Yeah he jacked his steez in that vid. But don't get it twisted, Prince emulated Rick first. Prince's first tour was opening for Rick. Prince used to steal his dance moves and if you listen to his early stuff was heavily influenced by Rick who was much bigger at that time. You gotta read Rick's book Confessions of a Super Freak. He goes in detail about his beef with him and basically called Prince a coon who wanted to be a white boy.
Nzinga why do you troll so hard? Damn fool we don't care about that shit you post. It's like you're that kat that's gay and everyone knows it but ignores it and you try to be extra because nobody comments on it. That's you all the fucking time on this board.
This.

This. I get tired of that mf trying to derail threads with his bullshit.Nzinga why do you troll so hard? Damn fool we don't care about that shit you post.

this is the bullshit that Prince haters love to repeat. The fact is, Prince drew inspiration from many artists, like James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton, Sly Stone, Carlos Santana. Anybody that actually listens to his music can clearly hear those influences. Rick James envied Prince's success.
and as far as the coon comment, AGAIN you don't know what you're talking about. Prince donated heavily to Marva Collins Westside Preparatory School in Chicago.

look at the first post again
Dude, I'm a huge Prince fan. I didn't call Prince a coon, Rick did!
Here's an excerpt from his book Confessions of A Super Freak:
"There was a record burning up the airwaves called "I Wanna Be Your Lover" by some cat named Prince. He played guitar, and everyone was telling me how a tour with me and him would be great. I bought his album and I really enjoyed it, especially "Sexy Dancer." I thought the kid was pretty funky. So I asked for the company to send me a video on him. I received the video and as I watched him I thought he reminded me a bit of myself, except he didn't move as much. I asked Prince to open up the Fire It Up tour.
Our first date was down south. I hadn't met Prince yet. In fact, the only thing I had heard about him was that he was shy. I had hoped he wasn't too shy, or he had no right being on the road with me, that's for sure.
When I walked in through the backstage entrance, Prince was sitting on his group's drums playing some bullshit beat. I sat down on our set where he could see me and began playing some serious shit. He looked over at me and just got his little ass up and walked away. That was my first victory.
I had a feeling this tour was going to be something else, but I had no idea. The first time I saw Prince and his band I felt sorry for him. Here's this little dude wearing hi-heels, playing this New Wave Rock & Roll, not moving or anything on stage, just standing there wearing a trench coat. Then at the end of his set he'd take off his trench coat and he'd be wearing little girl's bloomers. I just died. The guys in the audience just booed the poor thing to death.
The following weeks of the tour weren't very different from the opening date. Whenever I was on stage I'd see Prince on the side of the stage just staring and watching everything I did, like a kid in school. I'd walk over to him during a song and point my bass right in his face, grab my crotch, give him the finger and keep jammin'. He was remembering everything I did, like a computer.
I used to do all these tricks with the microphone-flip it, catch it backwards, you name it. It was a trademark of mine. I also used to do a lot of crowd chants. I'd have my hand on my ear while I called these funk chants to the audience. That was another trademark.
One day I walked into the auditorium, getting ready to go on, and I heard the crowd chanting loudly. I went to check it out. Here's Prince doing my chants. Not only that he was stalking the stage just like me, doing the funk sign, flipping the microphone and everything. The boy had stolen my whole show. I was pissed, and so was my band. This went on night after night, every show I'd see more of my own routine. It got to the point I couldn't do the stuff I had always done cuz Prince was doing it before I came on. It started to look like I was copying him.
Everyone know what was happening: his management , my management. The atmosphere backstage was not improved by the fact that Prince's band members were not on good terms with my band and my guys wanted to kick their asses. Prince's musicians would stick their noses in the air and not even acknowledge the Stone City Band, even if they were all standing together, waiting for the elevator. My band was the friendliest bunch of guys you ever wanted to meet. They were veterans; everyone liked them. Prince's group was a bunch of egotistical assholes who never even played on a record. The kid did it all; they were just hired players. On the road, you have to have camaraderie, because you are seeing the same people night after night. Prince's shitty attitude and the attitude of his band made it pretty hard some nights.
One day things almost blew up. I was pissed, my band was pissed, something had to be done. So my management and Prince's management got together, along with Prince and his band and me and my band to have it out once and for all. First, I met with Prince's manager and told him that if Prince any more of my show he was off the tour. Even his own manager agreed that Prince was stealing my show. Finally, we all met in Prince's room: Prince, me and our bands. My band, looking like six foot five Black Maasai Warriors with their braids and leather, sat at one end, while Prince's band, in their eyelashes and make-up, sat at the other. Prince's band was afraid, very afraid. Levi and the boys were ready to give an ass whipping. Prince sat on the bed and hardly said a word. He acted like a little bitch while his band and mine patched up their differences. After that confrontation, things went back to normal-me kicking his ass every night.
Soon after that episode there was a birthday party for me. prince came, he was sitting at a table with some people not drinking. I walked up to him, grabbed him by the back of his hair and poured cognac down his throat. He spit it out like a little bitch and I laughed and walked away. I loved fucking with him like that. Later on he would fuck with me, but for now, it was all about Rick James.
I always felt our competition was healthy, although I was jealous when he started getting big-more than jealous-I was pissed, because here was this little short ego'd out fucker who I had a feeling didn't like people of his own race and wanted to be white and taller. I was pissed because I felt his songs about incest with his sister and a lot of his stuff wasn't real, and it was dangerous for the race. A writer and recording artist has to be careful with what they write. We are obligated to at least be real. There have been enough motherfuckers running around talking about devil worship or gangster rap, whereas I always felt that black people had to be a little more concerned with the influence they had on younger generations. All the power he had became scary when you think of it being in his little fucked up hands. When he wrote "Controversy," "Am I black, Am I white, Am I straight, Am I gay?" me and my band would say "Who gives a fuck?" I never saw Prince hang with a brother or a sister. In fact his whole demeanor was like that of a short uppity white boy."
And another excerpt:
"Eddie Murphy had two movies under his belt and was quickly becoming America's Golden Boy. I had heard he wanted to get into singing and I read a Rolling Stone interview with Prince where Prince said Eddie wanted him to produce his record. I thought "Uh-oh, too bad for Eddie." The last thing he needed was to end up sounding like a sterile Prince clone.
Eddie and I had spoken a couple of times by phone and I'd found him extremely pleasant. His success had not gone to his head, which was the first thing I checked out. He still maintained his roots by surrounding himself with his family and loved ones, kind of like me and my band.
One day Eddie called me and asked me to produce him. I immediately asked what had happened to Prince. Eddie told me he'd met with Prince in LA and thought Prince was a faggot. I laughed asked him what he meant by that. He said Prince sat across from him at this meeting staring into his eyes, and a couple of times during the meeting he gave the impression he might be gay. I asked Eddie why it mattered. Eddie said he didn't want a faggot producing his record. He said once Prince quietly stared at him while putting his fingers in his drink and licking them. Eddie said when he saw that, he said "Fuck it."
That was the first time I heard of Eddie's phobia toward gays."
i'm still laughing at the pasta cut up in disney characters.... mike laughing at prince failures while eating goofy pasta is some straight comedic villain shitThis need to be a Charlie Murphy narration

What was Micheal going to do? Are you serious? If MJ said to release his brother they would have done it immediately. Reid and Baby face were not going to mess up working with MJ over Jermaine's contract
Getting a lead single or single from MJ was guaranteed numbers back then. The earning potential with MJ was 1000 times more than Jermaine. So if MJ said release his brother they would have.
mike prob wake up everyday throwing on some glitter slippers calling his maids asking to make smores pop tarts shaped like roger rabbit and jessica rabbit than call his butler like go get my fave tapes i need my usual morning motivation..nig be dipping his smores pop tart in a warm cup of milk laughing at a prince busting his ass on stage compilation tape
