Is this that doc they were originally making after he died with that Buffalo story?

Saw the doc.

Told folks a long time ago that Motown let Rick down by not having his back when he stepped to MTV for not playing any black videos.

And Jay Lasker is a cuban cigar smoking fraud who was looking for any excuse to wash his hands of Rick.

Just watched the documentary. It was great and gave good insight to his career & life.

A lot of positive messages Rick was giving about being authentic.

the highlights were definitely the prince beef, him really not fully breaking thru until he was much older, burning the girl with crack pipe story, and sleeping in court. Rick was wild!!


Like his band members said, the Chappell Show kinda made him a caricature BUT it also reinvented him to a new audience, he had a new album and was about to go on tour again.

I liked this a lot

My only issue was him shytting on Hammer and rap music for its misogyny. Like, bruh really?
Yeah that was wild him shytting on rap when a few years before he was running into record label offices, snorting coke off table and putting his dicc in the face of another man..:dame:

Yeah, that was ridiculous. Dude complained about what they were rapping about when he basically did all of that in real life lol

but yeah I enjoyed the doc. Rick’s entire life before he made it big, being on the run from the army, linking up with Neil Young, could be a separate movie in itself

I’d also watch a movie focused only on Rick and Prince fukking with each other on tour lol
