Before Prince was big, Rick James was the man

[Obtain Knowledge]

Before Prince became big, Rick James was running things. Dude was the hardest, wildest and talented cat all rolled into one before Prince came along. Now Prince did have the more successful career but Rick James was still the man once upon a time:

There is a reason for that. Prince is the better songwriter, performer, and musician.

Nah, a lot of it has to do with the fact that Rick James was into drugs. Drugs held Rick James back. Rick James was a talented song writer and musician as well.

I remember my older cousin talkin about going to a Rick James concert the night before. She said he was "naaaaaaaaaaaasty" and he brought some girl on the stage and she snatched his wig and ran off in the audience.

It's all a matter of opinion but Rick James put a great amount of studio albums and songs a side from the Street Songs album that are overlooked but Street Songs is like his Purple Rain album.

Well, of course... Prince can legitimately claim to be the greatest musician of all-time pre Trinidad James.
