He's not into white male singers capable of getting more pussy than he can.

before "extraloveable" at a recent chicago show, prince presented band members..

"this guy played for cameo.. this member played for pati labelle"..

when its mike scotts turn.. Prince says with disapointment.. "This pimp played for TIMBERLAKE,". then forgives scott by saying. " That's alright.." as if he did something wrong

maybe he was sarcastic and said it because he wants scott to stay with his band but i always got the impression that Prince was never too fond of timberlake's music. But I wonder why that is..

Timberlake has made greats songs in the past and learned from prince by choosing great musicians to play live with him.. not to mention a lot of his music was very prince influenced. Timberlake has been giving him a lot of props too..

Also This ain't the first time prince took a jab at him.. Y'all probably remember when prince said sexy never left at an after party with jt watching..

maybe i'm looking looking too deep into this

but there's seems to be tention between those too

Yes, I agree. I've figured he resents the way Timberlake has mimicked his sound on record and in concert, you know, the same way Prince has always tried to be a facsimile of James Brown. I'm sure he disdains The-Dream, Kevin Michael, and Frank Ocean too. That same old contradictory mentality.

I don't blame anyone for not liking justin timberlake's music. He rubs me the wrong way, being so self satisfied, while anything he can do someone else can do better.

Or maybe it's that he gets more pussy.

Or maybe it's his lyrics in 'give it to me':

"Could you speak up and stop mumbling, I don't think you came in clear
When you're sittin' on the top, it's hard to hear you from way up here
I saw you tryin' to act cute on TV, "Just let me clear the air..."
We missed you on the charts last week, damn, that's right you wasn't there
If sexy never left, then why's everybody on my shit
Don't hate on me just because you didn't come up with it
So if you see us in the club, go on and walk the other way
Cause our run will never be over, not at least until we say"

Or maybe it was trash talk between guys. Or just a joke.

Just another thing that I like about Prince.

Oh well, I don't like Justin "Mickey Mouse Club" Timberlake either.

Must be the fame and $$$, he's not cute at all.

This might have been a diss towards prince but nothing was really confirmed .. (seemed like it though)

also check out a quote from jt about prince years later..

“I look at people like Prince, who, to me, is the greatest musician who has ever lived. He keeps producing, keeps writing, keeps making unbelievable music – all because he’s true to his passion…Everything he says, every note he sings, it’s just like, man, that guy is so far ahead of the rest of us. One of my best experiences onstage was at his house during a party.”

that shows how much of a fan he is..

It's a joke, Mike Scott played in JT's band. That's all the reference was about, nothing else, no hate. You can play in his band, "that's alright".

Get it?

I like a lot of timberlake's music although it's because I'm into Timbaland and care about him more, I can understand why Prince feels this way because timberlake has a lot of influences and never properly acknolwedges them, which is a slap in the face to those before him who worked their asses off.

Although this was the shit

I don't know, since he went solo, I think Timberlake always made it very apparent that he studies and attempts to emulate Prince's music. He's never really played that down like his rips of other artists he's blatantly copied.

Did Bootsy Collins leave James Brown's group to play with Donnie Osmond? I don't think so.

Ultimately, Justin Timberlake is a pretender. He is celebrity/pop star that works with the right people. That's it. But , that's all is needed for some.

After Mickey Mouse Club, he semi fronted a completely manufactured boy band that had about as much talent as New Kids on the Block. Then, he Madonna'd his way through his solo years by crafting an image based on basic talent. Mostly, he mimicked Michael Jackson worse than Usher (and somewhat Prince sonically).

It is very telling that JT wants be an actor more than a "musician". It's because he's a popstar that's more interested in being a celebrity...Prince smells a phony and gives his guitar player shit for it.

This is still funny

Basically, THIS^^^^^^

Lol even Justin would disagree with this!

It's funny that you brought this up purpleshadow. I thought that it was connected to JT's type of music, but then the next morning I saw that JT had opened the Ryder Cup (also in Chicago) on the 27th, which was the day after Prince said that. Could JT have been at the concert that night and Prince was just making a joke? He could have been hanging back stage and no one would have known.

'Why does Prince dislike Justin Timberlake's music??"

Because it's shit?

This shit is funny....and perhaps quite true.

He's also had a chockful of hits and took some of his band members away from him.

I guess you all have seen this:

..... Unless they're "signed" to NPG "Records"

Look out for Prince's Bieber clone in 2013

This crap rehashed yet again....

Naaah, I think Prince is just joking around. I think Prince doesn't like his music but I'm sure he respect him.

I love JT! but you can hear a lot of Prince influences in his FutureSex/LoveSounds album.

J.O.K.E

Why not? His "music" sucks. It is a product primaily produced by other people. He is just the image that is frontin' it.
