Prince of going to hell fast is all this demon infested blasphemer is. Anyone who gives their soul to Satan can be given skills. It’s cheating like using steroids.
vearzany buggs The Bible does tell us not to judge, you are certainly right. But the Bible also tells us to judge when Jesus taught we can tell (judge) a tree by its fruit. And why do you get to judge me in saying what I am doing is against the Bible? So you don’t have to follow your interpretation the Bible about judging, but I do? You do know the Bible has more verses; I hope that’s not the only one you enjoy quoting. Come on, Buggs, only a fool has no discernment and to discern is to judge. Prince produced the rotten fruit of sin, blasphemy, fornication, hatred, pride, arrogance, godlessness, perversion, and folly. No good fruit. Do not follow such a horrible example or you will certainly be with Prince the Possessed forever, my friend.
@@thebrand5184 He was playing multiple instruments in high school and had musical "genes" so to speak, so are you saying he sold his sold to satan before he was even an adult?
I'm a lifelong musician, a fan of Prince, but not a huge fan. I've always said that Prince is one of the greatest pop song writers of all time. His song structure, modality, tone color and melody were brilliantly layered and assembled. He doesn't get the credit he deserves in many areas of his musicianship, but he is truly one of the greats. Raspberry beret will always have a special place in my heart. Purple Rain is a lesson in song writing on its own. Long Live The Prince!
TheLacedaemonian300 True, a Mozart like talent. I often wonder what life would’ve been like if he grew up in Vienna, London or New York? If he’d gone to a conservatory on a scholarship, how different would he have been. How different the world would’ve been? We’ll never know.
Music Dominant fun fact. It isn’t about where you born or environment that defines or creates an artist. Some simply are born With talent. Everyone can be great at something, but few has the talent.
@amanda miller I used the term song writer, because from personal experience some people confuse the word composer with conductor, or with a person that arranges a piece. Everyone knows what a song writer is. My original comment sounded arrogant enough by my using certain musician or "composer" terminology. My comment came from the heart. There will always be that prick that has to find a way to one-up a comment, or try finding something minuscule that adds little to no value to critique in order to make themselves look better than they are. Guess who that person is in this case? You guessed it!! Take the com out of composer, and that's what you are. Have a wonderful day, everyone but Amanda Miller!
Prince has written some of my favourite songs, and some songs that I just didn't care for... But speaking as a multi-instrumentalist, I am IN AWE of his talent. I have seen him play a "bass battle" with his session bassist at the time (might have been Ida Nielsen, but I think it was Nik West - either way an astonishingly good bass player!) and I wouldn't say he was quite as good as them, but considering the bass player had devoted their entire life to the instrument and for Prince it was just something he played every now and then as needed for composition or fun... damn. That guy could play. And he wasn't just using guitar techniques on bass, he was using "proper" electric bass technique, and executing it pretty much flawlessly. Just a legendary musician. Chronically under-rated - when you look at multi-instrumentalist musicians, VERY few come close to his level of proficiency.
Prince recorded at Larabee studios for awhile in the early 90s, where my husband worked as an engineer and I worked the desk up front sometimes. He was a very intense and brilliant artist. He would go into the studio early in the day, and work around the clock. He had Paisley Park then, but I guess had business in LA or had agreed to use the studio or something. He was always completely dressed up as if for a event, even in the studios, which was kind of unusual sometimes. I don't think he was ever not PRINCE. It was his shield. People were scared to death of him, but I never heard of him being rude to people, he just had a lot of power and his talent for writing hit song for other artists was unbelievable...
Ive heard of him being rude PLENTY to people, in fact he was famous for it......Michael Imperioli(Christopher:The Sopranos) was once kicked out of a party by his two huge bodyguards for simply LOOKING at prince. I guess they made eye contact for a brief moment and Michael was kind of starstruck and wanted to say hello. Prince quickly turned his head away like a toddler and promptly ordered his bodyguards to remove Mr. Imperioli from the VIP section. He was all dressed up in some weird outfit as was everyone he was with, as he had obviously dressed them.. Obviously he had COMPLETELY lost touch with reality.
Danny Moorad Dude, what in the seven hells are you rambling about?! Also, it would benefit you to learn correct grammar & punctuation before going on a rant that says alot but makes zero sense. There’s plenty of stories about Prince being a pretentious a**hole. He was kind of known for that, but got away with it because he was a musical genius.
@@jakejakec5977 I don't think, personally, that Prince was rude. I saw him a lot, and he was always quiet and soft spoken, even when asking for a favor. He never had huge bodyguards unless he was going out, because so many people stalked him, threatened him and wanted to meet him. I know that there are a lot of people who probably felt insulted because he didn't want to talk to them, but he was very used to being stared at, and just ignored it. He and his entourage always dressed up when going out, because they were always on show out in public. If they didn't, they would never hear the end of how they "didn't make an effort", or "looked terrible in real life". I was around a ton of big stars in the 90s, and you cannot imagine the horrendous things the average person would walk up and say to them. Most people just blurt out unbelievably rude opinions on the famous persons looks, clothes, life, partners and choices. It gets old, so stars are forced to keep a distance. They are also always being stalked by unbalanced persons, which they try to keep quiet about, because stalkers LOVE to think that they are noticed and talked about. If some guy was too close and staring obsessively at Prince, want them to leave before they did anything scary. It's so easy to judge if you weren't there, but you can't imagine the awful crap they have to endure all the time. I was interested in show business when I started there, but I very quickly decided that the life, if you are successful at all, is awful, constricting and dangerous. You are never really alone, or safe. I just don't see how anyone could stand it...
In the "Andy Warhol Diaries," Warhol talks about going to a Prince concert and the after-party. Warhol was impressed with how polite Prince was, personally greeting every guest and thanking them for coming. Warhol's driver was a big Prince fan so Warhol brought him along--it was a high point of his life that Prince spoke to him, thanked him, called him by name and shook his hand. Maybe Prince changed later when he became more famous, but I'd like to think not.
I cannot even imagine what it must be like for you people in Minneapolis losing a musical magician with no peer like Prince...the loss of a genius of that magnitude surely must leave a energy void that one could almost touch....but our eternal thanks to your city for producing & sharing such an amazing artist that gave us - and still does - so much joy....
@@richardpotter6313 the area effected by the riots was actually a very small portion of the city lol. It's really sad too, the area that was effected was a shithole before, now it will almost certainly stay a shithole for decades.
@@matth8924 Yeah, with no AutoZone, shoe store and other much needed small businesses. It'll be like Detroit. Then what'll happen is the jes order aka 'da church' will buy up the entire neighborhood for nothing , revamp it , rent it out and wax even richer. Alwhile still retaining ownership. It's been happening for eons.
I can never understand why people say things like that. In what conceivable way was he underrated? Underrated by whom? Virtually any qualified critic of popular music of the era acknowledges as one of the greatest guitarists of all. Any musician of the time would say the same thing. If the general public don't instantly equate Prince with "great guitarist" it's because that was only part of his genius. He was also a great singer, songwriter, performer, producer. Is there anyone familiar with his music who says he wasn't also great on the guitar? Sure, there are some, probably here in this thread even, who will put him down because it inflates their own ego to trash someone whom everyone else admires. Their opinions don't count. Among those whose opinions are worth listening to, Prince could hardly be more highly rated.
Prince played under the influence of demons. Anyone could do that if they also worshipped Satan and were possessed. The little music man also allegedly had magical powers and was seen levitating more than once. Don’t pay any attention to this horrible person with his childish songs of perversion and delusion. Spend your precious time with Jesus, the only real Prince, and repent or you will end up with the 20-instrument demonic virtuoso tortured beyond your wildest imagination for all eternity... please!
@Nudist Trump There is no cure for that syndrome. The baby had type 2 and it's almost alwayw fatal. It's genetic disease. That refers to first child, I don't know about the second.
Nudist Trump, Dominick is right. Amiir’s genetic disorder was not something you could cure. I don’t know if his Pfeiffer’s Syndrome was Type 2 or Type 3, but both involve neurodevelopmental disorder and early death. So it wasn’t a matter of his ego, it’s that there was literally nothing that could be done. And in 1996, the disorder had only been medically identified and recognized for 32 years. I live in the Twin Cities and when Amiir’s death made the local news, we all mourned with them. He did a lot locally that he didn’t brag about. He was good man and the depth of mourning we all felt when he died 4 years ago was very real.
This is what Mayte said: “They brought the baby over to us. He was curled on his side, gasping shallow little gulps of air. Because there were no lids to blink, his eyes looked startled and dry. I caught hold of his tiny hand, saying over and over, ‘Mama loves you, Mama’s here.” There was nothing the doctors could do in his case.
You're definitely right about his range. But he didn't stick to pop.. pop stuck to him. There's signs of his diverse musical range early on but definitely started to go in different directions after Purple Rain
Now demon-possessed Prince is Owned by the demons he served, which he and all who honor him will have to suffer for all eternity. Repent and promote Jesus instead, the real eternal Prince and King of all.
@@thebrand5184 wasn't he a devout Jehovah witness? The pain medication is the only thing I can find that he did that wasn't in guidance with his religion. THAT DEMON BACK PAIN BE GONE! But nope.
This Guy Hey friend. JW’s reject Jesus. He might as well been devout as a Jewish, Muslim, or a Satanist subscriber. Without living for Jesus, and promoting Jesus as Savior a person cannot go to heaven where Jesus is King. Get to know Jesus better by fervent prayer and studying of the Scriptures, then you will find yourself accepted by the Creator of music and every other good gift from above. I will pray for you, my friend, and hope to see you in heaven.
That Super Bowl performance (as well as the game surrounding it) will always be near and dear to my heart. Purple Rain in that downpour was incredible.
I love that the producer of that show called Prince earlier in the day and asked if he was going to be OK with the rain, if he needed anything. Prince said "Can you make it rain harder?"
PRINCE was magic, true magic surrounded by unconditional love. thanks Simon. although I am sitting here crying over his loss to humanity, i am grateful that i had the opportunity to see him perform live nine times, yes nine. he was breathtaking to watch and hear and his devilish smile and eyes - my god they made all of our eggs ripen and drop collectively. No one got out of those concerts alive and the same as when they entered. Magician. Sorcerer. Mage. Druid. Magnificent. There was one and never will be another Prince Rogers Nelson.
I have never known so much about Prince before this video. I know his essential hits, but now I suddenly find myself respecting and even admiring this prolific writer. I prefer artists who write their own stuff.
I transplanted to St. Paul in ‘79 while in high school. In college, friends started talking about First Ave and seeing him there. All these years later and I’ve still never been there. I actually thought about going to the vigil there after he died. Still rather surreal. He made a hell of an impact on music.
“Everbody has their own experience. That’s why we are here, to learn, to go down those paths and eventually you may have gone down so many paths and learned so much that you don’t have to come back” Prince
Don’t forget martika he wrote her entire album martika’s kitchen. Apparently he recorded Kim basinger moaning during a sex session and used it on his batman album lemon crush.
I'm from Minneapolis and spent a summer driving his band back and forth from the hotel to Paisley Park. Such great people and amazing musicians. Never met the man but he waved at me after dropping them off. For this 20 year old, it was amazing!!!
He has been my idol since I was 9 years old in 1983. I was known at school as “that girl who loves Prince”. When he died it was like losing part of my identity. Thanks for this.💜💜💜
I was in line at a pearl jam concert in Columbia, SC when I heard about princes death. Shocking doesn't even come close to describing the feeling. One of the top 2 greatest guitar player/musicians that ever lived. RIP
I remember reading an article where Nas talked about a time he asked Prince to collab and Prince told him get his masters first and that doubled my already high respect for him and his music
I saw Prince live in 2011 in Budapest for a four hour gig with a break in the middle. Some of the audience weren't aware it would last four hours, and there was still more to come when the break hit. So after returning to the stage Prince joked: "Did you think it was over? Do you know how many hits I've got?"
A good friend of my father grew up in Minneapolis, a musician in his own right. He said that even before Prince ever cut a hit record, the guy could play the hell outta a guitar...
Thank you so much for this video! Being from Minnesota I can tell you that he's viewed by us Minnesotans as the absolute best that music has to offer this world! Most of us still believe that he's not appreciated enough for how exceptional he truly was. This video started my day off wonderfully! Thank you.
I lived 1/2 mile from Paisley Park, there was always a line out the door at weird hours for concerts he'd hold at the drop of a hat. Interesting place. Had a few car chases with the cops in his yellow corvette. Buddy of mine is in one of his videos
He once described himself like Mozart. Mozart said that his music was fully written in his head and that he just transcribed it. There’s no question that he was a musical genius.
Prince broke racial barriers, the rules of gender specific clothing, and celebrated femininity in straight black men. That's why I loved him so much!!!!!! RIP
He's was a HUGE part of my childhood...🎶Party like it's 1999🎶.. 🎶Little Red Corvette🎶. BEAUTIFUL,TALENTED (more than a LOT of musicians) Charismatic,Intelligent...never will be another man like Prince. RIP💜🙏
When I saw the thumbnail for this video my immediate thought was, "Oh f*ck yeah, Biographics did a video on Prince!" *click* By the way, Biographics, "May his reign be forever purple." Nicely stated.
I worked at a record store when Prince passed. Within two hours of the news breaking, we completely sold out of EVERY Prince album we had, new and used, CD and vinyl. My boss said the only time comparable to that was when Michael Jackson died. We were out of Prince albums for MONTHS, because all of our distributors were out of Prince. People literally bought every single Prince album from all major distributors. Gotta say though, working at that record store is what introduced me to Prince and my recent love for him. I always knew him but I'd never actually listened until my coworkers played him in the store. Fortunately, Prince had hours upon hours of unreleased and demo material, so we'll be getting Prince albums for years to come! Incredible talent and big heart, he was taken much too soon.
He wasn't "taken much too soon", he was a pathetic narcotic junkie who killed himself on Fentanyl. Fentanyl is approximately fifty times stronger than heroin. He had had pain problems from his feet which he injured by repeatedly jumping off speakers and risers in his live concerts. Just like every very successful musician for which everything comes too easy, he had too much free time on his hands, and we all know what the devil does with idle hands.
Do note Prince is an American had surgery was prescribed pain meds. American health system doctors get paid to push pharmaceutical drugs of their patients by the pharmaceutical companies. And get paid good money. When government regulations FDA approved and so forth is to keep the patient on a drug for this span of time and ween off under doctors care. If a patient isn't taking the drug or a lower dosage of the drug no more money for that doctor. So they keep the patient of the drug far more longer than the health approved regulations for the drug writing excuses in their report. Those drugs are powerful they get you hooked make you sick if you come off of them. Do you think someone takes a pain med and stop taking it and boom they are okay? Then on top of that you have a doctor with a medical license acting like a drug dealer pushing deadly drugs onto their patients so they can pocket money. Prince was in pain. His ankles/hips. He goes to the doctors asking for help and its his fault?
As a Twin Cities native with a cousin 10 yrs my senior nextdoor, I grew up surrounded by his his music throughout the 80s. First Ave is just as freaking amazing as it seems in Purple Rain. There's currently an amazing exhibit at the MN Historical Society where he heavily features. He was absolutely devoted to his hometown & we loved him back. I know more than one person who opened their front door to find him proselytizing for the Jehovah Witnesses. Apparently he was genuinely nice & soft spoken. PS- Paisley Park isn't in Minneapolis. It's in Chanhassen.
I've been in love with Prince since I was 10. I still can't believe he's gone from this earth but I feel so privileged to be alive the same time he was.
Prince died my senior year at the University of Minnesota. Before that I resented Minneapolis considering it a cesspool without culture, and then all at once the entire city went into mourning. Every light in the city that could change color was set to purple for weeks. Artists from all over the world were performing free tributes to Prince at Paisley Park. I once got on a LRT train and everyone was singing _When Doves Cry._ Prince really did go out of his way to put Minneapolis on the map as a cultural center, spending millions on local talent in numerous arts. It was bittersweet because I realized that Minneapolis actually did have culture ...and it had just died. RIP, man!
He did father a child who sadly died only days after birth. Was kind of shocked that this was overlooked here. I think it's sad that we have to lose someone or come very close to it before we truly realize the value that person brings to our lives. I will always be so grateful for growing up as a teenager in the late 80s & experiencing Prince's musical career as it unfolded. I was in awe of him then & continue to be to this day. I wish he was able to spend more time among us, but still so grateful for the time he was here. How ironic that he would write a song with a title, "Nothing compares to you" because that's exactly what I think of when he comes to mind. Rest in peace, Prince.💜💜💜
I just want to point out as someone from Minneapolis, how rare it was that he came out of this city. People here are usually less likely to do big and bombastic things, because that will get you the most disapproving side eye. People from Minnesota don't dance or openly flaunt their sexuality. Heck, we barely even make eye contact. Prince was always 100% himself though. Even when he was a Jehovah's Witness, he still stayed true to himself, and that is the most inspiring thing about him. Also, I know a few people that went to highschool woth him. They said even then he was popular and well liked while not selling out.
I spent a lot of time in Minneapolis as well as a fair number of other cities around the country. Minneapolis by far had the nicest people. It was also in my opinion one of the spots where people were more comfortable being themselves. There wasn't a glaring stereotype of what a Minnesotan was like.
Prince was a musical genius! Taught himself to play every instrument and constantly reinvented himself as an artist. He had his demons but he was truly one of a kind.
Some bad research here. Prince changed his name to that symbol to get out of his record contract. That symbol is an ancient mid-eastern symbol (I forget the culture) for.... a Prince.
Im so upset with myself, that i didnt see Prince and appreciate his amazing work until later in my life in adulthood without prejudice, unlike when i was younger. PURE genius. Prince's music and lyrics give hope. I hold him in the highest regard.. i miss him
I knew Prince was insanely prolific, but-- honestly-- was blown away by all the music, groups and collaborations mentioned in this video. Basically unfathomable. May he Rest In Peace.
To be honest, I think it would be something conceptually hard to say, to have NEVER heard something written or performed by Prince, MJ, or Elvis, while living anywhere in the last 40 years! 🤔
Up. Prince had a son. He died shortly after birth. He and his wife had produced another child but had a miscarriage and after that he decided never to have kids.
I remember buying "Sign ☮ the Times" as a freshman back in '87 and having my mind blown out of my skull. I'd been a fan since "1999" came out and this was far beyond anything he'd done before.
Incredible artist that has influenced, excited and amazed me for over 30 years, I had the privalege of going in the artists entrance after breaking my leg in Glasgow and seeing him again in Edinburgh. His music has got me through tough times and great times, his abilities and work ethic is something I could never achieve but Ill never stop trying. A great great loss to all and whether youre a fan or not his talent will have touched your life in one way or another. I still have my tickets from the gigs and one day Ill have a cloud guitar (Ive said this for 30 years) that I can play to help me through my difficulties. I finally got a tattoo (terrified of needles and anything associated) of the love symbol on my wrist and every time I play the guitar its in contact with the guitar and I hope it helps me play. Superb talent, proud to have experienced it live.
He was a genius and geniuses like Prince only come once in a lifetime. I have been a huge Prince fan for the majority of my life, since I was very young. I was devastated when he died. Prince will always be my favorite musician of all time.
Other famous artists bios! Michael Jackson, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Miles Davis, Paul Robeson, Tupac Shakur, and The Notorious B.I.G. Awesome as always Biographics
I was just a little boy when Purple Rain blew up. My older sisters adored him and I wished I could play like him. Unfortunately (for me), his cutting room floor had more talent than my best, in-the-zone effort could ever create.
Now prince, who was possessed by demons to play well, by the way, is being raped and tortured by beasts in hell beyond anyone’s wildest imagination, which he must endure for all eternity-sad. His temporary fame was not worth it and he will regret being born forever. Forget about him and serve Jesus instead, the real Prince of Peace, King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus loves you my friend, but that demonic musician called Prince actually would hate you if he saw you then on earth or if you join him in the future below.
I would be fine if it were not for things like people talking about possessed deceivers like Prince like he was special, most of whom headed where he is. And we’re not going to get to heaven by being flippant, my friend. None of us are okay without Jesus, and Prince was no follower of Jesus with his filthy, demonic and childish lyrics, all seeing eye and arrogant ,flippant selfish attitude. I used to love Prince until I matured and realized his teaching was sending himself and many to hell. It’s time for you to get serious about your spiritual life too, because the heaven/hell issue is not going to go away even with us trying to act funny, cute, cool my friend. Don’t deceive yourself a or make little of big issues for your soul’s sake. And if you end up there you now cannot make an excuse that you were never warned.
@@thebrand5184 ok buddy just checking on you. Have a nice day & don't forget to be tenderhearted, kind & gentle. Throw in a little of humility, and most of all be a reflection of the One you're trying to represent. Leave the judging to Him, because for all you know Prince could have given his heart to Christ the very hour of his death. ✌
Prince was also a MAJOR control freak when it came to preserving his music - it wasn't until that Prince passed that a lot of his music videos and music was blasted onto RUclips, especially songs that weren't released as singles. Price was ADAMANT that if you wanted to listen to him, you bought the album. That said, man was a master of his craft. I remember seeing old concerts and him jumping off of Marshall stacks, splits, dancing in high heel boots, etc...man knew how to entertain and bring people into his life. Even later on in his life when he dismissed his older sexual songs, after he became a Jehovah's Witness, Prince was still Prince. RIP, Prince. *Alexa, play Diamonds and Pearls*
Prince showed up at my family’s small farm to evangelize for the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Also Paisley Park is about 30min outside the Minneapolis city limits.
Must have been quite crazy to open the door and find Prince in front of your door. I usually just say I'm an atheist so bye to jehova a witnesses but who wouldn't make an exception for Prince
@@stephjovi My dad was who answered the door, and he's not a fan of Prince's music. He acknowledges the sheer talent of the man, just not his taste in music.
I've heard Prince and his good friend Miles Davis recorded together multiple times at Paisley Park. The recordings are supposed to be part of his vault. I want to hear these so badly.
genuis the most complete musician/entertainer ever...he could write, produce ,play, sing, dance etc etc...Noone ever mastered every aspect the way he did....he had so much talent that it's hard to comprehend....combined with an insane work ethic ... you get Prince
I saw him preform his last concert in Canada. I wasn’t a fan of his music but went with one of his biggest fans. It was a good show and will keep the ticket stub as a souvenir forever.
lets be honest here, when has the "Parental Advisory Explicit Content" label ever stopped someone from getting an album? I remember being in my teens and greatly preferring the explicit versions and when I would go buy a cd, I chose that and my parents didnt mind at all. It seems to me that the only people that really cared about that were the parents that were deeply religious and wanted their children kept in a metaphorical innocent bubble in the world. lol
As well: the bands who whined and complained about the explicit lyrics label on the front were whiners, sissy boys, glam musicians, and terrible lyricists, one and all... Nice comment, noted.
You answered your own question there. Religious parents exist, growing up in Texas I knew kids who weren’t allowed to watch/read Harry Potter or listen to any radio station other than the squeaky clean radio Disney.

I don't think, personally, that Prince was rude. I saw him a lot, and he was always quiet and soft spoken, even when asking for a favor. He never had huge bodyguards unless he was going out, because so many people stalked him, threatened him and wanted to meet him. I know that there are a lot of people who probably felt insulted because he didn't want to talk to them, but he was very used to being stared at, and just ignored it. He and his entourage always dressed up when going out, because they were always on show out in public. If they didn't, they would never hear the end of how they "didn't make an effort", or "looked terrible in real life". I was around a ton of big stars in the 90s, and you cannot imagine the horrendous things the average person would walk up and say to them. Most people just blurt out unbelievably rude opinions on the famous persons looks, clothes, life, partners and choices. It gets old, so stars are forced to keep a distance. They are also always being stalked by unbalanced persons, which they try to keep quiet about, because stalkers LOVE to think that they are noticed and talked about. If some guy was too close and staring obsessively at Prince, want them to leave before they did anything scary.
It's so easy to judge if you weren't there, but you can't imagine the awful crap they have to endure all the time. I was interested in show business when I started there, but I very quickly decided that the life, if you are successful at all, is awful, constricting and dangerous. You are never really alone, or safe. I just don't see how anyone could stand it...
In the "Andy Warhol Diaries," Warhol talks about going to a Prince concert and the after-party. Warhol was impressed with how polite Prince was, personally greeting every guest and thanking them for coming. Warhol's driver was a big Prince fan so Warhol brought him along--it was a high point of his life that Prince spoke to him, thanked him, called him by name and shook his hand. Maybe Prince changed later when he became more famous, but I'd like to think not.
Prince is a local legend here in Minneapolis, we miss him greatly.
"local"
I cannot even imagine what it must be like for you people in Minneapolis losing a musical magician with no peer like Prince...the loss of a genius of that magnitude surely must leave a energy void that one could almost touch....but our eternal thanks to your city for producing & sharing such an amazing artist that gave us - and still does - so much joy....
Did y'all celebrate him by razing the town to the ground?
@@richardpotter6313 the area effected by the riots was actually a very small portion of the city lol. It's really sad too, the area that was effected was a shithole before, now it will almost certainly stay a shithole for decades.
@@matth8924 Yeah, with no AutoZone, shoe store and other much needed small businesses. It'll be like Detroit. Then what'll happen is the jes order aka 'da church' will buy up the entire neighborhood for nothing , revamp it , rent it out and wax even richer. Alwhile still retaining ownership. It's been happening for eons.
it hurts me that he's no longer physically in the world, but i know he'll never truly be gone with all that he left behind.
such an amazing man.💜
Seen him in concert in Vegas...changed my life!
wow, i bet that was amazing
The Super Bowl performance was truly amazing.
I soooo Agree with you 👏🏼👍👏🏼.
Yes!!!!
The most underrated guitar player.
I can never understand why people say things like that. In what conceivable way was he underrated? Underrated by whom? Virtually any qualified critic of popular music of the era acknowledges as one of the greatest guitarists of all. Any musician of the time would say the same thing. If the general public don't instantly equate Prince with "great guitarist" it's because that was only part of his genius. He was also a great singer, songwriter, performer, producer. Is there anyone familiar with his music who says he wasn't also great on the guitar? Sure, there are some, probably here in this thread even, who will put him down because it inflates their own ego to trash someone whom everyone else admires. Their opinions don't count. Among those whose opinions are worth listening to, Prince could hardly be more highly rated.
Prince played under the influence of demons. Anyone could do that if they also worshipped Satan and were possessed. The little music man also allegedly had magical powers and was seen levitating more than once. Don’t pay any attention to this horrible person with his childish songs of perversion and delusion. Spend your precious time with Jesus, the only real Prince, and repent or you will end up with the 20-instrument demonic virtuoso tortured beyond your wildest imagination for all eternity... please!
@@thebrand5184 😂😂😂
One wrong fact: He had a son named Amiir Nelson who died one week after he was born. The boy had Pfeiffer syndrome.
With Mayte, right?
@@a_bookish_gemini Yes, they tried it even a second trial resulting in a miscarriage. It is so sad.
@Nudist Trump There is no cure for that syndrome. The baby had type 2 and it's almost alwayw fatal. It's genetic disease.
That refers to first child, I don't know about the second.
Nudist Trump, Dominick is right. Amiir’s genetic disorder was not something you could cure. I don’t know if his Pfeiffer’s Syndrome was Type 2 or Type 3, but both involve neurodevelopmental disorder and early death. So it wasn’t a matter of his ego, it’s that there was literally nothing that could be done. And in 1996, the disorder had only been medically identified and recognized for 32 years.
I live in the Twin Cities and when Amiir’s death made the local news, we all mourned with them. He did a lot locally that he didn’t brag about. He was good man and the depth of mourning we all felt when he died 4 years ago was very real.
This is what Mayte said:
“They brought the baby over to us. He was curled on his side, gasping shallow little gulps of air. Because there were no lids to blink, his eyes looked startled and dry. I caught hold of his tiny hand, saying over and over, ‘Mama loves you, Mama’s here.”
There was nothing the doctors could do in his case.
Prince was my first true love I fell in love with his music and followed him till the day he died. The world is less of a beautiful place without him.
Prince was even better than most people knew. He could REALLY play. From classical to jazz to blues, he was a monster that stuck to pop.
You're definitely right about his range. But he didn't stick to pop.. pop stuck to him. There's signs of his diverse musical range early on but definitely started to go in different directions after Purple Rain
Prince is always and forever will be his own.
Now demon-possessed Prince is Owned by the demons he served, which he and all who honor him will have to suffer for all eternity. Repent and promote Jesus instead, the real eternal Prince and King of all.
@@thebrand5184 wasn't he a devout Jehovah witness?
The pain medication is the only thing I can find that he did that wasn't in guidance with his religion.
THAT DEMON BACK PAIN BE GONE!
But nope.
This Guy Hey friend. JW’s reject Jesus. He might as well been devout as a Jewish, Muslim, or a Satanist subscriber. Without living for Jesus, and promoting Jesus as Savior a person cannot go to heaven where Jesus is King. Get to know Jesus better by fervent prayer and studying of the Scriptures, then you will find yourself accepted by the Creator of music and every other good gift from above. I will pray for you, my friend, and hope to see you in heaven.
@@thebrand5184 I'll exchange prayers with you, God bless you my friend. I'll see you up there for sure, wanna race?
That Super Bowl performance (as well as the game surrounding it) will always be near and dear to my heart. Purple Rain in that downpour was incredible.
He sang Purple Rain in the damn rain during halftime at Super Bowl XLI!!!
That was the moment I “got it”.
I love that the producer of that show called Prince earlier in the day and asked if he was going to be OK with the rain, if he needed anything. Prince said "Can you make it rain harder?"
PRINCE was magic, true magic surrounded by unconditional love. thanks Simon. although I am sitting here crying over his loss to humanity, i am grateful that i had the opportunity to see him perform live nine times, yes nine. he was breathtaking to watch and hear and his devilish smile and eyes - my god they made all of our eggs ripen and drop collectively. No one got out of those concerts alive and the same as when they entered. Magician. Sorcerer. Mage. Druid. Magnificent. There was one and never will be another Prince Rogers Nelson.
I have never known so much about Prince before this video. I know his essential hits, but now I suddenly find myself respecting and even admiring this prolific writer. I prefer artists who write their own stuff.
Quite possibly the biggest loss to music ever, he was the greatest inspiration
Lol, really? Him and his one hit song?
@@kraanz you obviously didn't grow up in the eighties or nineties
@@jameshendershot4234 I did.
@@kraanz The fact that you think he only had one hit song speaks volumes of your ignorance...
As a Minneapolis native his unrelenting loyalty to our city always amazes me.
I transplanted to St. Paul in ‘79 while in high school. In college, friends started talking about First Ave and seeing him there. All these years later and I’ve still never been there. I actually thought about going to the vigil there after he died. Still rather surreal. He made a hell of an impact on music.
Now if all the folks who helped destroy it only felt the same...🤔
“Everbody has their own experience. That’s why we are here, to learn, to go down those paths and eventually you may have gone down so many paths and learned so much that you don’t have to come back”
Prince
Charlie Murphy: 'Hey Prince , you got a towel? It's kinda hot in here'
Prince: "Why don't you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka"
"After the game, they took us in the house and served us pancakes."
The Shirts against the Blouses............. 'Game..... Blouses!'
Don’t forget martika he wrote her entire album martika’s kitchen.
Apparently he recorded Kim basinger moaning during a sex session and used it on his batman album lemon crush.
When Prince revealed to Apollonia that she didn't just jump in Lake Minnetonka, he wasn't lying, that scene was filmed in California.
Classic skit. When he dunks, looks down and descends kills me everytime.
I'm from Minneapolis and spent a summer driving his band back and forth from the hotel to Paisley Park. Such great people and amazing musicians. Never met the man but he waved at me after dropping them off. For this 20 year old, it was amazing!!!
Prince, da Greatest of All time .
(popular music)
He has been my idol since I was 9 years old in 1983. I was known at school as “that girl who loves Prince”. When he died it was like losing part of my identity. Thanks for this.💜💜💜
I'm so glad that I got to not only see him in concert, but got to go back stage and see him! NO ONE DID IT LIKE PRINCE!!!
I was in line at a pearl jam concert in Columbia, SC when I heard about princes death. Shocking doesn't even come close to describing the feeling. One of the top 2 greatest guitar player/musicians that ever lived. RIP
Im sorry Simon you are wrong. He did father a child. A son but sadly the child died.
I was coming to say the same thing. It shaped his music from then on
@@ThatsSo369 And second child was miscarried, after that they divorced. It hit too hard.
He died of Pfeiffer syndrome he was 2 days old
Where's the DNA test, Pat???
@@lostintime8651 what do you mean? He accepted the child to his wife and MOURNED HIS SONS DEATH.
I remember reading an article where Nas talked about a time he asked Prince to collab and Prince told him get his masters first and that doubled my already high respect for him and his music
I saw Prince live in 2011 in Budapest for a four hour gig with a break in the middle. Some of the audience weren't aware it would last four hours, and there was still more to come when the break hit. So after returning to the stage Prince joked: "Did you think it was over? Do you know how many hits I've got?"
A good friend of my father grew up in Minneapolis, a musician in his own right. He said that even before Prince ever cut a hit record, the guy could play the hell outta a guitar...

Thank you so much for this video! Being from Minnesota I can tell you that he's viewed by us Minnesotans as the absolute best that music has to offer this world! Most of us still believe that he's not appreciated enough for how exceptional he truly was. This video started my day off wonderfully! Thank you.
I lived 1/2 mile from Paisley Park, there was always a line out the door at weird hours for concerts he'd hold at the drop of a hat. Interesting place. Had a few car chases with the cops in his yellow corvette. Buddy of mine is in one of his videos
I knew Prince was prolific but I had no idea he was THAT prolific!
He once described himself like Mozart. Mozart said that his music was fully written in his head and that he just transcribed it. There’s no question that he was a musical genius.
@@ItsJustLisa That seems accurate to me.
Good job on this biography. Very rarely do I see someone not make somekind of snide comment about Prince's height.
He was short. But he wore heels. It became his thing.
Prince broke racial barriers, the rules of gender specific clothing, and celebrated femininity in straight black men. That's why I loved him so much!!!!!! RIP
Prince is from my hometown. Love him!
Everything I owned in the '80s was purple. Prince was my first celebrity crush. Thank you Simon for doing a wonderful job on this video.
He's was a HUGE part of my childhood...🎶Party like it's 1999🎶.. 🎶Little Red Corvette🎶. BEAUTIFUL,TALENTED (more than a LOT of musicians) Charismatic,Intelligent...never will be another man like Prince. RIP💜🙏
I bawled like a baby the day that he passed. 😭😭😭 Beautiful man, beautiful music
Thank you Simon. Prince was my musical hero and will always live on.
When I saw the thumbnail for this video my immediate thought was, "Oh f*ck yeah, Biographics did a video on Prince!"
*click*
By the way, Biographics, "May his reign be forever purple." Nicely stated.
I worked at a record store when Prince passed. Within two hours of the news breaking, we completely sold out of EVERY Prince album we had, new and used, CD and vinyl. My boss said the only time comparable to that was when Michael Jackson died. We were out of Prince albums for MONTHS, because all of our distributors were out of Prince. People literally bought every single Prince album from all major distributors. Gotta say though, working at that record store is what introduced me to Prince and my recent love for him. I always knew him but I'd never actually listened until my coworkers played him in the store. Fortunately, Prince had hours upon hours of unreleased and demo material, so we'll be getting Prince albums for years to come! Incredible talent and big heart, he was taken much too soon.
He wasn't "taken much too soon", he was a pathetic narcotic junkie who killed himself on Fentanyl. Fentanyl is approximately fifty times stronger than heroin. He had had pain problems from his feet which he injured by repeatedly jumping off speakers and risers in his live concerts. Just like every very successful musician for which everything comes too easy, he had too much free time on his hands, and we all know what the devil does with idle hands.
Do note Prince is an American had surgery was prescribed pain meds. American health system doctors get paid to push pharmaceutical drugs of their patients by the pharmaceutical companies. And get paid good money. When government regulations FDA approved and so forth is to keep the patient on a drug for this span of time and ween off under doctors care. If a patient isn't taking the drug or a lower dosage of the drug no more money for that doctor. So they keep the patient of the drug far more longer than the health approved regulations for the drug writing excuses in their report. Those drugs are powerful they get you hooked make you sick if you come off of them. Do you think someone takes a pain med and stop taking it and boom they are okay? Then on top of that you have a doctor with a medical license acting like a drug dealer pushing deadly drugs onto their patients so they can pocket money. Prince was in pain. His ankles/hips. He goes to the doctors asking for help and its his fault?
Prince the devil-worshipper is in hell. Throw his awful, childish, demon infested music away and worship Jesus, the real Prince.
Prince dared to break new ground in 80s pop with his versatility.
Biographic summed up: Prince literally could do anything better than anyone
Literally, literally, literally. When will the "literally" fad end? I am sick of it. (Not literally.)
@@JiveDadson 🤷🏽♂️
Amen
Could he Dunk ?🤔
@@nel9357 yes lmao look up the story about how Charlie Murphy played ball w him and he was mega nice 😂
As a Twin Cities native with a cousin 10 yrs my senior nextdoor, I grew up surrounded by his his music throughout the 80s. First Ave is just as freaking amazing as it seems in Purple Rain. There's currently an amazing exhibit at the MN Historical Society where he heavily features. He was absolutely devoted to his hometown & we loved him back. I know more than one person who opened their front door to find him proselytizing for the Jehovah Witnesses. Apparently he was genuinely nice & soft spoken.
PS- Paisley Park isn't in Minneapolis. It's in Chanhassen.
I've been in love with Prince since I was 10. I still can't believe he's gone from this earth but I feel so privileged to be alive the same time he was.
One artist I really wish I saw live before he passed away 😢 His performance is still my favourite Super Bowl half time show 👍
He's the reason they attempt to censor music. WHAT A LEGEND.
Prince died my senior year at the University of Minnesota. Before that I resented Minneapolis considering it a cesspool without culture, and then all at once the entire city went into mourning. Every light in the city that could change color was set to purple for weeks. Artists from all over the world were performing free tributes to Prince at Paisley Park. I once got on a LRT train and everyone was singing _When Doves Cry._ Prince really did go out of his way to put Minneapolis on the map as a cultural center, spending millions on local talent in numerous arts. It was bittersweet because I realized that Minneapolis actually did have culture ...and it had just died. RIP, man!
He did father a child who sadly died only days after birth. Was kind of shocked that this was overlooked here.
I think it's sad that we have to lose someone or come very close to it before we truly realize the value that person brings to our lives. I will always be so grateful for growing up as a teenager in the late 80s & experiencing Prince's musical career as it unfolded. I was in awe of him then & continue to be to this day. I wish he was able to spend more time among us, but still so grateful for the time he was here. How ironic that he would write a song with a title, "Nothing compares to you" because that's exactly what I think of when he comes to mind. Rest in peace, Prince.💜💜💜
That man was amazing. Him at the super bowl doing purple rain in the rain with the twins is the greatest live performance ever!
Prince the best guitar player, like Simon Whistler the greatest beard grower and biography presenter
I just want to point out as someone from Minneapolis, how rare it was that he came out of this city. People here are usually less likely to do big and bombastic things, because that will get you the most disapproving side eye. People from Minnesota don't dance or openly flaunt their sexuality. Heck, we barely even make eye contact. Prince was always 100% himself though. Even when he was a Jehovah's Witness, he still stayed true to himself, and that is the most inspiring thing about him. Also, I know a few people that went to highschool woth him. They said even then he was popular and well liked while not selling out.
I spent a lot of time in Minneapolis as well as a fair number of other cities around the country. Minneapolis by far had the nicest people. It was also in my opinion one of the spots where people were more comfortable being themselves. There wasn't a glaring stereotype of what a Minnesotan was like.
“Bombastic”; I love it. Lol
Prince was a musical genius! Taught himself to play every instrument and constantly reinvented himself as an artist. He had his demons but he was truly one of a kind.
Yessss, Prince has been the musician of my life from childhood to my 30s :))). What a talent. What a genius.
Some bad research here. Prince changed his name to that symbol to get out of his record contract. That symbol is an ancient mid-eastern symbol (I forget the culture) for.... a Prince.
Egyptian hieroglyphics is where Prince got the symbol from. Prince was very much into Egyptology which a lot of people don't know.
Im so upset with myself, that i didnt see Prince and appreciate his amazing work until later in my life in adulthood without prejudice, unlike when i was younger. PURE genius. Prince's music and lyrics give hope. I hold him in the highest regard.. i miss him
Thank you so much doing this bio! Prince will always live on through his love he exerted upon this world with everything he brought
Such a big loss. He will be forever missed. One of his biggest fans.
Still live around half an hour from his home... My state was devastated when he passed. His house literally looks like a laboratory on the outside.
He championed Independent artist and ownership of their art, that alone makes him one of the most important Artist of our Generation and beyond.
Still seems surreal that he's no longer around to do performances. Prince: Always The Legend
I had a coworker that was obsessed with Prince. He was very talented.
I knew Prince was insanely prolific, but-- honestly-- was blown away by all the music, groups and collaborations mentioned in this video. Basically unfathomable. May he Rest In Peace.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life..."
- Prince
I've watched too much Business Blaze, 'cause I'm sitting here wondering if Simon has ever actually heard Prince's music. 🤣
I just started watching and wondered the exact same thing 😂😂. I wish he'd comment on every channel but I guess many people don't want that 😂
Lol
Simon is just a reading head, he isn’t a fan in any way.
😂😂😂
To be honest, I think it would be something conceptually hard to say, to have NEVER heard something written or performed by Prince, MJ, or Elvis, while living anywhere in the last 40 years! 🤔
Graffiti bridge was and is such an amazing song. Loved that growing up.
I’m so early!!! 👏 Love you Simon! Prince is one of my favorite artists. Cheers!!!
Don't know how you didn't mention Diamonds and Pearls (which was a big hit album) but altogether a solid video, thank you for doing a Prince Bio!
Up. Prince had a son. He died shortly after birth. He and his wife had produced another child but had a miscarriage and after that he decided never to have kids.
Pantone created a shade of purple specifically to honor him, and called it Purple Rain....
Nice! Didn't know that!
A purely free spirit and is musically unforgettable 💜
I remember buying "Sign ☮ the Times" as a freshman back in '87 and having my mind blown out of my skull. I'd been a fan since "1999" came out and this was far beyond anything he'd done before.
Awesome Video Simon, as Usual💙Thanks😉
Incredible artist that has influenced, excited and amazed me for over 30 years, I had the privalege of going in the artists entrance after breaking my leg in Glasgow and seeing him again in Edinburgh. His music has got me through tough times and great times, his abilities and work ethic is something I could never achieve but Ill never stop trying. A great great loss to all and whether youre a fan or not his talent will have touched your life in one way or another. I still have my tickets from the gigs and one day Ill have a cloud guitar (Ive said this for 30 years) that I can play to help me through my difficulties. I finally got a tattoo (terrified of needles and anything associated) of the love symbol on my wrist and every time I play the guitar its in contact with the guitar and I hope it helps me play. Superb talent, proud to have experienced it live.
Prince is the Mozart of our time. Truly one of the most talented musicians in history.
He was a genius and geniuses like Prince only come once in a lifetime. I have been a huge Prince fan for the majority of my life, since I was very young. I was devastated when he died. Prince will always be my favorite musician of all time.
I know it wasn't intended as a tribute but I'm sure he would have appreciated it
Other famous artists bios! Michael Jackson, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Miles Davis, Paul Robeson, Tupac Shakur, and The Notorious B.I.G.
Awesome as always Biographics
I was lucky enough to see him 4 times in concert and he was a true musician and composer In every sense of the word.
😘😘😘💜💜💜💜
Prince was 1 of the most authentic and prolific musicians ever! He wasn't a wannabe, PRINCE was an ORIGINAL.
I was just a little boy when Purple Rain blew up. My older sisters adored him and I wished I could play like him. Unfortunately (for me), his cutting room floor had more talent than my best, in-the-zone effort could ever create.
Prince Rogers Nelson was always my favorite artist! In all honesty!
Prince is never in the top 5 guitarists of all time which I don't understand coz he was a beast of an axe player. 🎸⌚🤔
Jealousy
Now prince, who was possessed by demons to play well, by the way, is being raped and tortured by beasts in hell beyond anyone’s wildest imagination, which he must endure for all eternity-sad. His temporary fame was not worth it and he will regret being born forever. Forget about him and serve Jesus instead, the real Prince of Peace, King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus loves you my friend, but that demonic musician called Prince actually would hate you if he saw you then on earth or if you join him in the future below.
@@thebrand5184 You ok buddy? 😮
I would be fine if it were not for things like people talking about possessed deceivers like Prince like he was special, most of whom headed where he is. And we’re not going to get to heaven by being flippant, my friend. None of us are okay without Jesus, and Prince was no follower of Jesus with his filthy, demonic and childish lyrics, all seeing eye and arrogant ,flippant selfish attitude. I used to love Prince until I matured and realized his teaching was sending himself and many to hell. It’s time for you to get serious about your spiritual life too, because the heaven/hell issue is not going to go away even with us trying to act funny, cute, cool my friend. Don’t deceive yourself a or make little of big issues for your soul’s sake. And if you end up there you now cannot make an excuse that you were never warned.
@@thebrand5184 ok buddy just checking on you. Have a nice day & don't forget to be tenderhearted, kind & gentle. Throw in a little of humility, and most of all be a reflection of the One you're trying to represent. Leave the judging to Him, because for all you know Prince could have given his heart to Christ the very hour of his death. ✌
Excellent vid, Simon! Great job!
Prince was also a MAJOR control freak when it came to preserving his music - it wasn't until that Prince passed that a lot of his music videos and music was blasted onto RUclips, especially songs that weren't released as singles. Price was ADAMANT that if you wanted to listen to him, you bought the album. That said, man was a master of his craft. I remember seeing old concerts and him jumping off of Marshall stacks, splits, dancing in high heel boots, etc...man knew how to entertain and bring people into his life. Even later on in his life when he dismissed his older sexual songs, after he became a Jehovah's Witness, Prince was still Prince. RIP, Prince. *Alexa, play Diamonds and Pearls*
Prince showed up at my family’s small farm to evangelize for the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Also Paisley Park is about 30min outside the Minneapolis city limits.
Must have been quite crazy to open the door and find Prince in front of your door. I usually just say I'm an atheist so bye to jehova a witnesses but who wouldn't make an exception for Prince
@@stephjovi My dad was who answered the door, and he's not a fan of Prince's music. He acknowledges the sheer talent of the man, just not his taste in music.
I've heard Prince and his good friend Miles Davis recorded together multiple times at Paisley Park. The recordings are supposed to be part of his vault. I want to hear these so badly.
genuis the most complete musician/entertainer ever...he could write, produce ,play, sing, dance etc etc...Noone ever mastered every aspect the way he did....he had so much talent that it's hard to comprehend....combined with an insane work ethic ... you get Prince
Simon with the triple upload thank you for taking up my schedule for the morning
This was the best (Prince in a nutshell) doc I've ever seen!
I saw him preform his last concert in Canada. I wasn’t a fan of his music but went with one of his biggest fans. It was a good show and will keep the ticket stub as a souvenir forever.
This is a channel which makes me relax and learn a lot
lets be honest here, when has the "Parental Advisory Explicit Content" label ever stopped someone from getting an album? I remember being in my teens and greatly preferring the explicit versions and when I would go buy a cd, I chose that and my parents didnt mind at all. It seems to me that the only people that really cared about that were the parents that were deeply religious and wanted their children kept in a metaphorical innocent bubble in the world. lol
As well: the bands who whined and complained about the explicit lyrics label on the front were whiners, sissy boys, glam musicians, and terrible lyricists, one and all... Nice comment, noted.
Did you ever buy the T-shirt with the label on it? I had a friend who loved to wear his just to try to get a rise out of his parents
You answered your own question there. Religious parents exist, growing up in Texas I knew kids who weren’t allowed to watch/read Harry Potter or listen to any radio station other than the squeaky clean radio Disney.
it an symbol of power. you know, the all seeing eye crap.
@@gokuss15 🤣🤣🤣Disney ...the lot of Satan himself! They'd have been better off with Metallica and ...(fill in with ... ANYTHING)
This is a random thank you to this channel. I can and have spent hours on end watching these videos.
Listening to Prince's music is a Gold Experience, it can bring inanimate objects to life.
His death still brings me to tears. 😢☔️
I can't even watch this until I can sit under candlelight alone.
