No, they're not really anti-Rick James, but whenever youknowwho brings up Rick and/or R. Kelly in comparison to Prince, Prince always gets the higher rating, so to speak. This doesn't sit well with Maxxx.

Actually I started a thread on there myself called "Rick James' Influence On Prince". It is basically a carbon copy of a thread I started on the org a while ago, except with responses coming from Rick James fans rather than Prince fans.

It starts out by me explaining that I am a huge fan of both artists and asking everyone if they thought Prince may have started being controversial due to seeing Rick's behaviour on the tour they shared together. Naturally, everyone praised Rick more than Prince, that's understandable, it's a Rick James website and he is their favorite. I can say, however that not one person was disrespectful to me for being a Prince fan, even Mistermaxx (on my thread anyway).

I ran into people that didn't like Prince but they still admired him as an artist. I also ran into people that started out as Prince fans but left him because of his weird direction in music after "Purple Rain", which is understandable. I also ran into people, like myself that like both Rick James and Prince. Mista Irv was very intelligent.

Feel free to check it out. It's on page 2 of the threads and the thread is about midways down the page. When you open the thread, it is 3 pages long.

P.S.: This is where the thread is at the present. As people post, the thread moves further and further down and if someone places a new post in it, it moves to the front (just like the org). Keep that in mind if you don't see it right away.

From my observations, the individuals on the Rick James site that keep some shit going and hate on P would be Pyro and Max to a certain extent. I definitely encourage everybody to check it out b/c its some interesting stuff on it.

I once noticed that Mistermaxxx did over 4000 reviews at Amazon.com, can you believe that???

From that thread:

ain't trying to see no Purple Played out Turkey wobbling into a fake light pole&singing Off-Key&Playing random guitar licks to save face while being Drunk.please show some class.



And pretty much unrelated, but this is somebody's sig pic over there. WTF is 2 cents wearing?

that cant be healthy.

now i get why he says so much shite about P

I agree Hotlegs. I can't really judge Pyro John though, because if he really did tour with Rick James like he claims, then he may know something about Prince that no one else knows or he could have gotten into it with Prince personally. He did tell me in one of the threads that he was not exactly Prince's favorite person on Rick's "Fire It Up" tour. I'd love to ask him what he knows but I don't want him to think I'm just someone trying to dig for info on Prince and not a Rick James fan at all because I am a huge Rick James fan.

From what I've observed with Max, is that he is an ex-fan of Prince. He knows too much about Prince's band members and unreleased stuff to not have been a fan. I confronted him with it on his new thread he started basically telling all the Prince fans to leave. Oh yeah, he's really pissed with Otan now. He's going slap off!

By the way, I saw your post on there and it was great. You definately are my girl!
