Dead Prince>>>Live Kanye in 2016

[QB Eagles]

What amazes me about Kanye is the huge breadth of his musical influences. What amazes me about Prince is the huge breadth of his own personal musical influence.

[Rome]

Kanye West shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Prince.   One is an icon.  The other is famous for marrying a whore and hating whitey.

turn it up and shake your rump

This argument is so farging dumb.

Anyone who says that Kanye sucks has never listened to his music. The man is a genius and despite his public behavior has written some of the most introspective shtein in the history of hiphop while laying it over ridiculously catchy beats. Remove your hatred of his persona and listen to his work. The shtein is exceptional.

None of that makes him the musical legend that Prince is. You don't even have to like Prince's songs to recognize his expansive and lasting influence.

Kanye has changed shaped hiphop at a time when the entire genre had lost its way, which is fine. Prince changed and shaped music and the culture at large, which is why he's a legend.

I don't even like kayne that much and hes not in my top 10 anything rap music but if you are an old bitter white man who likes heavy metal I get why you would know nothing about him...however trust me when I tell you he has more great rap songs than prince does pop

before you ask me to go get a job today....can I at least get a raise of the minimum wage...and i know that the government administer AIDS...so I guess we just pray like the minister say...allahu akbar and throw him some hot cars...things we see on the screen thats not ours...but these nigggggas from the hood so these dreams not far...where im from the dope boys is the rock stars....but they cant cop cars without seeing cop cars...i guess they want us all behind bars

prince aint never wrote no shtein like that

[Diomedes]

oh shut up and get a job

i agree with all of a that and its a very good way to put it

my thing with prince is that and of course all music is mostly subjective is that his lyrical and song making talent did not equate to his musical talent....i totally respect the guy for writing everything he did both lyrics and especially his music...knowing how to playing 25 different instruments ect is pretty awesome when lots of pop singers cant play any

that said I just don't think his actual songs came close to matching his talent...again this is all opinion but a lot of his best songs were pretty awful....party like its 1999....little red corvette??...come on dooks that shtein is garbage

this is still going on.

prince was a musician mike was a hit maker....good comparison to what I was saying tho...if you ask me who was more talented then it obviously was prince...if you ask me who made more and better songs it was mike by miles...shtein id rather listen to Madonna over prince

funny you posted rock to as his all time favorite hip-hop album is dark twisted fantasy....insane opinion but again theres no accounting for taste
