I just listened to Michael Jackson for the first time in the last three years . . .

[south4life]

U can never really compare MJ and Prince.

They had two different styles and both were part of groups with two different styles.

MJ comes from Motown and The Jackson 5 soul style and Prince comes from that Funk and Graham Central style.

Just because MJ didnt play every instrument doesn't make him a complete artist.

People seem to forget James Brown didn't play every instrument but, people still call him a complete artist even 80% of his records is the band getting it and JB talking jibbersh (i am a James Brown fan).

MJ knew what he wanted and would sing the parts, same thing JB did.

MJ is my favorite but i love JB, Stevie and Prince as well.

Mike been fuckin it up since the 60s.. Givin us over 50 yrs of epicness..

Niggas cant even name 20songs by Prince let along sing along.

Get the fuck outta here..

One. u can't name 20 songs. Dont mean nobody else can.

Do It All Night, God Created Woman, Wasted Kisses, Lady Cab Driver, Some Times it snows in April, Skandalous, Joy In Repitation, The Future, AnotherLover, Come On, Around The World In A Day, Soft and Wet, Automatic, Ballad Of Dorthy Parker, Greatest Romance Ever Sold, New Power Generation, 7, Somethings in the Water....

I aint even name the hits, or the semi hits nigga....

Also explain y his concerts stay sold out???... and Prince don't even perform his hits.

not even Prince know what Song he'll perform, He just bust them joints out at shows randomly.

No one has heard of most of those songs. Prince wasn't really pop music in my opinion. Two different lanes

exactly..

quality >>> quantity..

Prince had allllll the time in the world to make insignificant tracks..

meanwhile Mike was "healing the world makin it a better place.. for u and for me and the entire human race." hahahaha

Prince top 20 aint fuckin wit Mike's top 20 bet that!

Im not even gonna lie... Prince could of slowed down especially in the 90's when he was dropping triple albums every 3 months.. like nigga slow the fuck down, ppl are tryna take it in the last triple album.

I'll say this tho, because of the quantity of music Prince has, no musical artist in earth's history has the musical range of Prince .

How about Barry Manilow? The most soulful soul singer to ever live.

I dare anyone to dispute the greatness of this shit here. Been my favorite MJ song since I was a kid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-3JYuv9w4U

The demo version is so smooth too.

So fucking dope...I'm smoking a blunt right now listening to it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3v4v3G-PVE

Mayne, ain't nobody phuckin' w/ that nikka!! lol.... That shit too cold!

This shit could come out tomorrow and be outta here (a hit) if the RIGHT artist did it.

The whole Mike/Prince arguments once again... LOL

I always compare them to two HipHop greats; Jay-Z (Mike) and NaS (Prince) if you've followed their musical careers. Jigga always admired NaS and wanted him on his records, but the latter wasn't too bothered. However over time Jay acquired wealth, fame and record sales and commercial success in abundance compared to NaS...

Michael it was noted was secretly in awe of Prince. There were accounts of Mike sneaking into a private viewing of Purple Rain when it dropped. There was a picture here dropped of Mike reading the papers with a Prince article. Then of course the collabo on 'Bad' that Prince declined...

Prince was his own master in the music industry and didn't hire no writers or give a fuck about no one: made music whenever he wanted and was the pioneer of independence of a recording artiste from record labels

Mike became larger than life and had countries giving him military guard of honours that are afforded presidents and heads of State...

But I'll say currently I'm rocking Prince music more cos his discography is extensive and I'm just learning new music. Dude was a workaholic

Bobby Brown and Al B Sure are BS comparisons, bur Prince is a legit comparison.

I mostly listen to sports talk radio and both Mike and Prince got treated on there when they died like when Ali died.
