So it's shocking news, for sure, and people are going to be understandably upset.

But we all know that the Purple King is all about the music. So
let's have a conversation about the music, since he's keeping it
fonky in the next realm.

For example, yesterday, I was watching this performance from when
he was on Arsenio in '14, doing "Mutiny". Fonky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMps1ue_024

And now I'm sitting here thinking, kind of as a tangent, that
Common's "Star 69" is probably the one track that's out there
that both Prince and Dilla touched on musically, which is crazy
to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoIA6hWXh2w

I've always wondered what keyboards and guitar he contributed,
since that's what the credits say. I was always curious about
that.

But what's your current favorite that you were bumpin just
yesterday? Or your favorite Purple Conspiracy. The fantasy
album you always wanted to hear for him. Your curiosities
about the vault. Let's chop it up, if you feel like it.

But as it is, the Purple King has transformed. Here's to an
absolute force of nature and truly one of a kind phenomenon.
The dude that made every musician afterwards wanna drop an
album that read in the credits "Produced, Written, Recorded,
and Performed by".

Thank You Prince.
