Chaka Khan and Prince were really good friends and she knows shyt about the industry we don't. Stop trying to gate-keep the info.

What's Chaka saying about the industry and how Prince passed?

 

[Biscayne]

Dude posted on April 15 that he "...bet $100 that Prince dies in two weeks."

Ohhh. I saw that one. Spooky out here, really spooky.

will.i.am on the Rivalry Between MJ and Prince
"He was in an interesting position with Michael. Because Will was famous by the time he started working with Michael, and he also got to him late in Michael's career. But the two of them, from what I can tell, seemed to have a pretty close connection. You don't realize this now, but there was a period after Michael's [child molestation] trial where he was bouncing around Europe. Will actually flew out to Ireland and met Michael at this ranch he was staying at, and they worked on music together. They really bonded. Will got to know him. Later, Will encountered Michael in [Las] Vegas. My favorite story Will told me involves Prince and the rivalry he had with Michael. Nobody really quite knows the full extent of their rivalry, and I think both of those guys had an interest in keeping it somewhat mysterious because they are both mysterious dudes. But when Prince was doing his Vegas residency around late 2006, Michael was living in Vegas. Will was a guest artist at the Prince residency, but he was also friends with Michael. So Will arranged it for Michael to be a guest in the audience at Prince's show. No one knew it really, but Prince knew it. There was a point during the show where Prince was playing bass and he came out into the audience with this giant bass—he knew where Michael was sitting—and he walked right up to Michael and started playing bass in Michael's face. Like aggressive slap bass. The next morning, Will went over to Michael's house for breakfast, and they're talking about Prince and the show. And then Michael goes, 'Will, why do you think Prince was playing bass in my face?' Michael was outraged. And then started going on. 'Prince has always been a meanie. He's just a big meanie. He's always been not nice to me. Everybody says Prince is this great legendary Renaissance man and I'm just a song-and-dance man, but I wrote "Billie Jean" and I wrote "We Are the World" and I'm a songwriter too.' All this disrespect for Prince came out from Michael that morning. One day, I hope Prince sits down and tells the truth about everything between him and Michael. Before I die, I want to know what the full deal was between the two of them."

Uncovering Michael Jackson's Bitter Rivalry with Prince

3. Prince beats Michael Jackson at ping-pong. Jackson famously paid Prince a visit while Prince worked on Under the Cherry Moon, his ill-fated cinematic follow-up toPurple Rain. Always a hospitable host, Prince invited Jackson to play ping-pong. “I don’t know how to play, but I’ll try,” Jackson replied.

Naturally, all the bystanders stopped what they were doing and watched the game, as this surely was the single most electrifying ping-pong match ever. As eyewitnesses later recounted, it started with some soft hits back and forth. Then Prince said, “Come on, Michael, get into it.” Then Prince taunted MJ again: “You want me to slam it?”

What happened next represents the most iconic moment in the history of sporting events between ’80s musical icons: Jackson dropped his paddle, and Prince slammed the ping-pong ball into MJ’s crotch. After Jackson left, Prince was justifiably feeling himself. “Did you see that?” he declared, according to Ronin Ro’s Prince: Inside the Music and the Masks. “He played like Helen Keller!”

The Four Signature Moments of the Prince–Michael Jackson Rivalry

at those Prince/MJ stories.

We'll never get any joint interviews or music, brehs.

In that case your basically saying name me multi-instrumentalists that can write music...
Dudes like Frank Zappa, McCarthy, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Pete Townshend, Freddy Mercury, John Paul Jones and the likes.

I'm sure there are quite a few... I still don't get your point though.
The guy who arguably made the greatest music of all time was hardly a competent player himself.
This is actually a recurring theme: the best composers are often not the best performers.

edit: Oh yes I forgot Fela Kuti

A few of them (may) meet the menu
but like i said......some could do this.
others could do that.
Prince mastered music.
he would record entire albums and then get the band
to play the songs post production for touring.
his band rarely ever played in the studio.
wendy/lisa and clare fisher for the violins and orchestra stuff.
he's one of the few entertainers that you could legit call a genius.

Please watch CNN with Brooke Baldwin she has been giving nonstop coverage coming up there will be a segment on his love life

 

[shutterguy]

ok do this.......
take any artist you can think of and leave them alone
in a room with drums,pianos/keyboards,guitars,
a 48 track board and a sound booth.
some would give you a great guitar track.
others would give you dope drum tracks.
some singing,some with beautiful concertos.
prince would hand you a album.....playing/doing everything.
you'd be hard pressed to name 10 people in the history
of music that could do that.

This right here, cats fail to realize that Prince could literally do everything himself and still give you a quality product.

Prince and Miles have had plenty of jam sessions together.I have this cd...they made some funky joints, if you can get your hands on this you struck gold.

Gonna be hella hard to find now, I will look tho........
