[I love Latina women]

This right here tho

Man I love both these guys too but nikkas disrespecting the genius that is Prince

yup

 

[Whitty Hutton]

mike had to learn to write...prince was writing out the gate..for himself n his side groups..

What do you mean he had to learn to write? He came into the business when he was like 10, and then was writing as a teenager. The reason the Jackson 5 left Motown is because they wouldn't let them record their own songs. Unless you know about some writings from a 12 year old Prince, I don't see the argument about him being a writer earlier than MJ

Another Platinum Wally Russell thread

Prince doing big numbers in The Booth . . and everyone involved is benefiting greatly from the discussion. A lot was learned today and we're all better people for having participated in this discussion

 

[NormanConnors]

fukk all this bullshyt nikkas talking who wanna go track for track?

Mike by body bag

Prince owes a fair share of his success to Rick James and Shuggie Otis

Prince is the master of a couple hot tracks/okay album theory too.

MJ probably bumped into Prince that night, noticed he was zooted out his mind and was like

People forget Prince was a good dancer. Prince learned how to dance after the 1999 album tour because...you know...artists evolve and shyt. MJ never learned guitar tho

MJ was the more technical dancer but Prince was more athletic and at times, exciting. In the video compilation below. Enjoy Prince dancing at the following time points:
0:04 (does a standard modern dance kick and spin)
0:15 (Very tight Soul Brother #1 shuffle)
0:32 (James Brown inspired dance moves again.
0:59 (Some breakdance thrown in there)
1:14 (the splits - many times)
2:40 (Some Jackie Wilson shyt right here)
3:58 (Fantastic series of movements including the 'Detroit Crawl')
4:22 to 4:38 (Some Nicholas brothers inspired stuff)

“Michael drops his paddle and holds his hands up in front of his face so the ball won’t hit him. Michael walks out with his bodyguard, and Prince starts strutting around like a rooster. ‘Did you see that? He played like Helen Keller.’”

Compare anything...musicianship, songwriting, vocals, shyt even the hair. But the dancing? Michael owns that shyt hands down.

Michael was the better dance, but Prince had some moves too. Easy breh.

excerpt from - Prince: Inside the Music and the Masks


@stomachlines @shopthatwrecks

Mike was a real nikka... there's so many stories of the REAL him... the coli really should have a whole official thread even though he isn't hip hop, he's hip hop

even lisa marie pressley used to say he was different at home... like completely different. the voice was faked and the way he acted all playful... he'd get home and drop all that bullshyt and drink and chill and party

 

[Quinton Barnes]

I'm just saying. He wasn't more exciting than Mike by a long shot, neither was he more athletic. Michael is probably the most unique dancer in popular music, and he's by far the most skilled. Compared to your average pop star, yeah Prince has moves, but he doesn't belong in the same conversation as Mike when it comes to pure dancing ability.

Loser leaves town match
