>could compose music>could play instruments>didn't molest kids>wasn't gayPrince was WAY BETTER than Mike Jacksonhttps://youtu.be/l7vRSu_wsNc?list=RDGMEM6CZm14o9sc-Q22TIneLI8gVMl7vRSu_wsNc
MJ was a better entertainer.Prince was a better musician.
>molesthe earned those kids
I’ve had this stuck in my head for a few months https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o6I_ycxDqoI stopped listening to MJ when Corey Feldman said he was showing him pictures of dicks and shit so he could no longer defend him Fuck him
>>122465825I like Michael BECAUSE of the kids
Prince was truly terrible and he was a total dick. He had a song call funky mother fucker yet he wasn't funky whatsoever. James Brown was funky, this dude, nah
>>122465833
>>122465825He probably was a better person and for sure a better musician because MJ couldnt play shit. His only instrument was his voice, but having said that. His music was way better than Prince. Boring flamboyant crap while acting like a fukboi on stage. Guess black people like that shit
>wasn't gay
>>122466160>His music was way better than Princethe song i posted, raspberry beret, is a top 5 all time recorded piece of music. it's so much better than anything Mike "gay child molester" jackson ever put outit's fucking artand I liek Mike Jackson music honestly, but nothing he ever did is at the level of what I put in the OP. raspberry beret is a work of GENIUS
>>122466293>the song i posted, raspberry beret, is a top 5 all time recorded piece of musicok kid
>>122465825The great tragedy with Prince is that he was allowed to produce his own records - all his stuff is too quiet and sounds flat.I suppose I’m talking really about his use of the Linn Drum on those 80s albums. Just awful.
neither of those dudes compare to randy rhodes
>>122466293Raspberry Beret is top 5 gayest songs I’ve ever heard
>>122466293prince kinda blows, but of all his songs you pick raspberry beret? what a queer and terrible song. is little red corvette top 5 of all time too?
Prince is total groan zone lame dork
>>122465833Ya I agree. MJ better songwriter also.
Prince was ultimately a net positive for popular music because he made it ok to just do openly graphic sex songs without any subtelty or metaphor.
>>122468367that's something he acknowledged and backed out of though
>>122465825Both are mid. James Brown mops the floor with both of them
nothing comes close and never will

>>122465825Prince ruined any chance of growing a wider audience with his hatred for having his music on the internet until his death. I understand that being over-the-top was part of his character, but he turned into that character and was very off-putting except to people who were already huge fans. Fuck, the whole slavery schtick was enough to turn most people off him, music aside. It's no surprise MJ is much more universally known and loved. MJ comes off as a little boy, Prince as a little prick. Speaking on their music, Prince has a horribly dated sound. He was bull-headed and had to have everything his way. Despite working with so many musicians, he wasn't much of a collaborator and that reflects itself on his stale, albeit huge, discography. MJ was a hitmaker, Prince was a songwriter. This can be seen by the many hit songs Prince wrote but gave to other artists (Nothing Compares, Manic Monday, etc) that frankly wouldn't have been hits if he performed them. They're massively different artists, the only commonality being they're black twinks that existed in the same time frame.
>>122468879Michael Jackson had the first truly great superbowl performance they ever hadBut Prince has the greatest superbowl performance of all timeI feel this perfectly encapsulates their artistic legacies as well
>>122465845>Corey Feldman saidWho cares what that fruity schizo clown said? If you believe him you're nigger.

>>122470916why is all japanese music so fucking wordy? like they're always cramming 18 syllables into every second of music
>>122471078You are shitty Koreaboo.
>>122465825What even is that around his neck? Like a neck strap? weird piece of clothing
>>122468889Michael was every bit as much of a sociopath and egotist as Prince but he understood that he was performing for an audience and not just himself.
>>122469121Reliable narrator given Jackson called upon him to testify in his defense as an adult and he’s alive/sober with money unlike Jackson/the other Corey.
it's accurate to call Prince one of the first bedroom pop acts but like all bedroom pop acts he was self-indulgent as a motherfucker and it got worse with time.
>>122471310HIStory was pretty fucking self-indulgent since it was mostly just a lot of songs about the media being out to get him.
>>122471225>you criticized x therefore you are yhow's the paint today? tasty?
>still believing that MJ molested kidsngmi
Remember when his manlet self was seething because Sinead sang his song better than he ever could and had a massive hit with it? I like some of his music but he seems like a complete asshole

MJ has nothing on this https://youtu.be/oK1Jl8tLzls?si=AYQ1MTa8dFpSXjyj [Open]
>>122465825They had very little in common aside from being effeminate 80s pop stars, but I like Prince more.Thriller was a hell of an album with some of the most perfect pop songs of all time, but MJ never even got close to reaching that high again. Basically he had one brilliant album, maybe three decent ones and the rest is pretty lame honestly. Prince had a great run of at least a decade where everything he released was fire.
>>122471487nobody other than Sinead believed that happened though
>>122465825why was looking like a faggot the trend back then? did this start this whole gender dysphoria and sexuality issue we have now?
>>122473515yeah probably
>>122473515>why was looking like a faggot the trend back then?it was subversive>did this start this whole gender dysphoria and sexuality issue we have now?it's pretty incredible that you would even think that
>>122471487>Sinead sang his song better than he ever could and had a massive hit with it? It was always a song prince wrote for othershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZlzN0Gtpp8
>>122472087What's your top 5 prince albums
>>122465825Not music.
>>122465825The only good song from Prince was Purple Rain, everything else sucked. Sorry.
MJ earned those kids. Prince could never.
>>122475053Dirty mindSign o the times1999Purple rainParadeNo particular order, but I think I listen to Dirty Mind the most.
epic house hits are still being made based on prince songs... can't say the same for MJhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OxrSUJQyrwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HBufwT4NNA>>122471692yup fellow the beautiful ones chad here>>122468762oh yeah no doubt james had hits like "i feel good"... then there was "i feel good"... also loved "i feel good" >Speaking on their music, Prince has a horribly dated soundlmfao michael jackson's most loved song is don't stop 'til you get enough... which sounds 100% '70s motown dated as could be. same goes for ABC. that eddie van halen riff on thriller goes into the same category. beautiful instrumentally but VERY FUCKING DATED. that's some fuckin' money for nothing '80s guitar right there>MJ comes off as a little boyMJ came all over little boys. >the only commonality being they're black twinksif you were an honest person you'd admit that the following video fucking screams thriller right down to a leather jacket with rhinestones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tEvfIsDyo
>>122475255>lmfao michael jackson's most loved song is don't stop 'til you get enoughsurely michael jackson's most loved song is billie jean
>>122468905>Michael Jackson had the first truly great superbowl performance they ever hadMJ's SB was being goofed on like crazy back in the day. (Yes, I'm old enough to remember.) That shit was GARBAGE.
>>122468889>Prince has a horribly dated sound.It's more that Prince's sound was SO hyper-specific that it sounded like NOTHING else and if you aren't into that very specific sound then nothing can really change your mind. And the whole "Minneapolis sound" was VERY musically eccentric. It definitely has limited appeal.
>>122466160>His only instrument was his voicelet's hear you sing
a thread of MJ fans getting dunked on???
>>122465825Butchered every song he coveredJackson didn't>didn't molest kidsyou really think he never had P. Diddy type shit going on?He butchered every song he coveredJackson didn't
>>122466346retard you can't even spell his name right ahahahaha
>>122475255>epic house hits are still being made based on prince songs... can't say the same for MJAll the same every male R&B act since the 90s has just ripped MJ. Usher, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, etc.
>>122468905one of those things reaaaallllly doesn't belong in that photo lolno one outside the USA could even name three Usher songs
>>122466160When you have a voice like Michael Jackson or Art Garfunkel or Pavarotti you don't have to bother to do anything else.
>>122473760>it was subversiveinteresting>it's pretty incredible that you would even think thatwhy? this fashion was pretty big back then.
>>122477662it's incredible that you think prince dressing androgynous led to transgenderism.
>>122468889>whole slavery schtickQrd?
>>122465825All that mattered was James Brown's approval and he liked MJ best.
>>wasn't gay
>>122478991Prince got in a fight with his label, started releasing music under pseudonyms, and notoriously wrote "slave" on his forehead in protest of the legal shit.
>>122475053For YouGraffiti Bridgearound The world in a dayPurple RainSign
Prince is pervert cringe to me
there was this little period of me trying to listen Prince's albums as much as possible and then I just forgot about it, think I at least have listened to his must-listened albums, like they're okay ig but individually, none came close to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHhjk1kttNo and this came out when Prince kinda struggled with his music identity.
>>122471310>got worse with timeOk, but this is the great majority of pop acts.I see James Brown mentioned in this thread as the better funk artistand he has released more submediocre music than MJ and Prince combined.
>>122480999>t. zoomer
>>122481470That’s just how hipsters can feel cool
>>122475533Weird cope but ok>>122477150Sure, you can take the easy route when you lucked out on something. Reminds me of that old Bill Hicks bit. "Why read a book when you can just flip on the tv"?
