>*4/4 linn drum machine stock beat starts up*>*the driest ugliest brittle guitar tone you've ever heard in your fucking life starts up*>*song goes on for 8 minutes*>*no hook for any of it*>*song abruptly ends*and people say he's better than MJ? LOL!
>>123646792I'm about to give you a rusty hook
>>123646792No one says he's better than MJ. They were very different acts. Prince was a soul music session while MJ was an all-around show. You not liking him won't make his work any less recognized.
>>123646792When doves cry is one of the worst songs ever made
>>123646792What’s wrong with 4/4? Normies don’t give a shit or have the ability to appreciate odd times. Prince is a pop act and focused on musicality over impressing other musicians.

>>123649975And why does that old fart's opinion matter? Critics are wrong 99% of the time.
>>123649975Scaruffi likes to hate on MJ and completely unsurprisingly claims that after he stopped working with Quincy Jones he fell off. Scaruffi loves genre conventions, he wouldn’t recognize artistry if it bit him in the ass.

>>123649498>I Would Die 4 UUnironically a contender for worst song of the 80s
>>123647588The lyrics are so incredibly stilted, strained, and heavy-handed. And very stupid people praise them.

>>123646792>intt bitter, dead inside zoomerslol. you are all fucking retarded
>>123647294>No one says he's better than MJHeard it many times, even Chris Rock said it. But people are stupid. Watch that While My Guitar Gently Weeps video where he does that solo. Just basic licks but if you read the comments, its the best shit ever made. Guess people like boring stuff
I wonder if Prince ever realized how much success he missed out on by not writing more songs in 7/4 and using obscure Soviet era drum machines on some of his tracks
>>123647588Fucking hate Prince, but Doves Cry i do kinda like. Maybe because this was the first version i heard of that song. https://youtu.be/gZSsiePvPRc?si=3T71x8GFhjuMDbCX&t=132
>>123653972>how much success he missed out on>worth $200 million when he diedI doubt he was very concerned lol
>>123651012>plebtakeits a great song. Catchy and very singable. DARLING IF YOU WANT ME TO...
prince threads are the best. look at all these morons outing themselves as musical brainlets.
one time on Reddit I said I didn't really like listening to Prince because I felt most of his tracks sound dated. I was bombarded with faggots telling me UHHH AKSHUALLY PRINCE PLAYED 27 INSTRUMENTS ON HIS FIRST ALBUM SO NO HE IS THE BEST ARTIST. In real life, the only people I know that listen to Prince are black Gen Xers and flamboyantly queer white men. And even those days don't really listen to Prince, they just know a few of his hits. No one would carE about this gay Nigger if he didn't OD.
>be prince>be a half black during a time when music is devided for black and white audiances>play a shit ton of instruments and produce all your music>start intense genreblending while incorporating aspects of music and fashion that would become trends for the next decades>drop the most memorable soundtrack album and film out of any other musician>keep dropping music consistently until your death, most of which highly rated and well regarded>somehow manage to captivate a shared audience between rock, r&b, hiphop and funk fans alike for years to come>wait, you can't be prince, kek
I was really hyped to get into Prince from what I'd read then everything I heard was gay sex moans over Casio chord pads and synth bass
>>123656320>everything I heard was gay sex moansprojection? He wasnt gay...unless you think all sex is gay which means your an inceltry this. no sex moanshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FUkqlyLShE
>>123656347this is gay as fuck
