We have a former NFL player turned media analyst to thank for proving it's not just Minnesotans that are extremely protective over the legend of Prince.

Ross Tucker, who used to play for teams including the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys and now plies his trade talking football for SiriusXM and The Athletic, stepped in it with a contentious comparison.

He told a listener to never compare Taylor Swift with Prince again, because T.Swift "has at least 10 songs better than any of his."



Oh, Ross...

He then went on to compare the number of No. 1 singles Swift had compared to Prince (9 to 5) to reinforce his point.

We should point out that "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed and "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback were both No. 1 hits.

Meanwhile Bruce Springsteen, James Brown and Bob Dylan have never had a No. 1 single, so we'd argue the Billboard chart is an inconsistent spectrum for determining musical quality.

Anyway, back to Tucker. Needless to say his controversial statement generate plenty of reaction among his 192,000 Twitter followers and many more who came across his account as a result of the furore.

I’m not interested nor do I respect his opinion.

 

[kirkout]

I am going to go ahead and classify what dude said as a racist statement.

This foolishness doesnt even warrant a response.

Another case,of another white person talking out of their ass just to get clicks.....either way fuck him.

[mcguyver]

He trying to fuck.

 

[4 Dimensional]

That’s like saying Tom Brady is better than Michael Jordan.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

His playlists is probably the same as his ole lady's. Probably a shared playlist.

 

[Knuckles666]

Grade A trolling!

 

[Coldchi]

cacs gone cac......even if it's just to be the topic whats trending for the moment.

 

[thundercat]

Some shit isn't even worth addressing. You just laugh and move on.

 

[World B Free]

Why do we value what a random white person has to say?

 

[DiGeneral]

Fucking pilgrim is trying to get that CTE settlement check.
No other explanation...

 

[VWchrisATL]

Fuck up, CAC....

 

[Princenubian]

I can honestly say that I can not name one song by said female.
Although I am sure I’ve heard her music.

It’s also safe to say that said male prefers that country western vibe.
I believe this is the vibe I got from her’

One thing that we can agree to is that Prince was a musical genius and
I will never live long enough to see someone this musically talented.

It is also insulting to compare a singer to a musical icon.

Carry on.......

If this is an example of his analytical skills, nothing he produces is worth shit. I want to be offended, but he looks too stupid to know better.

 

[LSN]

why you took my name out the title?

one star

 

[comment101]

Why is this an issue? It's his opinion. I think music from The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd suck compared to any song in Jay-z's "Reasonable Doubt". It's all about perspective. It's not necessarily racism. Everything should just be considered racist because a white people said it.

 

[c_commander]

If this isn't as simple as him CACing then he obviously is suffering from CTE.

 

[Dirtylakerie]

I suspect, he has cocaine in his system.

 

[Duece]

Kanye made this bitch popular.

 

[cashwhisperer]

Why do we value what a random white person has to say?

Exactly. Free yourself from cac thought as much as possible.

 

[g0nbad real bad]

Fuck Taylor swift there's less than 10 artist with 1 song as good as Purple Rain or Adore.

Another case,of another white person talking out of their ass just to get clicks.....either way fuck him.

one of the rare times it was so obviously f*cking stupid I couldn't bring my self to post it.

 

[ballscout1]

I suspect, he has cocaine in his system.
