"Jughead" is probably Prince's worst song ever out of....I don't know, well over 1000 released (considering work for others)? I compared it to Kid Rock's signature tune in recent years (minus his earlier memorable hits), sadly maybe the biggest hit of the year and it is EVEN WORSE THAN THAT SONG.

"Jughead" is indulgent and silly, a waste of Prince's talents.....

"All Summer Long" is NOT EVEN A COVER. It's the exact music, great music, of Warren Zenon and Lynard Skynard....If Kid Rock is maturing as a musician, than so is Weird Al who has done the same thing with humor (intentionally!) and for many years as well as releasing original tracks. Kid Rock matured singing the same damn stuff thematically but slightly editing it for make it Wal Mart ready.

If Miley Cirius went from the stuff she is doing now to "All Summer Long" (or the first single that bombed and they are trying to rerelease, "Soo Hott") that would show maturity. Kid Rock actually had some great original tunes on his first two albums. He is becoming more and more homogenized and safe and immaturing (if that were a word).

"All i said was that the white rapper from detroit had matured and Prince hasnt, which is true"

How do you know this is true?

This is a really silly thread. Kid Rock? and Prince? On the same thread? The same paragraph? WAC!!!!!

You know what’s really WAC besides that you used that word, (do people still use this word?) is that if you look at the charts, that Kid Rock released that album over a year ago, and its still at the top of the charts, Prince's dropped off the charts immediately.
That Kid Rock is getting good critical reviews for his album. Shouldn’t things be the other way around?
As a Prince fan, that is what I find WAC
.

i need 10 pizza's to deal with this.

what a joke

who fuckin' cares about sales and critics ?

haven't you got ears and an opinion of your own

Wow such a waste of time here..NEXT!!

lol yeah cause goofing off on a fan site should be productive

what is it you're doing here then ?

Dewrede said:

You havent understood a word in the whole thread have you?

i have and i consider it to be crap

Dewrede said:

LOL, ok I'll take youre word for it

And of course, sales are the best indication of quality and musical maturity. Now you're confused and showing yourself off as a fanboy. If "New Power Soul" by insanity was a big seller, it might have some people here crowing about Prince, but would still be maybe his worst overall album!

Kid Rock is getting good critical reviews cause I guess people like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Werevolves of London"! And to say that he is showing musical maturity, I guess I didn't keep in mind that album with "Grit Sandwhiches for Breakfast" (I had to look that shit up!). As for great reviews, Allmusic.com gave this album LESS than it gave "American Bad Ass", which was AWFUL!

The thing is, I was a Kid Rock fan. Bought "Devil Without A Cause" and loved it....never bought "Cocky" for some reason, but "Picture" is pretty good and I can appreciate it but bought the album showing his early years. so he grew but he considering where he started. Bought the 2003 album but didn't get beyond his rather good cover "Feel Like Makin' Love" (BTW, a good cover because it doesn't sound exactly like the original) but I figured I shouldn't bother with the new one at all.

I was in a club on fri night, they were having an 80's night and I asked for a Prince song and they refused 2 play him...I dont get it

Mars23 said:

OMG..that was so funny...

BTW, if you're part of "everyone" that just can't wait to hear covers of Warren Zevon, none of the shows are sold out so you can go ahead and end your excruciating wait for these hot tickets.

Kid Rock still makes music?

So,we're supposed to believe that charts and record sales matter? Lil Wayne just received 8 Grammy nominations.Isn't that proof enough that sales and charts and awards don't mean shit these days?

VinnyM27 said:

Dude you are going into too much detail here which isn’t warranted for this silly thread.
My point was simple, Kid Rock was a cornball white rapper who was a big joke to most people in his early career, still to a many.
He toned down his dopey rap machismo, and his lyrics are a little more palatable. What i said about the guy is that I would never have imagined that this dope had it in him to change after all these years and make something listenable. Nobody is calling him a genius or god or anything like that.
Hey maybe if Kid Rock can cut out his cornball shtick, maybe Prince can too.

See there is a positive to this silly thread

You've got to be deaf, dumb and blind as a bat to compare Kid Rock to Prince.

2 different types of music. Kid has his fans and Prince his. Both are good at what they do.

the same can b said of those thinking prince can do no wrong r the nuts on this board

Ugot2shakesumthin said:

it could also state that his fans hold him a pandora box and only want him 2 play certain songs that he's done thousands of times b4. i'd rather him b true 2 his artistic self and 2 quote a line from a well not liked movie "so nobody wanted the music u were making, SO WHAT?..." there r those that would rather hear him do his new music over the tired renditions of lgc, lrc, and most of all pr

amen!!

Kid Rock?!

I smell bullshit.
