|
Sep 14th 2012 | 11
|
| oh he's got songs post-Lovesexy that I love, just sayin it started there |
|
Sep 14th 2012 | 14
|
| yes. that's when he came off his artistic peak, IMO. |
|
Sep 14th 2012 | 19
|
| Agreed |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 79
|
| Yall buggin. Lovesexy is one of my favorites. Come is the Fall off. |

| Yeah, I Didn't Tune In To The Lyrical Context Till Later,,,, |
|
Sep 15th 2012 | 38

|
Sep 15th 2012 | 42
|
| Its his 4th turning point classic |

Sep 15th 2012 | 37

Sep 16th 2012 | 57
|
| My point being not so much about Hip Hop/R&B/Black radio |
|
Sep 16th 2012 | 58
|
| it wouldn't have mattered. |

|
Sep 17th 2012 | 71
|
| Yeah. |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 73
|
| I see what you did. |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 91
|
| I doubt that. He was one of the biggest acts of the 80's |
|
Sep 16th 2012 | 65
|
| if in 1990 he was releasing singles that sounded just like 1984 |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 69
|
| I might agree with this right here |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 82

Sep 16th 2012 | 61

|
Sep 17th 2012 | 89
|
| his run was gonna end when it did, no matter what. |
|
Sep 16th 2012 | 46
|
| yup, u only get so many years @ the absolute cultural/creative zeitgeist |

Sep 16th 2012 | 50
|
| I knew a person who said that if Prince hadn't fired W&L |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 85
|
| which is why I said 'integral to what the Prince brand had become' |
|
Sep 16th 2012 | 47
|
| Prince's music really isn't the issue.... |
|
Sep 16th 2012 | 51
|
| Based on what? |
|
Sep 16th 2012 | 53
|
| it's funny that WE all know what dude's talking about |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 67
|
| again based on what? What criteria are we using? |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 90
|
| is the music good or not? |
|
Sep 18th 2012 | 96
|
| plenty of jams in the 90's and 2000's |
|
Sep 19th 2012 | 103
|
| not really. |
|
Sep 20th 2012 | 115
|
| I'm pretty sure in the archive there is a post about it |
|

| I really don't think Prince's decline is that big a deal. |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 68
|
| it's not at all. it's the 'natural' order of things. |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 70
|
| of course it's not... he's suppose to write Purple Rain's every year |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 72
|
| I agree with this. |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 83
|
| the second he let rap (his word)/hip hop get to him |
|
Sep 17th 2012 | 74

Sep 17th 2012 | 88
