OK...so this is your opinion again...I dig that....I won't debate that...

But what does this have to do with u falsely claiming that Prince was washed up by the age of 30?


>and it ain't like the cat was aided by having soundtracks
>cover the bumps along the road of Lovesexy.

We all know why LoveSexy barely went platinum....Nigga naked on the album...One track sequencing all the way through...People needed a break from Prince....And P didn't get that memo...

But to act like dude couldn't sell records without a soundtrack is silly...Hell, Graffiti Bridge was a BOMB of a movie...And he still managed to sell 1-2 million copies off of that...lol


>Prince was the same age as Rick James when he put out diamonds
>and pearls and you know good and skippy it wasn't nowhere near

Again...I love your hypocrisy...U be BLASTING people on this site for trying to talk about impact and "art"...Now u all about artistic impact????...lol....Man, go somewhere with this fake shit....lol...

And reading is fundamental...PRINCE SOLD 5 MILLION COPIES...Those other few millions were worldwide...HELL, even if u want to say it was just 3 million in the States (and again, he sold over that in the US) that's more than Rick's biggest album, if you want to play that silly game (and I don't)...

If you are going to debate me you got to keep up homie...

This is what u r left with...jokes....


The funny part is Prince sold almost just as many albums in the '90s as Rick James (RIP), and that was considered his "off" decade...

To me it's straight no chaser...Prince sold a lot of music after the age of 30...And he's even had no. 1 albums into his 40's...

No one is asking u to like dude's later work...

But don't lie....
