    Like a Camillimane

    sales/streams don't equate to good music buddy

    Easy to say when your favorite artist couldn’t/can’t put numbers up. That cop out doesn’t work.

    No album with Unbreakable, Heartbreaker, Invincible, Whatever Happens, Break of dawn, Butterflies, You Rock My World, and Heaven Can Wait can be anywhere near bad. Put all of Prince’s best 2000s s*** together into one and it’s not f***ing with those songs alone. You’re fighting it.

    I am saw him twice in 2012, once at 3 AM with Janelle Monae premiering Electric Lady material

    He took our phones so I got no footage from it, but that's how Prince stories go

    we saw him in the same arena that we were in the very next night for Watch the Throne tour and i still haven't recovered from that weekend

    I was old enough but my money wasn’t was 17 making 7.50 at a Burger King

    Pathetic was spending every dollar I earned on concerts since younger than that. Knew I'd miss out on a ton of old goats otherwise.

    i think its a decent album but have you heard all the 2000s Prince album to give them a fair chance? (i havent yet)

    still feel like the Invincible highlights are much weaker than the other MJ albums though

    Prince has a bunch of 90s stuff as good or better than MJ's 2 albums in the 90s imo

    and framing it as one good decade vs. an entire discography doesnt sound as impressive when you consider that Prince had more 80s music than MJ ever had total

    im not a huge fan of pitting them up against each other tho anyway i still like MJ a lot, not knocking him or anything

    Nothing Prince did in the 90s is f***ing with Dangerous let alone the high points on History. If someone makes 2926373837 albums in a decade vs someone making two, and 90% of those albums are frisbee material nobody cares about.. come on now. Y’all are hilarious on here. This is why these MJ x Prince talks get like they do lol, Prince fans swear they were on an equal level. They weren’t. I absolutely adore Prince… but Prince was chasing MJ it was never the other way around. One was deeply bothered (Prince) by the other, it was never the other way around. These are documented facts.

    i respect your opinion i just think Gold Experience is better than almost any MJ album and is top 5 prince. I really like albums like Come, Chaos and Disorder, Emancipation more than most people do and I dont think anything in the decade is worthless or bad at all

    again youre just saying "nobody cares about" dude no one cares if they didnt sell like MJ, we are trying to discuss the music. just say what you think you dont need to back it up with everyone elses opinion

    Concerts are generally a good investment. I've never met an oldhead who regretted spending money on shows. The memories are there and once the GOATs are gone, they're gone.

    I've got three concerts this month alone Big Thief, Little Simz and Steely Dan because I'd f***ing cry if I never got to see Donald F**en before he passes, already missed out on seeing them with Walter Becker.

    I’ve heard every single project Prince has ever released officially or hasn’t (at least those available in some capacity on depths of the internet). His 2000s output is extremely all over the place quality wise. It’s a clusterfuck

    Prince didn’t even really like the albums you named (emancipation aside), He released most of those to just get out of his Warner deal. What’s your point here?

    i dont care if he didnt like them, i like them

    a lot of artists hated some of their great music, i dont really care about that. they have a much different perspective on it than we do as listeners

    Thriller simply because I enjoy it slightly more.

    Playing your own instruments does not make the music automatically better.

    Thriller, but I fw Purple Rain

    Having supreme knowledge of producing, mixing, mastering and all instruments and all personal nuances of songwriting does give you the upper hand over the impersonal pop factory

    Lol at you naming only the 80s albums then a random 90s album… because you know most of his 90s output was ass. Sinks your entire take. Michael doesn’t have any lapse in his discography, period. That > one good decade.

    That first album is from the ‘70s, stupid
