Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
Prince = Legend.
yeah, period.
he look like he had one every month.
that and new hoes.
BB$.
Work.
Play.
The greatest musician of all time, plain and simple.
Prince is a legend…but recognize you’ll will be, or whoever posted this, getting a “Cease and Desist” letter will be coming from Londel’s office. He don’t play that free shit for real.
This footage is not particularly rare. It (and more) is all on the bootlegged “Roadhouse Destiny” DVD which has been circulating amongst collectors for a few years now.
Now. find me the FULL version of the unreleased 1986 Prince song “Cosmic Day” (not just the clip) and I’ll be impressed :D
Also, agreed with this (as posted by Dan):
“The greatest musician of all time, plain and simple.”
Ain’t nobody even near Prince’s level.
Greatest of HIS time Yes…All time…I don’t know about that one. Marvin, Ray, Stevie were all Phenomenal…not trying to get into a major debate, just saying
Incredible.
I been watching this shit since yall posted…It probably will be gone soon cuz Prince is shortsighted and has shit removed…but this post is damn near the holy grail for a Prince fan…Thank you sir may we have another…Shit!
THIS NIGGA IS THE G.O.A.T.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MJ>>>>>>>Prince…juuuuust saying….but on da real MJ and Prince should have performed/sang on a song together…
Prince >>>>>> MJ
In Terms Of Musician Skill Playing Instruments Etc
MJ >>>>>Prince
Albums Thriller/Off The Wall Vs Purple Rain
Overall It Is Pretty Close But MJ >>>> Prince
Just Off Cultural Impact And Importance
LMAO I KNOW PRINCE DOESN’T KNOW THIS FOOTAGE IS ON YOUTUBE…THAT LIL NINJA DOESN’T LIKE NONE OF HIS MUSIC ON YOUTUBE!!!
EITHER HE DOESN’T KNOW OR THERE’S SOME KIND OF LOOPOLE FOR YOUTUBE TO KEEP IT ON THERE
fresh.
Black folk don’t like live music no mo. They happy with a shitty cd and some big speakers. Once car stereos got big, chicks stopped checking for the musician, she wants the driver. LOL
