people need to quit defending prince like he's their first born son anyway.... I had hoped that he'd be smarter than to say something like that. But had he said that about any other legend I'd have been offended too. Prince is a great artist but we shouldn't take stuff too personally! I'm giulty of it too . . .

All of you can go to MTV'S website and click on MTV2 and do a search for Van Hunt. You can see the interview with Van. AND WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAID WAS, and i quote "Prince is my BIGGEST influence. It's very flattering to be compared to him, and i consider it an HONOR. He's a HERO OF MINE, and to think after all the years of practice, that i MIGHT be APPROACHING his level of musicianship, etc, etc, etc." So now all of you GO BACK and listen to the album WITHOUT prejudicial ears and realize that this is one of the most promising debut albums to come along in a VERY long time. Thank you. There have been misquotes around here before, it doesn't surprise me that this is just another one. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

LMAO Van Hunt is VERY talented. I read the title of this forum, and although I didn't see the interview, I knew that whoever posted it did so hearing what he/she wanted to hear. How sad. When I go to concerts, esp. aftershows, I often find myself looking around wondering who may be one of the nuts who post here, and think that Prince is a god or something. I wonder if all of the people bashing Van Hunt will come back, read this, and apologize to the man. Good Lord. You would think that this is a Brittany Spear's fan site with all of the blind idolatry going on. | |

research b4 you post! VH didn't "just come out!" 
-He's been producing and writing forever. Just b/c his first album came out this year, don't assume he's new. 
-Check the liner notes for Rahsaan Patterson's stuff. VH produced all of it. -Check Cree Summer's liner notes. -Look at VH's liner notes. Wendy's on it. Randy Jackson's on it. They go way back like ginger snaps. -the man plays all instuments, writes all his music, produces all his stuff and some other folks' stuff.  reading is fundamental.
-but I guess it's not your fault that you can't do a search in the Music: Other Artists (not Prince) forum. VH is all over that forum. This discussion has been had. And if you really want to be educated, read his interview with Foley. -this post is especially for: Moonwalkbjrain, FiveFootNine and violett. (I'm namin' names...) haha! I likes this post | |

Thanks for setting dumb-asses straight. It cracks me up how some folks here get bent whenever they hear anything that could remotely be interpreted as a dis to Prince. Although in this case, 'mis-interpreted' or 'fabricated' might be more appropriate. I think Van Hunt's album is good, not great, but I like 'Seconds of Pleasure' better than anything on Musicology. Definitely be interested in what he might come out with in the future... | |

his statement wasnt that far off of what i originally said and i still think his comment "i MIGHT be APPROACHING his level of musicianship" still is a fucking joke Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3 | |

Van Hunt is very talented indeed. 
Not only is he on Prince's level, he can slam dunk like Jordan and fuck like Johnny Holmes. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

A few words when quoting someone can make a world of difference. What you said he stated, and what he actually stated can be construed in completely different ways. Van Hunt has been around for a long time, has most likely produced many songs you've jammed to, and reading what he said, I find nothing to criticize. He's a fairly humble person. So what's your beef? | |

I don't think all people who don't like this are drinking purple kool aid. I just think it seems that recently everyone has been throwing Prince's name around too frequently. It's like it's not enough you're in the game unless you're compared to Prince in some form or fashion. It used to be Stevie but now it's Prince. I'm not saying Van Hunt isn't true or genuine, it just gets redundant that's all. I don't mind artists giving him his props but it seems that isn't enough they don't just stop there, it always ends in some form of comparison. Anyway I am diggin Van Hunt's music. I just think artists do better when they refrain from being compared to others. I mean it's undeniable how many artists have directly influenced Lenny Kravitz yet he hates it when a writer brings up Prince everytime he does an interview you can just see it. He has mad love for P but he still wants to be respected for who he is. I do like Van Hunt but for what Van Hunt does and I think if he can keep that in perspective, he'll do well as an artist not just as a writer or musician. | |

his statement wasnt that far off of what i originally said and i still think his comment "i MIGHT be APPROACHING his level of musicianship" still is a fucking joke Um, no. Not letting you off the hook that easily. You titled the f-ing thing "Van Hunt says he's on Prince's level", and that's NOT WHAT HE SAID. You posted it to start some shit, so all the little purple zombies would be walking around wanting to eat Van's brains. If you're going to post some inflammatory shit, then at least take the time to make sure you've got what the person said accurately. And for what adorable2 had to say, I agree that the media is constantly looking for new artists to compare to Prince. You can't blame Van Hunt for that. He's not writing the reviews or telling people to compare him to Prince. As much of a Prince fan as he is, he's said that he'd rather be the next Sly Stone. I will say this, i hadn't been as excited about a debut record since the first time i heard a Prince record. And that's not bullshit.

Don't stick me, I'm not the one responsible for the original BS post. BTW, I saw Dionne Farris perform in San Diego in '95 or so, and Van Hunt was in her band. I remember dude because he moved pretty easily between guitar and keys, as well as displaying vocal chops. He was a good musician back then and has been running with some pretty talented people ever since, so maybe he's not wrong to feel he "might be approaching Prince's level of musicianship". "Might be approaching" seems intentionally humble and somewhat broad, so maybe he's in the ballpark. | |

NOPE..Never...Oh Man..DIonne Farris. I saw her OPEN Long time ago for like SEAL or BRYAN FERRY she's AWESOME...WHY No Music.. AND PRINCE would go NO Label to Back Right? SAd... | |

kisscamille said: violett said: usher? are you serious? and if so, can u please explain why? I don't think Usher even comes close to being on Prince's level. He just wishes he was. He dances well, but that's about all. He sings ok, but not great. He doesn't play any instruments that I'm aware of and he has no personal style. He just copies MJ and Prince.

P.S. I've seen VH's live show and he wouldn't rock out. He was good, but he could'a been *pinches_fingers* that much better if he would'a rocked out. One day I'll post the pic of VH and I, so ya'll can see bruh-man in his element. "Pedro offers you his protection." | |

Like Chuck D. usd to say: "Shut 'em down!" Its funny how some folk on here (I'm NOT naming names) bash anyone who dare compare themselves to Prince in any way, shape form or fashion. Even if this was Van Hunt's first recording; that wouldn't mean that he's new or inexperienced at making music, would it? NO. There are a lot of people who just don't understand the music biz and thinks that anyone good is gonna get signed right away or something. That's far from the truth. And you can't compare Prince's "For You" to anything made these days because if "For You" came out this year, what label would pick it up? Probably NONE. Check the charts. The new artists have to play a different game than the one giong on back in '79. Van Hunt respects Prince, but he's doing his own thing. I guess that means he's doomed to be called a copycat from here on out on Prince.org.  | |

Anyways, I cannot really commit to this thread, as I have not heard anything by this fella.
But SOSGEMINI likes him lots, so it must be good. For people who like MUSIC, I would like to suggest to checkout the new album by Rashaan Patterson, called After Hours. It is amazing. Funky. Sexy. And I cannot find ONE song on the album I do not like. That is more I can say about Musicology... | |
