prince is writing a book

Purposely reduce the quality of a thread, brehs

Prince won in the end. 1999 blows Street Songs outta the water. If the book is accurate, I bet you Part II will basically be him beefing Rick James.

Prince lost breh, getting punked out the keyboard you spent most likely weeks programming. Then hearing all those custom made sounds on another dude's album for free. LAUCE

That shyt ain't like today where everybody has access to the same sounds thru the Internet, same programs etc. That's big shyt. Half of what makes Prince PRINCE is the sounds he uses. Dude spent millions in Paisley Park customizing shyt.

Prince outsold Rick James with 1999 and then sold over 20,000,000 albums with Purple Rain. Don't think he lost breh. Rick James was chasing the brother after '1999' and 'Little Red Corvette'.

Prince didn't have Paisley Park at that point in the 80's.

Stats wise of course Prince won. I'm speaking as a music producer tho, as someone who has programmed a sound or two on a 80's synth. THat's a kill able offense

I wonder wat hes gonna say about Michael jackson

Rick by a long shot. I read a story on how Prince programmed a synthesizer for one of his albums and Rick James straight stole Prince's synth used it on his RICK JAMES album and then mailed the keyboard back with a thank you later.

Anybody who knows 80's synthesizer knows them shyts ain't easy to program. If you got a bunch of personal sounds on it, You shyt out of luck.



EDIT: FOUND IT!!!!!

Somebody from Rick James' message board who used to work as a roadie for him, said that he(Rick) stole the equipments from Prince when they toured together, used 'em to record "Street Songs", sent the equipments back to him with a thank you note

now whether this story is a fragment of this guy's imagination or not, is up for a debate.

rick james was definitely inspired by Prince when he made this.......

Teena Marie talked about that..She said most of the "rivalry" came from Rick feelin the comp from Prince kickin ass every night on that 1st tour

Pre-orders should come with a complimentary bag of glitter (blessed by Prince of course)
