brother, i like to think that when we move on we really don't see this stuff as important anymore. almost like we don't look at what happened in kindergarten as very important but it did seem so at the time.

You really had to sneak that in there?

"Remember to own your masters"

i don't know about the relevancy but MJ's death was mammoth, bizzare and just huge. i saw white people moonwalking for blocks in seattle to commemorate MJ, people all the sudden felt bad about how they treated him and many people started to back track on the molestation allegations. Prince didn't even hit me as hard as MJ for a couple reasons, one, I felt so badly for how MJ was hunted and tormented and two, he was the first of my childhood heroes to go. I was always a bigger Prince fan but I never stopped loving MJ and it killed me what happened to him. Prince by comparison had a wonderful life.

I dont think people have to be harsh and compare him to MJ or so called relevancy. Both men were and still are titans of music. They are immortal, African American perfomers who deserve respect. I'm not a MJ fan but I get offended when ppl disrepect him. He did alot for the black community. More than most people will ever know. MJ donated millions to UNCF (United Negro College Fund) amonst other things. P and MJ did many things anonomyously. Let's do better on this forum and not engage in negativity. So, when you're judging someone make sure you know exactly who you're judging.

True. I believe that once our earthly life is over, it will no longer matter.

the last 15-17 years of MJ's life was horrible, i still feel so damn bad about that. I don't know if he molested anyone but I just don't think he did. and i maintain that if it weren't that, it would have been something else that they would have used to hound him.

Great way to put it! Prince believed in life past this Earth...the Afterworld or the here after, and do I. I believe in Heaven. I believe it's so MAJESTIC there that even the great things he accomplished and the money he made would be considered rubbish. He's not bothered by anything going on over here on Earth.

...yeh .... NOW u buy my friggin albums.....

LOL! Not me-- because for the most part-- I already have them and actually paid cash money directly to Prince numerous times over and over and over and over-- again for them.

I doubt anything on Earth would be a great relevance at that point...but then I didnt say it would be in my question.

No one was harsh on this thread but pontificate on...

"I don't really care what y'all be doin'!"

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I can't speak for MJ, but Prince absolutely hated labels.

He was one of the greatest performers of all-time, period.

Him and MJ are both shaking their heads and laughing at the outpouring of love and the opportunistic vultures who are now supposedly "friends" with him. Prince also has a false look of "dissapproval" on his face upon seeing his music all over the internet again. "All part of the plan". lmao

He would be saddened by how little his fans really knew him.
