Prince's music overall doesn't stack up against MJs. Sorry but it's true brehs.

"The music's OK, I guess...." is how I feel about Prince's entire discog
That's a harsh assessment. Are you considering that Prince is responsible for all of the work you're hearing from songwriting to production and Michael Jackson's work is the product of great producers and songwriters. Michael Jackson had the better voice, he had the dance moves . . . but he didn't have the songwriting and musicianship talent that Prince had

Rick James an MJ didnt fukk with Prince it seems :jbhmm:

Prince and Rich James beef stems from their tour together, they basically called each other out for stealing part of their stage show (this is a common story on tours - once Tupac called out DJ Quik for this)

For me, Prince and Rick James represent the next step in the evolution of funk that the archetype George Clinton laid down. Where he made spaced out psychedelic jam records. . . they were making songs. This


Prince and Michael Jackson . . to me, represent labels trying to find a more marketable Stevie Wonder after the success of Songs in the Key of Life . . someone who was less "black" for them to sell to white America

MJ and Prince had the Weirdest rivalry, but both of them knew that they were geniuses and both of them knew that they were the only ones truly running the 80's.

Quincy Jones tried for YEARS to get MJ and Prince to work together. The first time they ever met they just sat across from each other staring and never said a word.


Quincy Jones tried to get Prince to be on the We Are The World song. MJ was indifferent about his inclusion and Prince seemed reluctant but agreed. Prince was a no show for the session but called at the last minute to ask if he could come put down a guitar solo. MJ amd Quincy said no

Another time MJ had Prince break down, in graphic detail, the meaning and themes behind his song "Jack U Off". Prince played along and described the song to MJ while rolling his eyes


Another time Prince had a "gift" for MJ, he opened the gift see some charms and feathers. Prince, not saying a word, then left the room. Quincy told MJ to burn it, fearing it was some voodoo curse (yes this story is real)


We all know the infamous story behind Bad. MJ originally wanted it to be a collaboration with Prince, his original concept for the video was for them to have a Dance off with Prince to see who was really Bad. Prince later joked that he was put off by the opening lyrics but the truth is he thought the song was garbage.

Too bad Prince was wrong because the song was dope, video was dope, dance sequence was dope and even the little kid version in Moonwalker was fukkin official.
