maybe he meant people weren't ready for such shitty prince songs

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

BINGO. Ali talked a big game, but he'd actually go in the ring and knock someone the phuck out. Prince has yet to even get his hands taped.

Just because Prince used the magic phrase "constructive criticism" and tried to imply that straight negativity is not constructive doesn't make it a universal rule. Trent may not even be aware of this latest proclamation from on high.

And that is Trent's unspoken point!

How embarrassing

Why the heck Tavis didn't followup with questions is beyond me.
I wonder if Prince every looks back on his interviews and say to himself, "Damn.. I fucked that shit up. "

Trent dissing Prince is a big joke. Trent can never touch Prince, music wise.
The org never fails.
If Prince was to diss another artist like Trent did, some people here would be ready to boil him up like the rabbit in fatal attraction.
But Trent is doing the dissing, so it's ok. Why? oh, oh, he can diss people because he is so"undergound".

Prince doesn't even question Prince so you know the answer to that question

You're completely sidestepping the point, though.

stanleylieber said:

I don't care that Prince said that, except I happen to agree with him.

It's fine to say it sucks (there are no rules to this stuff), there's just not much a musician can do with that except say "sorry you feel that way." It's unlikely to change Prince's next album

I think Tavis was confused (as was I) but didn't want to just come out & say "what the hell are you referring to?"

Let's compare, shall we?

WisdomNLove said:

Didn't Prince give away Planet Earth last year, and Musicology a few years ago?



Dr. Funkenberry anyone? (Yes, I know D.F. is NOT Prince, but he posts every move Prince makes that he knows about. Similar.)



No, just a "Where's Fluffy?" game to figure out a concert venue, and a "riddle" to be able to join lotusflow3r.

Purplestar88 said:

Oh please! Prince released a song dissing US and we thought it was the funkiest thing he'd done in years and said as much, so why would we be ready to boil him for dissing somebody else?

Accujack said:

Does Prince saying "sexy never left" in response to Justin Timberlake's Sexyback count?

You're completely sidestepping the point, though.[/qu What point? Trent is not a bad artist but he is not all that to be dissing people or telling them what to put on a record. Prince is not
obligated to release any thing from his vault and I don't believe Prince has ever braged about the vault. The vault belongs to Prince not to Trent or the fans. Whatever Prince does with the vault is his decision, not Trent or the fans.
People want the vault songs but what happens if these songs don't meet some of the expections that people want to place on it. What happens then? I would to hear the some of the vault songs but I will demand Prince to do so. That is not right.

Believe it or not, there are people who ask, "Prince who?" too.

ItsOnlyMountains said:

Or how about when he was doing his Vegas act and he called Paris Hilton up on stage and handed her a mic and said, "“Let’s see if she can really sing.”" knowing damn well she couldn't. He dissed and humiliated her, so he may as well had told her that her little song that she had out at time...sucked!

Who cares what Trent Reznor thinks?

I mean, that guy has been producing the same old, self-lamenting 'industrial pap'for years and years.

Prince might not be as strong as he used to be, but Trent hasnt released anything that quality-wise and in terms of influence comes even close to the albums 1999 or Sign of the Times.

Purplestar88 said:

There seems to be some expectation that folks will be receiving access to vault material on lotus. Anyone know if Prince or his site or the emails from lotus set that expectation?

Riverpoet31 said:

The answer to your question is that fifteen pages worth of Orgers care.

crushingquiet said:

You know, I don't even know who this Trent Reznor is and frankly, I do not care.

stanleylieber said:

Oh but none of us released 1999 [insert LPAB logic here....]

.
[Edited 5/7/09 13:16pm]

can we get a few more declarations of not caring in this thread please

stanleylieber said:

*LPAB ALERT*

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I vaguely remember reading somewhere around here, right before the official launch, an article that I think was about one of the site designers and there was a "might, maybe, don't quote me on it but do print it" kind of a hint at there "possibly" being 7 cd's of never before released material available through the site. It's never been mentioned again, so yeah...you know.

Actually, since none of us are Grammy winning pop musicians, we're not really qualified to not care.

I am not talking about a song dissing the US. I am talking about if Prince would diss another artist. If Prince was to really let loose and diss the beloved Trent or who ever people in here think is better than Prince, some people in here, would be dissing Prince left to right. Simple as that.
When some people don't like a song in here, they act like they want to put Prince on a skillet.

Purplestar88 said:

But have you played 21 consecutive nights in London?

I didn't think so.
