That was too damn funny!!

I've been tellin' you guys this for awhile now...Justin is nothing but a fake,wannabee performer with a huge ego.He thinks he is Prince,Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder all rolled into one (NOT!).And now that he has a hit CD,he's going around dissing other artists.He's a loser.Remember what a big pussy he was during the SuperBowl fiasco?

The song sucked but thanks to leading me to the site cause I got to hear Gavin Degraw do a pretty catchy rendition of Lets Get it on!

I can't find the link, but if I remember correctly,...there was a thread a few months ago that said to the effect, "What Prince needs is a young artist to challenge him to be more creative."

Uh Oh, look out Prince! little Justin is calling you out! What'ca gonna do!?!



Probably nuttin.

its all just so disrespectful to the very music he copies.

he has no real respect for black artists and music in my opinion.

Just copy it and make money and he really thinks he's doing something.

For REAL. In contrast to Eminem. I'm no fan, but I never sensed that kind of disrespect coming from Em.

Actually, I'm sure he'll do the equivalent (in his own mind) of the Dixie Chick's "Shut Up and Sing." As in: "Poor me, there's a conspiracy by the black artists who I steal from--they're trying to bring me down!"

Whatever!

I'll give credit where credit is due. Whoever wrote this either got some guts or just sold off his brain to Ebay,,,,and last I heard, Justin doesn't fit that bill. And you know whats more ironic?

Its ALL Timbaland's creation, and he used Justin as a puppet for this track. You know that this little Becky ain't got the heart to write some shit like that(and on top of that, living off Prince's musical reject leftovers).

But you watch, this DICKIE whooped pussy motherfucker will come out in TV and press climbing on Janet's clit and Prince's twiddle doo dah, claiming HIMSELF that this track was never aimed at Prince/Janet and the thought of him disrespecting older legens never crossed his mind, instead of coming REAL about it.

Tune in for him playing the best role he ever tackled in his life; a worn out PUSSY.

I agree. This is the core of the issue for me. Plus, I don't like the Justin's persona--what he has put out there through his actions. He might be a really nice guy. Maybe he has been misunderstood this time around again?

But the bottom line is respect. If this is actually true, Justin might have been offended by Prince's comments, but don't call him an "influence" one day then turn-around and kick him the next. There is just something about crossing the line, and I don't think Prince's little "Sexy never left," comment was offensive enough for Justin to come-up with some diss-rap to keep it real. The reality is Justin might be at the top of the pop charts right now, but that doesn't mean that he is anywhere near the creative force of a Prince, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Michael Jackson, Janet to a certain degree-- well any legend who came before.

I wonder how the music community would have responded if Timberlake dissed the late Johnny Cash or the still-alive-and-kicking Willie Nelson--or Keith Richards who isn't above hurling a few insults?? Let's say one of those guys insulted Justin: would music fans say that they had Justin's jabs coming? No, I have a feeling that a lot of music fans would say that it was Justin who had it coming in the first place.There is just something very opportunistic and even expedient about Justin. That said, he is a talented "puppet," oops performing artist. At least he has that going for him.

In a way, I hope that this is not true because it will be very disappointing if this is some sort of verbal retaliation even used as a marketing ploy. There is just something not quite right about it that is indicative and representive of a greater social problem.

I guess you ignored my post.
They have a show on BET called "Beef". Do you know what that's about? Even if you don't watch BET, they do the same thing on VH-1, only its usually in the form of one of those 2-hour hate-a-thons that start with titles like "Rocks 100 most..."
Conflict sells.
And technically, if someone takes a shot at you publicly, ANYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO RETALIATE. This doesn't change the fact that I think Justin's a little bitch but anyone has the RIGHT to defend themselves no matter what "legend" is dissing them.

If it was Keith Richards or Bob Dylan now you know Justin would never see the end of it. WOOOh, would that be a scandal! He probably wouldn't receive anymore critical praise.I've noticed on a few sites that people are saying Janet deserves it.

Funny that you mentioned that!!.... ur last statement...on some sites I saw where they were saying that Prince deserved it...he shud've kept his mouth closed blah blah blah!! someone even went as far as to say he was more talented than Prince!! I had to LOL @ that !!

I like Justified and his latest hits but I still wouldn't compare him with Prince or any Jackson!!

Oh well,I enjoy his music but I don't consider him being an a[i]rtist[/i]
,Timbaland is the artist and Justin the flavor of the year

Prince & Janet did deserve it those people are absolutely right.
