no Prince biopic still

What the fuck?

What's there to explore? Greatest musical artist in a thousand years, everybody knows it, period, end of sentence

He was always a bit overrated.

The industry doesn’t make movies about noticers

Leave Prince alone. My boy don't want none unless you hire a pretty, talented... Taylor Swift?

I lived in Spain for 6 months many, many years ago for fun and would walk around and listen to Prince. Everything he ever made. I became intimate with it. I became Prince for a short period. Now I fear I will never create a good memory ever again.

Prince could easily make Thriller
Mike would never make Purple Rain

what should i listen to

he was a man
he made music
the end

He made serval movies already

Who's Prince? I only know Pic related.

shame he's eternally trapped in comparisons with that thing

It would be kind of redundant since Purple Rain was a thinly veiled autobiography starring Prince as Prince with a full album of original music by Prince. What's a more literal version with someone doing a Prince impersonation going to do better?

Also, we have IRL HD footage of his most kino performance filmed by the best camera setups money can buy. Again, how's a fake version going to be any better?

Start with the entire oeuvres of his descendants: Ween. Beck. U2. etc. Then work your way back through what he gave to others. Sinead. The Bangles. Celine. Then, finally, savour the man's primary creations. You will not only be pleased... you will be satisfied.

That’s not James Hetfield

I'm 31 and the only prince song I could name is purple rain because it sounds like chocolate rain. I have no idea what it sounds like

Is this what it sounds like when dubs cry?

No one wants a biopic of an androgynous nig rapist.

Prince could easily make Thriller

And yet, he didn't. Thriller is also a better song than PR.

I'm 35 and I've never intentionally listened to prince, and wouldn't know it was him if it came on, because I'm not a boomer faggot normie.

he was extremely homophobic

You're still a faggot though

I’m 38 and my introduction to him was Chappelle’s Show. The first song I heard him perform in was his cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Purple Rain is great but his work in WMGGW is his best work IMO.

I'm going down a rabbit hole because of this thread. I want this honda holy shit

based

Chlorine the pools. Clean up the latest. Summer 2025 will be special!

That sounds quasi like a threat & it is. Just have fun my peeps... in moderation of course. Spring/$ummer 20 25 will be a blast....or I'll kill you!?

didn’t everyone who went to his house have to sign an NDA about what they saw there?

We already have purple rain

Thriller is not a better song than Purple Rain.
Thriller is a better music video than any music video Prince ever did, but as just a song Thriller isn't even in MJ's top 10 and doesn't beat really of Prince's top tier material.

Prince is an interesting one because he effectively had zero cultural relevance past the early 90s despite releasing an insane quantity of work independently
the biggest thing that kept people remembering him is that skit on Chappelle's show
I assume most of that non-label music is trash

prince never really had good music videos, like the best one is him being zesty in a tub and it’s really more just that the song is good

That’s because he actively fought and succeeded against internet piracy and went so far as to not even allowing official releases of his music on youtube.

I mostly like seeing prime Wendy and Lisa, and the fashion is ugly as hell but very interesting in the sense that it was just a thing in fucking Minnesota of all places for like 8 years and then it just stopped.
But Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Computer Blue, all better than Thriller.
And Prince's early 90s shit outclasses MJ's easily. Michael phoned it in through the whole 90s and coasted on Europe's bad taste.

His 90s and early 2000s music is absolutely kino. Not all, but a good chunk of it is.

What crazy in that is Tom Petty Commanding the room. I love that man. RIP

youtu.be/-WYYlRArn3g

You mean aside from performing the greatest super bowl halftime show of all time?

Whelp... & then the Purple Assassin shows up & it's OVah

I loved them both. Pills

Prince is just Pepsi with MJ being coke

Michael Jackson should have been the most pompous stuck up narcissistic annoying overrated weird person ever and instead he was the opposite because he was magic despite being a pedophile

Prince is the one who fits all those terms and isn't a pedophile, because he isn't an interesting magic person. He's just a normal narcissistic annoying fuckwad who copied MJ more than anyone

copied MJ

no he didn’t

Yes, he did.

Give five examples of what Prince stole from MJ.

Prince was an insanely gifted multi instrumentalist, but I just prefer Michael Jacksons music to Princes.

I sat down and listened to alot of his albums in an attempt to get into his music but I felt like with lots of his songs he was just writing them a certain way just to flex his musical talent and the fact that he played all the instruments

Op's pic definitely not related.

Prince sucks both figuratively and literally

embarrassing

Do you want Justice Smith to play him?

What's there to explore?

sex scenes, relationships

An unknown actor that needs to be able to aing as well.

You asshole. I no longer respect your musical taste as well as your mother's whole of a vagina ..
