Prince's female protege track record..how's he done?

Ralo Lawson said:
Here's a better question? Who had the funkiest song out of all his female proteges?

1.) Vanity "Nasty Girl" hands down!
2.) Sheila E "Erotic City"
3.) Appolonia "Sex Shooter" honorable mention
4.) Sheena Easton "Sugar Walls" honorable mention
5.) The Family "The Screams Of Passion" not a female act but that song was the shit!
6.) Mazzerati "100 Miles Per Hour". not a female act but that shit was banging too:lol:

Sheila was on erotic city?
I think you meant A Love Bizarre.
 
Ralo Lawson said:
Yeah bro! That's Sheila singing. "If we cannot make babies maybe we can make some time". "We can funk until the dawn making love til cherries gone".

If you are an artist, never ever ever ever sign with an artist who is still active

1. They don't want you to outshine them

2. They are too focused on their career to give yours the guidance it deserves

3. They will often thrive on your ignorance pilfering your songs because they think they could do it better...or just cause they want it.

There are far more fails from rookies signed to active artists' labels than hits by a long shot.

In popularity, and as a musical innovator.



But if it's so simple, then he should be able to master it. Truth is, good hip-hop isn't as easy to do as people make it out to be.

Is that an indictment on Prince of the simple-minded music "fans"

Look at the mofokrs who are popular today and think how many will be listened too in 20 years..

Hell the best rappers today are 50 years ol

Neither, imo. I'm just saying that hip-hop is a different approach to creating music than what a true composer and musician like Prince would know or even be interested in, especially considering that he was coming from a different generation. It took newer producers like New Jack pioneers such as Teddy Riley and hip-hop soul pioneers like DeVante and Chucky Thompson an Brian Alexander Morgan and others to integrate hip-hop into traditional understandings of music.
 
He did good since he was fucking them!!
As far as musically it was obvious that he was just giving them his leftover songs.
They all sounded like Prince cover bands

True all true.

Also that integration time was when Prince was battling the record companies

I meant the artist formerly known as Prince :D

The Rap Song That Changed Prince’s Views on Hip-Hop

Though Prince never released his cover of “Fight the Power,” he did enlist Public Enemy’s Chuck D for a vocal cameo on "Undisputed," a track recorded for the 1999 album Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic. The purple one would later record songs with Common and Eve, while also performing alongside rappers like Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar, further proving his eventual embrace of hip-hop.

Interesting. I doubt he respected it musically, though. He just began to understand the spirit and energy behind it.

I agree because they aren't for the most part musicians.

And those who he did appreciate lyrically are true lyricists but also social commentary in their lyrics.

You wanna talk about mad?

Prince was madder than a motherfucker that:

1) Jesse left & gained some success
2) Jesse was able to get to do a song with Sly Stone (Sly rejected Prince quite a few times)
3) That this song came out at all!

Being the passive-aggressive Gemini he is, he threatened to do a song with the same name of Jesse's album, Shockadelica...then went & recorded a song with that title as the B-side of "If I Was Your Girlfriend"...just to spite this dude.
