What other artists have said about Prince.

Does anyone know of anywhere i could go to get a list of comments other artists (be it comedians, musicians etc) have made on Prince. Be it positive or negative.

Or could anyone list some?

Your help would not only be appreciated by me, but i'm sure would be of interest to many other orgers.

Thanks.

Im not sure where U could get a list but I'll contribute by saying that the Wu Tang Clan's RZA said he liked listening 2 Prince Be4 going out/shaggin', not sure which. He also thought Prince was on 'some gay shit' his words not mine, due 2 the fact he wore his arse outta his pants. Im sure that was in referrence 2 the outfit he wore performing Gett Off at the MTV Awards.

South Park co-creator Trey Parker said that Prince was God, but also that he was a little bitch and Parker could kick his ass.

Brilliant, keep them coming!

Didn't Miles say something to the effect that "he's the Duke Ellington of our time"?

Perhaps i'm confused.

Was that the one about Prince looking like a dwarf that just fell into a tup of pubic hair? Or was that Elton John that said that?

I know it was one of those two queens...

That Boy George comment pissed me off, I didn't like it one bit. Boy George was obviously jealous of Prince because Prince's records were selling a hell of a lot better than his.

uzi Boy George Take that, ya nancyboy! evillol

Sure - George can be snide, but what self-respecting gender-bending 80's pop-icon/queen wouldnt be? lol
I could watch the guy be interviewed 4 hours, he's the master of the quick quip. I'd recommend anyone 2 read 'Take It Like A Man' - it's a riot. (There's a great story in there about seeing Prince on a studio backlot in 86 whilst he was filming the promo 4 'Kiss' - George wolf-whistled at him, and Prince just turned his nose up in the air and flounced off (I THINK George says: 'Minced' lol ) I thought THAT was hilarious 2... tease
He's always held Prince in high-esteem, I know that much -He cites 'The Beautiful Ones' as one of his fave records EVER. So dont take what he said TOO seriously, I dont think that was how it was intended - He's always had his tongue VERY firmly planted in his cheek...

David Bowie said "Purple Rain was Great but he is still waiting for him to do something spectacular~

Boy George said "Prince is good and always capable of Genious at any moment"

Madonna said "Prince is too good to be putting out such cheap videos"

Patti Labelle said "Prince is Fierce" when he is working in the studio with her, she sings and he gets all excited"
*Also when spending time with Prince back in 89 recording Yo Mister and Love89 she had to wait on him to fresh'in up, well he took forever to come back down from changing but when he did she said "He was cleaner than the last outfit, and had Pumps 2 match! She said "I AM SCARED OF YOU!

er...I've heard two different quotes from two different Backstreet Boys, in case anyone wanted to hear from a boyband.

Kevin: "Prince is a musical genius."

AJ: "Prince is a tiny fucking purple god."
"A Watcher scoffs at gravity!"

Miles Davis speaks of Prince at length in his autobiography. It is a great read by the way, you should pick it up. Anyway, among other things, he states that Prince is a "little genious"...He also made an interesting observation stating that Prince had a lot of "Charlie Chaplin in him".

That was Keith Richards. It seems he can't stand Prince. Then again he's been in a drug induced coma most of his life biggrin.

From what I can tell Prince and Jagger have a mutual respect.
