This is as equally devastating as it was when we lost Michael Jackson seven years prior. Even though it's been years since the latter passed on, Prince on the other hand also helped define excellent 80s music that still reverberates in this current decade and will never fade away. Perhaps, he's now up there performing right alongside Michael singing a medley of both Purple Rain and Dirty Diana to millions up in those skies (since both songs pertain to the rock genre). Legend to the very end. Respect, sir, respect!
I am just as devastated as I was 3 months ago when Bowie died. I think Prince and David Bowie were very much of the same caliber. Both brilliantly talented musical geniuses. Ones we'll never see the likes of again. I would to think that David and Prince are jamming it up somewhere right now. ❤️ RIP David. RIP Prince. 😢
He is so softly spoken but had a voice that could hit some serious high notes. What an artist and song writer we have lost RIP Prince. What a legacy you leave us with
The record label owned the name Prince for a certain amount of years then he finally got it back once the contract was terminated.Poor Prince couldn't even use his name because those damn record labels and their contracts.Rest in Peace Prince a true legend.Check out my tribute to this musical genius on my RUclips channel.
He was abducted by aliens! They left a clone in his place. He's going to play the Star Lounge in the Andromeda galaxy with Elvis and Michael Jackson! ;)
He's probably dead but Adolf Hitler is still alive. He's a very old vampire who works in the entertainment industry. He's far from a household name but he's a highly respected artist. The surname Hitler literally means to abduct, affront, or abase. The US entertainment industry was founded by the KKK. Hitler kicked into gear to remind certain black celebs that they were free in name only. They were surrounded and their wealth wouldn't save them. I know Hitler's current identity. I'm familiar his m.o. because he's used it on me. In my case it was because I was a scholarly black. That and I'm his direct descendant from a previous alter ego. He's probably been around since the days of Atlantis. He's globetrotted from Egypt to Europe to America. He's played himself on film a couple of times. Every time he does a movie his character is some undead guy. And in some cases he plays royalty, which he actually is.
Prince was a beacon of pure talent in the often muddy world of pop music, his talent was vastly underrated or recognised, rest in peace Prince Rogers Nelson...57yrs
I wouldn't really call him underrated, but he definitely is unrecognized. He gets all the credit he deserves it's just that young people don't really know why he does they just know he's a legend.
I was humming one of his songs at work when a coworker came to me to tell me about his dead.... I thought for a sec he was joking, I grabbed my phone and searched for it.... and my heart started beating so fast I almost fainted... unbelievable, he was so talented and a genius, RIP Prince.... I love your music forever... ..
Prince walked to his own beat, his music was like nobody elses, his style was unique, and was a odd character. Always stood out and will be missed. R.I.P. my friend.
Prince Rogers aka Paisley Park aka Prince aka Genius if you ask me. The smoothest cat to ever wear purple. No Homo! Pure Genius he is Turning Heaven Up Even More with Angels Above.
Prince was an innovator who forged his own musical path and it worked tremendously well. This is such a great loss. Good night sweet Prince. Your purple reign has ended in this side. But what a glorious time we had. Now the world knows that "this is what it sounds like when doves cry.🕊😢🕊☔️☔️🕊
+Glenda Williams we both speak similar words. Sweet Prince, will live on through all of us. I'm over hear crying. I still can't believe it. First MJ, and now Prince. As I wrote on my FB page As of 4/21/16 Today the music has died. One of the greatest Artist and musician has gone to sleep. This is the day the doves cried. Sleep in Heavenly Peace Sweet Prince.
"I'm not.. I don't think in terms of fighting. I don't think you win anything by fighting. I'm the type of person who likes to look at things exactly the way they are." Prince Rest in peace from the middle east .
A real icon I place. you up there with the Michael Jackson Aretha Franklin James Brown & the Stevie Wonders of the world ETC ETC A real ICON RIP brother
When I heard of his passing, I was honestly in shock. Without a doubt one of the greatest talents to ever live. I hope Prince, MJ, and Whitney are working on something together up in heaven. Rest in peace Prince Rogers Nelson.
No one cares about your reaction and I bet you didn't regularly listen to his music or keep up with his life, so it doesn't really affect you. You are gaining no positive attention or public praise by sending your worthless condolences to stack on top of the millions of others vain attempts to seem like a good person. Get cancer.
Such amazing talent Prince, was. He will live on through all his fans. So soft spoken and polite. Yes, Sir No, Sir. You just don't find that these days. You will always be with me. RIP Sweet Prince.
R.I.H Prince......Today we celebrate you on your new journey. Iam sad because I wont get to see you anymore. But iam happy because you was a very enlightened and spiritual person and I know you will love the next phase alot better. Love you Prince....
Prince stop making albums under his name because the record label owned the rights to his name , that's why he started going by the artist formally known as in order to get copy rights to his later music. He told People he changed his name for other reasons but that was really the only reason .
There are other artists under contract who feel less oppressed. A lot of black artists, or white artists who culturally identify with blacks, are drugged and mind controlled. The entertainment industry as we know it was founded by the KKK. The only way out of slavery is death I'm afraid.
Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad Sometimes I wish that life was never ending But all good things they say, never last You will forever be missed, dear Prince
Prince was genious. I remember everyone was calling him a weirdo for changing hes name to symbol. *But it was purely to shake off the record labels and to take ownership of hes own masters*
He was just through. Fed up. A lot of people dismissed his 90's albums, but if you close yo' eyes and listen, you can really feel and connect to his spirit. Songs like: _Face Down_, _Dig U Better Dead_, _Had U_, _I Hate U_, _Solo_ and _Right the Wrong_ lay it all out on the line. All artists need to salute this man for speaking out about the industry and being paid fairly. Nobody wants to work, get paid peanuts and then turn around and fight to get paid peanuts in the end. #ripprince #myfavorite
Prince is timeless. His life really is eternal if you think about it.. Imagine all the millions of people, all around the planet tonight that are listening to Prince records as we speak at this very moment. Including myself.. Once a legend dies, that's when their life is truly and fully celebrated. Three of his albums are in the top three purchased albums right now because of his death. That man went out like a champion of life, young, but accomplished and successful and eternal.
MJ and many other artist had that problem, they all signed contracts before they understood the business of music and recording. Signing away their lives. He was smart though and figured out a way around it. He also was talking about illegal downloads and artist rights in the early 2000's before others even knew how the internet would cha
As usual and like with many great artists over the years just how great Prince really was, as a musician and an artist, will largely be recognised after his death. He wasn't just a pop star. He truly was a talented musician in every sense of the word. There were few instruments he couldn't play. R.I.P. Prince. Thanks for the memories.
I always thought prince should get a lot more respect in the music biz. He made so much music, apparently he has volumes yet to be released and wrote songs everyday. MJ was considered the king of pop. How would we classify Prince???
LOL, how he kept a straight face while spewing this bullshit is a true testament to acting. He did it to escape the labels who owned anything that was written behind his name and any alias related to it, he couldn't even change his name and get a way with it. HE came up with a symbol, indiscernible in any language so that the label couldn't claim ownership as his name or alias. RIP
I explained this but for those just tuning in. Aristotle who was Prince in this life. Changed his stage name to the Artist formerly known as Prince. So that residents from earth who enter into Isadore can easily find him. Aristotle has a 1:1 appointment book right now, so that he can share his portion of the story. This dates back to his soul match spouse not being able to enter into Isadore for twelve thousand years- we didnt have the court votes needed. Yes, we could have made her a resident right away but not without over 40-thousand residents lost to Satan as the court would have started gossiping.. There is a full story and Aristotle wants to share it 1:1.
When Aristtoles soul match was created, she had charecteristics but not much other codeing. We didnt spend additional time because Aristotle wanted to teach her in person. Life on earth, lifitng to the light and to Aristotle awaiting her matrimony in Isadore. I brought to court vote immediate residency on grounds of value that Aristtole brought to Isadore. And we didnt get the vote. Aristotle spent much time trying to guide her from ISadore so that she could hit excellence bar and gain direct enternace into Isadore but she was so young she could not interpet the thoughst correctly. It took until she aged to twelve-thousand years old before she finally met excellnce bar and got residency into Isadore.
This is as equally devastating as it was when we lost Michael Jackson seven years prior. Even though it's been years since the latter passed on, Prince on the other hand also helped define excellent 80s music that still reverberates in this current decade and will never fade away.

***** True and true. An even bigger legend compared to both MJ and Prince.
He is so softly spoken but had a voice that could hit some serious high notes. What an artist and song writer we have lost RIP Prince. What a legacy you leave us with
I find it weird that Larry King outlived prince. RIP to a legend
+Cassius Morris Larry has ties older than all of us.
Why is that weird? No one is limited their life plus Larry King was probably healthier
Quinn Alvarez Was it murder?

You're right!

They can even hire an actor to play the part. Dating sites do this, that's why you never meet!
+B. Eder interesting..
That's not true prince owned his own label and had full ownership of everything prince from the start

Well said!!! He didn’t want to put it out there because he knew the music industry. He moved militant and smart! 💯
There are other artists under contract who feel less oppressed. A lot of black artists, or white artists who culturally identify with blacks, are drugged and mind controlled. The entertainment industry as we know it was founded by the KKK. The only way out of slavery is death I'm afraid.
He will be dearly missed
Rip! Authentic and real!
Yes Sir, No Sir.
Lord he is SEXY...., rest well Prince
He isn't too sexy these days .. Guy had glitter in his hair !
Hahahahaha, he's SEXY TO ME ❤💋
