Prince, Passes Away at 57.

[wide open]

Adore, doves cry, and I will die for you some bad songs just off the dome.

I will die for you is my personal favorite. For me, it has the equivalent effect of riding a roller coaster.

STRAIGHT EXHILARATING!!!

Yo..if "Purple Rain" doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you have no soul

This song really hits me heavy after his death yesterday

Tmz is saying he OD'd on percs a few days back.

I get prescribed 15mg for my back issues but only take them for bad flare ups. I've never craved them when I'm not in pain so never understood why people get hooked to them. Really is a sad situation though.

He had hip replacement surgery a few years back. I wonder if that had something to do with it. It could be a Gerald Levert situation also.

^ He also dated Vanessa Marcil back in the day & wrote The Most Beautiful Girl In The World for her...

I could have sworn it was about Mayte

Yo..if "Purple Rain" doesn't bring tears to your eyes, you have no soul

This song really hits me heavy after his death yesterday

I can't listen to it. I turned it off.

When I think of the song I think of it in terms of the movie, him dying changes the tone for me.

It's funny you mention that song, it was my favorite song off of the Purple Rain soundtrack. I just love the beat so much

Hands down my favorite Prince related song, you can tell he wrote it and produced it

 

[squatchnt]

One of my favorite scenes in Purple Rain after he shuts the club down with Darlin Nikki

Billy: What the **** wrong with you, Kid?

The Kid: I ain't got time for your ********, Billy. What do you want?

Billy: This stage is no place for your personal ****, man!

The Kid: That's life, man.

Billy: Life, my ***, ************! This is a business, and you ain't too far gone to see that yet! I told you before, you're not packin' them in like you used to. No one digs your music but yourself.

The Kid: **** OFF!

I am a Howard Stern fan and this was done for him on his birthday by Adam Levine.

Incubus did a cover of Let's Go Crazy...





Not the best audio quality but Chrches did a decent cover of I Would Die For You... If you're gonna cover the song doe, you gonna need to do the hand movements too...

[RIP sleazyy]

Morris Day is the damn man

Favorite part of Purple Rain is when he almost hits Morris with the bike and he's like "man I just got this **** out the cleaners"

 

[mrtarheel]

 

[Maximus Meridius]

My favorite song ever. Seriously.

The beat, the lyrics, the vocals.

Prince cover of Radiohead's Creep when he headlined Coachella in 2008. It had been available via bootlegs only until late last year when Thom Yorke gave permission for it to be posted on YT...

Man....how can 1 be so masterful/graceful/beautiful/ <insert any other adjective> on damn near every instrument you pick up? 

His solos always leave me in awe regardless how many times I see them.

Damn man, this is terrible that he is gone 

 

Edit: 

I remember watching a show and they were talking about the MJ song "Bad" and how they wanted Prince to be in the video, but when he saw the lyrics "Your butt is mine," he turned the offer down. 

 

[DCAllAfrican]

So who plays him in the movie?

Jaime Foxx?

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Morris Day is the damn man

 

They'll be here in june and i think i'm gonna go check em out

will be dope if they do some type of tribute 

 

[squatchnt]

So who plays him in the movie?

Jaime Foxx?

Prince has already played himself in a few movies, gonna be kinda hard to top that.

this right here man. It's crazy to me how he fought so hard to keep his stuff off youtube and basically never made his stuff free. I never got the chance to see him live, and the only exposure I have of him doing actual performances was from superbowl, music videos, or his movie/tv show appearances. I've always heard from my mom that he was by far the best performance she's ever seen in her life bar none. And she's seen rolling stones at their peak, hendrix, U2, chili peppers, paul mccartney, whitney houston, etc. etc. I never could really grasp what she meant until I recently saw some of his live shows finally start to creep up on YT.

 

[wrightone86]

Wandered down that YT rabbit hole of videos
