Prince was cooler when he was puerto rican

"Off The Wall" was very successful but almost a year later, it was completely out of style on R&B radio. The Jacksons would have never released "Truimph" if it had been drug out for years. During this time, Michael would release an album with his brothers the next year but Michael as a solo artist was considered old news once his solo album got old after a year (which was normal for the time). Prince and everyone else was still fresh because they kept the new albums coming every year. But like I said before, Michael, the solo artist, was old news for years at a time on R&B radio because it took him that long to release a new album. The years he released something with his brothers, everyone was praising the group, not him alone. Pop radio is the one that made him out to be more than what he really was and kissed his ass.

As for me "inventing things" and talking "total bullshit", these were my junior high and high school years and I lived through this era I listened to R&B radio 99% of the time. Were you even born yet back then or were you were in diapers? I didn't read my facts from some music critic after the fact, I lived through them and was old enough to remember what the music critics (which are usually pop, not R&B critics) don't tell you because they don't know.

The Girl Is Mine is more immature than any on Thriller.

Those are extremely adult subjects in those songs. Meanwhile, Michael was singing about ghosts and goblins and things.

And that's REALLY sad that that may be true. 2 Grown ass men signing about whose chick it is.

vainandy said:

Exactly!

MuthaFunka said:

How about that?

vainandy said:

He's still singing about those things.

I think some people on this board have a whole different definition of maturity.
P is dealing with race, personal freedom, sex, and nuclear destruction on 1999.

laurarichardson said:

Exactly. In fact, P was bringing up racial/spiritual/political/sexual issues early on in just one damn song/album - CONTROVERSY. MJ went "Disney" with his "Black or White" cut, as to not shake up any of his fan base. P put a lotta racial issues on blast and didn't give a fuck.

Even sadder when you consider one of the men (Paul) is over FORTY! Then we heard a replay ("Same Girl").

Macca: "I love you MORE than HE (take you anywhere)!"
MJ: "BUT I love you ENDLESSLY (loving we will share)!"

Girl: "Who cares? I'm dating Rick James!"

MuthaFunka said:

That's very not pimp!

MuthaFunka said:

Usher-she's my man....I mean GIRL!....yea....girl
R.Kelly-well I pissed on the bitch first!

bboy87 said:

Plus you can probably tell from both guys' language that the girl wasn't into 'em. She wanted someone like Prince or Rick, Michael and Paul were pretty boys.

Their conversation was not even believable:

Paul: "Michael we're not gonna fight about this, ok?"
Michael: "Hehe, Paul I think I told you I'm a lover, not a fighter."

It sound like they were having tea. It was a cute love song. But I'm glad "Billie Jean" kicked it to the curb. That at least is a mature song since it talks about infidelity and extra-marital pregnancy, lol, though in MJ's world, it was a girl accusing him of fathering ONE of her twins, lol.

but look- mj was very heavily influenced by the JWs back then and now its P who has that influence- he hasn't gone disney but he was damn near close

my black friends prefer Prince over MJ so there...

I think for the most part we're more familiar with Michael than Prince. We claim him for life.

rainbowchild said:

and it's opposite for me

But that's because they don't really know who Prince is

yes this particular orger always seem to make it a race issue. On my most ovverated artists thread he/she accused me of picking only black artists because they were black. i stifled this argument quickly, but i think he/she killed the thread. My most logical guess is that he/she is a white 11 year old who just watched Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and is convinced everything is a race issue.

I still can't believe he even wanted to bring up the subject of maturity by referring to Prince as having the mind of a retarded teenager when Michael Jackson's goofy ass has the mind of a damn 8 year old.

vainandy said:

Well the dude doesn't call himself Krayzie for nothing. It certainly fits him talking all that bullshit.
