Who's J anyway and what would he be doing talking to a student/pop star wannabee like you?!

Come on, have a bit more humility, you're no big shot..

[Edited 12/6/11 13:53pm]

I'm assuming "J" is orger J7 or Jseven or whatever his name is. He's "The Doc". He used to post more regularly but nowadays must be busy with the Funkenberry site.

Wasn't "J" also the person who ran the Los Angeles fan group The Bumpsquad for quite awhile, and didn't he also at one point run a Prince themed club called Club Lovesexy?

I certainly don't claim to know the exact details of the current Prince/Funkenberry arrangement, but no doubt he was thrilled to have been offered the opportunity to funnel Prince news straight from the source to the masses via a celebrity blog, and to finally achieve a closer, more direct relationship with his idol.

^ Yep

I do respect Militant for having the courage to participate. I know the first step is admitting there's a problem. I think he's intelligent enough to understand where I'm coming from and why I feel the way I do. If he doesn't, it's fine w/ me.

You see I didn't even ask who J is. I don't give a shit bcuz if J ain't Prince what is his point. People need to stop trying to speak for Prince and let Prince speak for his d@@@ self. Who the fuck is J?

OP are you new to Prince, because until recently Prince has had a string of failed official sites dating back to 1996, IIRC.

I don't think his current MIA from the internet (which isn't really since there's Andy's social media guff and the Dr.Funkenberry bum-licking) - I don't think his current MIA is to cultivate mystery it's more likely that he's burned out on official sites, or out of ideas for rip-off subscription sites since that model doesn't really work any more (or ever really, the way Prince did it).

See, Prince having an official FB page or twitter account doesn't really make him that special does it - everyone and their Grandma has one, and they all look the same - and even having some twonk look after it for him, it still brings him down a peg or two from having his own super-magical members-only club.

SometimesIwonder said:

Umanbing, cud ur question also b, does Prince sometimes take the utter piss out of certain fans 4 his own amusement by pushing their buttons? And does this in turn create crazy loons? I suspect (& really hope) he isn't that sort of person...

Yes, you just presenting another way to ask my question. I actually asked about 5 questions after my original question. Yes, they said on the documentary I watched that Prince is a prankster. He better cut that internet bullshit out. It's fucked up. He don't need to let other people speak for him. He's my favorite artist and all but Prince ain't all that. He better stop playing if he's that "sort" of fucked up person.

J is Funkenberry.

I'm not a student. I don't even have A levels. I signed to Sony BMG when I was 17 years old and I've toured the world every year since and featured on albums that have sold hundreds of thousands of records. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Also, I guest lecture at several universities to music industry students several times a year and get paid nicely for it. That's the closest I've ever been to being a student

No wasn't familiar w/ any of his official sites back then. He's been my favorite artist since I was a child but I wasn't checking for Prince back then. I had no clue.

He needs to realize that he can't be always just be the special one in things. I'm special! We ALL special. He needs to grow the fuck up and know how to balance both worlds. He's too out there for me. Him and super-magical members-only club better wake the hell up.

At first, I thought this was about Diana Ross fans, and a little pun on the song 'Confide In Me', which is one of my fav. Ms. Ross tracks. Then I twigged that it was about Princess Di!

:blush:

This is the funnies thread I saw here for a long time. Thanks everybody for making me laugh!

Don't give me that! If you did get signed I'm sure it was to a small imprint, young stars don't get snapped up like that anymore...but that's still good at that age (assuming you aren't making it up)

Just drop your arrogance, it puts people's backs up. If you really were such a big shot as you make out, you wouldn't be wasting your time in Prince forums but you'd be out there working on your career and cultivating your fans....

What is the PPML? Really? Have you found a lot of his fans center their FB profiles around Prince?

^ The PPML was the Paisley Park Mailing List, it was the precursor to Prince.org, but looked better in terms of design (had black and gold theme). I first found it around 96/97 and I think it ran right up until about 2001/2002 when it got replaced by prince.org.

As the internet was new in those days, it had a sense of intimacy about it which was pretty cool...

Not a small inprint. A major. I had an indie deal a year before that when I was 16 and sold 50,000+ records independently which led to the major deal. Sure, it's harder in 2011. This was in 2003/4. Was with Sony BMG for one album then moved over to Virgin/EMI for two albums a couple of years later. If you're interested you can look me up online. And yes, I doubt I would have got that deal so young as a solo artist. But it's as a member of a band of which my cousin is the producer, and he was already a platinum-selling producer, so I had a leg-up

And I was in the studio ALL day yesterday working on a new single. I come on the forums while the producers are mixing parts in between vocal takes. Make sense now? Not as if it takes a long time to make a handful of posts on a forum....

He may not be wasting his time. Being and "obsessed" fan as his profile states, he could be working for Prince like his friend J. Maybe he's spending time defending Prince, bring breaking news first about Prince and his associates before other people hear about it bcuz he knows how to deal appropriately w/ Prince since he's one of Prince's peers. Militant could be trying to cultivate his own fans through Prince's fans, just like Andy's doing. It does seems like some Prince fans will ass lick anyone working w/ Prince or anyone who has ever worked w/ Prince.

The PPML sounds like it a good thing for the fans. Today a simple website, FB profile, or twitter account would do but I'm sure Prince has a good reason for being absent on the internet.

TheFreakerFantastic said:

I don't think he deliberately cultivates it but his music and image are very personality based and I think this attracts fanatics...

He has in the past likened himself to God and the pharoahs (listen to Undisputed) and this arrogance does not help.

However, he has done much in recent years to dispel that and has appeared in a more humble way on TV...etc... and told people to worship God not him.

I listened to Prince's Undisputed (The Moneyapolis mix). I didn't know Chuck D rapped on a Prince song. Now I get why he was in the BBC docu I watched. It sounds like another one of Prince's braggadocious songs to me. I didn't really care for it. In this song is he telling people that as long as he's getting ahead it's alright to get left on the sideway Jack? What? Did I hear him correctly? I know I don't want to talk to D'angelo about anything but ?uestlove seems cool although I've read he's a Prince fanatic. I guess this is why Prince mentioned his name in the song.

^ I like the song itself but it's lyrics are Prince in arrogance mode, especially 'Once again, I don't just follow trends, they follow me, just like the Israelites through the Red Sea'.

I like to think that was tongue in cheek, but i'm not so sure....!

I'm inclined to agreed. His fawning comments about even his shit stuff seem to back this up...so maybe he wants to be the new fu*kaberry...

Yawn.

You tried to call me out. Claim I don't know what I'm talking about. I've been in the music industry literally my entire life. Which, in case you didn't know, is actually very small. Most people know each other one way or another. You tried to call me a student. I pointed out that I'm actually very far from that. My entire history is easily found online, so I don't need to "fawn" about anything.

But if you talk complete and utter bollocks by claiming I have no insight, I'm going to make it immediately obvious to everyone that you are wrong.

Furthermore - I make contemporary electro-pop/hip-hop, closer to Will.I.Am, Benny Bennassi and LMFAO than anything Prince does these days. Point being, if I was here "to cultivate fans" I'd be barking up the wrong motherfuckin' tree. I'm here because I want to talk about my favorite artist, just like everyone else. I just happen to work in the same field and therefore have more insight than people who do not. It's really not that hard to understand.

Or you know, we can go with the other explanation, I'm a purple minion. Because that makes SO much sense.

Get your hateration in check. If you want to believe in your fantasy land that despite being in the same business, having worked with some of the same A&R people, promoters, mix engineers, label promotion staff, street teams, agents and having met and talked to many artists and musicians who've worked with Prince through being on the same bills as them at festivals all over the world, that I have "less insight" than, oh I don't know, someone here who works at a store or in a bank or is a professional scuba diver.... feel free to believe that.

But you would be living in a delusional world. I'm not here to flaunt it or anything I do. But when somebody is flagrantly wrong about something - like you were in this instance with your bizarre idea that Prince pays a blog to post about him - you will get called out and corrected. And when you get angry and defensive about being wrong, and try and make character assassinations on someone who knows a great deal more than you do, you look incredibly pathetic.

Aside from that, have a great day. And perhaps learn that being wrong about something isn't the end of the fucking world.

I said you were wrong, and no I'm not speculating. I've said that repeatedly. Funkenberry has said the same thing himself. On multiple occasions. So really, what you're saying is that he's a liar now. Fine, if that's what you believe.

I don't think everything Prince does is perfect and neither do I spent "all day" on forums. Don't believe a word of it? That means nothing to me. Like I said, a 2-second google search on my name will pull up my entire professional history, so now you just look even more stupid.

I said what I do musically is closer to what Will.I.Am does than what Prince does. Which it is. I'm not "comparing" myself to him - I was addressing the point that if I was "trying to cultivate fans" this wouldn't be the best place. Besides, I've been active on here since at least a couple of years before I even had a deal.

So enough with the bitterness and hateration, it's laughably transparent. Oh - and as I write this - I'm in the studio once again, with a multi-platinum producer, writing songs for a major label. Want a TwitPic? Quick video clip perhaps?

Get off my nutsack, you complete ignoramus.
