No matter how innovative Prince is, I have not met many on the org who like EVERY thing he has done. There are many faces of Prince. He reveals a different face for every album he produces. If you say that you don't like Prince, you have probably never experienced every face of Prince.

If you say that Prince can do no wrong, you have probably never experienced every face of Prince.

So you don't have to be a hater to say Prince = funk, or to say Prince <> funk.

We are all so full of doody here

I'm starting to agree with some orgers that maybe Prince is not that funky or we overrate his funk abilities. Or at worse he isn't as funky as someone like Roger or Parliament. His beats don't slam in the same way. These other chicken grease artists throw more on the grill. Prince is more coldly funky. His songwriting is more of a force than his actual funkyness. This is why It seems crazy to continue to mewl about him staying funky when he is rarely that funky anyhoo. I mean I was at an event and the DJ played Kiss. It sounded good, like it always does, but few people were dancing or shaking their groove thangs. Than he put on Atomic Dog and the house blew up. Kiss is funky but not Atomic Dog funky. My only point. Then they played Cha Cha Slide, a song I can't seem to escape. You had this huge line dance. Everybody was dancing, acting crazy. That song is lame, at least to me, but look at the reaction. Prince is funky but not funky in the way most people like.

Speak for yourself.

i think if p and George got into a funk armwrestling competition, id put my money on George.

Because nobody's that funky.

But if P and joni mitchell got into a folk arm wrestling competition, I'd go w/ Joni. Obvs.

And I'd stay away from Jimi on guitar, Sam on vocals, Michael on dancing, and Ray on keys.

Because there's always a bigger fish, you know?

But the best part is that our guy can at least compete w/ all these others, simultaneously, sometimes blindfolded, in the course of one song. That's why he's my favorite.

Oh I'm not offended, I was just giving back ground to why I feel the way I do about Prince being labeled anything. And you are right, whether or not he is funk, or rock, or blues, we may not be able to peg him, but we can definately label him a legend.
