I actually don't think Maxx trolls as much as you think. I haven't been around all this time but you've said he's been posting for years this way. You think he's not being honest with his views after this long about some of things he posts? Of course he throwns funny lines here and there to make it funny but i do think these things he says reflect his views. The way i see it to some of y'all, Prince makes most artists look bad and small because he's an around talent who can perform really good live and not many can do that. But if you look at it from the perspective of how many songs he got that most people care about, how his songs have aged, how good of a singer he is and whatnot..a lot of artists can be considered better. It's all opinion.. Why should we automatically place Prince over anyone just because of his abilities when there's other things to value as well such quality of the songs, the production, the singing and other things. It depends of what the listener values first.
and the fact that you're in the post calling people trolls because they think Stevie Wonder is vastly superior to Prince shows how not so open you are when it comes
putting someone over Prince. You've kinda exposed yourself in this thread.
