"You're either here to enlighten or discourage."
Never a truer word spoken! 👍🏻
💯
Matt Jalbert HEAR*** buddy
Interviewer digressed when Prince gave her an opportunity to explore and expand. She feared truth.
Wow .... amen to that!
1999, Prince said “soon we will be sampling music that has already been sampled” and in 2020 this holds true.
But the only problem is that sampling started to happen in the 90s too. Do you not know anything about music?
Go and do some research.
@@bigolebot,
I think what they meant to say was, "And to this day this holds true" or "And in 2020 this is still happening". I'm sure this person knows at least a few things about music, and I decided to ask because you sounded rude. 🙄
AN AWESOME TELL ALL VIDEO KIRK JOHNSON & THE FAMILY ruclips.net/video/b_wGoHZJjkk/видео.html
Prince was soo ahead of the time. He saw through the layers of what was going on and he knew..That's why he didn't want to be part of where society and the music were going to. Always unique, always loyal to his own principles and beliefs. You couldn't manipulate Prince, it was obvious. He had too strong personality to be manipulated by anything or anyone. That's why I respect (beside artistic side ofc) this man in a great deal.
@@bigolebot We were not sampling the samples then (at least not as we do today, minimally back then) , re-watch the video and re-read his comment. Whereas you were trying to teach him about music, I think you need to give yourself some lessons on humility, and kindness.
now THIS is why Prince is a legend to me. Dude was fearless and spoke the truth.
Exactly. Wise beyond his years. He saw right through the media.
Tahmar Gaither good. Speaker. Prince. , i. Agree. With. Prince. All. The. Way.
G. D. Yes. Prince. Did. I. Think. Prince. Is. Hugely. Awesome.
He refused to be manipulated by industry.
He barely talks?
Love his voice so calm.
so calm and very relaxing. so calm but yet so firm
It is. It's beautiful, too. Plus I wish he could've been more expressive with that voice.
I love his voice too! I can listen to him speak all day!
agreed, his voice is so beautiful, could listen to it all day man,
He sounds gay to me
Prince looks like a guy in the matrix in charge of underground armies you don't want to mess with
true he would have destroyed anyone and his path
Like an alpha wolf and he was one.
But he's so damn sweet, short, and cute. But he could dominate me anytime he wants.
Emily Rose 🥱🥱 weird
I Love I Like You Prince Favourite guitarist and singer
""Pretty soon we'll be sampling the sample that's already been sampled"- Classic
exactly what is happening today
If you think about it. “Anaconda” - Nicki Manaj.
It’s a sample of a sample.
"Pretty soon we'll be sampling the sample."
That's actually happened numerous times. Lol RIP
ON THE SAME YR THAT "Why tf you lying" BECAME A TREND‼
The "amen break".
Yes just think about the group Debarge. 80's band, all original music, they arranged, wrote & composed all their music & then here comes artist like Biggie, Tupac, Mary J Blige sampling Debarges work & now you have artist sampling Biggie, Tupac etc. We have arrived
ava maxs career
@@mariahyohannes Investigate the WITNESSES ruclips.net/video/e2_WqmgqKh4/видео.html
DAMN...he told the truth. No one can touch Prince or MJ.
And Whitney Houston.
And Mariah Carey
+Love85 Yeah! And many other great artists with their talents.
+:) xoxo . There are many others...I agree. But like you added about Whitney, Prince, MJ, Modonna, Whitney, and Mariah Carey owned the 80s and 90s. PRINCE and MJ tops my list.
+Love85 MJ was the best entertainer who had ever lived
and Prince was the best musician who had ever lived. Both of them are the genius legends which nobody will replace and Im proud that I had the opportunity to live in the same period of time like them...
This interviewer is exactly why the entrainment industry is how it is. All she was trying to do was to get him to name names and not just talk about the issue without having to specifically call someone out.
+Gretchen C i noticed that too
Johari L. Lol she proved his point of not mentioning any network but vh1(even though they're pretty much trash as well at least now). It was super uncomfortable to watch.
+Gretchen C I know right I wonder who this woman was.
+Gretchen C I know, she asked the most retarded questions. Its embarrassing.
Yup. She wasn’t slick and he knew exactly what she was doing lol
He was needed here on earth 😭🙏🏾😭
+Charde Loyala J. yea, I think you put that very well. I think that's at the core of some of the pain of his loss. we needed him here. he had integrity ... I feel sad
Without a doubt.
For what?
"You're either here to enlighten or discourage." - well said sir. Thanks for all the light you gave the world. RIP.
😅 He was a devil worshipper.
The first time I heard prince speak I was honestly surprised I wasn't expecting the amount of humbleness, intellectualism, uniqueness and a celebrity who actually got IT and seemed human, unlike the trashy musicians now, he was absolutely one of a kind and an amazing dude
Me too, I was too young to enjoy him in his prime and have recently discovered more about him as a person during quarantine and wow... his interviews are so profound. His speaking voice and aura are literally other worldly. What a gem, too precious to be here on this earth.
AMEN to your words. Absolutely same happened to me when I watched interview with him for the first time in an aim to get to ,,know''him as person beside the artistic side. I hold huge respect for this man.
Prince didn't ever try to be unique or different; he just was (in the best sense of the words). Man had more charm, aura, intelligence, authenticity and talents in one small finger than most people all together.
"You are here either to enlighten or discourage!" Love his words, thank you Prince! xo
His Voice 😍
His whole presence is ASMR.
"You are here to enlighten or to discourage."
I caught that too...luv it
+GraffitiPhysical Said the truth there, without naming names. Smart guy.
+Michael Yes....he sure did. I love the way he spoke he was so genuine he spoke from the heart.
Mrs. Mckay
Sweet person, you can tell.
Preach! It means you either like it or don't like it. That's it. Everyone has their own opinion ;D
"That's not what I'm talking about, I am just talking about the truth" Prince (LOL, I love this man)
prince was like an element in it's purest form. so intense, so rare, so potent, .... everyone thing and everyone else seems watered down... makes me feel sad to lose such a powerful and pure force
He's low-key Keanu Reeves and Thanos at the same time.
Charisma,beauty,creativity...He had it all!
When will we see artists of that kind again???
RIP to this great musician.
+A.E. E. I was going to say something like this but you said it so well.
perhaps in another lifetime 💫
There are no more left artists like that. All the Legends are gone. And what we are left with now..man, it's tragic. No joke.
@@melodyal3357 I disagree about all the legends are gone lol. Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Georges Clinton, Sly Stone, Nile Rodgers, Philip Bailey, Georges Benson all are very much alive. Janet and Madonna are his last peers tho since MJ, Whitney, Georges Michael and David Bowie are gone. Morris Day And The Time, Jimmy Jam and Terry Kewis, Teddy Riley, Babyface are still here living and making music too
No one quite like him, but every generation has a couple geniuses
Love how he diverted her question when she tried to get him to say a negative comment about other artist to get a headline out of it.
I couldn't be interviewing Prince I would be so speechless. The man look so beautiful.....I mean just sexy for no reason. I love the way he was biting on his fingertips and playing with his fingers.
+Lateshia Childs Adorable right? 😬 I love his gentle voice. Very soft spoken. I was watching another interview where Prince, was so respectful, saying no, sir and yes, sir. Just like some of the young ones in this day and age. I could listen to him talk all night.
agreed!!!!
If you watch the video where Damaris wakes him up and talks to him on the radio show? His morning voice is so sexy. You could get pregnant just by listening.
I know, right! He sure was the finest Man on the Planet, no doubt. Men of the world -- recognize!! LOL
Lateshia Childs I know right , wish I was those finger,he so beautiful it bring u to tears😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I love this dude - I can't believe how much I took him for granted -
Prince was so secure in his manhood. He was so talented and sexy!
"You're here to either enlighten, or discourage."
Thanks Prince, gone but never forgotten.
He's so gorgeous, he must have beautiful parents. R.I.P, beautiful one, we will always miss you.
Yeah we love u Prince
That voice, that hair, just everything about him is beautiful!!!
Prince was so much above the rest of the music scene. Nobody dared to cross Prince.
Amen! They respected him!
They could not hold a candle to him!
He indirectly called out Mtv while being on mtv lolllll 🤣
Prince is awesome lol absolutely correct
I just turned 38 years old in 2022, I still cannot believe that Prince, Whitney and Michael are gone!!! They were the first artists I listened to when I was a toddler.
All the legends gone. :'(
@@melodyal3357 Ummm I disagree about all the legends are gone lol. Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Georges Clinton, Sly Stone, Nile Rodgers, Philip Bailey, Georges Benson all are very much alive. Janet and Madonna are his last peers tho since MJ, Whitney, Georges Michael and David Bowie are gone. Morris Day And The Time, Jimmy Jam and Terry Kewis, Teddy Riley, Babyface are still here living and making music too
He’s so smart!!!!He listens carefully to a question, then answers very carefully, wisely and mature!!
Such a calming voice also!!!
He had the most sexy voice, & sexiest cocky walk!
Yes He absolutely did!!
but he is the Black david bowie
Prince was not the black David Bowie and that's an insult. He was influenced by Santana, James Brown, Sly Stone
Porsche Weaver he is, because Prince and David Bowie dress very different, and almost changing gimmick
alex kanyima There were other singers that did that before Bowie. Besides, Prince never said anything about being influenced by Bowie, and neither did those closest to him.
I love The way he was playing with his hands 😍😍😍😍😍 Imagine how soft his touch would be 😩😩😩😩🌹🌹🌹
Oh, it is. His hand movements were so satisfying ❤
Prince wasn’t just sexy, but he was very well spoken, articulate and extremely deep minded. He was the best of of both worlds 💜💜💜
His voice turns me on..... So calm yet aggressive in a way🤔
"You either are here to enlighten or discourage" ~Prince
He’s so right, music is not the same anymore R.I.P the legend ❤️
God, what a beauty!
I never cared much for Hollywood or celebrities, but I cried when I heard that this man died
His hair and skin is fuckin Splendid,Dam prince was just beautiful but so manly with it.
"The greatest of all Time" 🎼😎🌷🙏🙌🏼
I love what he stood for, Truth!
just can not believe he is no longer with us .....love this man!
Are you watching Prince videos ?? Thumbs up....
Thank you for the Music !
I think 2 Pac said only God can judge me,somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. Please.
every interview I've ever listened to of princes has made me realize that we really lost a great positive contributor to this world
just listen to his message, I have never heard any other Entertainer stand up as much as he does to what he believes in
Investigate the WITNESSES ruclips.net/video/e2_WqmgqKh4/видео.html
"you're either here to enlighten or discourage"
So accurate
Sampling IS out of hand. He was so telling the truth. I had to come find this video because I was listening to the radio today and I heard a sample of a previous sample that was sampled from the original and I just died laughing
Tell that to Flo Rida
Prince was soo stylish and smooth. He always looked good 24/7.
As always, what he said was on point.
I see Prince video, I press like.
me too
+Petar Štrok me too ... his purple reign!
me too.
same here!😄😎💜
Yes!
"sampling the sample" pretty prophetic. it's happening now.
HAA very true.
Been happening since the 90s. How old are you?
@@bigolebot in the 90’s it was just the sampling. Now it’s taking songs from the 90’s that were sampled and sampling them. Old enough to know music 😊
@@nosillaxoc
Yet what Prince was saying was strictly happening in the 90s before today.
Unlike you I'm actually old enough (a few years older than Prince actually) to remember how much the music industry had changed throughout the 90s. Prince, Donna Summer, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Bob Dylan all spoke about this.
Go figure little girl
@@bigolebot sure...okay 🙄
He was so damn handsome! I grew up with this mans music! He was such an amazing gift for the world. I so miss him and wish he was still here. I’ll love Prince until I die!
RIP the beautiful one I love you so much Prince ur music we live on forever and ever and u will always be my celebrity crush always and forever that will never change I know ur smiling down on me liking everything I'm saying about u it coming from my heart 😢
he had beautiful hands and lips
YEEESSS his hands look like smooth Shea butter. The look like they feel good
And a nice body, hair, and butt
You could tell he was a little nervous but he was so articulate and soft-spoken. I really love listening to him talk.
he must have been disgusted with the trash that MTV puts out now
yup."vh1 doesn't do that but other channels do" the shade
+Heather Jordan I said the same thing! the king of shade 🌴🌴🌴
Even looking down on the music today.
One of a kind! Sexy, talented, mysterious, I love, how unique he was. Prince I will miss you so much! We all will ♡ Rest in peace.
Prince, had such a Sweet & gentle voice. It still doesn't feel real. Sleep in peace Sweet Prince.
Facts..You're either here to enlighten or discourage. Facts 💪🏾 Thank You Prince!💯✊🏾
I don't believe the world realizes what an amazing human being it's lost. My heart bleeds...see you in heaven Sweet Prince! 💜
Prince was so aware. He's interesting and he was here to enlighten.
His voice is transcendent.
Prince was so honest and open with his lyrics.. he wrote the best songs ever.💜❤💜 miss him forever..😍
Prince had an incredible foresight and he was beautiful with it💜
he is the only one to own up to responsibility as far as I know to influencing poor things on children or people
His voice is so soothing. We are usually in a hurry to get nowhere fast, but he is slowing us down. All of us are here watching Prince's interviews back to back. All of a sudden it all makes sense. Damned man, I can't believe he's gone, but hold on now... Master P? It was Pac, Handsome! xx
He's clearly very spiritual and in tune with his higher self.
Prince shouted out vh1 on MTV! WHAT A FCKN BOSS!!!!!!
So beautiful, so profound. I love how she's trying to trap him and get him to drop names but he's not falling for it. We needed you but didn't deserve you, sweet Prince.
I think it was more along the lines of his wanting musicians to recognize the goodness in themselves and not paint those bands with a broad brush. A challenge for all of us to do better. Prince was much more deep than any of us realized.
@@MNBluestater she's trying to get him to drop names and he refuses to do so. I'm not speculating on his motives for refusing to finger point.
OMG!!!! that voice❤❤❤❤❤❤❤him
GREAT interview. First: He looks cool as #*%^#@ ;-) . Second: He admits feeling responsible as an artist for presumably putting out songs that trigger negative behaviors in certain listeners. That's some bold honesty. This is one of many reasons why I appreciated him as a person, not just an artist or 'rock star.' I loved him for exercising his conscience, and speaking out on matters of human suffering, racism, sexism, conflict and peace. That resonated with me early on when I started to really focus on him in the early 80s. Every interview with him, I always came away a little more enlightened. That was a deep brother and if you were paying attention when he spoke, you could always come away with something meaningful to ponder.
And here we are, sampling samples 20 years later.
Right straight from the man himself. Completely understandable what he's referring to. Most of today's music sucks ass! Prince was a very talented and intelligent man. He will be surely missed.
he looks like blade ready to kill these negative vampiric negative music influences.
Underrated comment lol
His voice is so soothing
“You either here to enlighten or discourage “. Guess which Prince was doing and then guess which the interviewer was doing ? RIP To a Master
Every word he said is still completely true to this day, we’ll never have another beautiful soul like Prince, wish he was still here
I love the way he wore his hair 💜💜💜
Miss him so much! Music will never be the same without him. :(
I believe Prince you have always trumped the King! Truth, Intelligence and Funny--- One Prince
You will live 4-Eva in my heart, Thank You God!
Stop tryna get him to talk about something he ain't talking about. He kept coming back at her. He is amazing♡
his presence is still here.
How right he is. I love this man LOTS!
+Karen Keeling ~ as a Mom to 6 kids, his projection enhanced the look of the times, 80's...I thought he represented the "androgynous" look as I dressed, (much of my work revolved in male dominated environments-had to fit clothing style to sensible safety factors, but still look female); children's friends appreciated critic when they'd ape the then rock scene dressing & wondered why I was into Prince...I'd say his style is me...his perception is in his movement, in the lyrics...I compare him to none...love him!
Same! :-)
@@TAWilliams01 I dated a guy for a couple of years who was his double. He dressed like him too. The only difference was he was a foot taller than Prince. We went to our first concert together and I just loved his style. Cropped tops and all. He used to steal my eyeliner 😆 🤣 I loved the 80's
Plain and simple, the dude was just too f'n cool. The term, "one of a kind", doesn't even come close.
still here 5/2020...this is VERRRRY difficult to watch, especially knowing how he felt about MUSIC, being a TRUE HUMANITARIAN, his consciousness about GOD.....and NOW (we) all face some REAL self analyzing questions about the CORE OF OUR BEING...who and what are we made of
...anyone that knows me, knows that I miss PRINCE
A legendary musician, force,& Friend who will be missed! DW
VH1 one of the main ones pumping out the BS now a days smdh. Man all of what rap is now a days is lying about everything and talk about killing somebody. few real artist left in that genre. Princes encourages me to live in the truth and take responsibility for the impact I have on others. Thank you💜
+Priscilla Walker There are many great rappers around, especially Christian rappers like Lecrae. They just don't get the airtime, for obvious reasons.
Tupac was the one who said Only God Can Judge Me. In his All Eyez On Me album. R.I.P Prince. Him and MJ I miss dearly.
Man times have changed, now all VH1 shows is primarily junk
lhamilt VH1 still plays music?
Prince how he described sexuality was legendary. This is what I like about him. His sexuality and sensuality in music turns me on and I don't care what people say about it.
The most gorgeous sexy man in the world, larwd have mercy and then that voice oh larwd!!! no one will ever compare 😍😘❤️
This guy was a master fidgeter.
+Atacama Humanoid The defense mechanism of the very shy and wary. I know it well.
And it's cute
Prince is so intelligent and enlightening. He is absolutely correct and amazing.
We love and miss u Prince
No we don't.
Prince looks so good in all black I love the shades
Good God. He was the sexiest man on the planet. Ever
omg he so gorgeous rip in peace my love
Brilliant guy. Rest in peace.
I really like his look in this interview. He's totally 🎸 it.
So nobody gonna mention he said Master P instead of Tupac?
R.I.P. the legends
Prince & 2Pac
Exactly
