Prince in Essence So much for the competition-now we know who's really bad. 
In the latest edition of Essence magazine with Mary J. Blige on the cover (June 2008) there is a one page (page 67) write up on Prince. "HE IS LEGEND" The story talks about the great things he has done in his career and that he is about to hit 50. The picture is from Musicology era..... Nice little story... Picture from the article 
From their website CULTURE 67 He Is Legend We celebrate Prince’s thirtieth anniversary in the game 68 Our Summer Music Hot List See who scored the No.1 spot 72 The Arts The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater celebrates a major milestone 82 Books Sidney Poitier’s new book; a collection of stories about African children; top ten beach reads Peace [Edited 5/19/08 18:14pm] Prime aka The Kid

Prince deserves respect, and he always gets it througout the Black community, especially Jet, Essence and Vibe magazines. | |

Glad they showed the love again.
One small problem I had with the story was that it didn't mention anything he's done new in the 2000s. They recognize his staying power, but no mention of any project, tour or performance post '90s. | |
