Mere months ago the 3EG girls were promoting their failed albums and somehow each interview contained a bunch of slutshaming WRT "female artists who don't cover up enough".

.

Funny how that principled attitude disappeared when there was money to be made by getting a song on an album that will almost certainly sell a significant amount of copies.

.

Also, weren't the famz claiming that Prince doesn't care about the charts?

I'm sorry, but more and more i find myself agreeing with Bart. This is the worst Prince era ever. He's embarrassing himself whilst, for example, his "once" new rival, D'angelo is out there fuckin' killing it! Such a shame.

The guy is consistent.
I don't get why people are so offended by what he says. I've not seen him attack anyone, but just their stupid ideas. I think stupid ideas should be called out, honestly.

But yeah--Prince has been slut shaming since at least Emancipation.

you dont think he does.. any idea how many people probably request that he collaborate and write for him yearly?

WetDream said:

Ah, wow....Prince is soooo real music by real musicians right now!

Like OMG! How effing DARE Prince work with someone like Rihanna!!! I should just burn all of his music now, what a fall from grace!.. The nerve of writing music for someone with so little talent as Vanity.. I mean.. Apples... ummm I mean.. Carmen.. oops.. umm I mean Mayte.. or ummm Bria.. uhhh who was I talking about again?

Boy howdy, he keeps selling out more and more these days.

Was he by your criteria also a sell out when he worked with Madonna in 88 or Paula Abdul in 91?

Were they shit hoppers?

i'm going to just post what i put on my tumblr yesterday:

"and on the radio today, i was enlightened on the fact that rihannah will be placing a prince penned song on her upcoming album which i feel so shady about because i really dislike rihannah and she may do an absolutely s*it job on the song, and if she does, i hope prince releases his own version of it (much like ‘The Unexpected’ and the famous ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’). until i actually hear the song, im sitting on the fence. BUT the brit awards are coming in 2 days and rihanna only wants to perform the song on the brits! and even if she does, we all knowe my main focus will be taylor bae swift UNLESS prince pops up with the npg or 3EG."

you cant moan at me for hating on the song before i hear it, because im already on the fence!

For all the people who bitch and moan about Prince not getting attention, airplay blah blah blah, his strategy of writing more for younger artists makes complete and perfect sense. He should do it more. I look forward to hearing it.

"Artists".

True artists write their own material.

And Bart is right, he doesn't chose his collaborators carefully. He spent much time to produce no-talents like Carmen Electra, Mayte and other love interests.

It is his career and choices 2 make.

Rihanna can't sing a lick without the aid of AUTO-tunes. Why Prince would choose to give her a song is beyond comprehension.

You should listen to the original Manic Monday duet with Appolonia, or the whole Carmen Electra album.

--------- Yes, Bart is consistent with his foolishness. He does not remember all the other bubble headed singers Prince wrote stuff for in the 80s and 90s. Prince has always written songs for bubble headed ladies. The problem here is that the music industry is filled with them and as a songwritter/producer your job is to provide the music for said bubble head singer. You want people to hear your music you sell it to people who are going to get on the radio. I love the stuff he has done with woman who can really sing but I do not see the public running out to buy that material. D'Angelo will be Prince's rival when he can get to 38 Albums

That's completely different, back then everything Prince did was awesome, whereas now everything he does is rubbish... This is such a frustrating place...

as rubbish and shitty as your comments..you suck your music sucks, your comments suck...lolo

so, he chooses whom he fucks carefully andthen gives them songs

Look at that Vogue picture. Is she hiding the fact that she's black with that makeup. Fucking disgrace.

you may be right,but since when has Prince ever cared about a female artist's vocal abilities?

exactly...he knows he'll get some attention at least

Yo Vain...u my man and all. But u gotta retire that "shit hopper" barb...lol....Rihanna has been known to dabble in hip-hop from time to time. But 'ol girl is as pop as Madonna and edgier than Paula. Prince hooking up with Rihanna makes perfect sense given his history of working with pop starlets....

"Turn your face/ Towards the sun/ let the shadows/ fall behind you."

I kinda like that chorus.

Wikipedia says this is the lead single from the soundtrack of the animated movie "Home". Written by by Rihanna, Tiago Carvalho and Gary Baker. The movie looks like it's about a little purple alien.

It'd be pretty odd to release fourfiveseconds and this song. Then perform a Prince song for no reason at the Brits... Unless it was a duet perhaps?

How come Prince never gives songs to male artists? I bet Bruno Msrs would be ecstatic if Prince sent him several songs.

The Time, Mazarati..there are are whole bunch more

"I'm not a big fan of male vocalists"-Prince in 2009. To me that's code, for male artists he might deem as male musical groupies.
