It really is prince all day though . Michael is great but prince is the greatest. His musical variety, not mention all the instruments he played , all self taught . There will never be anyone like that . We've seen micheal clones in music but you can't clone prince's style .
LOGICALLY , U cant compare MJ and Prince. MJ was a child phenomenon prodigy who rose to teenage heartthrob ,megastar,then icon. Along side of writing and producing ( not just for self, but others as well. HE epitomized showmanship through innovations of video, choreography(of various genres) catapulting stardom to the stratosphere with the BIGGEST SELLING LP of all time. Prince child prodigy who not only played , but mastered many instruments. A one man army unparalleled musically.A Minneapolis Stevie Wonder who did it ALL. He was able to play MANY different genres as well as write for a plethora of GREAT talents. Musical genius...hands down! Polar opposite of each other, but BOTH GREAT " IN THEIR OWN RIGHT" Apples and Oranges...
Prince did that and way more, on his first album “for you” he played every single instrument(he could play 27) not to mention every single one of princes songs were written and composed by him. Prince wrote some of the biggest hits for other artists like, nothing compares 2 u, Manic Monday, Love song, the list foes on and on.

Michael was a talented performer. But watching him and his brothers grow up you could tell they were groomed and marketed as the darlings for Motown. He always could look at anyone and mimic their movements .In 72 I saw him go on soul train and do the splits like James brown . Entertainers he admired he would incorporate their movements in his dance. Prince was on a different level. He could play multiple instruments and play them at a hall of fame level. Cant think of anyone else in the industry who could play guitar like Jimmy Hendrix and play bass like Larry Graham and play keyboards like Little Richard. Along with producing and conceiving groups at the drop of a hat, The Time, Vanity, Sheena Easton along with writing the material for them Not to mention producing his own movies and writing the material for those movies. His ability to constantly reinvent his sound throughout the decades is amazing. Very few people that can touch him as far as creativity production value and musical arrangement are concerned. He was the complete package. You will never hear of anyone having to write music for prince.

People sleep on Mike's musical prowess. He was very involved in the musical arrangements in his songs. More than people realize. Had #1 songs in 5 straight decades. Ceelo drunk
Michael Jackson is the 2nd Biggest Selling Artist of All Time! Prince is No.31, Michael has Sold Over 500 million records, Prince 100,million. It's not even close!
Cee Lo is a cool dude. I’ve never listened to an interview with him, his very intuitive and intelligent, especially in the music world! Also, I’ll say this all day long, Michael and Prince can’t be compared. They are too different, their musical choices, ways to approach making music, their desired outcome…. And most of all, I don’t think they really even wanted to compete with each other. I love them both for their own talents and musical genius.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOOK IT DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK QUEEN’S RECORD?? That ain’t no fly shit lol that’s like Lebron taking himself out the game before he breaks a record
MJs talent as a producer and composer gets no mention because of his exceptional singing and dancing. The baseline for Billie Jean? MJ. He basically beatboxed the instrumentation for “Dirty Diana” “Who Is It” , “Stranger In Moscow”among others, and had the instrumentalists in the studio play it to the notes he had in his head. None of those songs even sound the same either. Teddy Riley said the production on the song “Dangerous “ was all MJ. He didn’t play instruments but he was a gifted composer. Many people don’t know that.
I love both MJ and Prince, but the majority of Prince hit songs were written by Prince and he wrote hit songs for other people. MJ wrote his own biggest hits but the majority of his hit songs were written by other people. Also Prince music rated R than MJ’s.
@@ebonix33 Prince made a lot of people stars Prince wrote hits for everybody Michael needed Quincy Jones, Teddy Riley, Rod Temperton who wrote a lot for Michael. Prince did all of those things himself as well for others.
I’m from Athens Ga, I went to school with Trey. I actually went to Danger Mouse’s crib with my cousin back in the day. I remember the rap group I was in we opened up for Witch Doctor and Big Rube at UGA’s Tate Center.
Michael couldn't read music but still could compose music. While he couldn't play all the instruments like prince, his stage presence was unmatched. Mike made it possible for every black artist to have their videos on MTV.
MJ Musical, One (Las Vegas), Thriller in top 200 to this day, Essentials in Top 200 throughout the year, picks up new fans with fans, kids, and grandkids knowing who he is). MJ is a legend. In the same vein: Prince is a legend. Notice that we are the only race that insist that only one can be loved and like. It's MJ or Prince, MJ or Bron, or Pac or Biggie - it's only us and it should stop.
@@wandamanning9198 prince is all over the internet with professional musicians around the world praising his performance and taking notes. not happening with MJ
I'm better at what exactly? Was he a better musician and played more instruments? Absolutely but Prince couldn't touch Michael on that stage. Naw. Get it right. I can't even say one is better. Each lacks a little more in certain categories but I wouldn't say one is significantly better than the other.
Prince is about two months older than Michael Jackson but he sat at home watching Michael on television and listening to his music like he did Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Smokey Robinson, Al Green, Teddy Pendergast, The Temptations, Lionel Richie . . .
Apples and oranges guys. You can’t put these two artists side by side. It’s not fair. Geniuses in true own area of expertise. You can compare the flavor or golden delicious apple to a Macintosh apple. You can compare the flavor or navel Orange to a mandarin. Dance contest maybe Michael Music creativity contest Prince. Then again that’s putting Prince up against anybody really, not just Michael. Who can you measure musically to Prince?
I always said my super hero vocal team would have been Michael Jackson Charlie Wilson and Stevie Wonder. Their stylings all complimented one another to me. ...and comin off thd bench like 5 people Donny Hathaway. Dominance!!
Crazy scared me too. Sounded like Ceelo went to a dark place on that one. Genius. But dark and scary. God only knows what PRINCE saw in his mind when he heard that song.
Mike isn’t even in the conversation. He’s a dancer, that’s it. To me it comes down to Stevie and Prince. I choose Prince simply because a lot of my memories from high school and college revolve around his music and how utterly original Prince’s music is; the same argument oils be made for Stevie.
MJ is without a doubt the King of Pop. Much respect to The Artist Formally Known as Prince but his catalogue is large enough to even be compared to Michael Jackson.
Mike catalogue isn’t his own look at the credits he didn’t wrote produce or come up with his on dance move prince did everything by himself he could go in the studio solo and make a whole album make couldn’t make 1 song by himself that’s what makes prince the 🐐
@@dreedwards6859 Michael Rowe a lot of songs I don't know where people get these information from, He knew all of his melodies all of his harmonies he used his entire body as an instrument as well to Beatbox He could play the drums quite well he started most of his music old-fashioned way with the piano I think you're and he could play the guitar. Michael was running a lot of the Jackson songs quite a bit especially after they left motown you have to remember motown was a machine which is the reason why the jackson's a Michael wanted to leave so they could write their own music. PrinceProduce and played all of his own instruments on his very first tonull albums after thatHe wouldn't develop his own band why do everything when you can get the best Michael did the exact same thing. And they respect to each other very much it is the white media that put them against each other. Rest in paradise to the both of them
@@dreedwards6859 And by the way Mike's catalog goes back to Still town records when they were doing the chitlin circuit he'd been in the business since he was 6 years old Prince didn't really come on the scene until he was 17 with his first album I believe. Is both musical prodigies
Prince is by far a better musician and musical performer. He ran into a lot of bs in the industry like MJ but it was much earlier in his career tho. MJ has the edge on production and presence. They were both child prodigies in their own right. What CeeLo was really referring to was the mechanics and actual creativity.
Here's how I look at it, Michael Joseph Jackson is the greatest entertainer to ever live, but Prince Rodgers Nelson is the greatest singer, musician, song writer, producer, composer, arranger to ever live no-one else is even close to Prince he's my favorite.
Prince was a great musician....Micheal was a great entertainer...Big difference is Prince actually tried to do a dance video....Micheal didnt grab a guitar....
No they don’t 100 years from now people will only talk about the music not the entertainer Micheal Jackson was an entertainer with a host of writers, producers and choreographers and he was simply that and in that right he was a better entertainer but Prince hands down for nearly 40 albums which were HIS music was a master musician and clearly sonically much more accomplished MUSICIALLY than mike would or could even vocally there is no comparison when I see Mike master all genres of music then I would say he’s better clearly he’s not don’t let popularity, music sales and all the hype fool you there isn’t a comparison people 100 years ago won’t base talent on record sales or music video hype they will base it on true talent
Michael doesn't get enough writing critics, He doesn't get enough Korea for playing instruments maybe he doesn't matter 19 instruments but he could play the drums keyboard piano, And a little guitar. Prince only played every instrument on his very first tonull albums other than that he wouldn't got a bandTo play what was in his head same thing that Michael did. Why do it all yourself when you can have the best to do it for you that's just what geniuses do quite honestly. Michael's entire body he used as an instrumentHe knew all of his harmonies all of his melodies, All of this choreography and anyone else's choreography and what they're supposed to be doing. On top of that been in the industry since he was 6 years old and doing the chitland circuit Prince didn't come out15 or 16 maybe 17. Both are geniuses in their own right not one is better than the other Rest in paradise. Unfortunately the whole Prince and Michael not liking each other that is a white media whitewash they respect to each other in huge ways. Yes there was competition They both understood each other, Michael even said that If he didn't do it Take action on his thoughts and ideas that God would give it to him meaning to Prince. I n fact when Michael died, heard by very close friends in that Prince locked himself in his room for 3 days crying
Not hating on Drink Champs or Million Dollar but this hands down the best podcast y’all actually fall back n let the guest speak keep winning homies.., 💪🏾
MJ is the King. Prince is just better. Songwriter, arranger, musician. Pretty much everything to do with a music. And I’m not hating on Mike. I am a fan. Stevie Wonder said it best...If Mike is the King, Prince is the Emperor. Maybe Stevie’s opinion don’t mean nothing. Idk 🤷🏿♂️
Cee-Lo saying Prince is Shazam but instead of yelling Shazam. He yelled BLOUSES and was blessed by the wizards, Little Richard, Ike Turner, Bo Diddley, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Chuck Berry.
Absolutely. There's NO comparison. Prince was the definition of musical genius. He could write, perform every instrument, and produce albums on his own in a studio. Michael Jackson was primarily a singer and dancer. There is no comparison. Prince was so good that he was practically better at playing almost every instrument than members of his backup band. He was THE greatest artist of my generation and probably others. Even now, people are finally listening to his old music and realizing that they slept on so much complexity of sound and innovation.
Mj could also write,dance, compose , and choreograph his dance moves. This is far more close than people realize. In terms of talent alone they are both equal to each other.
@@universaltopics5667 Nope...As a musician, as a creative genius, Michael doesn't even garner comparison to Prince. As a performer, MJ gets props. But...Prince was a level beyond choreographing dance moves and such. (MJ didn't even really choreograph a lot of his stuff. He was tutored by Jeffrey Daniels for the moonwalk, the guy Turbo from Breakin', Travis Payne, Michael Peters, and a host of other people. He wasn't someone like Prince who basically dreamed music, and could go to a studio and crank numerous songs out in the middle of the night. Prince was a musician's musician. He was the artist that other musicians listened to because he could be so creative. This isn't close. Not by a long shot.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 Oh please.MJ is an absolute genius.Could sing like an angel ,compose and arrange and produce hits for himself and other artists , dance his but off and choregraph.So what if Jeffrey Daniels taught him the moon walk.MJ perfected it and branded it.He also came up with many other iconic dance moves.You dont know what you are talking about.
@@marmackk You sound like a fanboy who has very little idea of how the music business or music creation works. Jackson didn't compose, arrange, or produce much for other artists. In fact, Quincy Jones is responsible for a huge part of his success because Quincy, in fact, is the person who actually did the composing, arranging, and producing for numerous MJ songs. Credit also goes to Rod Temperton, who wrote Thriller and some other songs for MJ. Sometimes, when we know very little, it's in our best interest to either do our research or, even better, remain silent when we don't really know the subject matter very well. You should have stayed out of this one. You just embarrassed yourself.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 lol.Firstly I am a female,not a boy.Secondly you are ignorant and delusional.You havent a clue who MJ was and its clear to see.
To y’all saying dumb stuff about Michael he actually produced a lot of his own stuff after awhile , and also is the only man ever to beat box his own song and sing it at the exact same time . Not to take away from Prince

People forget mike as front singer of the j5. They never count that as his career for some reason. Add the j5 stuff at such a young age and its a wrap. People have short memories.
@@jamesway Exactly, Michael had actually 3 careers in the business. He was already called "living legend" in his teens:ua-cam.com/video/oG_3acrqGA0/v-deo.html Prince is also a legend, people tend to claim he's better because he played instruments, created his music mostly by himself and was more prolific in his adulthood but quantity does not equal quality, though. Michael wrote and composed most of his hits. To each his own. Both of them were great
I never understood the attraction to Prince. He had a couple of popular songs but none that connects with the average joe like Michael's. Maybe I'm missing a chromosome that helps a person connect with his songs.
They're both great. Different talents, & skills. Both extraordinary. Like who you like, but don't try to downplay either.

Definitely two different but nah son...Prince was a genius....best of the two. Periot. To each his own though.
Obviously I don’t know shit about music to make that statement .
WHEN DOVES 🕊 CRY SOUNDS BETTER THAN ANYTHING MICHAEL JACKSON EVER MADE!! AND PRINCE MADE IT ALONE. THE GOAT... PRINCE😊
Love that Ceelo MJ Prince Story Good stuff yall #PiKaHsSo
Michael Jackson is the 2nd Biggest Selling Artist of All Time! Prince is No.31, Michael has Sold Over 500 million records, Prince 100,million. It's not even close!
Michael sold 1 billion records
The topic is who is more talented not who sold more records. Rhianna has more billboard hits than Beyoncé but is she more talented ?
Cee Lo is a cool dude. I’ve never listened to an interview with him, his very intuitive and intelligent, especially in the music world!
Also, I’ll say this all day long, Michael and Prince can’t be compared. They are too different, their musical choices, ways to approach making music, their desired outcome…. And most of all, I don’t think they really even wanted to compete with each other. I love them both for their own talents and musical genius.
B High, Cee-lo, and Wicked is a show in itself! #TripleOGz
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOOK IT DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK QUEEN’S RECORD?? That ain’t no fly shit lol that’s like Lebron taking himself out the game before he breaks a record
Kobe stopped his own streak record to please Shaq.
Teddy Riley also said this about Prince on his IG live recently and he worked with M.J. Facts are Facts.
MJs talent as a producer and composer gets no mention because of his exceptional singing and dancing. The baseline for Billie Jean? MJ. He basically beatboxed the instrumentation for “Dirty Diana” “Who Is It” , “Stranger In Moscow”among others, and had the instrumentalists in the studio play it to the notes he had in his head.
None of those songs even sound the same either. Teddy Riley said the production on the song “Dangerous “ was all MJ. He didn’t play instruments but he was a gifted composer. Many people don’t know that.
Michael Jackson All Day I mean Prince Dope as fuck too.
Mannnnn y’all interviews are dope
B High, maaaan keep up the Good Work, I enjoy the show, and you actually let the guest tell their side of the story.
I love both MJ and Prince, but the majority of Prince hit songs were written by Prince and he wrote hit songs for other people. MJ wrote his own biggest hits but the majority of his hit songs were written by other people. Also Prince music rated R than MJ’s.
we all love Micheal but Prince was that dude. Artist, Writer, Producer, Musician & put other groups on respek the purple 1!
Mj did all that and dancing AND Revolutionize music video....but only play one instrument 😂
@@ebonix33
Prince made a lot of people stars
Prince wrote hits for everybody
Michael needed Quincy Jones,
Teddy Riley, Rod Temperton who wrote a lot for Michael.
Prince did all of those things himself as well for others.
@@ebonix33Mike didnt put groups together 🤣🤣🤣
PRINCE performing your song during a show! Wow!
I’m from Athens Ga, I went to school with Trey. I actually went to Danger Mouse’s crib with my cousin back in the day. I remember the rap group I was in we opened up for Witch Doctor and Big Rube at UGA’s Tate Center.
Michael couldn't read music but still could compose music. While he couldn't play all the instruments like prince, his stage presence was unmatched. Mike made it possible for every black artist to have their videos on MTV.
I like them both
Never forget when Mike had a whole army of men body guarding him
The Boondocks episodes with, CeeLo Green was #HILARIOUS! Please go & watch! It you haven’t already!
Prince will see you now 😂😭
MJ Musical, One (Las Vegas), Thriller in top 200 to this day, Essentials in Top 200 throughout the year, picks up new fans with fans, kids, and grandkids knowing who he is). MJ is a legend. In the same vein: Prince is a legend. Notice that we are the only race that insist that only one can be loved and like. It's MJ or Prince, MJ or Bron, or Pac or Biggie - it's only us and it should stop.
This is 2023 please tell me how many people are still talking of Prince like MJ. How Many people still sing prince songs

MICHAEL JACKSON BETTER THAN PRINCE HANDS DOWN
I agree with him about Prince! Prince is truly a GENIUS! UNDEBATABLE! His musicianship is out of this world.
Both MJ & Prince are GOATS. However, Mike DOMINATED the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, & even had another #1 hit in the 2000's. Case closed!!!
How does that make him better????
Literally 50 years worth of #1 hits. Prince was definitely beyond great, but he can't see MJs catalogue
I'm better at what exactly? Was he a better musician and played more instruments? Absolutely but Prince couldn't touch Michael on that stage. Naw. Get it right. I can't even say one is better. Each lacks a little more in certain categories but I wouldn't say one is significantly better than the other.
Prince is about two months older than Michael Jackson but he sat at home watching Michael on television and listening to his music like he did Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Smokey Robinson, Al Green, Teddy Pendergast, The Temptations, Lionel Richie . . .
Cee-Lo Green is a legend...I appreciate interviews where they let the legend talk.
@9:01. He is entitled to his opinion. I remember watching his interview with Lisa Mare Presley & Andy Cohn on Watch Happens…😊
#LoGreen much respect! also great informative interview big ups #b high & #wicked
Apples and oranges guys. You can’t put these two artists side by side. It’s not fair. Geniuses in true own area of expertise. You can compare the flavor or golden delicious apple to a Macintosh apple. You can compare the flavor or navel Orange to a mandarin.
Dance contest maybe Michael
Music creativity contest Prince. Then again that’s putting Prince up against anybody really, not just Michael. Who can you measure musically to Prince?
Prince is a Genius...but Mike is a GOD
Hope this title is a lie. Prince who? Prince Akeem?
It always seems like people just don’t know about Prince. Damn shame. Dude is the goat.
Prince was a great artist no doubt about that but Michael was Great Entertainer no doubt but if both of them got together it would have been LEGENDARY
I always said my super hero vocal team would have been Michael Jackson Charlie Wilson and Stevie Wonder. Their stylings all complimented one another to me. ...and comin off thd bench like 5 people Donny Hathaway. Dominance!!
Crazy scared me too. Sounded like Ceelo went to a dark place on that one. Genius. But dark and scary. God only knows what PRINCE saw in his mind when he heard that song.
Mike isn’t even in the conversation. He’s a dancer, that’s it. To me it comes down to Stevie and Prince. I choose Prince simply because a lot of my memories from high school and college revolve around his music and how utterly original Prince’s music is; the same argument oils be made for Stevie.
I agree prince is better
Nah...mj king 🤴.....and was waaaay more popular and successful....prince was more talented when it came to playing multiple instruments
@@ebonix33 prince better
No competition even. Prince killing all other musicians
Let's relax here he not even better than stevie wonder so I know he not touching mike
MJ is without a doubt the King of Pop. Much respect to The Artist Formally Known as Prince but his catalogue is large enough to even be compared to Michael Jackson.
Mike catalogue isn’t his own look at the credits he didn’t wrote produce or come up with his on dance move prince did everything by himself he could go in the studio solo and make a whole album make couldn’t make 1 song by himself that’s what makes prince the 🐐
@@dreedwards6859 true!
@@dreedwards6859 really he didn't wrote or produce??? You need to do some research he wrote many songs
@@dreedwards6859 Michael Rowe a lot of songs I don't know where people get these information from, He knew all of his melodies all of his harmonies he used his entire body as an instrument as well to Beatbox He could play the drums quite well he started most of his music old-fashioned way with the piano I think you're and he could play the guitar. Michael was running a lot of the Jackson songs quite a bit especially after they left motown you have to remember motown was a machine which is the reason why the jackson's a Michael wanted to leave so they could write their own music. PrinceProduce and played all of his own instruments on his very first tonull albums after thatHe wouldn't develop his own band why do everything when you can get the best Michael did the exact same thing. And they respect to each other very much it is the white media that put them against each other. Rest in paradise to the both of them
@@dreedwards6859 And by the way Mike's catalog goes back to Still town records when they were doing the chitlin circuit he'd been in the business since he was 6 years old Prince didn't really come on the scene until he was 17 with his first album I believe. Is both musical prodigies
Prince is by far a better musician and musical performer. He ran into a lot of bs in the industry like MJ but it was much earlier in his career tho. MJ has the edge on production and presence. They were both child prodigies in their own right. What CeeLo was really referring to was the mechanics and actual creativity.
Here's how I look at it, Michael Joseph Jackson is the greatest entertainer to ever live, but Prince Rodgers Nelson is the greatest singer, musician, song writer, producer, composer, arranger to ever live no-one else is even close to Prince he's my favorite.
Prince was a great musician....Micheal was a great entertainer...Big difference is Prince actually tried to do a dance video....Micheal didnt grab a guitar....
CeeLo now I love you even more!!! MJ had limited range… the purple one has it ALL!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
'EVERYTHING THAT I DID .. DIFFERENT THINGS I WAS TOLD .. JUST ENDED UP BEING FOOD 4 MY SOUL' - 👑CEE LO #REALHIPHOP #HIPHOPLEGENDSONLY
Prince is the best!!
GREAT interview!
Stevie Wonder better than both of em
No:)
Mj better singer...and BETTER dancer....overall BETTER perfomer....❤
What? Prince was not better than Michael. The whole world knows that
No they don’t 100 years from now people will only talk about the music not the entertainer Micheal Jackson was an entertainer with a host of writers, producers and choreographers and he was simply that and in that right he was a better entertainer but Prince hands down for nearly 40 albums which were HIS music was a master musician and clearly sonically much more accomplished MUSICIALLY than mike would or could even vocally there is no comparison when I see Mike master all genres of music then I would say he’s better clearly he’s not don’t let popularity, music sales and all the hype fool you there isn’t a comparison people 100 years ago won’t base talent on record sales or music video hype they will base it on true talent
He tripping MJ wrote and sung a lot of songs plus he’s the best entertainer period ever
Love your interviews❤️💯💪🏾 KEEP IT UP🔦
Michael doesn't get enough writing critics, He doesn't get enough Korea for playing instruments maybe he doesn't matter 19 instruments but he could play the drums keyboard piano, And a little guitar. Prince only played every instrument on his very first tonull albums other than that he wouldn't got a bandTo play what was in his head same thing that Michael did. Why do it all yourself when you can have the best to do it for you that's just what geniuses do quite honestly. Michael's entire body he used as an instrumentHe knew all of his harmonies all of his melodies, All of this choreography and anyone else's choreography and what they're supposed to be doing. On top of that been in the industry since he was 6 years old and doing the chitland circuit Prince didn't come out15 or 16 maybe 17. Both are geniuses in their own right not one is better than the other Rest in paradise. Unfortunately the whole Prince and Michael not liking each other that is a white media whitewash they respect to each other in huge ways. Yes there was competition They both understood each other, Michael even said that If he didn't do it Take action on his thoughts and ideas that God would give it to him meaning to Prince.
I n fact when Michael died, heard by very close friends in that Prince locked himself in his room for 3 days crying
Why the comparison 😕 Prince BIT from Mike.
For example: Compare Thriller and Purple Rain and you’ll see that the themes and demographics are COMPLETELY different from each other.
Eh thriller hit all demographics
@@chrism7163 true basically everyone Halloween go to song
Don't care about the Thriller song but love the video. PURPLE RAIN has no skippers
what are you talking about thriller was bigger then anything prince ever put out mike didn’t have a demographic it’s just world wide
@@dominiquejones3805 hope they heard what u said .. say it louder though no skipping with purple rain … EVER and that wasn’t his best album btw
Prince was Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones rolled into one
MJ is my favorite entertainer and Prince is my favorite musician/producer...I agree with Lo
I feel like I’m in church when B High say “my gawd” lol 😂
That Prince story was almost good as Chappell...."Prince will see u now"...i didn't even ask to see him.....classic😂
Prince was a musical genius On the instruments, but couldn't crank that robot like Mike😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
😂👍🏾
I love Michael but he didn't hit no splits like Prince either now what!!!!😂
No one asked me, however:
Songwriting: *Prince* (big)
Singing: *MJ* (big)
Instrument playing: *Prince* (big)
Dancing: *Prince*
Not hating on Drink Champs or Million Dollar but this hands down the best podcast y’all actually fall back n let the guest speak keep winning homies.., 💪🏾
Million Dollar is garbage to me🤷♂️. Drink Champs has become a version of The Breakfast Club (corporate/industry)
Facts
B-High let's the artist talk and is knowledgeable of the music
MJ is the King. Prince is just better. Songwriter, arranger, musician. Pretty much everything to do with a music. And I’m not hating on Mike. I am a fan. Stevie Wonder said it best...If Mike is the King, Prince is the Emperor. Maybe Stevie’s opinion don’t mean nothing. Idk 🤷🏿♂️
Stevie never said that.. stop.. and I hope you are aware by the way that a king is greater than an emperor
@@thesaintst1851 Type in that line with Stevie Wonders name then get back at me. Something from BET should pop up. I’ll wait✌🏿
MICHAEL 👑
Cee lo really humble dude but I can tell he got tht snap mode when it comes to music.
“But fuck wit me tho ill let a few fly about it”. “Dont test me boy because i about it”....
eye agree, prince iz better..but mike waz/and still iz no doubt tha ultimate entertainer tho, hain'z dine

One entertainer and 2 musicians.😂

Cee-Lo saying Prince is Shazam but instead of yelling Shazam. He yelled BLOUSES and was blessed by the wizards, Little Richard, Ike Turner, Bo Diddley, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Chuck Berry.
Lmfaoooo, “Micheal Jackson bout nine feet tall y’all!!!” 😂😂😂😂
Great interview. And just thinking his verse on Goodiebag was one take is crazy 🔥
Absolutely. There's NO comparison. Prince was the definition of musical genius. He could write, perform every instrument, and produce albums on his own in a studio. Michael Jackson was primarily a singer and dancer. There is no comparison. Prince was so good that he was practically better at playing almost every instrument than members of his backup band. He was THE greatest artist of my generation and probably others. Even now, people are finally listening to his old music and realizing that they slept on so much complexity of sound and innovation.
Mj could also write,dance, compose , and choreograph his dance moves. This is far more close than people realize. In terms of talent alone they are both equal to each other.
@@universaltopics5667 Nope...As a musician, as a creative genius, Michael doesn't even garner comparison to Prince. As a performer, MJ gets props. But...Prince was a level beyond choreographing dance moves and such. (MJ didn't even really choreograph a lot of his stuff. He was tutored by Jeffrey Daniels for the moonwalk, the guy Turbo from Breakin', Travis Payne, Michael Peters, and a host of other people. He wasn't someone like Prince who basically dreamed music, and could go to a studio and crank numerous songs out in the middle of the night. Prince was a musician's musician. He was the artist that other musicians listened to because he could be so creative. This isn't close. Not by a long shot.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 Oh please.MJ is an absolute genius.Could sing like an angel ,compose and arrange and produce hits for himself and other artists , dance his but off and choregraph.So what if Jeffrey Daniels taught him the moon walk.MJ perfected it and branded it.He also came up with many other iconic dance moves.You dont know what you are talking about.
@@marmackk You sound like a fanboy who has very little idea of how the music business or music creation works. Jackson didn't compose, arrange, or produce much for other artists. In fact, Quincy Jones is responsible for a huge part of his success because Quincy, in fact, is the person who actually did the composing, arranging, and producing for numerous MJ songs. Credit also goes to Rod Temperton, who wrote Thriller and some other songs for MJ. Sometimes, when we know very little, it's in our best interest to either do our research or, even better, remain silent when we don't really know the subject matter very well. You should have stayed out of this one. You just embarrassed yourself.
@@AlexanderNevermind888 lol.Firstly I am a female,not a boy.Secondly you are ignorant and delusional.You havent a clue who MJ was and its clear to see.
Prince is the GOAT of all GOATS
To y’all saying dumb stuff about Michael he actually produced a lot of his own stuff after awhile , and also is the only man ever to beat box his own song and sing it at the exact same time . Not to take away from Prince
U can’t compare MJ and Prince their both in a league of they own just like u can’t compare Pac and Big 🤷🏾♂️
Nah Pac was waaaaay better than Biggie, Pac’s music had a message and it spoke to people. If Pac was alive, the whole damn world would be different.
@@locklife4336 I agree with u I’m more of a Pac fan than Biggie fan all day but u can’t deny the delivery,flow and wordplay Biggie had that would be str8 hating that why I said u can’t compare them both they had their own lane
@@trippaveli82 Biggie had, delivering, flow and wordplay BUT so did Big Pun. Pac was able to separate himself from everybody because of his content and his wide range subject matter.
@@locklife4336 I Agree with u Pac had a song for anything and anybody whatever u vibe u was feeling or what every u going through Pac had a song for that he spoke to the people
Nah, Prince is my favorite but MJ really is the GOAT
Why are we still compare to Michael Jackson and Prince they both the a musical genius and we need to keep it that way
I like prince but Mike is the best ever
Agreed Man.
People forget mike as front singer of the j5. They never count that as his career for some reason. Add the j5 stuff at such a young age and its a wrap. People have short memories.
@@jamesway Exactly, Michael had actually 3 careers in the business. He was already called "living legend" in his teens:ua-cam.com/video/oG_3acrqGA0/v-deo.html
Prince is also a legend, people tend to claim he's better because he played instruments, created his music mostly by himself and was more prolific in his adulthood but quantity does not equal quality, though. Michael wrote and composed most of his hits. To each his own. Both of them were great
@@jamesway wow that is so deep. That's it a amazing factual comment.💯💯💯💯
Cee Lo - you are spot on about Prince and his legacy. Prince is the true artist.
I agree with the Prince take
Both men were supreme musically. Mike on the other remains unfuckable. Had mfs fainting, moonwalking, jerry curls and poplocking stop the comparisons.
In other words Put Some Respect on Cee Lo name.
Prince was the total package, musician composer performer and still mysterious!
I never understood the attraction to Prince. He had a couple of popular songs but none that connects with the average joe like Michael's. Maybe I'm missing a chromosome that helps a person connect with his songs.
Once his music clicks, you fall in love with it. He's a musical genius!
