A missed opportunity to release a one-off release, a new unreleased song by Prince.

I'm sure there still are many useful unheard tracks on the infected shelves, fitting the theme of the film.

It could've/would've been an opportunity/possibility to keep Prince in a positive way more on top in the media.

Oh well... 'The Incapable Ones'...

Being multiEthnic having roots in Ghana[Europe and 'Native'-America, from my study of the concept that they were going for and even the director and co-writer Ryan Coogler said it was not a question of blackness but what did it mean to be African. Not to mention most of the actors are directly African, not black-American.

.

For Ryan Coogler, the essence of "Black Panther" came down to one question: What does it mean to be African?

"This is the most personal film I've ever made, which is the strangest statement to say because I only make films that are personal," Coogler said. "This film for me started with this question of, 'What does it mean to be African?' It's a question that I've always had since I learned I was black, since my parents sat me down and told me what that was. I didn't totally understand what that meant. As kid you're like, well wait, why? Like, so wait we're from Africa? What's that?

"I'm 31-years-old and I realized I never really took time to grapple with what it means to be African. This film gave me the chance to do that," he said.

Well Egypt is AFRICA. The original Egyptians who created Egypt where by all intents and purposes African ethnic stock. The people who buildt Egypt came up from W Central and Eastern Africa. They were not the Arabs that exist there today. The Egyptian artwork tells the truth.

.

I brought it up because you said 'it celebrates blackness and the subject matter is right up Prince's alley' Egypt really is the only area of Africa he has focused on that I've researched so far. Egyptology permeates Prince's style and subject matter from 1993 onward. Mayte being into (Arabic) dance/bellydancing, the ONE video 1998 the Rainbow Children mixed ideology. Arabic society/culture is a big interest of his too.

the funniest thing about your posts, besides that you come off as a know-it-all, is that you don't even realize douchey they are. The bolded part, for instance. It is, in fact, saying exactly what I said. I don't expect you to understand, but you obviously read that statement and took it at face value without considering what that might mean for say, African-Americans. But, you put it up here as if you know what it means to someone who is, well, black. The remainder of your post is simply laughable.

in the tradition of KCOOLMUZIQ #KCOOLMUZIQ

there is a difference between 'black culture' vs 'African culture(s)

I assume you've been reading the arguements about Black Americans appropriating African culture?-Zipporah Gene

What? It is laughable that Egypt(ians) are African?
Or that Prince was heavily involved in Egyptian/Egyptology and Arabic history/culture/religion?

.

Not once did I proceed to attempt to 'read' you as a person. Life wisdom has taught that that is hard, especially when doing it via cyberspace(darned impossible) but from your first interaction with me, it is you trying to judge put down and personally dissect me. I'm too 2gether to be affected. And I never did that to you. :hmm2:strawman arguement

have they even ironed all that stuff with the music out.

They've been missing a lot of opportunities

Both Galaxy movies introduced fans to legacy act music. Cheap Trick couldn't believe the bounce it gave them. Prince would have been perfect for BP. I wish it could have happened.

I won't say that you're dumb, but you are extremely ignorant. Your assertion that blacks are "appropriating" african culture, based on the argument of one person is supremely ignorant. But, it validates your opinion, so no surprise that you would use it. Again, given your propensity to "research" something and cut and paste without trying to understand the context, I don't expect you to understand why I think this is a fantastically obtuse argument to make. As to your "research" around Prince's fascination with Egypt or whatever....again, your assertion is that his interest in Africa was limited to this. This shows that your thinking is limited to what you read, and you are simply unable to think about the context of said research, and stick to what validates your narrow view of things.

yes but some have tried to turn it into what is being Black vs African. My post was quite simple and sincere, but I forgot how petty Prince.org can be due to a few individuals here.

Stop, and your constant emotional attacks... seriously?

.

I did not assert that blacks are appropriating african culture. I assumed wrong, that you have followed the debate. I guess it is you that was ignorant of it. I posted her name(bolded), just copy n past it, her name is Zipporah Gene(African) the debate is out there, she and others(African) believe Black Americans are appropriating African culture.

.

The idea that Black = African has various views. As the co-director(Black American) of the Black Panther movie said, he kinda understood what it meant to be Black, but not African. It is a little bit about the movie, so no one turned the thread into anything. What is Black vs what is African is a part of the discussion. I posted it for you to read. Black Americans don't/won't identify as African-American...come on. Why is this a reason for contentions and personal attacks.

.

Not my assertion. Via interviews and songs, his focus of interest was Egypt. I did not say he was limited to that. You are reading a lot into it. If you can present that he focused on other places, go right ahead.

.
This all above shows that your thinking is limited, and you probably don't know much about Prince.

.

Ah so you need the Black Panther movie to validate your view of things? It is a fictional comic book super hero based on a fictional land based in Africa, just like the island Wonder Woman comes from is based on a fictional island(and Greek culture)

.
It is sad you attacked me personally and don't even see that. I never attacked anyone in this thread. But OnlyNDaUSA and I were attacked. You attacked me because of my thoughts and opinions. Get it?

Go back to being sincere and discussing your hopes.

Prince got a mention in a Guardians Of The Galaxy comic a few months ago. It would be great for his music to make the next soundtrack.

Whether or not it's been ten years or thirty years, he was once asked to submit a song to a film about a comic book character, and he did. As such, it's not a stretch to think that he might have for Black Panther, especially given what he was doing and saying in the final years of his life.

*

Also, I think you are being overly dismissive of somebody else's wishes or desires simply because that person is/was wishing for something that doesn't interest you. For example, I've been a member of this site for years, and, for years, I saw/read thread after thread of folks wishing for a Revolution reunion. That was the last thing that I wanted to see. In fact, I thought that it was idiotic for folks to "wish" such a thing when Prince clearly wasn't interested enough in it to make it happen. Yes, we all read the quote in 1987 or so when Prince stated that the idea was to break up, do some separate things, and then reform stronger than ever, but at what point do fans accept that Prince was never really interested in reforming the Revolution? Based on your number, after ten years of the band not being together, is that when fans should have accepted that the Revolution was never going to reunite? Thus, all those threads "wishing" for a Revolution reunion made no sense to me. But, did I ever once post on those threads what an idiotic idea it was? No. I just read the first few posts, decided the threads were not for me, and moved to something that was. And, even now, most of the things for which folks wish on this site as it relates to music releases and what they want the Estate to do seem, again, idiotic to me or are simply disinteresting to me, but, hey, that's their wish. So, when you ask, "why this project?," my question is have you asked that about other "wish lists"? Clearly, you had and have a wish list as most people do. But, your last statement makes it seem as if your wish list for what you wanted Prince to do is somehow more realistic and honorable than others. I'm not saying that you are doing that purposefully, but to say "rather than Prince doing what you wanted him to do, here is what I wanted him to do" is to minimize somebody else's tastes and likes simply because they aren't your tastes and likes.

If I'm being dismissive, which I'm not, then so is everyone else who doesn't see it.
I'm not being dismissive. I'm really trying to picture it. As I replied to them I don't even play Prince music in conjunction with non-Prince related artist proteges etc. Because for me it is like tell a story. Purple Rain UTCM Graffiti Bridge and Batman. Outside of that it's hard for me to see it.

But it is what it is.
.
I don't want to get further into trying to break down my intents. It really is as simple as I have put it.

*

I am not trying to "break down your intents," I'm just discussing what you said. Thus, it's dismissive when you state "rather than wishing for Prince to do 'x' I think it would be more logical or better idea for Prince to do 'y.'" Now, of course, we can disagree on what defines dismissive comments and behavior and whether or not someone's words or actions can be dismissive even if they don't intend to be. And, yes, not just you, but anyone who stated something to the effect "rather than wishing for Prince to do 'x' I think it would be more logical or better for Prince to do 'y'" is being dismissive, especially if that person has rarely gone onto other threads and questioned someone else's "wish list" or desires to see something from Prince or the Estate. I guess I'm one of the few people on this site who doesn't make it a habit of going onto other people's threads and telling them that their wish lists and hopes are lame, illogical, or less reputable than mine.

*

I also understand what you mean when you state that you "don't even like to play Prince music in conjunction with non-Prince relate artist, proteges, etc," but, if that's the case, what was the point of posting on a thread that seemingly has no interest to you? For instance, I have never played my iTunes, iPod, or iPhone on shuffle or random. That is not the way I like to enjoy music. As such, I also rarely listen to the radio. In fact, other than the Saturday Morning Blues Workshop and the local JSU Jazz Station, I have not listened to the radio since 1988. So, when I listen to music it's often from the standpoint or desire to hear a story or a similar musical or lyrical narrative. Prince's body of work has caused me to listen to music in that way. Each of his albums, for me, is a cohesive and self-contained narrative with a beginning, middle, and an end. Yet, that does not mean that I don't have other playlists of folks--not associated artists or proteges--that I haven't combined because they remind me of Prince's work in some way. And, I fully understand that others might see that list and think, "how the hell does that artist relate to Prince?" Yet, because I understand the subjective nature of art, I'm not as surprised or miffed or put off when someone relates or connects a particular artist to Prince that I see no particular connection. Lord knows there have been countless times on this site when someone has started a thread with the notion of "I wish Prince would work with 'x,'" and I have thought "God, I hope that never happens," but I never was prompted to post on that thread why that person's wish list or hope for something Prince related was lame, illogical, or less honorable than what I wish or hope for Prince.

Technically it is breaking down my intent...I've never felt or said the OPs post was 'lame, illogical or less honorable...' And my intent was not being dismissive. Others have said they don't see it as well. Topics I have no interest in I don't post in. And I've never attacked the OP or anyone in this thread. But the OP is saying some pretty offensive stuff and that is ok?

.

I'm done with it man. There was no point to all that other personal attacking stuff. So many others disagreed, but I got attacked. I don't like when people fixiate on me. So the OP can explore the topic.

.

All I originally asked was why this movie? You replied to my post, and I doubt you took it like I was being dismissive originaly. You actually answered in a way that I was looking for, some kind of connection. Other than just a song.

.

I'm pretty open about what I like with Prince/culture etc so an understanding of what/how/why with Prince and him doing something like a soundtrack/song etc is what interests me. It is culture for me and community.

What you said in the bold is what moves me too. I didn't say it wasn't interesting. I'm a huge fan of the movie/character which is why I posted.

.

And I've never said the OPs thread was lame, illogical or less honorable. I have the soundtrack to Black Panther.

I'm done, let the OP go back to talking to others. He's been gone from this world for 2yrs coming onto the 3rd in about 2 months time. (maybe it is the wishing Prince was alive part/Death) I just had a 2hr back in forth on the phone with a fan/friend who is still believing Prince faked his death, and we started talking back in 2016 with the same thing. And still here.

.

to the OP, I would actually loose my mind (if Prince was still alive) and he took over the score like he did with Batman... now that I would love. And that would be Prince to me.

I don't have an compilation of where he recorded what song or what he was wearing on any specific day, nor do I care to. I have listened to Prince literalluy since his first album. But I don't feel the need to regurgitate my opinions on what he thought based on his fascination with Egypt, or being a JH, whatever. He was more complicated than what you read about or "research". Your posts are simply diatribes of your "research" that you think "proves" this or that. So, I reiterate, you post things as if your "research" trumps everyone elses thoughts and opinions. I have seen it in thread after thread. Which means you're the perfect moderator for such a place.

you can enjoy your topic and talk with others about it.

If you don't have it buy the soundtrack. It's great.

Yes! I said that exact same thing. I love the sound that to the soundtrack. But Prince would had made it majestic.

As such, there is a possibility that I connected or conflated somethings that you wrote with some things that other folks wrote and then perceived your words or tone as dismissive. As you have reiterated, you merely asked, "Why this movie?," which is not dismissive since it is merely asking one to explain why one thinks that Black Panther would be a good fit for a Prince song, even if I can clearly see why the film would have been a perfect fit for a Prince song. However, after I answered your question, I perceived your response of "if I could wish Prince back to life, it wouldn't be to submit a song for a film" as dismissing or making light of the OP's original desire. Yet, since you state that it was not your intent to be dismissive of the OP's original desire, then I can only take you at your word since you don't have a history of trolling or disrespecting others on this site. To be clear, you and I often disagree when it comes to issues of Prince and race, but, again, I can't say that you have a history of demeaning people on this site.

Hey. I'm from the Czech Republic. Anyone wanna hear my story. No? Didn't think so.

Heard it.

Few good trax on the soundtrack.

Has some filer on it too like 'All The Stars' and the Starboy-ish 'Pray For Me'.

Sounds like a regular rap album to me. Film is better though.

Lamar and Staples in 'Opps' is a great track !
