------------------------
Morris Day stopped by for his first-ever interview with VladTV, where he spoke about meeting Prince in high school and joining his band. From there, Prince and Morris formed a friendship and later recorded the first Morris Day and The Time album with just the two of them before forming "The Time." Morris went on to speak about Prince and Micahel Jackson's competitive relationship and how Prince went to Michael to squash their beef. Elsewhere in the interview, Morris spoke about filming Purple Rain and how Rick James hated Prince, which you can hear more about above. - Розваги
Morris Day came off like someone who's aged with grace! No bitterness. No negativity. Nothing but love for Prince. Kudos to Morris! You the man!
Dude I was thinking the same thing. Most people would aggrandize themselves and exaggerate to try to seem cooler and stuff but Morris obviously don't give a fuck which is the coolest. Plus he's not even being weird about the whole interview being about somebody else. This is awesome.
Good to hear from you, saw you at the Roxey years w
Great
That’s right
@@andrewkeith3912 great how Morris worked with Prince enjoy there music
Morris Day is more classier than ever! He knows how to speak with dignity and he looks so clean, fresh and handsome. His music is so uplifting. I love Morris Day.
Me too I always thougt he was hella cute. Im glad that he still looking so good he aged nicely
Still Love you still a BIG fan
Morris Day really told it like it was. This is the only person in Prince's organization that told the exact truth without bad mouthing anyone. He is a classy stand up guy. I will buy his book. Thank you very much Mr. Day.
I'm watching this after watching Apollonia, so what Morris saying about Prince, same sentiment I've heard from Apollonia, she accepted and love Prince they way he was, especially about the $$$. Life is so ironic , Prince was so tight with his money, never wanted to pay people he worked with, $300.000 for Apollonia and she almost died twice, broken pelvis from motorcycle on top of her, while Prince driving, 2nd
Hypothermia from the the cold lake, she said, she heard them saying, we're losing her, Prince was crying saying don't die, while him and a lady hugging keeping Apollonia warm. While Prince made over $50M.
Apollonia wrote 2 song wasn't including in the sound track either.
Yet he died and everybody came out of the wood, claiming for Prince money, he wasn't able to bring his money with him.
What you described is how a real man carries himself.
Wirh dignity and class. ✌️
He portrays humbleness & loyalty, which simply shows when your am honest stand-up guy
The Time And Prince Michael Jackson is of the ones I got for Hand pocket 1987
The Time And Prince Michael Jackson is one ☝️ the only thing 1999
Morris Day is a cool dude. Prince did him dirty on a few occasions and Morris never held any animosity towards him. This interview made Morris looked down to earth and level headed. He and Prince had a lifelong history in music and Morris was transparent about everything. It’s good to see Morris Day still doing well.
Let's not forget that Morris was a pain in the a@@ during the filming of Purple Rain, Morris was rebelling against the project. It is fair to say that both had issues, still they pass that and remain friends. Love them both.
I am pretty sure Prince regretted the bad things he's done to Morris ..
@@LaBlusera10 -NOTTTT😫😣🙄🤔🤨

@@marygale-manuel5514 maybe You are Morris .. You know best
Kids...this is what a real musician and entertainer looks like.
Morris Day is the Truth!
That part
👏👏👏
I am totally impressed with Morris Day. What a down to earth, humble appreciative guy. I have a new respect for him.
same here
He’s a Sagittarius! Coolest guys around
@@ELvis348 saga's rock!!
Vlad, man...we all love and miss Prince, but let's hear more from Morris Day! He's an accomplished artist and entertainer in his own right.
Mark, man....Prince & Morris grew up together & are forever connected personally & professionally -- In fact, we probably wouldn't be watching this interview otherwise...Naturally the convo & interview are going to revolve around & go back to Prince. Plus we all know that Vlad loves beef situations & digging into potential old wounds
…lotta people don’t really like to interview with this VLad dude.. Realistically, he does that whole “low-key dig” shit that a lot of rappers don’t get down with. You CAN interview someone and not do that kinda shit. It’s all in the delivery. Some people have it, and some don’t…like this guy. Morris has ALWAYS been a humble and “vibe” kinda dude….to me and what I saw of him through the years, at least.
@@Tarantulisimo because, leave it up to some folks, all they want is the sugarcoated versions of things and never the bad and the ugly, I guess. Smdh. This is not about digging into old wounds just for the sake of doing so. It's about putting things into context to understand better why certain things happened and how they happened and for getting a better understanding of who all these people are who we put up on pedestals. I guess some people would only love to hear about Kurtis Blow's version of Prince's "generosity" to paint him in the most benevolent light but would rather that Vlad not bring up how he treated Morris Day and his band, right? FOH!!
Yeah......Hella disrespectful to have me on only to keep asking about another dude. Even if he is dead
Morris Day- Beautiful smile, graceful, won't say a bad word against Prince. Thats humble and the Lord will reward him for that.
54:10, says a couple bad words about prince starting here
@@subreel12000 I wouldn't consider that as bad words in the sense he's obviously not trying to disparage Prince. If you don't like negative portrayals, don't make them true. Having someone fly out to work with you and cancelling them last minute then not wanting to reimburse them is a bad look that only he could have prevented. I'm guessing if he didn't care enough not to do it, he wouldn't feel too bad having it recounted.
@@subreel12000 as Q&A\\aaaa\qaqqaqaqaqa\\~
I HOPE SO, CAUSE U DONT DO FRIENDS LIKE THAT, I BET MORRIS WOULDNT TRADE PLACES WITH PRINCE ESPECIALLY NOT NOW?.......SMDH🤔🤨😥🙄😮
You clearly can’t read between the lines
Morris Day will always be the coolest brother in the room
Unless Jerome is there...#notevenclose
Tyson Miller Absolutely. Love me some Morris Day. He has natural comedic talent too even when he sang. Handsome man. Very articulate and intelligent also.
Truth
Tyson Miller Lando Calrissian wishes he was as cool as Morris Day
Sooo True, a living Legend in his own lane. A lot of young people don't know that P. Diddy " Piggybacked" off of Morris and Jerome. That's where Fonzworth Bently came in. P. started putting his " Royal Servant " on stage with him. Made Fonzworth famous. Morris was always talented. It was just a Perfect moment in time. Prince and Morris elevated each other. There is a difference between coat riding and no talent. In Morris case, They complimented each other. Living through these times it's obvious. Both Truly Talented. Putting Jerome in too. That's what made these bands so great. The comrodary amongst them. Remember everybody.
Just a few days after Prince's death, my daughter, a flight attendant, had gotten a Prince symbol tattoo on her ankle and when Morris Day was on her flight, as he was deplaning, she showed it to him and he hugged her and told her that it was REALLY COOL and he also took pics with them.... Such a warm and approachable man!
SO COOL! , My wife was visiting Brazil for work she took our three daughters, My eldest daughter was and still is a music nut. She looked at folks as she was walking down the aisle and Jimmy Jam was in First Class. She politely asked may I take a picture..... This Monster of generosity took the camera at the time ( Not a darn iPhone) and shot maybe 7 pictures and my daughter had no idea the fellow that was sitting with him was Terry Lewis until we developed the film and I said Baby that’s Terry! One of the nicest men she ever met. She follows his Career to this day. The man was very nice to a gawky sweet kid from New Jersey. She never forgets this.
❤
That’s totally cool. He seems like such a great cat in this interview. His book was amazing too.
That's awesome
💜
I grew up jamming to his music . They had the late 70's - 1980's locked especially in the south . All you ever heard was Prince , Michael and The time with a splash of Roger Troutman , Gap band , Luther , Atlantic Starr , Midnight Starr , New Edition , Funkadelic and Stacey Lattisaw . Who ever heard the song " Magic man " ? The best time ever !!! 🎼😉
I Grew up in the 90's and everything you wrote is pure facts!!! Till this day Charlie Wilson is my favorite live singer....
Don't forget Rick James!😀👍
Hell yeah man I miss those days
@@mastag5717 Can't forget about my main man Rick
@@chermainebigby5238 I agree, you got good taste😉
MORRIS DAY in purple rain trying to talk to Appollonia: "...either somebody put something in my drink or you the finest..." has got to be the coolest singular player moment in time!
WHY is this man still FINE AS WINE after all this time?!? Lort hammercy! So smooth & intelligent. This was a very informative & interesting interview. Thank you! Took me right back to Middle school!❤
I was delighted to see him in
an interview a few years ago and realized what a well rounded individual he is. I wanna go on a date with a man like him. Easy to talk and listen to
Me too! What a great guy & so talented!
Him and Jerome still bust out “the dance” during jungle love. They both still got moves.
Vlad ask Morris what was his greatest moment with Prince? -
How about asking The Legendary Morris Day what was his greatest moment of HIS life and career
I thought I was the only one thinking that?
@sperrotta91 not trying to separate the two but ask him about him. Its called common courtesy. Is 91' your birth year? If so, then that explains why u said what u said.
@@rosiew4260 Duh!!!!
Typical Vlad. Does this with nearly every interview.
First time I heard a person say 'Clout' was by Morris Day in Graffiti Bridge. This man is everything.
Morris Day is a good storyteller and very entertaining to listen too, good sense of humor and down to earth
I'm 50. Always been a fan of The Time, Morris Day, Prince, Jellybean etc .. old school cats who could actually WRITE, SING, and play music. Real musicians. Morris a legend in the game. Thanks for the interview ... my man has aged well.
True indeed. Morris is the apitomy of COOL. I wish he had included more stories of his early times hanging out with Prince.
@@dannailhagans8954 I'm going to buy his book. I'm hoping he will reveal all of this in detail.
@@alexandradillard2077 -ME TOO😁😁😁
I feel ya......my wife says I'm old, at 42 and that's all I bump is this old school shit.....I hate modern noise pollution
Music is dead now
Morris Day is down to earth. I met him and Prince and Larry Graham the same night. Prince never said a word, Larry was cool, but Morris was super cool. Larry actually gave me some bass strings that he actually used and signed my GCS C.D. MGM Las Vegas at Studio 54 in none other than 1999. My best friend actually got to talk to Prince for a few minutes which was incredible. What a show!
Mr. Day, your acting was superb in Purple Rain. I think you, Jill, Clarence Williams III and the music saved the movie. You in the hallway after you asked Prince, "how's the family?"
You were hurt by your own words and the audience knew without you saying so. Thank you for taking Prince's direction so well by keeping your hand in your pocket. Thanks for such an honest and fun interview.
My Mom meet Prince & called him Roger at a Studio, cause my Step Dad knew his father & she showed him my picture, I was 15urs old & he couldn't believe that I was into him & went to his concert. She said that he didn't say a word when he saw my picture, just smiled.****
Wow that was mean
Not just anyone can post what you posted. Cool Post.!!!
Morris Day..., the original king of swag.
*oddmodd* I wouldn't say "original".
Morris Day is kind, sensitive, thought-provoking, and is quite an articulate good looking man with his own unique sense of style and class. I love hearing him in the long-form interview. Great stuff!
I think this is the best Prince Related Interview I have ever seen. Truthful, not gushy, seems very keeping-it-real vibe.. Thank you
Yup
Morris Day seems like a pretty cool guy. Honest, articulate and you can tell he really enjoyed the times he had with Prince .
Morris is still the coolest dude! He seems to be unbelievably truthful too. No need to make up stuff about Prince as he's had a amazing life himself... I wish Vladimir would've asked Morris more about himself rather all the questions about Prince. Morris is STILL the man😎
I agree. At times, I felt the interviewer bulldozed right through one question to the next. He really missed some golden opportunities to follow up and dig deeper with Mr. Day.
Mr. Day is an absolute class act, an amazing musician, and a very talented entertainer. Thank you for sharing some of your experiences!
Hello my name is Vlad. I know nothing about the history of you guys.
I love Morris Day! It’s refreshing seeing he really is a classy guy. Loved the interview Morris.
CRAZY THING ABOUT PRINCE,MICHAEL JACKSON AND RICK JAMES IS THEY ALL DIED IN THEIR 50'S.THEY DIDN'T LIVE A LONG LIFE IN THE END,BUT WE'LL NEVER FORGET THEIR TIME ON THIS EARTH.R.I.P. BROTHERS
Well... I saw Prince when he was on tour in Houston, Texas many years ago when his Soft and Wet single was a hit song. Rick James was the headliner and the concert to go to at that time. Prince was the opener with Bootsy's Rubber Band coming on second!! Imagine that today??? Prince, Bootsy, and Rick James on one show!!! Concerts were soooo good back then and were affordable. Prince was not received well at all at this show. Everyone was aghast at the attire that he and his band wore. Andre Cymone had on see through pants, Dez had on rock garb, and Prince was dressed like...Prince. No one knew what to think of them at that time. Only Soft & Wet was familiar to the crowd and the rest of his set people were booing loudly and chanting We Want Rick (Rick James) especially when he started singing Still Waiting. My friends and I loved Prince even at that early age. A superstar in the making...
Only Morris Day can still pull off wearing a orange plaid blazer 😎👍🏿

Well Morris you are part of the Funk Music Legacy, The Time has been from the get go. Your path matters you are in the lineage and i''m so happy that you are well and things have worked out. Hell I thought all you guys were Prince acting and in the 80's you kinda had to be, but you and Andre are real brothas and I appreciate that. What I would give to hear one of those cassette tapes of the three of you rehearsing and jamming, man. You guys really put together your own brand and it WORKED.
Morris sounds like such a down to earth, level headed cat. Most drummers are cool people. He brought so much to the Purple Rain movie. He was so funny. Lots of personality.
The movie wouldn't have been the same without Morris!
You can tell that there was way more untold stories and tension between Morris Day and Prince , he just didn't wanna get into all the sticky details and maybe also out of respect because Prince has passed.
One of my favourite interviews ever. Another music industry / artist history journalistic gem.
The Time is an example of "everything happens as it should" Jam & Lewis fired (freed) become the greatest producers of all time, Jesse Johnson had a stellar solo career, Morris Day solo career and acting, Monte & Jellybean became great producers among other things, Jerome did some acting, contributed to The Time' s stage presence as well as production things but image for a moment if they took the lesser road and complained about everything where would they be???
Great to see you Morris, you're humble and fun and true to yourself. And you're no joke to listen to. Long life to you, man, and keep on bringing the funk :)
Morris is a solid drummer too he started out as drummer & it shows when he lays down a groove 🎼🥁☮️
This is by far one of the best interviews I’ve seen on VladTV. Morris Day has a great personality. And is very engaging. 👏🏾👏🏾
Love Morris. He was so cool 😎 when he sang . He had a sarcastic swag to him which I just loved. A real original.
Morris Day what a class act purple rain the movie wouldn't have been as great as it was without Morris Day and the Time and that's a fact love his music and his style he's a bad motha no doubt.
Please the movie was totally about the music. None of them could really act except the "father" role. That movie would have done fine with Morris, it was ALL about the music.
I've seen Morris Day & The Time performed live in Sacramento. One of the best shows ive ever seen! GREAT interview!
A TRUE LEGEND... GOTTA RESPECT HIS "COOL"
Ck Keidis gotta!
LEGEND!
The Time is a natural treasure. I love them.
You know he`s wearing a pair of Stacy Adams!
Lol I can see that
You know it!!
FACTS!!
Because he is C.O.O.L
I am wearing a pair of Stacy Adams wathching this!
This is a true legend with or without Prince. I know Prince created this band but, they had their own style. Just cool and classic. He brought something out of them. The Time has some classic timeless albums
Only 3 or 4 but they are all priceless!!
I love how Morris has obviously been hurt by Prince, but Morris still speaks so very highly of Prince.
Morris been low key dissing Prince Throughout these interviews. Ya'll really think people would care about Morris Memoir without the mention of Prince?
I don't think he's hurt but I do think he feels betrayed considering these guys have been friends since childhood and I am sure Morris thought when he put The Time together that Prince would let those guys write and produce for themselves which never happened.
Prince was a talented guy no doubt but as a friend, he wasn't very good to Morris. Vanity told a story that the reason she broke up with him was because of his controlling nature and she didn't like it and told Prince that but he wouldn't change so he ran her off as well.
I'm sure he's still a bit angry about certain things, and, assuming he's telling the truth, Prince did shit on him on a few occasions. But the fact is that had it not been for Prince, Morris would have never become a star and achieved success in the music industry. Had it not been for Prince, he probably would have spent the rest of his life working in that Montgomery Ward store in Gaithersburg, MD.
Morris became too reliant on Prince. Prince gave him his start which should have been enough. I mean look at Jam and Lewis--they knew what time it was
@@TRACEWORLD2 Great point!
To be fair for everyone bitching about this being a prince interview, Morris literally titled his book “ a princely life” LOL there is no conversation about Prince without Morris Day and no conversation about Morris without Prince. End of story.
I second this,
Real talk.
True!
Prince is the reason Morris is known and he would say that.
Morris Day Mr Sagittarius ♐... Always the truth teller
RIP to my mom and she thought Morris Day was cool. He was the break out star in purple Rain
Both "Prince" and "Michael Jackson" were so great, because they were shrewd and perfectionist!
Morris day is music royalty and I grew up listening to this guy..one of the coolest brothas alive...love this guy
Joseph Chambers u ain’t lying, he cool 😎✌️
COOLEST FRONT MAN EVER!!!!!!
Joseph Chambers man but he does act so jackass.
You ain't got to go home but u got to get the hell out of here😀
He seems truthful, sincere and very real.
It's great that Prince's people are keeping his memory alive 🙏🏽🙏🏽👑👑
LOVE MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME. I'm sad that Prince didn't treat them right when it came to the money. I'm glad that they still do shows. God bless them!!!
All my respect and admiration to Mr. Morris Days. I can tell by this interview how humble the man is. All he had for Prince during this interview was good complementing words. Thank you for all that great music from the good old days.
The best days are old school music in this time
I love the Time also,@Purple Rain ☔☔💜💜💜 Let the truth be told , you're looking Good Mr Morris Day 💜 love the early 80's music 🎶🎵 don't understand this New generation 🤨🤔 have of it don't understand 😱🤪
Great interview. Morris seems very down to earth and rather likeable.
I hope to be as fly as Morris Day when I'm his age! Cool✌🏽
You need to hire a sidekick right now then... so you can tell him “Dave, bring me a mirror. Ain’t nobody bad ...like me”
@@Stevenc1970 Good one! But he still Got It!!💘
You need a cook. Gino Scraggagachi or something.
Man relatively twice as old as Terrence Howard, and relatively as good looking as Terrence?!!!!!!!!!! And much cooler.
Kevin Lambert facts!
Morris just keeps getting more valuable as a person as I get to learn and see what kind of human being he really is!! We already know how gifted he is as a singer, songwriter, dancer, entertainer, actor, etc. But, boy, who he is as a human being as I'm beginning to learn and see in him just amazes me and I have so much respect and admiration for his character and heart. What a great man he is!! His talent is just extra!! You inspire me!!
Morris Day - Still as cool as ever !! What aa great open and honest interview - Loved it !
I just wish Morris Day saw a better financial windfall, sounds like he could have been treated financially better.
Facts💯💯💯
Prince definitely had a cut throat side to him.
You could buy his book if you’re honestly worried about it. That is sort of why he did this interview.
True but if he saw that Windfall back then during his drug use he probably would have been dead Prince ironically may have done him a favor
Exactly my thought! He deserved better.
Morris , I loved you then and I love you now. You are truly a class act and you kept it 100 without demeaning the Legacy of a great man who had flaws. Life is real and Karma truly exists.
A class Act! He represents a special time in my life with his music. Great memories!
Now this is a better interview. I'm glad Morris mentioned Andre Cymone, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Alexander O'Neal, St. Paul, etc. The Minneapolis sound goes well beyond Prince, there were so many others who was part of their family.
Morris looks fantastic and more handsome than ever. 💕💕💕
Watching this great interview with Morris Day what a cool and humble guy. I have been listening to The Time since I was 8 yrs old one of my first tapes I ever had. As a kid in 1984 watching Purple Rain Morris Day was the villain of the movie always messing with Prince. Watching this interview in real life Prince was the villain always fucking Morris Day over his whole life! Morris Day I wish you the best in life and never stop making great music.
Morris Day a Legend . Rock the hell out of the concerts I must say it was a great to see Morris & prince @ Coachella Fest.. totally Legends
When he said he was cool (back in the day) ....he did not lie! his energy came off very enlightened. thankful, happy, humble, and laid back.
Great book. I finished it in one day. Highly recommend it. I’ve had Prince, The Time, Vanity 6 and Sheila E playing nonstop on my IPhone since.
Always interesting to hear the "inner workings" of the entertainment industry. Morris Day appears to be down-to-earth and real. Awesome.
Always and forever that one
Absolutely! Very professional! Love Morris Day!
Morris Day is a class act. This is one of the coolest, smoothest brothers in the industry. A real Legend.
Morris Day is impressive! He deserved better compensation for his efforts.
Damn who's interview was this Prince or Morris Days. Vlad didnt give him his just due. Prince is a icon but Morris Daye is a legend in his own right. Vlad should've shown him more respect
MORRIS IS TALKING ABOUT HIS BOOK AND HIS LATE FRIEND PRINCE. DONT WORRY MORRIS WILL HAVE HIS TIME!
Benjamin Stevens, I agree ONE HUNDRED PERCENT!!!! Man! Too ouch! However, Morris handled it well. But I thought the interview was billed as Morris Day being interviewed, solely. Yet, I guess, this is Morris’s opinion on Prince and Rick James and other musicians.
I am glad Morris Day got his opportunity to tell his side of the Prince & Morris story. I never knew how crappy Prince had dealt Morris until now.
I'm surprised they didn't mention Morris's acting career. A very nice interview. People can see how cool and real a man like Morris Day is in this video.
1981, seen prince,Roger and Zapp, The Time in Hampton Va. One of the baddest concerts I ever seen
I've seen the same concert and Rick James came too Rick James was the Headliner every time here in Jacksonville
Morris Day did an amazing job acting in Purple Rain in my opinion. He was definitely a natural. Very talented.
Real talk. I'm gonna take it further and say he stole chunks of the movie
Well he was playing himself so it couldn't have been that difficult for him to get into a character all his own
@@DeTriniJam there was still a script he had to follow. It's not like he wrote his lines.
@@WhineyOne But he did tho lol, you must didn't watch this whole interview because plainly states that he and Jerome both rewrote their lines in the script to make it feel and sound like its really how they would've said it.
That's closer to improvisation then it is to following lines in a script, in my opinion.
@@mmafan3 That's how the movie was meant to be that's what you call a protagonist and antagonist, he was the day to Prince night. his parts in the film were personally my favorites (next to the lake minnetonka scene of course lol)
It’s weird seeing Morris Day speak like a regular person. I don’t know why I thought he talked just like his character in Purple Rain. 😂
That's a testament to his acting chops.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing 👍
lol, that was part of his stage gimmick.
His voice reminds me of Eazy-E's
Whaaa Haaaaaa!
His book is , AMAZING!!! If anyone enjoyed this interview, the book is like "CRACK!" Can't put it down!!!
You
I still my "The Time" album and remember the day I bought this- Love Morris- classy guy as always!
Prince gave Morris everything. He took him from behind his drum kit (he was originally supposed to be the drummer), gave him his personae, instructions on how to rock that, gave him all the songs and the rest is a wrap. Morris was so stressed out about being thrust in front as the singer that Prince literally told him to just "be coo'".
Right!!
He wouldn't allow him to do much, so
.. What a nice guy, seems really down to earth and good people.
Excellent interview. I’m reading his book. I gained greater respect for Morris Day.
No matter what went with on, he in this video did not trash Prince.
This dude was one hell of a entertainer
Morris Day is as cool as they come
Ice Cream Castles was such a dope and underrated album! I still have the LP in my vinyl collection. Big up to MD & The Time!!!
Wow Morris is very humble and very relatable! Thank you for his interview
what an articulate well spoken individual, never mind the musical talent... prince's frankenstein or not, morris day epitomizes and personifies "cool" !
My GOD! What an amazing INTERVEW!! The best by far! I have seen so many talks with Morris Day, even met him at a few clubs while he was performing and he always seemed a bit out of place and maybe just a bit too much into his character/persona? He rarely seemed to be real and just down to earth it seemed? Here he seems totally real and giving it his best disclosure of his history and experiences. He really seems like he's just being his true self. A really straight forward (No BS) conversation. Its truly good to see him like this, he seems like he's come full circle with his past and present life experience! Amazing interview!
All Light Skin brothers should thank this Brother. He was the reason they got all that shine back in the 80s day! The originator! Lol🤣🤪I'm just messing ...I'm a cocoa brown brother but got love for all my brothers!💪🤜🤛

Real player.
Not completely true ...
@@PoliticalFunk007 Al b Sure?.lol
Will all due respect to Morris, I’m sure he gets tired answering Prince questions all day.
Most of his success is because of Prince. He wouldn't of titled his book that way. Also, I think he has no problems with telling folks how cold Prince could be.
It doesn't get any bigger than Prince. You can't even expect to be NOT asked questions about stuff like that if you were fortunate enough to have known him. Prince created an entire genre when nobody else had even heard about who he was. All these guys moved and shaked as a result of that genre. It is the sole reason many of them are who they are. They are inseparable in history and legends in their own right because of it.. Prince's story is their story. Even moreso now that he Rest in Peace and these guys are still here. It is what it is.
Depends on who is asking the questions 🤔
I definitely remember those songs he mentioned! I started listening to the time when I was about 9. But in the 2000's around 03/04 he did a song with Suga Free called " You get what you pay for" off of Suga Free's album called the "The new testament"(04). It has the usual Suga Free formula....comical and ruthless! A classic album!! I always thought they had a musical rivalry against each other, but I was wrong but they definitely did music together having good and bad times. Prince is creative and soulfully while Morris is more happy and comical in some of his music. It was good that they had a love/hate relationship with each other. The bond was there. Glad that Morris is still around doing music! Rip 🤴!
Anthony Mcmillan yeah that Suga Free track is 🔥 man they are a perfect combo! Pimp shit 😎
Great interview...Morris Day is still sharp!!!!
Who would have thought that Morris Day was so articulate and down to earth? Great interview.
Why wouldn't he be articulate? Smh
@@FeliciaQueen17 Because he created a professional persona that is comically vain and shallow, which doesn’t exactly lead one to naturally suspect that that he is so articulate and thoughtful. So it could be seen as surprising that he is thoughtful and articulate, which he clearly is and is a compliment to him. Don’t be so quick to be offended.
@@billyzoom1 Don't be so quick to judge.
@@billyzoom1
The fact that you don't see how offensive your comment is, is what makes it more offensive. Stop offending smh
@@phai470You are ridiculous.
Don’t pretend to want to have a legitimate discussion when you are simply attached to your need to be offended. I tried to give a respectful reply to clarify, yet you’re hung up in trying to put me in my place.
I suspect you heard a rattling noise when you shook your head. Enjoy your sanctimonious life of manufactured outrage and telling others how to live their lives.
I’m reminded of a Mark Twain quote. “Never argue with a stupid person, as they’ll pull you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
So I’m out. What a dope.
I gotta say, that Morris Day has to be Princes most true and loyal friend. Mr Day is a true artist, and just a plain good human being. I listen to this interview, and he is far from the role he masterfully portrayed in the movie "Purple Rain"...I can't say enough about him, articulate and honest....thankyou for sharing your art with all of us!
I got into Prince because of the Time. Prince always said that the time was always just him and Morris. That's why he objected to them using the name later. He was a dick, but he had his reasons. I don't understand how you could be religious yet treat your friends like dirt.
Cruel and claim Christian.. hmmm sounds about right!

Totally agree...He talked about the industry treating him like a slave but yet does the same thing to his so-called friends which helped him make his money.
H~
Goes hand in hand.
That's the difference between just religion and a real relationship God .
The Jehovah witness religion is completely different from Christianity. I have researched the Jehovah witness religion extensively because one of my lifelong friends became a Jehovah witness and will no longer talk to me because I am Christian. Not only is it sad, it’s heartbreaking. 😢😢😢 if any of you decide to research the Jehovah witness religion for yourself, I think you will find it quite surprising what they believe.
“The Bird” is the most underrated songs of all time.
“Come by my house tonight. We’re recording” Too funny.
I don't know what's funny about it... maybe I'm just a music nerd but I say this all the time xD
I used to love to hear that.
I remember when I first seen him perform on Moesha as a kid. I was like who is that!! I had never seen so much swag!!
Why does Vladimir keep asking this musical legend questions about another artist? Disappointed VLADTV
I agree it was a little over the top about Prince both great both legends but I thought it would be more about Morris
cuz he sucks lol he's a guy who's getting off on being the guy who interviews people as opposed to just being in awe of interviewing THESE PEOPLE... He's got no insight and it's mostly tabloidy and heresay...he responds with "Okay." and "Oh, Absolutely." Dull stuff and - omfg he just did the "Ok" things again... I'm outtie. F this lol

Oh. And The Stick and The Walk. It's hard to narrow it down to five, but I did not like The Bird and Jerk Out.
it's weird i only like 2 songs by the time 777 & gigalos, but i still went to see them in concert
Walk yr body was fun
I always been a fan of Morris day ever since the beginning . He was one of my main influences coming up as a kid and I started playing guitars and basses and was in a metal band back in the 90s and here I am 30 years later and still playing my bass . It's pretty cool that someone from a whole different genre of music can influence a metal head like myself . I seen purple rain a million fuckin times and I can go word for word on that whole movie
Best interview ever! So humble, and I’m anxious to buy his book. Will always be one of my most favorite artists.
