2681387, Babyface Giving Major Props to Prince
Posted by j_bhadra, Tue Apr-03-12 06:55 PM
So I know Maxxx craps all over Prince but what does it mean when his heroes give props to the guy he hates so much?

The above clip is a video compilation of live and backstage stuff from the Musicology tour from 2004. Babyface speaks on how much of an influence Prince was on him as a songwriter/whatever.
Cool video by the way...
Watching Wendy with Prince is always intriguing to me - hopefully they get back together and make something like Parade.

2681478, Prince is one of His Influences no doubt however

Michael Jackson and especially El Debarge are bigger on him as are Bill Withers, as is Thom Bell.
with babyface I can name a whole lot of artists who influenced his thing, but purple kool aid drankers only want to say Prince and it is so hard to have a conversation with the Purple diabetics clique.

"Body Talk" had a nod. matter of fact Face and prince both went there with one another.
Face had that vibe on some cuts"circumstancial Evidence" for the Mikki Free era Shalamar has a Minneapolis sound and vibe
and Prince returned the favor on the ELisa Fiorillo"On the way Up" which Prince had the Laface sound and groove on.
they both did a respect and dap thing on projects.
