    fun fact Kendrick was not aware about this performance Prince asked him to join him on stage so everything that you saw & heard was on the spot and they said that Kendrick was a bit nervous because we all know Prince is a big inspiration and knowing that, that makes the performance even more special.

    I grabbed keyboard so fast when you said Prince wasn't poppin!! lol And when you said he was past his prime is false. He was better than ever!! people equate "prime" to sales and spins, but prime means you are on the top of your game musically. And he was at his peak at that time, and beyond.

    Back story: Prince was dropping 2 albums on the day this happened (Sept. 30, 2014) "Art Official Age" & "Plectrum Electrum". 2 celebrate the release of these 2 albums, Prince held a concert at Paisley Park streamed on Yahoo & invited Kendrick 2 perform. But 1st Kendrick was in Prince's studio 2 record "Complexion" with Prince on it, but Prince's imput never got on the song because Prince & Kendrick was in the studio talking about the subject of the song. But when it came time 2 perform Prince asked Kendrick 2 come perform that song "Whats My Name" (from the album "Crystal Ball") & Kendrick just freestyled his verses. Shortly after "To Pimp A Butterfly" came out Prince did an interview with a magazine saying "Kendrick has something 2 say & its pure. Plus, u aint taking 'Alright' off my Playlist". Even though Prince didn't get on TPAB, he loved that album.

    He KNEW he was REAL, FLAWS AND ALL! Kendrick has that GIFT too! The encouragement felt in Prince’s music, is similar to Kendrick’s pen,
    “ I “ ( just as one example )
    At the end of the day, if listening to these two ARTISTS , help us look in the mirror, and realize we’re NOT too broken to contribute to bettering society, IS there a GREATER Gift?…nope t.d-Rogers

    The Prince was poppin more line was some of the cringiest stuff i heard he sound like Drake fans saying that. Prince WAS the trend & Prince was intentionally as he called it "not popping" becuz he was staying away from the mainstream audience. Prince didn't care about any of that world yet Prince's Tours were still some of the biggest tours ever, No one has still been able to beat his 21 nights at the 02 arena. Even MJ'S bodyguard said in MJ'S last days he wanted to break Prince's record. That tells you something. Prince wasn't obsessed with media & magazines he was creating meditation music, jazz albums & fighting for his rights & other artists rights. If Prince wanted to create radio hits he would've done so. We've seen him do it countless times in the 80's, 90''s, 2000's with Musicology. Even Prince's Musicology tour in 2004 did better than most of the poppin new artists. This is why MJ fans/mainstream bots always annoy me. Have you not learned from this Kendrick battle at all? lol Greater sales will never define the greater art & people who really love music can care less about sales.
    Prince was known to be a genius business man by literally the entire industry so he knew if he wanted to make radio hits he could cook up whenever. Prince wasn't interested in that stuff like THIS video proves that. Prince would literally work with youtubers that inspired him like Shelby J even if they had a hundred views. He loved music that much, so Prince was never doing things for publicity like MJ did. Prince also was known to turn down so many artists that could've made him "poppin" for that year Well if he cared for that why would he turn them down? Because artists like Prince, REAL artists can care less about "popin" & like Prince said "i am the touch" He created a lot of the music what we see today. People like Prince are forever current. That's why you see so many reactions from even my generation today on youtube.
    Prince played over 14 instruments, wrote ALL his music & hits for other artists. Could dance, sing, rap, produce, arrange, engineer his own work. Prince also woke up an ENTIRE industry of artists to own their masters. Alicia Keys, Nas, DMX, all have the same story of Prince telling them how to beat the corporations. Prince is truly the greatest & NO ONE touches him. Only mainstream bots & MJ fans start talking about "poppin" MJ literally had 20 producers/writers in different countries. His own nephews said that in their 3T reality show. That's why here Prince mostly stayed in the background playing keys. Prince let others shine & wasn't obsessed with fame & numbers. Even tho TMZ still followed him everywhere even in his ladder career. They were both geniuses with two different approaches to music.

    I can tell you don’t know much about Prince. He was ALL Male and fully masculine. We women know real men and he was the MAN!
    Btw this song is a Prince song…it was released back in early 90’s.
    You should dig into Prince’s catalog to find out why he was so revered!

    Look up the video of Kevin Garnett telling the story of him playing basketball at Prince’s house.

    Prince was straight and as a woman. I saw the feminine and masculine side, and plus, he was fine AF. His speaking voice was deep, and he had "swag" (for lack of a better term) until he passed in 2016. Let's not even get into his talent.
