Prince is one of the greatest artists that ever lived
A fukking musical genius.
Dude can play his ass off on any instrument you put in his hands.
Wrote dozens of albums, influenced 100s of artists.



Comparing Frank to him is like comparing OJ Da Juiceman to Nas :usure:

Prince is/was original. Did Frank write, produce, play all the instruments, etc on his whole album?

I don't agree with OP but...

Does the fact Prince plays insutruments matter to anyone?

Who's walking around saying "yeah ________ makes great music but he doesn't play all the instruments so I don't listen to him"

Good music simply is good music, doesn't matter who plays the guitar etc.

Im just listening to his new album and the nicca kinda sound like prince :manny:

The only thing prince had a lil sugar water in him,but had bad bytches...and frank o is singing about rubbing on a guys faces :merchant:


lol..

yeah good analogy.

he does and its actually a good thing. He brought a little depth to modern R&B song writing.

The song he sings about Crack Rock or whatever its called is sorta like Prince's Pop Life (topic wise)

Anyway, my take on the album is (lets go beyond the new gay stuff) its incredible. The concepts, the live instruments, the abstract song writing all shows how stale Chris Brown, Trey Songs and even Usher music is.


Frank made me eat my words when I called him overrated.
