      Prince was a CONSTANT…he was ALWAYS THERE…always AMAZING, always GENIUS…always looked EXACTLY the same…let me rephrase that…PRINCE IS A CONSTANT…his music has always been there and will always be there for me or ANYONE…just GENIUS…ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL…never wanted the fame, but he SHINED SO BRIGHT he HAD to be SEEN…he had to be HEARD…Purple Rain…my GOODNESS…that song is LIFE…so much emotion…so much pain, joy, hurt, sadness, happiness, bliss…just every human emotion put into ONE SONG…if there is ever another artist as talented as Prince, then GOD BLESS THE DAY we get to hear it…because PRINCE IS MUSIC. PERIOD. Love him! Thank GOD I got the chance to see him in concert…he sang every song PERFECTLY, note for note…his screams are actual notes, because he hits them everytime…we can talk all day about the barriers he broke for African-Americans…how many careers owe their COINS to his musical genius…how he broke down musical boundaries and was unafraid to show vulnerability in his music…PRINCE IS A CONSTANT. God bless his family and friends…

    • LmfaoHoe April 21, 2016

      I gave my roses while he could smell them.

    • LmfaoHoe April 21, 2016

      I still can’t believe this smh. God bless take good care of Mariah and Janet too ! I can’t with the artists I grew up leaving this works so early. First MJ, Whitney, now Prince God Good ??

    • ka April 21, 2016

      thats always the sad case, express love when gone. The man amongst others (Michael, Whitney) changed the game to what we see being influenced today (Usher, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson etc.) Prince was on that level with originality and eccentric style (heels, beard,s*** girlfriends)

      Thank You, for sharing your talent with the world,RIP

    • wellwell April 21, 2016

      when nobody buys albums anymore this looks like much for a moment… huh? *shrugs*

  7. Dossome April 21, 2016

    I’ll never get over this.

    • JOHNVIDAL April 21, 2016

      I´m so f****** shocked. First thing i thought after clicking on TGJ and seeing this was you really. One of teh very few here who stand for real talent and always spoke about Prince.

      • Dossome April 21, 2016

        This has hit me in a way nothing else ever has…His music has been a part of my life.I’m truly devastated bro

  8. ???Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??? April 21, 2016

    I can’t even fathom what happened. This is so sad. I know that Legends Panel is supposed to be over now, but they HAVE to make one remembering Prince’s legacy now. My mom is gonna be so upset when she hears the news.

  9. BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 April 21, 2016

    • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 21, 2016

  15. B2B April 21, 2016

  16. DaBeySting April 21, 2016

  17. XoMoDe April 21, 2016

    2016 has had a lot of celebrity deaths, thus far. It’s starting to look like 2009.

  18. Iconic Cici April 21, 2016

    Beyawnce’s lemonade movie is about to be overshadowed by Prince’s death

    .
    Must suck that she remains his lessor even in death

    • Danny Bey April 21, 2016

      Must suck that Man-ara has been a lessor since her 2nd album. Girl go on with that unnecessary mess.

  19. JOHNVIDAL April 21, 2016

    What the hell? I just came home and first thing I see is this: absolutely shocking. I eman, how? Wow. That´s f****** legend right there. Damn it Michael, Whitney and Prince in just 6 years. I mean, REAL legands. I´m shocked by this news.

  20. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 21, 2016

    None of us ever saw this coming

    • #JACKIE April 21, 2016

      I would like to see you jump off a cliff. Put yourself out of your misery already, k***.

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 21, 2016

        B**** what gave you the impression that I give a f*** about how you feel ?

      • Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) April 21, 2016

        …because I don’t

  21. Diabetic stroke April 21, 2016

    So much for that #1 rih. Prince will sell big this week. Mj sales were massive. How odd. The LEMONADE TRAILER total viewership via youtube is 4.5 million. The exact same ammout as the needed me video. Those HBO ratings will be same as the life is but a dream doc if not close. Wish bey wouldve promoted it on ellen

  22. HailBeysus April 21, 2016

    Y’all acting a mess in this post! Bringing up things that have nothing to do with Prince! These troll accounts are extremely unnecessary! Sam should just expose whoever it is!

  23. Real 20 April 21, 2016

    I just can’t believe he died so young by something like the flu it’s crazy i just get so tried of the icons dieing it’s just not right rip to King of pop GOD BLESS

  24. Diabetic stroke April 21, 2016

    Can we get over prince for a second and focus on more important matters? Wheres is the post on the LEMONADE trailers already clocking almost 5 mill in less than a full wk or needed me video almost 5 mill also and only out for a DAY. Very impressive for both. Prince death is so 4 hours ago. Prince didnt give 2 fuccs about ANYONE but himself.

    • Real 20 April 21, 2016

      No we can’t everything is not about beyonce and most important has some respect

  25. B2B April 21, 2016
