70. "Prince provided an alternative manhood" In response to In response to 44
in hindsight:
how many tropes of manhood have been laid out?:
Dukes of Hazzard Fall Guy Buck Rogers etc...
All the leading men since forever been white, and any 'acceptance' in Western society been hinged on assimilating and mimicking the 'White Maverick'
How many lanes did nxggas have when prince was poppin? As an outsider it was just dope to reach that understanding that THIS IS ALSO A MAN. That there was no specific way i had to 'be' to be considered a man.
Nxggas have drank their fair amount of 'real nigga' koolaid just in the name of 'survival'. Prince represented a LOT of different shit to ME. I don't necessarily connect with 'celebrities' like that, but that title was moreso something people thrust upon him than how he represented himself.
