Nothing Prince did in the 90s is f***ing with Dangerous let alone the high points on History. If someone makes 2926373837 albums in a decade vs someone making two, and 90% of those albums are frisbee material nobody cares about.. come on now. Y’all are hilarious on here. This is why these MJ x Prince talks get like they do lol, Prince fans swear they were on an equal level. They weren’t. I absolutely adore Prince… but Prince was chasing MJ it was never the other way around. One was deeply bothered (Prince) by the other, it was never the other way around. These are documented facts.
” 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.”
That doesn’t sound like Prince was chasing MJ. Get your facts straight if you’re gonna talk out your ass.
crazy how much bigger PR would've been if he just rode out the era for another year or so.. dude really hated mainstream appeal
Bro dropped Raspberry Beret then Kiss
He was on everyone’s head
Having supreme knowledge of producing, mixing, mastering and all instruments and all personal nuances of songwriting does give you the upper hand over the impersonal pop factory
Eh, it's impressive sure, but it's not the ultimate mark of musicianship. There are musicians that are naturals, and have never read music in their lives but they can still move people.
Also, This is the same kind of talk some folks use to dismiss the hip hop genre so I'm not with it
Thriller to Beat It to Billie Jean to Human Nature

I came here to hate but god damn that just might be the greatest song streak of all time
its still Purple Rain though just because I'll pick Bad over Thriller but wont pick Bad over PR
The one with The Lady In My Life
Triller
contrarian niggas want to seem intellectual so pick purple rain but put on thriller and just hear how it washes
I only like “Purple Rain” from the album Purple Rain, and I still chose Purple Rain over Thriller
I’ll go with purple rain not my favorite Prince album, I don’t think, but I spin it more than thriller
