Whatever - I just love looking at all those little Prince snippets throughout this thread. The first one is him saying Come Hither with those sexy eyes and waving his finger ooooh it's like he's calling me into his bedroom.

In other words, you never seen the Sign O' The Times movie because this gif is from his performance of Hot Thang in it.

NOW DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT PRINCE???? I REST MY CASE!!!!

Ain't That The Truth! He also played a mean organ vibe while he had that outfit on!

Yes, he did!

It's just a damn shame that so, so, so very many people will never ever know that.

haha no, this is the only movie of his that I haven't seen. I'm sure I'll get around to watching it one day.

btw: what's with his hair in the movie?!?

His hair was freaking gorgeous in this movie. For the Hot Thang segment, that pinkish looking thing was some sort of fashion barrette. If I'm remembering correctly, (I haven't seen SOTT in years) he wore a few different ones throughout the movie.

Right here is where I would look up a few video clips to show this obviously interested person, who admittingly has never seen the brilliance that is SOTT, what I'm talking about but alas, I can't.

That's funnier than the "Santana Shreds" video, but at least the Santana one was dubbed to be funny. That shit was actually Lil Wayne playin'

and again

Almost even more awesome that Little Wayne's shredding ability are the comments from the audience.

"Turn the F***ing guitar on!" "Ooooweeee, my boy's got TALENT!"

I laughed but it's so sad that they REALLY think that's talent...I could weep.

I shit you not, in the past 6 months, I have been running a pub quiz, and the clients are all American, British or Australian, ages 20 to 60--Anyways, we do this music part in the quiz

where I play a song and they have the guess the musician.

I've play 6 Prince songs so far (1 a month), and NOBODY realizes it's him.

One of the tracks was Raspberry Fucking Berrett, and they had no clue who was singing it.

And that is sad. My office mate is nearly 40 and she thought the last thing Prince did was.... guess....

right.

Purple rain.

I played some GE, and NPS ( latest cd conquest at the time) and she was seemed to like Shh.

I think Prince prefers it this way. I honestly do. Why else would he make it so hard to get the music??

Agreed!

Btw, I couldn't even sit through that whole video with Lil Wanksta....lol This guy, what does he think he's doing up there with the guitar? I guess some folks will never have brains and think on their own. His target audience is mainly folks who I think wouldn't be inclined to be attracted to "real music" in the first place.

That Lil Wayne video scared the stuffing out of me!!!! Yikes! It's funny/tragic because I was just saying to a friend that not only are voices auto-tuned to death in songs nowadays, but also you rarely hear actual instruments being played. It's like we're feeding the musical equivalent of junk food to a new generation of listeners who then may no longer be able to identify what different instruments look or sound like. I feel your pain, HatrinaHaterwitz!! But at least we can post gifs and pics. Plus, I have faith that curious kids or kids dissatisfied with the garbage popular today can AND will eventually find a way down the rabbit hole. Enough of his catalogue is available for people to buy the old fashion way, and thankfully, this website is around! Because once you're in the know, you can find all sorts of things...

I wish Prince would embrace the internet and have an official website, a good one, but thats not gonna happen, and at this point in time, if he doesnt care when why should I care? He's only hurting himself, not me, and if I want to hear something I know where to find it. Also, despite not having a website, he still gains a lot of young fans who are very computer savvy and they know where to get his stuff beyond youtube.

on a side note, at least he jumped on Twitter! which was surprising.

I've said all of that before and I do agree with it, for the most part. However, it is the middle of 2012.

I can go on any website and post a link and/or video to any damn song, by any damn artist that I want to with the exception of one...and it just so happens to be the one that I want to...the most...PRINCE! So now his special brand of bs, is handicapping my fun and I don't appreciate it.

If he doesn't want to benefit from what's going on with the internet, that's fine by me but somebody needs to tell him to stop cockblocking my damn fun. Since I seem to be the only one bold enough to say it publicly. Yes, this is all about me and what I want, damn skippy!

Will it change anything? Probably not but I do feel better having made my feelings on the subject known! [img:$uid]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/SexyBeautifulOne/e5019160.gif[/img:$uid]

You go girl!
