Being a muscician of James' caliber, he had to recognize what Prince was doing was pretty special. Just check out Miles Davis' autobiography when he talks about Michael Jackson and Prince. Yeah, I agree with that. James probably acknowledged that Prince was composing great original music. But I guess he just didn't like watching Prince emulate him while performing. Well we r talking about the Godfather of Soul. LOL | |

So true.  Now hold up now.  I'm a Prince fan as well as MJ(J5), JB, Sly, Jimi, Miles (who I emulate through my trumpet playing), George Clinton, & early Hip-hop fan. Now every1 is entitled 2 his or her own opinion but we can do without the name calling (leave that 4 2 Sarah Palin's website ) | |

Only stupid Prince fans could diss James Brown. What Prince would have been without James Brown... LOL Just because Prince plays instruments doesn't make him better, Prince ain't funky like JB, Prince ain't original like JB, Prince didn't make as many R&B hits as JB, Prince didn't impact black music like JB, and Prince can't perform like JB. James Brown in his 50's was a much better performer than Prince is nowdays...And I just stop there. JB left behind him a MUCH bigger heritage. And made the biggest impact on black people's mind. JB embodied black music, he wasn't just a black artist HE WAS black music. Something Prince never achieved. And just like most black people, I'll choose James Brown over Prince anytime anyday. No question. There was black music before James Brown, and black music after James brown. How many people can say that of Prince. Prince is just barely comparable to the levels of Sly at best in terms of influence. And even Sly was an originator, not Prince. You're both wrong. Here here! | |

PurpleMakaveli said: zaza said: Oh sorry, I was replying to PurpleMakaveli above you  ZA ZA ZAZA ZA "Playing piano by ear from the age of 4, she went on to write her first piano ballad at 13 and began performing at open mike nights by age 14.[10] At age 17, she gained early admission to the New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. There, she studied music and improved her songwriting skills by composing essays and analytical papers focusing on topics such as art, religion and socio-political order." Taken from her wiki page I would say thats talented..... ----- None of this means her music is any good. It is the Alicia Keys situation all over again. All that talent and education and still she puts out shitty music. | |

I think we all most remember that Prince was HIGH AS HELL during that performance with JB and MJ.I think if Prince was sober that night he would've kick some a@# that night. Keep in mind this was pre Purple Rain, so Prince wasn't a musical God yet. Did anyone notice that when Prince threw his glove to the audience that they threw it right back? This is another subject, but did Prince do some coke that night? I heard over the years that this is what he was high on that evening...it wasn"t weed that's for sure.  | |

Prince wasn't HIGH, he was exhausted due to writing Purple Rain script. | |

James Brown was the inventor and the innovator of FUNK and could say what he wanted to about anyone and I would not say a damn word against it.
However I do believe that James' attitude did change and he accepted Prince as the star that he became. What's so fucked up about this type of article is that James and Micheal are both dead and cannot speak for themselves. God bless Prince, Mike, and James ! Long live the FUNK. |

Prince is/was a threat in any and every trail blazer is music. He took what came before and made it BETTER in everyway. Period. | |

Anyone can look at that video and tell Prince wasn't in his "right" mind that night. I mean, he made a stage prop almost fall in audience...Prince was HIGH on something...I know I am going off subject here, but this was the 80's and Prince was young and I am sure he took a hit of weed, X , and coke during that time period...Morris and Vanity were not the only ones experimenting with "Purple highs"... | |

But you don't know that to be true. Prince could have just been nervous to be placed in a strange awkward situation. Who hasn't been caught off guard in front of a crowd that is not there to see you and place into the spotlight. He was placed in front of one of his childhood heroes and didn't do as well as you thought he should have but shortly after that he was the toast of the whole world. | |

That's exactly the impression I was under when I saw that video. He looked very uncomfortable, and he wasn't really welcomed on stage. [Edited 1/9/10 16:51pm] | |

2elijah said: Not long before JB passed I remember one of his close friends, stating the JB wanted Prince and MJ to carry on the music, so what he said in the 80s about Prince, does not hold any weight compared to something more positive he said about Prince just before he passed. I wish I could find that article.
[Edited 1/7/10 18:43pm] Al Sharpton was the one who said that. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

Color still matters, hum... Dreamer... | |

May be ignorant here, I don't see JB's appeal at all. I respect him as a performer but hey...Prince too me is in a completly different league in a positive sense. I can't blame JB for backing MJ because MJ was a phenominal talent.
Prince to me is defined really by his first album. 17 Instruments, wrote, composed, performed and recorded his own album at the age of 20... Hes a prodigy. Genius. JB was a performer, dare I say he was not an "Artist", especially not in comparison to Prince. www.nextpowergeneration.com PS3's own NPG! | |

The question is not the range of talent but what you create with your talent and the impact/influence you left behind you... There are many black artists who can do many things JB can't do, but how many of them shaped, transformed and redefined Black music the way JB did ??? | |

I don't think JB meant anything malicious by it, he just stated what he felt of Prince at the time.

Prince might have ruled and defined the sound of the 80's. But JB really changed black music for all times! [Edited 1/9/10 21:49pm] "ohYeeeeeah" said: I'm a massive Bowie fan. Even on Scary Monsters, I always skip Fame ... | |

Love James.....but Prince rules them all including James. The reality on Prince s this. They will be studying this man and his true impact on music for the next 40 to 50 years. Most people have a very small view of Prince based a certain times during his career. The general public has no idea of the contributions Prince has made in a material sense. He will get his due, but it will be way after he leaves this Earth. [Edited 1/9/10 21:59pm] | |

The average person may know about Prince through some behind the music special, or even cuz they remember Purple Stain, but when you tell someone he has released an album almost every year of his career... they get kind of boggled.... they don't know what that really means cause no one else... as far as I know, does that.
