What u^^^said...
Like i said...This is a silly statement...And everyone on this board knows while Prince is my dude, I do not believe he is the GOAT (That crown goes to JB)
Still, saying he doesn't play well with others makes no sense...Prince is no different than any other alpha male artist (JB, Sly Stone, George Clinton ect...)
These guys were cool playing ball as long as you were playing THEIR GAME...And Prince was no different..
But given the many musicians that Prince has fostered and worked with over the years, I don't think saying P doesn't play well with others is the proper statement...
Prince's thing has always been to control the situation....And that's no different than any other larger-than-life bandleader over the years...
Except maybe Miles Davis and Frank Zappa...
