nothing? as expected

Quincy: 1 - P-stans: 0

lol.....I'll take Prince and his career over anyone including Jones.

yes? and?

me too.

so your point....?

still you could not give any instrument where P is No.1

so you are confirming what Q said. simple

as a combination of all, the most versatile? instruments, composing, arranging, performing etc. yeah Prince is most likely No 1 (besides Stevie probably)

but versatlilty was not what Quincy was talking about! Duh!

that is not rocket sceince

Nothing wrong with what Quincy is saying in that video and Prince going full Liberace on the piano doesn't prove it wrong either.

Quincy is one of those people who thinks he invented everything and is probably pissed off that for all his talent, and i'll go along with those who put him at the very top of the 20th century talents, he's always been incapable of writing a hit pop song on his own.

U are so busy being a smartass that u are clowning yourself.

I was NOT talking about Purple music the song....I'm talking about Prince's music in general.

I don't care if u agree or not, that is irrelevant 2 the conversation.

If we all agreed on these topics, there would be no point 2 the topics.

I read somewhere that Q feels underappreciated and is not happy about his status in the world. He called MJ Machiavellian and greedy as fuck. He accused him of copping elements of Billie Jean from Donna Summer's State of Independence. He said George Harrison or Ringo Starr, I don't remember which one now, that it took him like two hours to figure out like two chords or something. I mean he's like fuck the world.

As far as Prince hater, I don't know but according to Q when Prince went to meet with MJ for the Bad duet, he says Prince called Mike Camille. Go figure. Maybe the booze discombobulating his brain?

Imagine being someone like Quincy...so so great and having worked with the greats...yet, looking at a guy like Prince could still make him jealous. Why would you NOT want to play everything at a high level (as Prince did) but still be able to dance....or do the showmanship he displayed at the Hall of Fame...or write the songs he did...or put on the performances he's known for ....or pick up the chicks he did Someone like Prince could make any musician jealous....he was praised by the most diverse collection of musicians I can think of...from Eric Clapton, to Eryka Badu....Sting, D'Angelo, Springsteen, John Mayer ....

Quincy is a great but Prince had his own orbit.

but the hammer too soft

Q is not a hater in any way, he just stated the obvious

haters are just the stans who can't accept those facts

and then run away like chickens when challanged to support their point, right Gray? LOL

Miles Davis' view:

.

"Hell, he's got it all! Multi-musician with a damned vengeance! As a drummer he can hold it down, you know what I'm sayin'?... As a guitar player... he puts out! Plus, he's a goddamn great piano player. Matter of fact, he's about as good as they get, and I've worked with the best, I should know!"

So did you tell him off at his "ULTRA private documentary premiere?"

I'll have you know that I was at Quince's (that's what we, his close friends call him) ULTRA private documentary premiere and I didn't see ChocolateBox3121 there at all. Me and Quince are pretty tight, and between you and me, I don't even think they'd have let ChocolateBox3121 in the venue... security was pretty heavy.

[Edited 9/4/20 12:12pm]

I have HIGH respect for legends like Quincy(whom made Will Smith a star). I would NEVER in that envirornment confront him. It's NOT the place.
