40 is a sweet dude) have i told u lately that i  u?  man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

roodboi said: tricky99 said: I must have confused u with someone else with the terminology used to describe Prince's music sorry. I don't remember ever accusing u of being a lessor fan. Yes, I am the all-knowing OZ lol. I don't know where u get that. You were of the opinion that any old body could do the music Prince did over the course of the last 3 albums.. That certainly called for some evidence. U threw out the names and I said yeah u revealed yourself. Its easy to argue in a vaccum but u revealed how u "heard" Prince by listing those folks. Are u ashamed of those names u listed? Everything we say reveals something. I have revealed that I'm an all-knowing twat. U revealed that u think those artists outputs are comparable to Prince's last 3 albums. I'm ashamed of nothing...simply stated-again-those artists can and have turned out music just like Prince has for the last three albums...uninventive, uninspired and unoriginal...that's my opinion...nothing more nothing less...my listing of those names doesn't imply I hold them to the same standard as Prince...if anything, I think it shows my commitment as a fan by expecting more from him...normally, atleast for me, we only expect great things from people we consider great...when great things are produced by those we never considered, we're surprised...when less than great things are produced by those we praise, we're disappointed... tricky, honestly, your orignal post for this thread was mostly on point..but somewhere along the way you lost me when you spoke of questioning the reasons behind the opinions...I beg you, don't only question the negative opinion, question the positive as well...some of those answers are just as shady as what you've considered some of mine...
spelling edit [Edited 1/18/08 10:16am] I wrote long reply and it got lost lol. Anyway "Xpectations" are a bitch. | |
