Chris Rock Interviews Prince in 1997 ⏪ MTV Rewind

@Festivus agreed. When Prince gives his explanation of "The Dawn" it seems like Chris' instinctive reaction is to laugh, but then he looks terrified at the thought of laughing at Prince. 😆

[@ricileigh88]

It's refreshing. He really cared about the answers - not just running off questions like most interviewers do.

Keep in mind by ‘97 Chris Rock was HUGE. He was riding high on the “Bring the Pain” special. It got him a book deal, HBO talk show movie opportunities etc. that’s how he got this.

[@santacruz7455]

Yeah right, he is a total tool. He did not even get the message in Min: 3:12.. Prince was telling him that he had been sexually abused as a child when the mother remarried. Chris Rock does not understand a word and is even smiling...

[@xtrm2009]

More like "I gotta clap this dude somehow"

[@williams.vincent4235]

Chris Rock in my opinion did a really good job of interviewing Prince, seemed well prepared and asked a lot of really good questions.

[@elchatodeoro1]

It was because Chris was a really big fan of Prince, and he knew what exaclty to ask, just like a fan interviewing his idol.

[@santacruz7455]

No he did not. Listen to what Prince said beginning 3:12 Min. This is a hint that there has been sexual abuse in the family when the mother remarried. Nobody understood what he was saying with the birds and the bees and Rock did not either, he just moved on with his questions..

[@sliceserve234]

Chris is slaying this interview, really dialed in to Prince. He started of with some sensitive subject matter…androgyny, etc. Prince seems humble and thoughtful, and appears he doesn’t get offended easily

Because Rock was his friend and a fellow artist and he trusted someone that wasn’t trying to profit off of what he said.

[@santacruz7455]

Sorry, but Rock, like most of the watchers, did not understand what Prince was telling him Min. 3:12 ; this is obviously a hint to sexual abuse within the family when the stepfather came into the picture,,,I mean: "learning birds and bees the hard way? And this had an influence on his sexuality?" Oh god...

[@santacruz7455]

Sorry, but like the rest of the watchers Rock did not get what Prince was telling him 3:12 Min: learning the birds & bees the hard way when his mother remaried? And that this had an influence on his sexuality? What he is actually saing is that he was sexually abused as a child within his family.

Prince really helped Chris out in this interview and made him look better. That's awesome. It's clear Prince had a lot of respect for Chris and elaborated his answers to help the interview. I remember watching this interview when it was new and I don't remember it being this rough. This is the most down to earth I have ever seen Prince. Really great to see these two showing great respect for one another. That's cool. Also where's the Michael Jackson collaboration question?

This is probably the best interview (most candid?) I've seen from Prince ever.

I love the smiles as Prince is answering Chris’s question. You can tell he is enjoying their conversation. You can see a mutual respect and admiration.

Because they are fellow artists. Prince feels like he’s not just someone outside of the creative field trying to sell papers and magazines off of him.

I think this is one of, if not the best interview I've seen of Prince. For me, even in shades, he seems to drop his defense a bit to be accessible, as one would be with a friend. For Chris, this reminds me of his HBO series, The Chris Rock show. He shows skills that go beyond his comedy.

[@cbond1c113]

These are some surprisingly hard-hitting questions. Normally, in a Prince interview you can tell that they were versed in advance in regards to what questions 'not to ask' as opposed to which ones 'to ask.' This interview seems comprised of all those questions that would normally fall into the category of 'questions not to ask.' I think that Prince chose this moment to allow that level of inquiry with Chris Rock, which shows how comfortable he felt with him. "Damn, I miss this man!"

Except for the part when Rock in Min 3:12 did not get at all what Prince was actually telling him: he had to learn the hard way bout the birds & bees when his mother remarried and that this had an impact on his sexuality... which means: he was sexually abused as a child. Nothing else. Chris Rock reaction: he smiles and continues with the next question, he is a tool...

[@Vanity-v9c]

Chris Rock was very fortunate to be able to say he interviewed Prince!! From what has been told, he didn't normally allow himself to be interviewed!! There will never be another musician and artist like Prince!! He played multiple instruments and very well!!! He composed, arranged, and produced his own music!!! How many can actually say that? I think when Prince realized how valuable he was, the record companies recognized he was a force to be reckoned with. He wasn't going to allow himself to be manipulated and coerced into signing shady deals. I am sure he upset a lot of executives when he chose to follow his own path and do his own thing. Hence, the creation of his own label!! I have much respect for Prince for owning his music and not allowing the sharks to take a bite out of his creations!!! His freedom to do what he enjoyed and to perform with intensity is definitely missed. He created real music playing many of the instruments himself. He was an amazing artist who is definitely missed!!! RIP Prince!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Chris you nailed this interview. I have never seen anyone interview Prince this way. Prince seems relaxed, happy and open to elaborate on all answers. You rocked this interview. You nailed every question. Thank you for giving us this memory of this great man.

I do truly miss prince. Times were so much better back then.

My face hurts from smiling so much at both these people. I was watching gen z react to watching Prince in concert for the first time earlier. Its crazy...the talent and power. It doesn't seem human. I call it magic. Prince is so special ❤

Prince is such a beautiful person. May my fellow twin Rest In Peace.

What a fantastic interview. Great answers and mad respect from both artists.

Great questions! It felt like Chris really put thought into asking intelligent and deep questions that draw on his own experiences as an artist as well as on his love for Prince's work.
