Prince's Over the Top Promotion of Josh If the dude has talent, it will speak for itself. I understand some promotion but him going out of his way to put Josh in the spotlight is actually a red flag for most of us. Prince didn't have to say much about John Blackwell or Llianne Le Havas or other talented artists that he has collaborated with. But he was over the top with Bria and others. Prince, do Josh a favor and don't be so heavy handed with the promotion. | |

I agree,he wants to make it like Josh is some extra cool talent and that photo of him in black is so funny | |

Prince is strange lately I love his music but the other he gets he promotes talentless people and seems to shy away from his peers of talents like Wendy Lisa , the time, npg he only wanna promote young average artist | |

I have an open mind about the guy. Prince is starting to close my mind. Chill bro. This is not some charity or way to make yourself feel good. We will find out how good he is on Tuesday. | |

Might as well just bring back KirkyJ The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

There are so many musicians Prince has worked with who got little to no recognition - maybe this a more mature, respectful Prince. I just wish he was giving credit to someone who added something to his music aside from a sound effects library including countless whooshes and bland beats. "This is th-th-th-the man who d-d-d-d-does this to my m-m-m-m-music." Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife.

Prince, do Josh a favor and don't be so heavy handed with the promotion. You also have to wonder where the over the top shilling was for folks like Sheila E., Wendy and Lisa, or the other talented people he's worked with. Oh wait, they didn't need that. Their talent spoke for themselves. If trash like that TCBU remix and Art Official Cage is indicative of Josh's "talent", one could see why he's only working with Prince (who's known to constantly peddle talentless hacks onto his fans) and other artists aren't lining up to use him on their projects... |

Not trashing him. I actually feel bad for him because there is no way he can live up to the hype. Prince is not doing him any favors right now. | |

I feel bad for him because he hasn't done his homework when it comes to Prince and his "protege" relationships. minor keys and drugs don't make a rollerskate jam | |

I'm going to start a scrapbook for all of these Josh threads of recent. Someone should just make a master thread where all discussion of him can be held.
In regards to the thread I think he's just trying to promote him as a producer so he can also find others to work with, not just Prince, maybe? P seems really fond of the guy so if he wants to help kickstart his career that can't be a bad thing of him to do. | |

I don't understand the animosity towards Josh. The sound he brought to Prince's music made Prince sound fresh again. | |

LMFAO @ those pictures. Does he think he's Timbaland with those generic-ass beats and that pose? |

I don't get it either. AOA seemed like it was one of his all round best received albums on here for a good while. There were two or three tracks on there on which Prince didn't even play a single note and I'm sure Josh had a hand in most of them. RIP | |

please chill ...
secretly, more than half of you wish you were in Josh's shoes...
its ok.... normal human emotions, i guess..
i kinda felt that way at first too... but let the kid breathe for a minute...

I agree on Hardrocklover and if Josh is responsible for Way Back Home that's 2 of Prince's best songs in recent years he's had a hand in to be fair to him. . Don't see how Prince is promoting him though. He's been given an opportunity so can't blame him for taking it. Suppose Prince has always delegated to people in his crew and push them into bigger roles like Sheila E, Kirky J, Tony M, Steve Parke etc. | |
