Your best bet is one of those "TV compilation video" from Ebay. They have live footage of Chicken Grease (Chris Rock), Left & Right/Send It On/Sex Machine (VH-1), Untitled from chris rock and all the promo videos etc.

He also gets wrongly blamed for Saul Williams' liner notes in the Voodoo album which comment on Prince in a sometimes negative light.

Wrongly? It was D'Angelo's album, not Saul Williams'. D obviously endorsed the liners by the very fact that they're contained in his album. D'Angelo is a target on that front because he's in the spotlight more than Saul...and is carrying on the tradition.


Isn't that the same as saying Prince fully endorsed being called a "public relations goof ball" or saying his material had been "just this side of stale" by Jim Walsh in The Gold Experience liner notes?

Maybe on both occasions the artist's simply allowed free reign to the writer...


Well what-EVA the case may b, its a good thing they wrote that, because it shook the cobwebs out of Prince's Paisley funk and inspired his ass again.

yeah i'm a real obsessed Prince fan and even I saw that quote as doing more good than harm and I think it was meant to inform listeners as to why Prince wasn't putting out the same kind of music he was known for, simply because of other acts he was lacking inspiration and if you don't get that, I feel 4 u.

If that was the reason, I think lack of inspiration was only part of it.

what i meant was during the time when people where complaining about what P was putting out, there was nobody else doing anything that was particurly stimulating either. We can see how the onslaught of the neo soul movement has caused Prince to once again go into the studio and do more funky stuff like he used to. This is evident even at Celebration when he brings these new artists there to jam with him. I think that is what was meant. Nothing more nothing less. That part of the essay was meant to show what can happen to a real artist because of lack of inspiration when other artists are slacking. If anything it portrayed Prince as an artist who simply became bored because there was no other artist out who could come close to him let alone aspire him to do better. As much as I love Prince, I found this analysis to be more logical than anything else offered up to explain why he wasn't doing that raw stuff anymore. After Brown Sugar was released, I just wanted more. I felt that D was borrowing heavily from P's sound and I wanted P to be doing that kind of music again. Well shortly after, I heard some P jams that reminded me he was the man!

Oh, I know what you meant. I just think it was only part of the reason. The other part, if you ask me, was because of his spite for Warner Brothers. I could explain it, but it would take up too much time. smile
