Time and again, I've heard him sing songs and tell tales of other folk doing him wrong. But considering the foul shit he's put people thru (fans included), has he ever copped to doing wrong?

I know he's a hypocritical lil' dude, but gimme a fucking break!

It's rare but at least three times he has put himself in the role as perpetrator, namely "In This Bed I Scream", "Witness for the Prosecution" and
Strange Relationship."

He's human. Nobody's perfect. So what if he doesn't apologize for everything he's ever done wrong???

Maybe he's apolgized to those people personally and doesn't feel the need to constantly make songs saying "I'm Sorry".

Thank U...GOODBYE!!

yessir!

Paris9748430 said:

Exactly. Not every part of his life needs to be addressed in a song.

I've been a fan for almost 30 years, exactly what 'foul shit' has he put his fans thru?

I agree with "In this Bed" and "Strange Relationship," but on "Witness 4 the Prosecution," he actually claims innocence: "I am guilty of nothing...Whatever it is u think I did you're wrong."

But the last line the judge says: "Guilty! 7 years hard labor!"...so that negates his whole innocent plea, maybe. Maybe he was lying the whole time?

WEll In Witness the 1987 version he is actually the one on the stand ...

I whom guilty
Of nothing but always wanting you 2 be there
Mama I swear I love u
I always have
In school I once traded chairs
If I couldnt feel u
If I couldnt be near u
i wanted what was yours
Now I just want u 2 care



I think people lookin in 2 hard.

I'd say Prince is the victim of ridicule from the very ppl that claim to care for him

paisleypark4 said:

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. He's guilty of "nothing but always wanting u 2 b there," but he clears himself of any real wrongdoing.

The other two songs, yeah, he cops to being the bad guy. Not on "Witness."

Dayclear said:

my thoughts exactly

they always give him such a hard time here for what is done/not done, said/not said...
I've only got 2 years of experience, so I can't necessarily back up my claim

when I reach 10 years, I still won't feel the sense of abuse people deal with here
that's just how Dreamy rolls with Prince, not against him

two kinds of themes people can easily relate to, falling in love and getting your heart broken. he just giving folk what they want to hear. feel good feel betta blah blah blah

u're gonna c me.

Perpetrator would be a cool future Prince track

Only people who are most beloved is the most hated No dawn ...if no dark

I stand corrected with "Strange Relationship" and MAYBE "In This Bed I Scream".


And once I think about it, "Purple Rain" might fall in line.

Paris9748430 said:

Point taken. But I also mentioned "tales told".

The latest being his "interview" with Tavis Shyly. The Girl Bros. were just having a good poke of fun at their old friend, and then dude got all thin-skinned with it.

Of course he's only human. But he's a human who had to "create his own universe".

Dayclear said:

So sexy.

padawan said:

Agreed on the first two. And on the other ish? Well let's just say the whole time he wasn't lying.

paisleypark4 said:

Sooooo... because he wanted to trade chairs (doesn't that shit end in grade school?) to be close to homegirl, she should care?

Got it. So sad. Poor Prince.

What does that even mean?

I can dig it. But he also feigns victimization he speaks sometimes.

Dayclear said:

I would like to know too

I could start with the fiascos that were/are Crystal Ball and lotusflow3r.com, but you know, that would just be a start.

Maybe. Maybe not. Ask me right.

I think sincerely that he is usually the heart breaker... but if he sangs songs about that .... no one will feel sorry for him. So he sings like he is the victim so he relishes in people's sympathy for him, especially from the ladies.
