So you are saying that Bowie is more talented and iconic than prince? Lol. Somebody compare their stats.
You're actually serious
And I'm saying this as a huge Prince fan. Prince is more talented musically, in terms of playing instruments yes, but the rest

Pull some stats. # 1 records, billboard charts, Grammys, AMAs. Don't say no damn MTV awards from the 80s either because they were giving blacks no credit.
In terms of albums sold.
Bowie - 140+ mil
Prince - 100+ mil
Prince: 16 Plantimum/multi platinum albums -
Bowie: 10 platnimum/multi-plat albums
Bowie - Two Billboard number 1 singles
Prince - 27 #1s
Bowie - 1 grammy, with 10 nominations. 2 Brit awards with 8 Nominations. 1 Q award with 8 nominations. 12 awards and 52 nominations overall counting some less prestigious awards.
Prince - 7 Grammys, 33 nominations. 1 Academy Award. 11 awards and 45 nominations overall counting some less prestigious awards.
As a british Artist Bowie has a lot more certifications overseas though, but so does prince. I only counted RIAA certifications for both. As far as influence goes they're probably pretty even depending on the genre. Both were huge for decades and have been music/pop culture staples for like 40+ years.
Im mad people keep acting like Im supposed to care about David Bowie.
look at this institutionalised coli breh.shyt on a legendary GOAT that gave us so much music to make us dance, think, get females, chill, free our minds, fight the powersthat be, in favor of a cac who experimented with nazi imagery.
Who I shyt on cornball and where did I shyt on em

At this peanut butter & jelly bullshytnikka WHAT REST?!
Prince is a 99th percentile contemporary musical artist. That's backed by stats AND talent. It literally can't get much better than Prince
David Bowie couldn't hold prince's jock strap from the pay window to the window where you grab your food at a McDonalds drive thru
Nice research. I think Prince got him though. I don't remember Bowie ever doing the Super Bowl. Plus Bowie's prime was during that weird ass MTV era when they weren't playing black music. Of course he would sell better over seas. He is from there.
Y'all be worried about random cacs too much
The only music that matters is what we make, his opinion is for cacs on who is the best black pop artist. Nothing he says is valid to us personally. Y'all still got that white man in your head making your emotions flare to the point where you would skew what he said to have a white man to argue with.
Who gives a shyt, music begins and ends with us the fukk y'all care for either way.

Never gave a fukk about this dude, but he was right to say RAP was the cutting edge back then.

More of the same, Bowie was a white supremacist and his death is no sweat off my back.
It sounded like bowie was interigating that dude
