Prince had an insane work ethic!

Prince was perhaps one of the most motivated and prolific musicians in modern history. His productivity and desire to create were unmatched!

I think the statement by Eric Leeds says it all. Out of all the recordings he made with Prince, about 5% made it to our ears. The vault contains a treasure trove of unreleased music that will hopefully see the light of day.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah, I wonder how many incredible songs are in there unheard.

[@pendafen7405]

Eric Leeds inspired me to pick up a flute when I was teen, purely for his part in the song 'Power Fantastic'. I think it's the finest, most sensitive and subtle and raw flute work I've ever heard in a pop song.

[@RBHADD]

this is exactly what I want the netflix documentary to do...highlight his work ethic.

[@musical-motivation]

Oh I didn't know there was a Netflix documentary coming out about Prince! I'll have to keep a lookout!

[@renaldsunset]

How could they do it ? Don’t you know they need to sprinkle a little bit (a lot) of gay stuff in everything they produce 😂

[@TheRealDarth_Vader]

​@@renaldsunset 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@King-Vis]

This man's brain was out of this word!!!

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah for sure!

[@jaymcconnell3840]

That work ethic showed when he played. So effortless and in command. Beautiful to behold.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah - a great example of the potential we have if we focus our efforts fully

[@grahamblack1961]

It's one thing I've noticed about any highly successful people I've known, they have enormous energy and a huge capacity for work. They can just last longer than everyone else. Combine that with Prince's exceptional musical ability and you have a genius. It's reminiscent of Mozart, he only lived till he was 35 yet he wrote so much music a whole system had to be invented to catalogue his work.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah - a quote I really like is that the only thing that separates prolific creatives from others is an intense drive to create. As you say, this pushes them to work harder than others and perfect their skills

[@robertmcowens6136]

I truly believe Prince had thousands of number one hits.. his Royal Badness...

[@musical-motivation]

yeah I wonder how many gems were never released

[@adamthomas1246]

When I say he was one unequalled...I mean...If you study music...he was and still is the best that every lived.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah it's nuts - I'm thinking about making a follow up video on prince

[@billymatters8129]

It can be unhealthy... rumors are he would spend weeks not sleeping.. ... managing band,accounting,mixing,producing,live-shows,choreography,accounting,various instrument practice,soundchecks,composing,writing - 24 hrs non stop

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah I hear that! I focused on the positive, but toxic productivity is definitely a thing as well on the extremes

[@pendafen7405]

He also tended to be overly harsh and cruel and duplicitous toward his employees, forced people around him to abide by stringent religious/cultist mores, and also treated women he worked with like disposable sex toys to exploit. He was a fine and talented artist undeniably, but he could also be a horrible man.

[@RestingVirgoFace]

No 1 can spent weeks not sleeping if u seen the longer clip of this you'd know they all said he thought sleep was important and had a bed in his studio. If u sleep from 6am to 1pm it's still 7 hrs of sleep

[@seviregis7441]

Fascinating. Cool to see all those talented and skilled people who worked with Prince daily.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah they seem like total badasses

[@Thespeedrap]

I wish I would've worked with Prince you can tell he was very versatile and creative and not tied down with the nonsense mumble stuff.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah absolutely

[@austinstyles6393]

Dude was unreal!

[@musical-motivation]

Exactly - I haven't found another artist with this level of intensity yet. Maybe Michael Jackson or Ed Sheeran

[@magicdog5623]

@@musical-motivation I dont think michael was that prolific...what was he doing between 82 to 87? 1 album. If you said frank zappa or julian cope, id say yeah, good comparison especially in the breadth and diversity and sheer eccentricity

[@musical-motivation]

@@magicdog5623 Thanks for the recommendations magic dog - I'll add Frank Zappa and Julian Cope to my list of other prolific musicians to research and maybe post some content on them :-)

[@PRAISLEY]

​@@musical-motivation Michael. Them two were the only ones with most creativity and stand out during those times.

[@CNP-rn3gd]

I don't think there will be anyone in my lifetime who can equal Prince

[@musical-motivation]

prolific is an understatement for him

[@simonturner1]

I think Buckethead has surpassed him now.

RIP

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

Even if he was still alive today, he wouldn't have EVER retired.......🙏🕊

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah he had that creative juice!

[@THR-zf6ti]

Insane is the right word: that's why he died young.

[@dazeja]

Prince wasn’t an perfectionist when it came to creativity. He was a virtuoso. Many songs on SOTT were done on a broken mixer board and he left it as is. He would not stop his creative flow.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah I love that style. Definitely what I aim to do in my music project but I'm nowhere close

[@DrParanoia198]

nice video man. work ethic probably the most important thing, especially when you meet roadblocks and keep pushing through.

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah, that's very true. After shows I'm exhausted - I cannot imagine doing a show and then going home to write music the whole night. Just next level stuff w prince

[@robertmcowens6136]

And remember everyone.. we only got to hear 5 percent of what he thought we wanted to hear,

[@musical-motivation]

I wonder if I'd like some of the deleted songs more than the popular ones

[@BreadSlocum]

She said it. About not having disdain for other musicians. Prince set the bar So high, now I am not so interested in other musicians work. I hear them & go, meh...

[@musical-motivation]

Haha I know. Im a musician as well. Some stories are inspirational and some are humbling. Im never going to be able to dedicate myself to music like prince did. But it's still interesting to see what we are capable of if we go all in

[@philliamproject8113]

Sae this exact clip on another channel yes the man was just brilliant in so many areas!

[@musical-motivation]

Yeah unfortunately this and other videos had to draw from the old content available on Prince. Hopefully you found this particular arrangement of clips helpful. The videos on smaller artists on my channel might give you a more unique viewing experience.

He went so hard

[@gussfish8670]

When the burn out does happen you'll get sick to your stomach from fatigue so many amateurs who "don't do it for the money" will never experience burn out because they don't work at it hard enough, you can burn out doing rewrites but there again amateurs don't generally rewrite material because they have an unrealistic view in terms of quality of their drafts and demos.

[@reallyu812]

I wish Sunny T. would do a master class if he hasn't already!

bro did you get this from make art not content??

[@musical-motivation]

Several people have pointed out that there's a lot of overlap between these videos. I did draw my favorite content from one of their videos and other interviews I could find on KZbin. You might find my other content more unique as there is less overlap from the original interview sources.

[@aviator_king]

i have seen this video before but it wasnt on this channel, so this channel stole another creator who stole Prince content

[@musical-motivation]

Prince has passed so unfortunately it is impossible for me to post fresh source content on him. This is simply a compilation of interviews that I found most inspirational. You might find some of my videos on less well known and researched creatives more unique and helpful

[@onesong2001]

Just like Michael Jackson 🤣🤣😂

[@onesong2001]

but seriously....nice video.

[@musical-motivation]

Haha I'm doing a full video on him at some point too. With MJ it's an interesting different viewpoint of intense perfectionism compared to prince being 1 take and fast

[@tigersteffi]

Are you stealing content my g?

[@musical-motivation]

Prince is dead so all new videos on him are 'stolen'. I picked my favorite prince videos I could find from KZbin and made a mashup of them. If you want more unique videos that contain less used material then check out my other vids

[@tigersteffi]

@@musical-motivation brother you literally stole this whole video from the Make Art Not Content channel and put a black and white filter on top of it - all you did was add your little voice memo in the beginning and edited out all the segments where the actual host is talking.

[@musical-motivation]

@@tigersteffi I thought that pulling my favorite parts from those interviews would be helpful. That video draws content from non-original sources. This was one of the first videos on my channel and I've since done more work to make my content more original.

[@SamuelMantode]

Isn't this same exact video done by "Make Art Not Content" ? Talk about work ethic....lol

[@musical-motivation]

There might be overlap in original sources. I put these videos together based on my favorite clips from previous interviews. There are other channels that likely use the same source content and pick their favorite clips as well. Sorry you didn't get much value in this video - perhaps the other videos on the channel provide a more unique experience to you.

[@maelinjoli]

it's not normal for a human to have that kind of energy, it's almost as if he received an upgraded ''download''. another hint that we probably live in a super sophisticated simulation

[@musical-motivation]

Haha yeah for sure. A burning desire to create for sure

Anything is possible when you on drugs😂😂😂

Drink your school, stay on drugs, and don't do milk

keep telling yourself that.

Only a jealous nobody would say something like that.

[@seviregis7441]

He didn’t rely on or need drugs to be a prolific musical genius, he was born that way.

[@FC-xc3zy]

@@seviregis7441 Of course he was talented. Not trying to take anything away from the man. I love his music. But he died with drugs in his system. Furthermore, his ex allegedly said he was on coke for years, although he fired band members for being on the said drugs.
