The Truth About The Prince Vs Michael Jackson Feud

:yes::yes::yes: exactly. prince got stuff thats unreleased that would go to the top of the charts. i used to love prince music so much, that they used to call ME prince when i was younger. sure, prince releases a lot of noncommercial music, stuff that isnt a "hit', but that was done on purpose. he just releases SOOO MUCH music that the hits get lost in the mix.

Please, even the stuff Prince does release never goes on top the charts. When was the last time a Prince album debuted at #1, or had a number 1 single, fuck that a top 10 single.
 
this is off the top of his head prince shit did when he was a teenager, the first is "make it thru the storm", the second one is "wouldnt you love to love me?" the tune he tried to give to michael jackson. its the EASE at which he makes music that the music intellectual picks up on in prince music:

08 Make It Through The Storm.mp3 - 2.51MB

09 Wouldn_t You Love To Love Me-.mp3 - 4.60MB

late addition: "lovin cup", couldve been a hit on any prince album, another song he did before his first ever recording contract:

02 Lovin_ Cup.mp3 - 10.06MB
 
Dude you speaking off opinion, I'm speaking off fact. I hate Lil Wayne too, but guess what there are people out there who will say Wayne is better than Common. Like the old sang goes "Opinions are like assholes, and everybody has one." Just because you say Lil Wayne lyrics are wack don't mean they really are, it's just your opinion. Number are not opinion, they are fact. And if you read what I said earlier then you would stop using Lil Wayne for your argument. MJ is well out of the one hit wonder phase, he is proven. And if he released another album it would still outsale a Prince album. Even Invincible sold 10 MILLION:eek: copies to date. When was the last time Prince had a 10 million selling album if ever.

prince never sold ten million bruh:confused:


do u know purple rain is still selling
 
shut up niggah

cause i dont see no one moonwalking today or singing beat it

but i hear do hear dj's bumping princes ballads every night for the quiet hour

mj isnt on anyones rotation list today....period

hell mj couldnt turn out the sb the way prince did

and mj definetly cant go platinum today....like um....prince did 3 yrs ago


like i said, mj was the man for the 80's

prince has been timeless

prince still sell out shows breaking records and shit

you really cant compare the 2 in this decade

prince went platinum 3 years ago because he tied his album sales to his concert attendance..buying a concert ticket got you a cd which was linked to his other cd sales:rolleyes:

and are you saying that rock with you and human nature are dated and AREN'T played today??

You can look at the charts all you want. We can all agree MJ killed Prince on the charts, so stop that stupid argument. But like Prince said, he cant even be compared to MJ. Prince will go down as a musical LEGEND, with Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Hendrix, Elton John, Coltrane etc. MJ is an entertainer who sings, he's there with Madonna (who gets all the props from me), Britney Spears, and people like that.

Not to discredit prince but nothing he could ever do in his lifetime could ever top "Thriller",period.Now i you like prince more as an artist,cool,but dont make this a numbers or who had more hits and who wrote what and who has more money debate.

Come on now,put Micheals who history up against prince and its speaks for itself...

exactly, michael jackson HIMSELF knows this, mike STEALS legacies, because his ego will not let go of the fact that when history looks back, prince, the beatles, james brown, all of them are musical legends, mike was a vanilla ice compared to true musical legends. why you think he named his son, PRINCE? mike knows what he is doing, thats why he bought the beatles catalog, it wasnt just money, it was to take their legacy. stole all of james browns dances. hell, he wasnt even the best jackson brother at singing, jermaine's voice was better.

are u saying that 2 million people attended his shows on that tour:confused:

that album did go double platinum

as for your other comment

mj major hits are not played today

cats are still playing adore, diamonds and pearls, insatiable, purple rain, nothing compares 2 u, betcha by golly wow, scandalous

man i could do this shit forever

the music is timeless....u cant date it
 
Rod Temperton.

u beat me to it, Rod Temperton is the shyt!

Prince is a good artist but there is no comparison. It's like comparing a Benz to an honda Accord. both may have leather, sunroof, v6, and both are stable cars but at the end of the day 1 is much better. Michael being the Benz, that Benz may cause you some expensive maintenance but it's still much better. Michael has stayed in to trouble from the color change, to the prescription drugs to all the child allegations....but musically, there is no comparison.

Comparing Prince to Michael Jackson is like comparing apples to oranges. I think this whole rivaly thing is conveniant because they're both soft, sensitive black men and the same age with careers spanning the same generations. I don't think there would be much conflict in anyone if you asked them who they liked better. They are either die hard Prince fans or die hard Michael fans.


naw, michael been in the game muuuuuch longer. Michael was a kid in the game. Prince's life span as a chart topper was much more brief than michael as a solo artist. Prince's hits didn't sell anywhere near michael's shyt. Michael is a better singer, has way better ad lib's, better overall music arrangement, production, etc.........Prince made some hot shyt, that's the truth but you can't compare him to Michael other than all the sensitive funny acting shyt. It's like comparing jadakiss to jay z. jada is dope and might fk with jay if u put them alone in a room together but his work, album sales, longevity, and universal appeals don't add up. I'm not at all dissing prince, i love ALOT of his 80s shyt. Truthfully, i haven't been feeling his work over the past decade or so. Far as all that sexuality shyt, lol. If neither 1 was famous and ya'll were in a room with both of those mofo'z Prince would def. appear to be the gayest, lol, michael would appear as a strange weirdo. Like i said i luv alot of prince's 80s music but if he wasn't an entertainer mofo'z defending him as a heterosexual wouldn't be seen in public with dude.
 
you know whats TRULY funny about this whole michael jackson vs prince music thing. the TRUE comparison should be Prince vs Quincy Jones or Prince vs Rod Temperton, cause mike didnt write his music.:smh::smh::smh::smh::smh::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: case closed. quincy couldve make el debarge the thriller man, or keith sweat, etc. lol
 
mj major hits are not played today
But if you ask any ten year old child who prince is,I can bet you they wouldn't know but ask them if they knew Micheal Jackson is and your going to get an answer and maybe even a song or two.Thus meaning MJ will be around long because of the younger generation knowing who he is.


I just ask my nephew who happens to be 11yrs old and can sing songs from J5 to Marvin Gaye,who Prince was?(right now) and he said "Who the Prince of Nardia".But he knows MJ
 
Prince Won. Game, Blouses.

dude i respect your opinion

i even wore mj clothes as a teen

but then i woke up

i realized that one person sung and dance

then another person sung better, wrote his own his music, and played any instrument better than some of the greats did

oh yeah, it was also by ear

mj may have been the better entertainer
but prince is light years ahead of him as a musician

thats why prince can still sell out shows today and give you the greatest super bowl performance ever....in the rain

real music lasts forever
 
People saying MJ is anywhere near as talented as Prince know very little about music and have probably never picked up an instrument in their entire lives.

dude u cant be serious or youre making this up

10 yrs old see mj as a weirdo

Peace,

Correct!

I showed my Thriller album to my nephews and NONE of them (ages 7 to 12) even believed it was Michael Jackson on the cover. To them, he's a whitewashed tabloid freak.

Ignorance at its finest.

If MJ wouldn't have been in trouble I bet you some of you guys opinion's on MJ would be different.

I would think a 10 year old would think BOTH of them are pretty weird..:rolleyes:

and name a song a 10 year old would like that prince has done in the last 10 years???

WTF kind of 10 year olds do you hang around??

Why would I make it up? I didn't ask him his opinion of MJ I just know he knows who he is but when it comes to Prince he knows nothing about him.....NOTHING.

WTF kind of 10 year olds do you hang around??
He's actually 11 and he's exposed to that type of music and has been since he was born because my brother fucks around on the turntables.Everything from RunDMC to Frankie Beverly and Maze.

He plays the french Horn

dawg we love mike

what we're saying is that he wasnt as talented as prince

prince simply made better music

mike just had incredible cross-over appeal

prince was too damn sexual to sell his shit to 10 yr olds

thats why album sales dont mean shit

prince had his audience on lock and so did mj

but prince continues to sell while jacksons doesnt

real music doesnt die

did i ever say a 10 yr old knew princes music:rolleyes:

if you cant put my quotes in its proper context

dont quote me
 
And all 24 Prince albums combined hasn't sold more than Thriller. Take just Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous and those alone sold probably 10x's more than all 24 of Prince's albums. But again that don't matter:rolleyes:
Do you think Madonna is more talented than prince? She certainly has the record sales and international fame.

They know OF Prince but the point I was making was that Michael Jackson isn't a fixture amongst young kids.

WHO THE FUCK WANTS TO SELL MUSIC TO 10 YEARS??? other than miley cyrus and the jonas bros.

MJ was NEVER an act that was supposed to appeal to kids..if there was ever a downfall to his image musically it was him allowing people to put his image between grover and big bird..

and the song that did it was Man in the mirror... the second he started doing those love the world type songs is the second people started thinking his music was all ages when it never was.
 
Here are a few slower Prince tracks that he wrote for other people. The original Prince versions that are 100x better, but since you guys dont know Prince, he wont let any of his original music go on Youtube. I bet the Prince haters have never heard any of these.







And fine ass Apollonia

 
Not true, Most of MJ's biggest songs were songs created by him. Every song on BAD except 2 were written by MJ too. Billy Jean is written and produced by MJ. Yall dissing MJ cause of his weirdness and his thing for kids. Stick to the music and entertainment and MJ wins. I bet 99% of you either have/had a MJ album or know somebody who has his album, can't say the same for Prince.

Pretty much.........

Prince is still the shit though no doubt, but its pretty obvious that cats are letting MJ's personal problems influence their critique, which is pretty typical.
 
That is not the sole reason prince release more. Your argument is weak and based on nothing but opinon. Prince release more b/c he released more. Thats it.

MJ released less albums than Prince because he had MORE hits come off one album on average than Prince particularly from 80s on..

you may not remember but off the wall and especially thriller, bad and dangerous had damn near EVERY song be a hit. Thats most of the 80s and half the 90s right there..

Prince on average may score 1 or 2 hits off an album by comparison with exception of purple rain..
 
Peace,

I also want to make it clear that I'm not "arguing" against Michael Jackson. I dig his music and his incredible stage presence. But Prince is CLEARLY the better musician and writer of the two. And, as far as music sales go, "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em" sold more than "Sign O' The Times." Who here would argue that Hammer is better than Prince?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

dude youre one of those people that say shit just to say it

i mean this shit is just weak like most of your lame arguments

so when they were selling childens mj clothes in the early 80's, it was really made for midgets?

fall back dude
