It's MJ and it's always gonna be MJ....fukk what you think!....
Lets settle this shyt: who was better michael jackson or prince
- Thread starter darryl
- Start date
If we are talking straight up careers, Mike
Being honest, the only reason this is a discussion is because mike fukked his career up sleeping with kids. He would have never fell off in popularity if it wasn't for that.

I don't think MJ gets enough credit artistically and as a music composer.
Maybe he didn't know how to play every instrument, but he knew exactly which sounds he wanted and dictated how he wanted them laid down.
It's not like he just sang and danced.

Quincy Jones produced the biggest MJ albums. Prince wrote and produced Prince, The Time, Sheila E, Vanity/Apollonia 6. Aint no comparison.

Prince for me, he was great at everything he did, and the fact he could play so many instruments ontop of being a great performer and song writer?You could show up at one of his performances and he'd be just as amazing on the keys as he is with a guitar, shyt made no kind of sense how gifted he was.
I love em both though, but the edge to Prince.
This right here.......... have to say Prince is my fav through the 80's, 90, and 2000's........ When I heard Purple Rain it was a wrap......danced, wrote, and played guitar like no other......
I was a fan of Mike, I have both Thriller and Bad cd's at the house and that moonwalk is and always will be legendary.

According to Will.i.am, Mike was pissed after the 2006 Prince in vegas situation cause he felt no one recognized his talent as a composer compared to Prince.
MJ was, Prince was more skilled when it came to creating music however.
MJ is a over all better artist, he touched people of all ages decade to decade.
Prince had more of a message and had raw musical talent when it came to creating music.
Both or icon's that will never be recreated.
Mj was no slouch with creating and what he would associate his name too either tho

MJ was the better dancer and better singer
Prince was the better musician, better writer, better producer basically better behind the scene shyt.
I say live performance is a tie. Mike gonna dance and Prince gonna play
I personally like Prince's discography better because it is more consistent and relate able
personally I like Prince better just because he and his music seems more relatable. Both were prodigies but I think the whole millionaire at 9 years old made Mike lose some of his humbleness. Mike seems like a guy who wouldn't keep it real with you (that media training as a youngsta) and caved in to trends (Teddy Riley as producer, Heavy D on his songs, working with the hot at the moment talent) while Prince just seemed more genuine like creative control matters and not jumping trends, I mean if you were a newer artist and Prince worked with you its more sincere like he actually fukks with you as opposed to Mike who would work with you as long as your name hot.
