We don't need to be talking to a dim wit. Let's leave the troll alone. 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 | |

If you think that Prince's new music is archaic then that's cool...I respect that... But judging from all your previous posts on the Midget you seem to be getting your jokey joke on with a little bait added on...Your slip is showing homie...Pull it up... And to all you hardcore Prince heads going crazy over this cat's comments, don't sweat it...You should be able to spot a fraud like this dude a mile away... [Edited 12/24/08 14:33pm] | |

and what should we save prince from huh? should we save him 4 those so stuck in the 80's that they can't let that era go? then yeah let's save him 4 from the likes of YOU 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 | |

He's a leader turned follower. Preoccupation with a narrow religious view has taken its toll. | |

Most of all those hits were from the Warner Bros years. I believe we focus on the music too much and not the monster as it was.
Personally, I don't mind. Prince kept the desire to continue to release hit records for a long time. Now he is a legend, over the top rich and can make more from touring than hits. I believe he will never have the fires burning like he did when he was a young man?? when he was building up his fortune. All things change, that is why I do not care for a lot of the reunions that are only about cashing in. None of these bands have the same desire to kick ass like they did when they came from nothing. It is hard to be motivated when you have it all. I still do believe Prince will release some interesting music in the future. Just turning on the radio and hearing what is hit music right now..I could care less if he has hits again. [Edited 12/24/08 18:22pm] | |

I know the Prince kool-aid drinkers will saY its the greatest thing since creation but come on....he use to do real music that sounded different than everybody else that produced HITS! now he sounds like a Jimy hendrex tribute band! nothin new here..... what can we do to make him do REAL MUSIC hit music? [Edited 12/22/08 16:08pm] And i bet u will b at his next concert,no matter what he plays if u r a fan!  Pray Daily!!!!! RIP AMY WINEHOUSE Keep Calm, Carry on | |

Prince is the only real artist left on the Planet-we are blessed to have him and should appreciate his work in this era of no-talent artist. | |

Sure the midget is past his prime (on the recording tip) as most acts his age tend to become and there are some blind sheep followers on this site who will follow Prince into incoming traffic... But your posts are plastic...transparent homie...What's funny is folks are actually trying to rationally debate with you like you are really tryin to have a real debate... And Prince didn't start with Dirty Mind, Mr. Fan Boy...lol | |

He stands alone in what he has accomplished musically, true. He is a musical genius and (though less so today than once upon a time) innovator, true. However he is SO not the only real artist left on this planet. Far from it. [Edited 12/25/08 19:45pm] [Edited 12/25/08 19:47pm] | |

I ovastand your admiration for Prince...I really do...but this statement is just takin it too far nurse 
nurseV said: Prince is the only real artist left on the Planet...
Do u understand the scope of your statement? He is a groundbreaker when it comes to music - yes...but he's not the only real artist left on the Planet. I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh | |

First of all he just needs to make some good music, period. I could care less if it's a hit or not. It can't be a hit if it's not good.
Two he needs to quit snorted so much damn coke and maybe he'll be back to normal. Three the people he has around these days are great musicians but lack the creativity of Dez, Andre, Dr.Fink, Gayle, Wendy and Lisa, Brown Mark and others. Alot of people around him got zero credit for their work. It wasn't all about Prince even though he has lead fans to believe that. | |

I'm surprised that out of all people, it's Prince fans who think a hit equals "real music" and "good song". I guess the thread author wants Prince to have a hit like Flo Rida's "Low" or Soulja Boy's "Tell 'Em"? | |

He can he does and he will. He know how to make good music, sometime he just forgets who he is. We here to remind a brutha, get him back on track ya heard. The new rock tunes are better than anything we heard since TRC. We aint even heard the whole joint yet. He on the right track at least. I aint worried.  | |

Prince isnt concerned about writing hits anymore. Probably never was.But...just take a listen to all his cds in the past 10 years. No, theyre not great, but they all have at least one song on them that we love. He just writes so much that sometimes the "not so good" songs over shadow the great ones. Little Richard said it best when he said Prince should hold back and give a little at a time.
He just records whats in his mind and heart and puts it out there. If its a hit great, if not...he doesnt care. He knows if he gets short on cash, all he has to do is tour and BAM! Millions in the bank! He has saturated the market with his music...so his cds arent in great demand. | |

i think he is...people just don't listen like they used to... who is to say it is not a hit?
i strongly feel that just because a song is not in the top ten...doesn't mean it is not a hit...not saying u said that[b] if u feel that he doesn't make real music(what is your definition of "real music") and hits...don't listen. listen to Brittany Spears or 36 Mafia...they make "real music" and "real hits"[b]

Fortunately the people who make chart hits, cahrt hits aren't the ones hes aiming for. Prince is more adult in his music and it takes more mature and discerning consumers to dig him now. But I agree with donjuandeblacko(love the name dude) his music is pretty much 95 sound. So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

I think we're on the same page. Having a good song does NOT mean it's going to be a hit song. Why so many Prince fans believe that that is what is ultimately going to get him a hit in today's market is beyond me. It's all about promotion and having the right people market the product, no matter how good or bad the song is. How many of the songs on the Billboard Top 10 for this week are "good" songs or even "timeless" songs? 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 | |

emesem said: He's tragically lost the ability to write a hook or a catchy chorus. The music is still somewhat there but the sound and production are stale and lack any sort of wild creativity that was still there even as late as 1995's TGE and bits of Emancipation.
Lyrically, he has avoided writing about real personal feelings except only to expose his warped view of religion and race and rail against the "man" who stole all his money. Ironically, it is exactly when P was freed of record labels when he began to sound more corporate, more formulaic and more stuck in his ways. They say you become the thing you hate, well there you go. There are still glimmers of real feelings that seep through the music once in a while (Reflection for example) and even though Prince always had a mask, he showed honesty and sensitivity but now it all seems like posturing and route regurgitation of old themes. [Edited 12/22/08 8:11am] I completely agree. This is a guy who lost a son and went through two divorces, and yet he's singing superfluous lyrics that just sound like infatuation and egotism. Prince only seems to say anything substantive now when it involves spreading his religion's dogma. Otherwise it's just the routine bunch of songs about how cool and great he is and how great love can be. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Prince is a very smart individual, and that makes it all the more tough to accept shallow lyrics about being with a girl forever. None of it reflects his intelligence or experience. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
