Who Had More Swag: Prince or MJ?

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

You mad cause it’s the truth.

MJ was a master imitator. If it wasn’t the moves he learned from James Brown and the ones he was literally taught by Jeffery Daniels - all his swag is GONE. Jeffery Daniels owns the moonwalk, not MJ

MJs swag was the product of imitation.

Dude ain’t even make his own music he had to have Quincy and an entire team of composers behind him just to make those manufactured hits

Prince on the other hand had his OWN swag and made his OWN music. He wins by default.

Prove me wrong, oh that’s right - you can’t.

Mike's biggest hit song Billie Jean was writte and produced by Mike. The demo version sounds same as the one quincy took full credit for.

And sorry but no one really cares about Jeffrey Daniel doing the moonwalk first. It's Mike's move.

Mike was far more involved in the creative process than people give him credit for.

And Prince was taking shyt from band members during jam sessions and taking credit for it.

came in to say close

but after seeing MJ dikk eating I had to vote Prince easily

MJ ruined his swag being a weirdo. Prince started swaggy and got more swaggy until the end... plus he was slapping bytches across dressers and shyt

Damn why you giving Prince a pity vote over folks choosing Michael

We are talking about swag and you’re just being a hater if you’re dancing since you’re young of course you are going to imitate what you see and influenced by Same with mc hammer. Just as MJ learned from James brown and incorporated break dancing.Chris brown learned from MJ and incorporating crumping (and popular dances), usher and Bobby brown. Genius . All prince’s records wasn’t some smash hit. . MJ wrote Billie Jean

its too close, that one dude didnt see purple rain and voted so I had to tip the scale back for Prince

I think MJ had bigger swaggy moments but his swag fell off terribly
where prince was pretty swaggy from 80' till the day he passed.
but MJ has easily the biggest moments like the superbowl shyt where he popped out and stood there forever while people went nuts
his outfits and videos were super saucy
even through the 90s with Do You Remember The Time
he swagged up LA and casually had giraffes and shyt with him

Prince had sauce from the start and strong armed warner brothers into building him a compound
had the baddest stable of broads and movies to match... Jimi Hendrix guitar swag, James brown stage presence
made people not look him in the eyes (other A list celebrities) was flying actresses in to bust them down at Paisley Park
He found and named Carmen Electra, told her to never remove her makeup because he didnt want to see her natural face
Finessed his entire record label and gave birth to Morris Day and The Time which is next level swaggy
Walked around with young bytches he mentored on deck who were dimes. His actual songwriting was next level that cant be compared in terms of swag levels


dude could play the panties off a piano or drums, bass, guitar etc
or just rip into a heavy metal, funk piece at the drop of a hat

Prince was more consistent with swag ... I feel like he was always born with it naturally
where MJ just had extremely good taste and direction and knew he was an icon and lived like a king
MJs weirdo moments lasted longer and were far worse than Prince's moments
even Prince in his worst eras was still pretty swagged out

Respect to Prince, but nikkas wasn’t trying to dress like him.

this aint nobody to this day dressing like him....and he was socially awkward...thats my man tho

 

[IllmaticDelta]

MJ had better on stage swag

Prince had better off stage swag

MJ had the better aura on and off stage though: people were passing out like they had just saw god when MJ appeared

 

[I love Latina women]

Prince

 

[Fresh]

MJ had more swag, not that Prince didn't have swag, but MJ swag was on another level, he was number one with swag

the only other person who had as much swag as Michael Jackson was Muhammad Ali

 

[shopthatwrecks]

prince the only person on earth to make little richard dress like a man... he had that boy looking like ac green

 

[Dave24]

MJ

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

MJ lost his swag when he had that bullshyt gold speedo outfit on the dangerous tour.
