Oh thank you brotha Lee. For ur work. I was born in 65 Bronx. and all my childhood is dieing .Thanks Spike 4 keeping it alive. The King n The Purple one 4 ever.
Spike lee, is my favorite filmmaker of all. Ive been to his HOUSE, I've been to his Studio down in Brooklyn, and the man never ceases to amaze me. There was a point in time I had anger and misconceptions of him but no. He talked about Stevie being a National Treasure, well he himself is a national treasure. I wish I had the opportunity to attend NYU and learn from him. If one should be so lucky.
I love both stories cause I love both MJ and Prince. Absolute geniuses, each in their own way. Both unearthly talented. Not surprising that there was a healthy competition between them cause there was no one on their level to compete with. Mike what a singer, dancer, performer with angelic soul. Prince was absolute musical genius; I'd dare to say the greatest musical genius of all time. Man played 30 instruments (mastering every single one of them), his vocal range was absolutely insaane, out of this world, he danced, jumped, did spins etc (plus on high heels!! I don't know how the hell he managed that for hours) and plus meanwhile ,,his microphone was ON! :-D'' during his concerts, man was absolutely unbelievable!! He ate, drunk, breathed music; he wasn't musician, he was the music embodied in one man. I love to hear both those stories and I have no doubt that both Mike and Prince shine bright because Legends cannot die!! 💙🌟💜🌟
@@craigprice1598 Prince once said, I am not _of_ this world but I have come to _be_ in this world. I believe him☮️ Peace 🕊️ love 💜and light 🌟 May you live to see the dawn
Actually I think you'd have to call Charles Stepney the "architect," certainly of Minnie Riperton's early career. I think it was he who also suggested Maurice White sign Deniece Williams. His production and arrangement were certainly the foundation of the early EW&F, and Williams's and Riperton's first solo recordings as well as the Emotion's "Flowers" recording. I say this with great respect for Maurice White's musical ability.
Well, millions of us DO love Prince and will love him forever. We respect his immense talent and the wonderful person that he was....many don’t know what a philanthropist he was. Helped so many people, and causes.
Note to Spike: No Wine b4 interviewing. Repeating certain things so soon after stating it the first time and at 60 yrs old. I dig it, but not b4 interviews LOL
John Watts I was there and yes it did rain ☔️ during purple rain but what was the most amazing thing is it stop when the song stopped. Shit was magical
I will always speak for George Clinton Bootsy Parliament Funkadelic influence on music, if you never danced to a P-FUNK jam you are not black George Clinton with Kendrick Lamar in 2014 won a Grammy for the hit song at 75 years old ain't that funkin kind of hard on you, but George Clinton may not have a great voice, but 1 thing George Clinton Bootsy can do is work with all their band members and make black people dance, with probably the greatest song of all-time flashlight and then when you think that George Clinton has lost his touch, Micheal Jackson had the #1 hit 8 WK, along come George Clinton who finally used his name something that he said he would never do to the band, the atomic dog knock Micheal Jackson from number#1 hit, it's was fitting that it was George Clinton, and he still gets no respect, George Clinton Bootsy are icon without great looks & voice's but they have put a stamp on black popular music forever, and George Clinton retirement at the music he started in 1955 I was born in 1958 WOW ! Like MC hammer, you can't touch that. Give George Clinton Bootsy Parliament Funkadelic the credits theses singers & musicians deserves, people taught George Clinton was crazy because he did drugs, they all did drugs at some point in their careers, and even many are dead, and you would think George Clinton who did more crazier drugs than all would be the 1 who would be dead, think about all who are dead or have died, you talk about stood the test of time, George Clinton have lived to tell his life story. This is a book about the greatest of the hateest, keep on Funkadelicing not thing can stop George Clinton Bootsy Parliament Funkadelic now ! One nation under a groove P-FUNK all-stars y'all ! No questions !
That they both became Jehovah's Witnesses was odd given Princes competing nature. Michael left because of Thriller before Prince was baptized though. I don't know why they would speak as MJ wrote society and declared he didn't want to be a Witness anymore.
When you disassociate oneself is tantamount to being disfellowshipped, but Prince always took his faith as intensely as his music never wasting an opportunity to share the Kingdom message, when Michael Jackson was a devout Jehovah's Witness he had to disguise himself before going door to door, but Michael Jackson at the time was equally as serious in beliefs.
They were close friends because Michael never stopped being a Jehovah's Witness. He publicly recanted because he was the face of the witnesses and did not want to tarnish the organization's reputation
Michael Jackson story can never get enough I'm listening to stories about Michael a brilliant man very talented
I m here for MJ ..

Considering the fact that he’s drunk enough to slur his words, who knows whether what he’s saying is accurate or not.
Why is the volume on this so low?

Sooo what has spike done lately👀
The black Klansman movie
Spike is drunk, lol

What happened 2 Radio Raheem D Energizer.
Passed away, actor Bill Dunn who played him died.
I'm sorry I meant Bill Nunn..
Bug out juice does not make anyone "better" than when they are clear-headed, and that includes Spike, who like most of us, can be confused when sober.
yo spike is drunk af..smh this would be a perfect interview if he wasnt so damn crunk and stumbling and slurring his words lol
e money This was hilarious !!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Spike Lee, American genius! Lol, And he's fucked up too!
Why does he remind me of Woody Allen??
Please don't compare Spike to that pedophile.
can you imagine if MJ and Prince were as racist as spike, damn the word would be a gloomy depressed state
he drunk
Spike is slurring more than usual. He is definitely drunk.
Just Spike drunken rambling without real stories. Titled dishonestly.
Spike still wearing that tired X cap. LOL
