Okay, I like Rick James, but don't you think it's a little pathetic to have a forum about Prince on a Rick James website? Prince a prodcut of Mtv? Ha!

They make some good arguments both ways over there.

ok, huh uh. no no no lol, but nope.

They make a valid point that Prince didn't really chart until 1999 just around the time of MTV.

I thought I Wanna Be Your Lover was a number one record?

hold up... this one is my favorite...

i never knew it was this serious... i guess rick james & prince both had better watch their backs...

Okay, first if anything funky people, real musicians should be united.

I know there's some rough fun competition which is part of the Funk culture, but the Divide And BE Counquered stuff should not be flying in the Funk community.

Funk has always had real musicians, it's what makes Funk real and alive.

What really should be said, is how letting Hip Hop take over with "Fake Funk" over TRUE FUNK!

What can we do to change that?

What can we teach the babies when faced with choosing two roads, real instruments and creativity or no musicianship and Hip Hop uniform closets and thug hand gestures manuals?

How?

So all this Prince hating, Rick James hating is not right.

It's divisive.

Both are TRUE FUNKers and each his own original contributer to what Funk is.

No prissy here, no macho there, they are what they are. Real Funksters.

Should I start an "mtv audience was only going to accept effeminant black men like MJ and Prince instead of someone like Rick James" thing...nah.

Listen, Rick is cool and all with His songs but I'll always be a Die Hard Prince fan. He's just the Best Musician in my book and who cares about his Costumes,Height or Attitude. It's about his Vibe and his Music. His Energy. He's the Best. Prince is Gorgeous,Talented and the Sexiest Man in the World. I don't give a Fig about his Past Misadventures one Iota. He's the Best and that's it!

Wait! Here we go again, sure it's about his vibe and music, BUT it;s also about his clothes, costumes, height! His heels!

It's AAALL about his clothes too! It's not just "oh, it's all about the music, that's why I'm a fan!", riiight, Prince is Funk, Funk is all the clothes and all the style, and all the freakiness...AND musicianship! It's a complete package.

I just posted there - it's an all-out Org invasion

That just goes to show you how jealous Rick is of Prince. For all you who like to hate on Prince now you got a place to go.
