Holy shit.

Dang!! Rick James didn't even have to go that far about Prince. Prince is the man! Prince knew from an early age, what it takes..Now look at where he is right now. There seems to be no end to his creativity. Rick James was the MAN, but this was pretty unnecessary. Cocain is hellu of a drug for sure! We already know that the truth indeed prevails! Haha

When it comes to believing in who's story, I would rather listen to Charlie. They always say cocaine can make you deny everything but the moon. RIP Rick though.

Funny thing is he said at the end he didn't do cocaine anymore but cocaine was found in his system.

You got me curious, so I checked it out.

Through his autopsy, alprazolam, diazepam, bupropion, citalopram, hydrocodone, digoxin,chlorpheniramine, methamphetamine and cocaine were found in his blood.

Holy shit.

so sad

Nah, jackson's posts are personal, not just someone tired of the so called kool aid drinkers. I saw your comments in the concert threads - liking his concerts or not liking his concerts are matter of opinion, and I'm totally fine with that kind of discussion (tho' it would be nice to keep it civil between each other). It's cool if you don't like his concerts, or those albums, songs, interview, GF choices, whatever, we can discuss. But you can tell when someone's not a fan, or even respectful, in the slightest. I don't get why they come on here - I wouldn't go to a fan site of an artist I don't like just to piss on that artist and everyone there how wrong and stupid they are. That's plain rude and a colossal waste of time. BTW, yes sometimes people take P's side just because it's P, but in this case,... I mean, Rick's no Mother Theresa. He's talking absolute shit, rambling on, talking about having his way with women, contradicting himself about the sofa, and calling someone basically a midget faggot. alexnvrmnd777 said:

But did he say he "hates" Prince? No, he didn't. Just because jackson35 calls Prince out on ALL of his shit doesn't mean he hates him. I think he's probably just tired of people blindly and unconditionally sucking Prince's dick on everything and always putting another artist down in favor of him, just because he's Prince.

NONE of his would be here if we truly hated all of his music.

He really did sound silly on that part.

PRINCE HAS A LONG HISTORY O F DISRESPECTING PEOPLE THAT RUNS BACK TO THE THE DAY HE SIGN THAT DAMN WB CONTRACT. BOTTOM LINE HE WAS SUPER RUDE TO MAMA JOHNSON AND RICK SHOUDN'T FORGIVE HIM FOR THAT, IF ANY OF YOUR MAMAS ASK PRINCE FOR AN AUTOGRAPH AND HE TELLS HER TO GET OUT OF HIS FACE AND WALKS AWAY, NONE OF YOU WOULD BE TOO FOND OF HIM ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, GRANTED HE DID APOLOGIZE, BUT WAS AFTER FARGNOLI FORCED HIM TO.

Teena Marie didn't think it went down that way at all. Rick probably over reacted to a misunderstanding.

Teena Marie didn't think it went down that way at all. Rick probably over reacted to a misunderstanding.

[Rick] James’s charisma was matched only by his audacity and Teena [Marie] was able to see these sides of the King of Punk Funk both on-stage and off. In 1980, Prince opened for James on the Fire It Up tour. James complained that Prince stole his stage moves and according to Marie, Rick paid Prince back by stealing his gear. “Back then people weren’t really programming their own synthesizers,” says Teena. “Prince - you know – he’s a genius... he was one of the only one’s who could really do that – probably him and Stevie [Wonder] were the only one’s really doing it…[Prince] was programming all his synthesizers and setting the presets with his own sound and …at the end of the tour [Rick] took [Prince’s] synthesizers.” Teena cannot help but chuckle as she recounts the story. “He took them to Sausalito and he actually used them on the Street Songs album and then he sent them back to [Prince] with a thank you card. He was a piece of work…and a brilliant genius, too!”

Teena later found herself wedged between the two future legends when she went on the road with Prince. “We were on the Dirty Mind tour together… [Prince and I] never had a problem. We would kick it…neither one of us drank so after the concerts we’d go and sit and have our little orange juice or whatever. He had a lot of respect for me. There were some nights that I would come on stage and I would kick his butt, you know, and [afterwards] he’d walk by me and go “Whew! I have to work hard tonight’ and there were some nights that he would come by and say ‘I whooped you! I whooped you tonight!’ so it was really awesome and he’s always been really wonderful to me.”

For James, however, it was a different story. “I don’t think Rick really liked the fact that [Prince and I] were friends but you know….The rivalry to me as I look back on it - it was really Rick. It wasn’t really Prince. It was more Rick than anything. I never really saw Prince feeding into it too much. It really actually saddened me because I think the two of them would have made some amazing music together. It would have been ridiculous…but you know…it was what it was…I’m not really sure why it started. Rick always said it was because Prince snubbed his mother.” Indeed, James claimed that Prince had insulted his mother at the 1982 American Music Awards by refusing to give her an autograph. The mood should have been celebratory - Teena was nominated for Favorite Soul R&B Female Artist and Rick won Best Soul/R&B Album for Street Songs - but Rick was having none of it. Backstage, Prince’s manager at the time (the late Steve Fargnoli) hastily arranged for Prince to apologize but James ignored him. Even today, Teena views the story skeptically. “I really find that hard to believe and if it did happen, I don’t think it was intentional because Prince just isn’t that kind of guy. So it could have just been unintentional where she was around and he didn’t see her, you know what I’m saying? And Rick really knew how to take stuff and run with it…but from everything that I know [Rick] really, really did like [Prince’s] music….” Laughing, Teena adds one more caveat: “Although he would never admit to it. He would never admit to that.”

mama johnson said it went down like that. teena was not present backstage when this incident occured so she is speculating.
