My friend and mentor met one guy from Puerto Rico who he works with. This dude was like who is Prince? I don't know where this man had been living all this time but I don't think it was earth.

He has several threads in the booth. Just because y'all didn't pay attention to him doesn't mean everyone else didn't.

Another thing I fukking HATE is when people make these celebrities deaths about them.
Ol' "it's all about me" ass motherfukkers.
Every time a celebrity dies, it's the same-o:
"Oh my gawd, that's my third cousin Ray Ray's barber's best friend's uncle! I'm in tears right now!"
"Oh my gawd, I almost fainted at work and I can't deal. I'm going to take this week off and might need to see a therapist."
"Oh my gawd, I saw him in concert and I swear he locked eyes with me. That touched my soul and now that's he gone and I'll never be the same."
"Oh my gawd, I had a dream about (insert celebrity) last night and this is what happened (insert four page essay)."
I hate people.

Fukk your corny debates
Prince is the only celebrity I ever cried for when they died. His music had a deep personal impact on my life. I'll probably cry when Nas dies too.
Though I do agree a lot of people are being extra with their grieving. I know people who I never knew to be fans who are acting all dramatic on facebook.
Also I find these memes about how you reacted when you heard Prince died to be distasteful.

Pretty sure you're just generally an unhappy person. People upset about musicians generating a larger fanbase post-mortem tend to be miserable, there's nothing wrong with it and I doubt their loved ones resent them for it.

People love attention. They try to turn someone elses death into a spotlight for them.

Was just talking to my mom today about how I never really messed with Prince's music and found him kinda weird.
But I'm not gonna roast the dude right after his death. Gotta pay homage sometimes

The man passed, why can't they show their respects even though they may not be Huge fans?

ExactlyThere was a thread last week about him shading and disrespecting other musicians on national TV. but that was about it.
One in which I and many other participated in the fukkery.. All in good fun
Prince has been a part of my life since I was born. Just because We didn't talk or listen to his shyt EVERYDAY doesn't mean we didn't care, or that he wasn't one of my main influences in getting into music, or that he didn't influence GENERATIONS or helped change the game for creativity in music.
Or that he didn't put nikkas on who's name and gifs we see on this forum almost daily... Including his own.
He stepped out the limelight and music evolved.. It happens. But he was JUST having a concert out here that my sister was trying to go too but I think he canceled last minute.
If you didn't know who Prince was then you weren't black and from this country most likely. Everybody fukked with Prince no matter how flamboyant he was
Minneapolis born in raised, My older sister was in one of his videos in 97', my pops played on Prince's rec league bball team, my moms went to high school with him.
Everyone has their own attachment to Prince.
Some more than others.
If you are from Minnesota, you lost a family

If a nikkas says "Erotic City" is one of their favorite Prince songs than I automatically know they are a true fan
