Prince Records Tribute to the People of Baltimore, Shares Artwork
Billboard ^ | May 01, 2015 | Lars Brandle

Posted on 05/01/2015 8:03:45 PM PDT by MeshugeMikey

Prince will share his feelings on the unrest in Baltimore in the way he knows best -- in song.

The legendary artist has recorded a “tribute to all of the people of the city of Baltimore,” a spokesperson tells Billboard. Though release plans haven’t been announced, it's understood the track will address Freddie Gray's death in Baltimore police custody, and the socio/political issues around the nation following a spate of killings of young black men.

“Prince will share his feelings...” Fine, your feelings don't matter now. Will you share your “feelings” when the trials are over? Why did you not share your “feelings” when a black man killed two British tourists in Florida? Are you a racist "Prince?"

I could care less about his politics or other nutty ideas, and his previous music sucked - but if anyone has any doubt that Prince is one hell of a guitar player, watch him shred it alongside Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, and others in the 2004 Rock hall performance:

Does Prince even remember when he was black?

When did he go back to Prince?

Just can’t imagine this flaming fag being well received within the Bushmeat Culture, then again one should consider the sexual proclivity of the black guys spending time in the pokey (yes pun intended, too poignant to pass up).

His “art” is probably still well coveted with the young naïve and liberal brainwashed “wanna be black” crackas.

Artistically, Prince is a musical genius, his production prowess, innovative music, style, dance, performance of numerous instruments at high level couldn’t be matched by the other pop performers Madonna or Michael Jackson. He’s done most of the material himself. Compare that with other artists who hire numerous session players and production teams. Not to mention him credited with many 80’s hits sung by other artists many aren’t aware of. He has burned out sound engineers and had them in rotation for several day sessions, he’s possessed with music bent on getting out everything in his head. Delve into his catalog and discover lots of unreleased material and all genres of music people haven’t heard like jazz. Biggest complaint has always been he needs a producer for quality control, but he’s a control freak.

In regards to his “politics” he never stood for any, never supported Obozo and has always been anti-establishment and anything mainstream does concerning entertainment, he does the opposite. Like no true internet presence or website. He sues youtube constantly as well. Otherwise as far as his out there themes or behavior, like reinventing himself in extreme ways, have at it...
