Poetry is more about the soul than it is the verse. Life is more about blessings than it is a curse. Never question the poetry of life when death is worse!ππΎ

Every once in a while i read the comments about music. I see where a listener was tired of my diverse songs . I came in on Public Enemy number 1 only a few weird heads got it. And everything i try is not gonna rePEat itself like rockband climbing. I was asked in fact begged to do Records because of my voice⦠my beginnings aint like any MC ever. No mc was begged ⦠and it is what is 40 years later⦠Gods conversation

Take this exactly as it's written, please. With no prejudice, no matter your other opinions on me, them or anyone else. I can tell you that both Londell and Charles took a LOT of time outside of their regular schedule and the panel to talk directly to fans and LISTEN to people who had critical feedback. This is both during and after scheduled Celebration events. They didn't have to do that, but they did, and for me that's a sign of good faith engagement. I don't think anyone is expecting critics to change opinions overnight, it will take time, and a lot more effort and tangible outcomes. But I hope that more people can assume good faith and good intent, because in my opinion (for whatever that's worth, which I know is something to some and nothing to others) it's there. I'm just another fan telling you what I saw. I'm not on the payroll and for the last few years I haven't even asked for media passes or anything else, just bought tickets and showed up. Ultimately, we all want the same thing, for Prince's legacy to be done right, and I believe they do too. Mistakes have been made, things have been tried that didn't always work out, and I think they'd be the first to admit that. Timeless is going to be a great set, I think most people in the room were happy with the songs we heard from it. When you hear "I Am You" you will understand why it makes perfect sense as the opener, and when you hear "The Guilty Ones" you will be incredibly happy too. So let's keep this purple train rolling π #Prince
You can't constantly operate from a defensive posture instead of listening, learning, improving, and moving forward.
And putting fans against one another is completely counterproductive.
Prince deserves better.
And so does his legacy ππ€πΎ
@iamslickrick01 Very accurate description of Minneapolis! It has a prevailing vibe that's very welcoming. After several visits to MPLS/Paisley Park, my view of Prince was forever enhanced.
Thank you for sharing your perspectives on this Celebration!
The legacy needs your sight and intelligence!
@MrBerre The legacy will continue if they can keep the music relevant into the future. That means finding a way to create fans out of people who have not been born yet. Some of us Prince fam had the privilege to see the entire Prince career arc. It was glorious! But it's not the future.
There ARE NO DYNASTIES in THE NBA β¦ lets stop imagining like there is . Itβs never yours its only YOUR turnβ¦ end of this lesser name college town OKC small town thing for a minute. People forget Indy took them to 7. Too many people anointed them invincible after one final.. theyll be back But will be tested again if the all college thing works
