This is a hateful fan site

I don't even think its a Prince fan site. I don't see many Prince fans on this site, which is strange.

There isn't a good reason for him to be a fan of this site.

Why do you think there is little to no involvement from Prince or the many associates of his on this site? There is a reason for it and I don't blame them one bit.

There's plenty of considered criticism amongst the blind famz posting about how prince invented all music and those starting "he hasn't done anything good since 19-whenever" threads.

I have been looking for that thread that Prince invented music, must of been deleted by the mods.

Prince isn't one for making those sorts of public statements, it's not his style. He never said anything like that when we lost James Brown...

[Edited 1/13/16 12:26pm]

I don't care either way, but Prince did do something when James Brown died. He had something on the home page of his website that said something like, "Peacfully Rest" or something similar. Not that it's important.

Despite the fact that James Brown wasn't really that fond of him. That says a lot....

Exactly, but it takes only seconds out of your day to say a few kind words about some one who inspired you. He did this with Michael Jackson (Only after at an interview, he was asked he said one line "It's hard to lose someone you loved" or something like that, either way don't correct me guys If I am wrong, it was pretty half assed).

.

I stand by what I said, Prince needs to stop being so proud and drowning in his own ego, get off his damn pedestal and stop acting like Lady Muck and say a few words about the guy. Prince has acknowledged and he was more than aware of the presence and influence of David Bowie in his career. I don't think he would be bitchy, as Bowie as far as I know has never said or done anything nasty towards Prince.

They both had a lot of respect for each other and possibly even recorded together if you bothered to read the thread. And, in my view, YOU are the one who needs to DELETED langebleu - moderator get down off a pedastal. Everything you are spewing here is pure projection - an absolute reflection of yourself. Honestly, this place gets worse by the day. Won't be long before I check out of this place for good at this rate

This place IS getting worst by the day. Am sure Prince ain't killed or murdered anybody but i have to read comments two or three times to make sure. I would love to hear from the founder of Prince.org how he feels about the org nowadays.

Prince doesn't often acknowledge the corporatist drivel the main scream media rolls out to keep the masses manipulated, living in fear and divided from one another. Most of his music is a refreshing counter to corporatist culture.

He never touched the Trayvon Martin scandal and only seemed to mention recent tragedies (M. Brown, F. Gray) to add color to a song that also grappled with larger issues (war/peace/inner city black-on-black gun violence). Unlike Leonard Nimoy, Bowie never spoke out about how drugs destroyed his life, despite the positive influence that could have had on many young people and other addicts.

I haven't laughed this much since..well..so prince won't touch bowie because bowie took heroin back in the 70s? You are so naive. Every artist prince loves took drugs at some point. You're insulting his intelligence and that of not only his fans but bowie fans.

What bullshit. David Bowie represents the worst aspects of the music industry? What? Good fucking music?


Forgot Prince hated Sly Stone, George Clinton, James Brown, Joni Mitchell, Santana...

I think you're confused. I said, prince doesn't forge his musical tastes on whether or not an artist took drugs or not.He bases it on talent, ability, originality etc. Prince doesn't care who took drugs and who didn't. Of course drug taking is bad, nothing to be proud of.

Yeah... was agreeing with you/disagreeing with appleseed. Couldn't find the original post

I used to feel like that. Prince may not send out a tweet , BUT this event may have inspired him to write something else, like poetry or a groove, which we will hear later. I realized this when he came out with "Baltimore".

Bitchy answer:
To be honest, with the way he has been rambling lately (EBONY Q&A), you might want to count your blessings he didn't say anything.

I was offering two replies, and one of my answers was the bitchy one, lol not Prince.

Bowie always reminded me of Prince. Weird, funky music. Different looks. Bands that dress funny. lol

Madonna has no qualms about paying a tribute..like she did. But Madonna has some semblance of normality about her and prince doesn't. The world prince has created for himself isn't a world he wants people to view as normal..he will remain a mystery for as long as he can keep it up. He will never come out of his comfort zone. ..not for anyone..ever.

Good for Madonna and good for Prince , so long as both are happy.

This is true.Unlike many other famous people,Prince lives in his own secluded world that he created for himself.He makes his own rules.For better or worse,it has always been this way

One of the more disturbing developments in western societies is 'grief policing' - that everyone is expected to somehow put their mourning on display when a public figure passes. Here in the UK, it really started with the death of Princess Diana, and the media led hounding of the royals - especially her two poor sons - to wear their sadness on their sleeves. I say let everyone - including Prince - deal with the news about Bowie in their own way.

This is so obvious and seemingly easily missed by some.

I agree.

I find it strange and it makes ZERO sense to me.

I have to say, I don't care if it is his bullshit cult he belongs to, Prince is being an arrogant prick by not making a statement about David Bowie. A few words can mean so much.

.

He is being a rockstar and acting too proud to acknowledge a man who inspired his career. Prince's run of seamless 80s albums with a new sound and new look for each is taken directly from Bowie's 1970s run of classics. Plus Bowie was never anything but nice to him.

.

These are times my respect for Prince cools severely, Bowie was a bigger star, and never kicked upa stink about his music on Youtube, he never gagged the press and never joined any wacko Christian hate cults. If anything wqatching Blackstar and some other videos, I get the feeling Bowie never prayed to the God above. Seriously the Blackstar is a Black pentagram, and the video shows him as a rasta covered Baphomet and girls expiating a skull in darkness. Not that I give a shit, I find that religion much better than the Jegiveusallur money and hate fags witness cult.

.

Prince needs to get off his cloud and revisit the world of ordinary people, he is no one special and I am sure his shit smells the same as everyone elses. I love Prince's music but can't stand him as a deranged ego maniac.

unfortunately leaning towards the bitchy answer - lol - i agree with your comment, you might want to count your blessings he didn't say anything. - he seems to consistently have something brown around his mouth these days

Here's Madonna making it (about) HER tribute.

really - i think MAdge paid a great tribute to the man - and that raw unpolished unchoreographed version of Rebel Rebel was fantastic, rare to see her just cut loose like that on stage!!!
