well, if you look where the thread went, it kind of IS about the actual music. let me try to rephrase it: can you imagine is supa started a thread whose premise includes the observation that prince no longer creates classic albums of the same quality that he did in the 1980s? it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die | |

Now i gotta admit that i just LOVE artists who've emulated Prince's MPLS Sound with a contemporary touch (Nam:Live, Chromeo, Dirty Sanchez, Snax...) but most of these artists actually are neither r&b/hip-hop neither mainstream. So that's probably y i'd b really impressed if some rookie had released the 3 new albums. Chromeo is IT!!!!!  Um, what do you think about GaGa? She credits P for influence...
"No matter what I came here to do...no matter what you came here to say...we really aint got no where to goooo. cuz your my TENDERONI!"  Love it!
[Edited 4/16/09 20:57pm] Lady Gaga? Well, she's way too mainstream 4 me, i don't like the way the songs sound, that old "dance music" sound: the songs r not too bad but there's a production problem 4 me. & yeah, Chromeo is the funkiest shit the world ever produced since Prince!!!

tricky99 said: Wow. What a great and thoughtful thread. I think with all the music Prince has created we tend to lose perspective on the process. Prince is on a journey both musical and personal. We as fans have been able to track his growth, ups and downs, and thoughts thru the music he has produced.
Unlike most musical artists Prince has constantly given us a soundtrack to his life, our lives, and the very times we live in. That the constant output is for the most part very good is a plus. For almost every year of my life for the last 30 years I have had a sort of musical companion. I know this companion has flaws just as any man. Just as I do. But with all the pleasure he has given me (and continues too) I have no reason to be mad. Its all the anger and disrespect aimed at Prince that boggles my mind. If I felt the way some seem to about Prince I would simply disengage from him. Surely that would be the adult mature response. Some people seem to be in a dysfunctional relationship with Prince that they refuse to abandon. They rather defame him. Even brilliance gets old. A lot of fans and critics are so used to Prince’s gifts that they take them for granted, but there will be a time when all that will be left will be the music and the images. At that point people will have a better understanding on who and what Prince was. There is simply not another human being making music today who could do what Prince has done. I can’t even think of anyone who could do this latest 3 cd project. Like I always say Prince’s talent will always rub up against the musical limitations of his audience. Yeah that's really weird the way people talk about Prince as if the guy had done something 2 them or i don't know. | |
