Every episode of PURPLE THRILLZ is a road map of ambition drawn by these two iconic musicians. For Michael Jackson...he grew an ambition to break free from the constraints of Motown's restrictive formulaic production style. The ambition to evolve as an individual performer without the limitations of the family group. Michael's time in New York filming the Wiz in the summer of 1977 exposed him to the NYC club scene. Then to the true Wizard Quincy Jones. The collaboration that sprung from their hookup can't be overstated.
Prince has said that after high school he worked as a caddy in Minneapolis for a time. Furthermore that he looked for jobs that he could be interested in. He knew that music was where he lived. Where his true identity could be centered. Once he understood this truth about himself, he knew that he had to go HAM on his work ethic. The impact that his prolific career has had is massive.
The ultimate manifestation of their ambitions was that within a year of each other, they released the seminal recordings, "Thriller" and "Purple Rain". These albums had hits, huge hits! Beat it, Billie Jean, Thriller, Purple Rain, Let's go crazy, and When Doves Cry!
In the 80's the two musicians began what looks like a series of pranks. The 1st time was the infamous James Brown incident. Prince's tour manager is positive that there was something fishy happening there. Next was the massive Jacksons Victory tour. Prince was a guest of the brothers and definitely made his presence felt. Finally there was the recording of we are the world in January of 1985. This historical recording was one of the most historic gatherings of pop royalty in history. Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, Huey Lewis, Steve Perry, Hall & Oates, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Ken Keagen, Dan Aykroyd, Bette Midler, Latoya Jackson, the Jacksons, the Pointer sisters, Lindsey Buckingham, and many others got together to form USA for Africa. The group was gathered for famine relief but there were shenanigans afoot. Prince found himself at Carlos & Charlies. It got messy.
What happens when you produce the work of your life at the age of 25? When you are set for life financially, but you're young enough to have tons of creative life in you and you have no limitations placed on you. This is a dangerous place to exist. Prince and Michael Jackson took different routes in solidifying their respective legacies.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF INTERESTING CUTS THAT WERE PUT TO THIS VIDEO (NOT BY ME). FOR SOME REASON THEY DIDN'T CUT THOSE PARTS OUT OF THE SHORT VERSION. TELL US WHY YOU THINK THEY WERE CUT 🤔 th-cam.com/video/23E7E6YAD24/w-d-xo.htmlsi=z1lRHLDCjHUIEDF7

The irony of this being both a MJ and Prince fan. Prince was definitely more of a nut job then MJ. Im in 2 minutes in your video and I already dont like it. I am a fan of both but Prince was a nut job. Im going to watch you video some more more but I dont like it. Ok Im watching your video. it doesnt seem bias... Which is good. I enjoyed the video. Very ambious but im happy its not oppinionated but more informative. Sorry if I was judgmental in the beginning.
I'm a black girl from the south. NOBODY was picking either mj or prince. Everyone lovee both. Each person, however, had a favorite
If they had a favorite then a picking 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm white and live in the north and it has absolutely nothing to do with anything.
@@ricchoder2983Real fans support both instead of being one sided.
@@jonathansimmons6452 but if you were stuck on an island and had to pick one to listen to who you picking
Racist people didnt like either. Even when michael went white
Rest in peace to both Michael and Prince
Two f****** Legends making hits in heaven.
STILL unbelievable that they’re both gone. SMH
And that’s all. Anything else is noise.
Amen 🙏 RIP both Michael and Prince
That's a weird concept ..everyone disturbs their energy for no reason then tells them to rest in peace again to remind them they are dead. Does that make any sense to you or anyone else? It don't make any sense to me.
Lenny Kravitz had an interview recently where he talked about working with Prince and that Prince would bring him over to Michael's just to mess with Michael in the studio (in a friendly way).
I love Lenny too! ❣️
This!
@@Directorkey718 But I gotta admit although I love Lenny, he's gotta give credit to where credit is due. His new hit Human sounds a bit like Walk Right Now by The Jacksons. 🤔
Lenny is beta sex kitten in the mk ultra program. This is how he wears the leopard print and tight leathers and is shown as a feminine sex icon exactly like Steven Tyler. Lenny was a sex doll for other men.
This world will never be the same again without these two😢
Oh please 🤣
Both MJ and Prince Fan need to watch this to dismantle this notion that they hated each other.
They may not have hated each other but they sure did compete a lot against each other. Both of them really wanted to make sure that they left a mark on MTV and the Radio.
@@PowerRangersFanAntiDinoFury Can you name any artist in history who DIDN'T compete to be the best?
Interesting… But I need to SEE these people doing these interviews
@@HypnoticHollywood mostly the one hit wonders, I usually have to rediscover those songs because I forget em easily.
thy were both the best of their time
Two giants of music who were vastly different from each other. MJ was everyone's hero and Prince was everyone's sexy villain.
In the 80s for sure. 😂
😂😂😂sexy villain 💜🤷🏽♀️💯
Sexy villain is crazy lmao 😭🙏🏾
Prince was too self absorbed
Prince was my hero and sexy villain all in one in true Gemini style ❤
I miss them both. I'm a fan to both
Me too. 😉

People got to remember, they were 2 different artists. Different music styles and directions.
One needed help and the other didn't.
@@Andrew-rz7qtWRONG🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
False 🙄@@Andrew-rz7qt
Very true
@@Andrew-rz7qt literally not true… At all. Like the original commenter said, they had different directions and approach. I could sit here and say Prince’s best work came with The Revolution and that anything after their work together was subpar in comparison… which would have validity. That also would be as equally as ridiculous as what you commented.
Two of the biggest stars in music history both would have been 66 this year.

@@danavixen6274 Yeah they didn't have a choice!! 😭😭
This topic is a reminder of how so many people REFUSE to accept the fact that this world is BIG ENOUGH for all people to shine in their own UNIQUE way! If you want to truly feel good about yourself, NEVER compare yourself to anyone else and NEVER see other people as competition! NOBODY can beat you at BEING YOU! Be your authentic self and learn to appreciate whatever makes you unique, and don't try to be like anyone else!
Needed to be said. Great words, everyone should know this truth.
@@TheThrillerEffect Absolutely! 👍❤️✌️
Right on.. I wouldn’t even be the same person if only Mike *or* Prince existed.. to use your line, the world is big enough for everyone to express their full selves.. I think we’re headed there and that’s gonna be a pretty darn dynamic place..

Best comment award!
Today was a perfect day to watch this. 40th Anniversary of Purple Rain and 15th Anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death
I didn’t realise that it was a double anniversary until around noon. Strange vibe.
The definitely drove each other to be the best artists of not only their generation, but arguably, any era of music history.
Arguably???? DEFINITELY!
GC!
I’m so glad to have experienced both of these musical greats! It was such an inspiring and incredible competition that you just couldn’t choose between the two artists. I felt proud as a fan to accept both of their talents and to be fortunate to have been alive during the Purple Rain and Thriller eras simultaneously. ❤🎉 Thanks to the both of these pioneers and their musical ambitions. Keep these videos coming! The younger generations need to learn about the history of Prince & MJ 😊
YESSSSSS MY GAWD WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
THE BEST
The Thriller and Purple Rain era was the most exciting and electric time in music...ever! ❤️💜
yes
I am both a Michael Jackson fan and a Prince fan. However, NO ONE, NO ONE was bigger than Michael Jackson. No. ONE. Even Elvis, who I was also a fan of.
CORRECT😊
Pavarotti was bigger than Michael Jackson
@@onesong2001 Perhaps you mean in body mass/size, I agree. Otherwise, in what world/universe? On second thought, I probably shouldn't have responded to your obvious bait bc if you believe that, there's no sense arguing with you. Have a great day!
@@onesong2001LAY OFF THE DRUGS!
No.. Prince is far more talented and sophisticated
Prior to 1982, there was no comparison between the 2 artists. I was 14 in '82, and I remember both 1999 and Thriller. Granted, they had 2 entirety different styles, Thriller was truly a pop album, whereas 1999 was very cutting edge r&b, funk, and very artistic. You knew that Prince was coming....
I don’t believe for one second that MJ & Prince were enemies, they were friends. And to imagine if they collaborated would’ve taken the whole music genre by storm. These guys both musically inspired me to become one of the greats.
I’m glad that Prince refused to do BAD collaboration cuz Prince is jealous of Michael
Not enemies, but not friends - more respectful competitors...
Prince was sad when MJ passed.
@@Psycho-ThinkerBye
They were friendly, though rivals and competitive. I wouldn’t exactly call them friends, because they talked behind each other’s back and tried to embarrass the other. They definitely hung out, but there was distrust between them, thus they always had to be on their guard around each other. Madonna was the same way. When you’re on top of the world, your ego tends to get in the way.
TAVIS SMILEY! TAVIS said if true, Prince lock himself from the world for weeks when he heard Michael Jackson died in 2009. When he came back he was a different person.
I believe it.
@@TheThrillerEffect this may be the greatest video of them two that i ever watched thank you u got my sub
@@IENetworkTV dam. That is a serious compliment. Thank you!
bruh, your edits and the composition of this video is incredible! much respect!
This the type of comment that keeps someone going. Thank you so much! You don’t even know
@TheThrillerEffect I concur, thank you for putting so much effort into this. You gave this video the time and care these two musical giants deserve 👏🏾
Omg that "you were scared, weren't you.." exchange between Michael and Prince🤣🤣🤣🤣 very creative. I love your editing
Kind words.Thank you.
15th anniversary of MJ’s passing. RIP, King. ❤
Prince' former backup dancer Katt Glover spoke about this, and she said they were good friends and highly respected each other.
that's in part 2!
I am from a rural town in Oklahoma and a lifetime fan of both musical icons/legends. I grew up on the Jackson 5 and Motown and I'm an Irish/ Native American mix. (That may surprise some people.) I know a great deal about Michael Jackson and Prince and have had the pleasure of seeing them both in concert in my lifetime. I was at the 1984 Victory Tour concert that kicked off that tour in KS City. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 5th row from the stage ground seats, nobody sat in our seats. We all stood in them the entire concert. I saw Prince perform twice in Oklahoma City, the Hit & Run concert and Musicology.
These two men were never to be compared to each other, they were so different as artists. Like 🍎 and 🍊, they had their OWN indevidual and INCREDIBLE gifts creatively. We appreciated them as indeviduals. They will never be replaced.
🕊🕊
@@t.m.i.1245 cheers to this 🥂
That's what I thought too, they are far from being alike. And personally, I prefer Prince and grew up in the same era in 1984, I was just turning 7 in July. I also grew up in an interracial household
Still waiting for the day when these two can be discussed separately, not needlessly compared and contrasted...but luv ya The Thriller Effect!😁
It will never happen. Competition is ok
I'm always watching exclusive MJ content???
@@CrystalM1917 Which is fine, but I think you totally missed the point of what I said, based on your response here.😎🙄
The PurpleThriller effect 💜💯🤷🏽♀️
They should be compared. Why? As the doc shows, they were both a part of building the industry at its most profitable moment and realised their individual importance in its growth. They would soon realize how they were really helping to create a monster. THATS PART TWO...watch for it.
I feel bad for the Gen Z kids you see in comment sections who need to pick-a-side because they grew up in the stan culture era where liking Taylor Swift means you have to hate Beyonce or vice versa.... those of us who were actually there in the 80s and even 90s loved them both and realized they were two entirely different artists
💯
Thank you. You can definitely tell who wasn't actually around at that time. We didn't know or care about any behind the scenes foolery, we loved them both!
Taylor Swift a joke she can never be what MJ and Prince were about.
truth teller ⬆⚠
The biggest difference between Michael and Prince was Michael was more spontaneous .. When Mike was on stage his moves with his brothers were choreographed but his individual moves was just him improvising and drawing from the vast reservoir of his musical and dance inspirations.. Everything from Sammy Davis, The Nicholas Bros, Fred Astaire to James Brown, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Supremes, Stevie Wonder you name it ... Prince is legendary for his marathon rehearsal sessions because EVERYTHING he did on stage was calculated and exhaustively choreographed .. Prince was good on the Instruments, Michael was more organic and comfortable in his own skin on stage.. Prince was the artist Michael was the entertainer ! Michael initially had more uplifting energy, Prince was dark and eccentric !!!
And also what people forget too is MJ was doing this since 5 years old. In his book moonwalker he talked about more about the performances, rehearsals, and his father’s vision that the American Dream movie didn’t show. He and his brothers really worked hard to get their entire family out of poverty.
@@MsJonessss Prince was uplifting as well though. jus sayn
@@TheThrillerEffect I"ve seen Prince live several times, especially in the early days.. great talent but far from uplifting energy.. Very dark ..at times there was a disturbing vibe/aura at his concerts .. leaving you'd wonder what was that ?.. and I've gone to hundreds of concerts and trust me out of all the concerts that I've been to there was definitely something different and off at Prince's live concerts.. but again everybody's not paying attention .. Check Prince's spirituality.. he wore it on his sleeve .. not the Fake Jehovah's Witness stuff but the 3rd eye and lotus flower/crown chakra stuff that he had on his album/CD covers .. you do know that stuff comes straight from the occult ? .. "Around the world in a day" is about "Astral Projection" 😝 ..and opening your 3rd eye are all occult doctrines that would make Aleister Crowley proud ! He didn't hide it, he was drenched in the occult... you're just blinded by admiration for tha purple fella !
@@g-love6507Yeah you’re a nut.
I grew up in the 70s. Music wasn’t segregated on the radio. On the same station you could hear the O’Jays and the Spinners and Led Zeppelin, Alice cooper, Loretta lynne, Stevie Wonder, Linda rondstadt, Jackson Five, the carpenters, Gordon Lightfoot, Grand Funk Railroad all on the same station. Different races. Different genres. Didn’t matter. Folk. Rock. Funk. R&B, pop, country. All together. So MTVs line is bs. They resegregated music for no reason. And I’m from the Midwest and no, we weren’t afraid of Prince. Omg. Black people live here too. And the white people grew up listening to it all as African Americans. It was awesome. Over time radio stations became very niche which is a shame. To this day I love so many different genres of music.
🥂 cheers to that
That’s how I remember it in Dallas too and rap on Saturday’s for1 hour. 🤣🤷🏽♀️💯💜
@@TC-Jack Yo!
Where you from??
@@DavidRyan-vt4uu Indiana. You?
I’m 27 and I often times wished I was born earlier just to experience them both, they are both 2 of my favorite artists of all time! Nothing will compare to them💯
I was fortunate enough to see Michael Jackson with his brothers on their Victory Tour and I also seen Prince at his Nassau concert in Long Island NY.
Prince had a magickal charisma that even topped TTD and MJ's probably the musical genius overwhelming the stage.
@@Chares-ym8gw that’s what’s up!
@@Geoffrey-d2y for sure, no one will ever compare to them!
I'm good !@@queuerose1401
Night Tracks has a special place in my heart. They played black artists that were on the billboard charts. They played many black artists. Mtv had to catch up. It is interesting that they played white artists that played soul music but not black artists...
I was grateful for night tracks and BET
YESSSSSS
@@jayskywalker5049 mtv played hall and pates religiously but said they only want rock music. Make it make sense
Hell yea,I used to stay up on the weekends all night to watch night tracks.
I think it was wtbs/super station back then or something with Ted turners. Name on it
@@skinnythin3599 yep
I miss night tracks it really did play it all.
Most of the fandom already knows they didn't hate each other, that they had far more in common, that this OFTEN happened with Black artists/Black folkx, that they made each other greater, that the televised beef facilitated record sales, and that Prince dated or just wanted his sisters--thus spent a lot of time at Michael's crib😂
simply put and plain truth
It's crazy that both of them are gone
True
All I know is that they both fought to get back ownership of their music and eventually won. Then they died.
The music ownership; through various circumstances ---is now back with the music companies they fought against . and.... They both preached about this loudly. hmmmmmmmmmm..........
MJ owned his music. They killed him for the ATV catolog. His estate still has his catalog.

Prince was SO GOOD that the brand sold itself on the shelve and it didn't need to be pushed.
Prince wrote all his songs and could play any instrument. Michael on the other hand needs help with everything but dancing.
@@Andrew-rz7qtYou do know he wrote many of his biggest hits and is in the Songwriters hall of fame. That's more than just dancing. Smh

@@sdey893 Jackson has a higher percentage of hits from his number of released songs, your the one that needs to stop.

Agreed!
I really wish that Michael Jackson and Prince had at least MUSICALLY COLLABORATED with each other ONCE during their careers! Aw man, just IMAGINE what they could've CREATED together! I think that WHATEVER they had CREATED together would've been one of the MOST AWESOME musical CREATIONS ever! Their mutual fans were CHEATED of that.
AWESOME video!! i haven’t heard a lot of these interviews, do u have a reference page?? Your work is incredible!!! THX so much!!❤❤

Thank you sister❤
@@TheThrillerEffect : Great Video...but is there a part 2 I only ask because it cut off at the end of the Documentary......!!!
I thought they were both cute to me
And I’m from the south too the south I live here in Georgia, Savannah, Georgia I believe in here since like 96
Rip respect and appreciate them both. Two of the greatest artists ever and both got taken out
wisdom
MJ and Prince are forces of nature. I think placing one above the other is a matter of preference. However, I think they are equally GIFTED
They gave Prince a guitar that was Totally out of tune...as was most of the band by the way. That's what threw Prince off. Michael did Not set him up he could not have known the guitar would be out of tune and the band would be sub par. They didn't even know what to do behind Michael.
I like this take
Yeah Michael didn't know he wanted James to call Prince so Prince could also do his thing he had no idea it would go sideways
Bullocks. Michael knew exactly what he was doing.
@@jovanreid6782 I’m an MJ fan. And he is Confident with what he can do with a microphone. But find me another instance of Prince not being able to get on with a guitar.
Prince and Michael were The Artist and The World's Greatest Entertainer, both unique and sublime in their own special way. In the final analysis, it's foolishness to compare the two.
This episode, like OUTIM, was fabulous! Please keep them coming! Love your perspective! 💜
Thank you! Will do!
Another Great one. Thanks again for sharing and the hard work playa!
Same bruv1!
These two were the greatest of the greats..and will truely be missed by us all!!😮😢
Two kings at the same time!! That was great
MJ is the King.. Not Prince.. That's a FACT..
This video makes me think that my problems are small! If u wanna be great, like these two, u have to be strong to endure the world! Got it!
So true. Be careful what we wish for
When you're blessed with the level of talent these two amazing artists had you can never be not hot. Two true legends ( RIP Michael Jackson, and Prince).
IT'S NOT NEWS TO ME,. THEY RESPECTED EACH OTHER.
Very true
To be honest as a little boy MJ was beaten into being a entertainer and that brought scars he had to deal with all his life. Prince didn't have a perfect upbringing at all and he still managed to creatively deliver a unique musical experience. Both were amazing and its sad theyre not here anymore.😊
well said
David Bowie was smart enough to know MTV prejudices about black musicians and entertainers.
Two very talented Artists! I am a huge fan of both Michael Jackson and PRINCE! They are both my favorites, and I would not choose one over the other, and I think their sounds are different. They both are missed to this day. Amazing. Both could have been related ???❤️🎶🙏💞🎶🙏
A yes!! The Goku and Vegita of pop music with One always trying to get the edge over the other ;a beautiful Rivalry- the best of that kind.
You are not the first to make the Goku Vegita comparison. Such great imagery.
Those times were a blast. They were crazy yet no social media. The best of two worlds.
No better time to be a kid than the 80’s & 90’s.
Damn straight!
I was Both!!!! You could not choose one over the other!!!!!!!!
nice
@TheThrillerEffect They made it hard. Both of them amazing. Michael revolutionized Music Videos with Thriller. And Prince......baby.....he was just Prince. We were blessed to have them both.
These two men were the best,! I never felt I had to choose one over the other and couldn't to save my life. They are such a big part of my life, that created a large part of my personal soundtrack, that I feel I know and love them. I hope they are eternally blessed as much as they blessed us all with their gifts and then some. Neither had an easy time of it, but still they gave so much. I miss them.
Amazing sentiment and so heartfelt
THIS WAS VERY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH, I ENJOYED IT! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Glad you did
@thriller effect.. incredible.. i could only find this first segment.. is there more?
Im 41yrs old grew up listening to both, my mother loved MJ. Me personally i Love them both. Musical geniuses

I see why Imán loved Bowie . ❤❤❤❤
I didn't even find out who Prince was until I was like 16. I knew about the Jackson Five ever since I was old enough to pay attention to and understand what I was watching. Nobody black discussed who was better. We enjoyed EVERYBODY FBA" black " who they even ALLOWED to become famous.
Michael Jackson, the King of Entertainment. Prince, the King of Music, Whitney, the Queen of Song & Voice and Kendrick, the King of the Mike & Hiphop.

@@TheThrillerEffectthat whole year is nothing but goats! Babyface, Madonna....
I always believe, both respected each other, mainly due to the history in race. MJs history in music with his brothers is what pushes him slightly above Prince. Hence MJ is " king."
Lets be real. It's what MJ accomplished when he went solo that pushed him ahead of prince. Not what MJ accomplished with his brothers
It's more than slightly, Historically MJ towers above him in all cultural aspects.
MJ named his son after Prince. He admired him and wanted to collaborate with him for Bad.
@@VanielDeeform no he didnt
MJ named his son after his grandfather prince
@jamesway
I want to believe this but as I lived when both were top, Prince did his thing but he could never get above MJ.
They were both mega talented, and shrewd business men. Music… entertainment in general was changed by both of these men.
I Love both mj and Prince and both are great artists both icons and both are pure genius 💯 and to this Day i listen to both and always will ❤❤❤❤❤ and may they RIP
They both rule
Great video and primary sources. There did not have to be a choice between MJ and Prince: they were both über-talented in their own lanes and that 'rivalry' was pumped by the media. People bought the music and/or watched live performances of both, and their concerts were amazing but like their music, largely different.
Since i’m a gen z from a different era, i feel if i was able to meet either MJ or prince back then, i’d meet MJ because it would be so memorable. I like prince music but idk it’s really something about MJ i just wished i could’ve experienced. I’m currently rereading his moonwalker. Also, i can relate to him with the whole not wanting to look like your abusive father thing. I guess prince can relate too since his father was a woman beater.
Even famous ppl who met Michael were starstruck and said there was just a magic to him that was just unique to him only. Couldn't be fully explained or duplicated. ✨️
The realest winners of all this is the generation that saw all this up close and personal. Everyone else after gets to treasure it.
gold!
I was lucky enough to see Prince in concert with my Mom. During the show, his band covered two MJ songs and one Janet record. 🤗
“In order to escape death I attempted to buy my soul” in conclusion OWN YOUR MASTERS, or others people’s masters lol
Tragic figures who both left far too soon.
This video was well put together and edited soo well! There definitely was some friendly competition more or less. Seemed like mostly messing with each other, but when Micheal passed, I heard Prince locked himself in his room for 3 days and didn’t come out. In the end, they had a lot of respect and admiration for each other. We loved and miss them both.❤️💜 Hope Prince fam let’s us hear some of his unreleased music some day.
So thankful you enjoyed it! 😝
After Drake and Kendrick compared themselves to Michael and Prince I had to watch this to understand the reference lol both musicians were legendary in their time 🔥🔥🔥
Those punks better not compare themselves to the legends.
That video of Prince, Michael and James Brown...I pull it up often. I love that video. And prince was the best part to me. Coming in on thr body guards back, playing the guitar, the hand claps, knocking down the light. It was pure Prince. A vibe. Comfy in his own skin. Making you watch him one way or another. I just love thay video lol. Nothing to be embarrassed about in my opinion. It could have been scene from Purple Rain.
I remember a kid visiting my grandparents running upstairs to my uncle’s room so I could listen to both and admire their album covers. The one that had me mesmerized the most was Around The World In A Day album cover. To this day I still look at it and just be at awe like where did the idea stem from?!
Both men were so talented and creative. I enjoyed watching and listening to liked them both. RIP to these two legends.
How can you compare those two superstars both of them was brilliant both of them were totally different who said that they were not rivalries
Am a fan of both cause both are different artists. i never compare them
I'm 99.9999% sure Michael owned 51% of Sony which was a major problem for them. Everyone says 50% but I'm pretty sure it was 51% Michael referred to it as half because still not a lie and he already had a target on his back just because of the ownership of Sony and his catalogs
Thank you for uploading !
@@royalmindscheme pleasure
Is comical in 2024 how people really believe Drake is bigger than Mike ever was 🤷🏼♂️
I think Little Richard may have been the first to join gimmick persona with demand for rightful compensation. Sad, but genius exhibition of the need to trump identity in order to be seen as a person. The public can relate to this cosplay. Everyone has had to deal with assimilation. But, "Black American" stereotyping is on another scale. The pocket watching and the penny snatching when its known you can't be half arsed and do any deal if your classified as "Black." You get to a point to where you pull back or find ways to establish
the borders of your deliverable. You know when your about to be taken.
MJ v. Prince, East Coast vs. West Coast, Jordan v Kobe... Nope he's dead, its Jordan v. Lebron instead. Conditioning for revolving door conditions for people classified as black. There's plenty of money for owners, and everyone aligned and beneath them. What is the cut for the star of the show? It appears being a star means constantly being milked. When there seems to be an expiration date which only puts milking into overdrive. More revenue dead than alive.
I have to admit there was a week I seriously considered dressing up like Hattie McDaniel's mammy character and showing up to the office performing at my highest as usual. In the middle of a summer, not Halloween. There comes a time when you want to put on exhibit the predatory behavior leveraging your skills and totem pole compensation scales.
And it still exists. Only now there are caste system loyalists acting as strawmen for corporations. They do use similar contracts, theirs including non-payment clauses. The difference is between sharecropping and out and out slavery.
We’ll never have artists like these two again, EVER.
2 of a kind
I love your editing lol. Had to subscribe.
I sure appreciate it 😉
They played basketball 1 on 1 sometimes at the Jackson estate when Prince was in LA he used to mess with Latoya late 70's early 80's they used to go skating also
I also was told that they played chess against each other online games in the 2000s apparently, Chris was very good in chess and Batman sport
If you think about it none of it really mattered in the end. They are both dead and gone and nobody won..I am the same age and a big fan of both. Rest in peace..
I beg to differ, someone did win….us. Rest easy to both titans.✌🏽
Loved them both RIP😊
I miss them both. Hard to imagine this world without them. 😢
Imagination isn't necessary.....unfortunately.
MJ, the world's most favorite super hero & Prince, world's most sexy super villain… The Best-Rival Buddies Respected Towards One Another & to Everyone Else Ever!
RIP to them both. Actual ARTIST that broke boundaries and DEFIED "Manufactured" BS
Why is it that there is always competition between black musicians? I have not seen this with other groups of people.
Because their is competition in music
great viddy.. viddy well .. musicologists know all this already.. go purple rock style
We all loved both. There was no one or the other. Both great , iconic artists.
It would've been dope to see MJ and Prince grace the stage together where both could shine at what they were specialized in. Imagine if they did at least ONE song together... That would've been HUGE!! I truly believe they were professional and creative rivals and not enemies. They actually admired and respected each other. Sad we'll never see that!
So basically, popular media sold seeds and made these two fellas go after each other. Why is there always competition amongst ourselves?
Wow, this video has already 30,000 views in mere days. I am watching this video. Keep it coming.
No lie when I was a Kid back in the 90s I used to think that Prince and Michael Jackson were Brothers judt like I thought the same thing with Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter.
When I was going to high school in Detroit Prince would come to town w stay for days. And everyone dressed like Prince or Michael or Morris Day
😢 it's so sad but I believe that the Hollywood elites killed Michael Jackson and Prince and many other of our iconics!!! Smh 💯🙏🏼🕊️
