Prince - Mother Popcorn [James Brown Cover] (Mace2theO Mix) - Live Purple Rehearsal Jams

[@zroy9263]

My dude PRINCE keeping it slick, grooving, and nasty! Eric Leeds was also a funky cat that always kept the solos and grooves in the pocket! The rest of this band was also stellar! Sheila, Levi, Miko, Dr. Fink, Atlanta, etc. This was one of Prince's greatest bands ever! Big props to the funkiest man who ever walked on the face of this earth. The Prime Minister of the Super Heavy FUNK, the incomparable Mr. JAMES BROWN!

[@Humble_Legend]

I love when Prince gets into his James Brown moods lol.

[@shelbyblue61]

Yeah he knows how to funk it up, but I love his Jimi Hendrix moods better.😎💜

[@geraldbrown6829]

I would love to play the original James Brown besides the prince version they are both funky I'm playing it over and over it's hot

[@markprater1]

Prince's rehearsals and demos sound like mixed masters...

This is some SUPERFUNKYCALIFRAGISTANKY FUNK goin' on here!!

[@forensicaccountant259]

Once upon a time, James said Michael had a better grasp of the funk. I firmly believe he changed his mind before he left here.

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

He loved MJ since he was a kid. Mr Brown said he didn’t like Prince act as it was too much sex no no no… Miles Davis on the other hand said he liked Prince better no doubt at all. Any musician wouldn’t have any doubts.

[@sunnyday751]

This is fascinating to me. I find it hard to believe that anyone, let alone James Brown himself, would have rated Prince’s funkiness as being perhaps not as good as MJ’s. But there you go. In my humble opinion Mr Brown was wrong 😊

[@AXEL-jt2cd]

He did, James name dropped him and said he was "out of sight" in 1985. Prince redeemed himself for the Godfather after that incident. 🔥

[@juliuspekar7620]

Prince knew how to pick the right people. My favorite move he made was bringing Maceo Parker in. Prince, I didn't how much I needed to look forward to whatever it was that you did next until you were gone. Emptiness has been filled by young artist that will always bring a new kind of different. Not like you, no way better than you, just different. She is an "only one" Grace Vanderwaal

I once went to a Prince concert at the Jones Beach Theater & Prince did a cover of JB’s vamp on his Live in Augusta, GA album. My date at the time thought it was a new song. I had to convince her that JB did this almost 30 years before; that’s how tuned into James Brown he was!!!👊🏾

[@lionroaring7021]

Ridiculous

[@Steve-cm2ys]

If you're as good a singer as your FANBOYS say you are then SING. This was several minutes of that cringey horn crap he used as filler at his shows. I'm a long time fan but the man put out a LOT of crap music.

[@Mace2theO]

Just FYI - it's a rehearsal. While he may have put out a lot of crap (IYO), he did not "put" this out

[@Steve-cm2ys]

I already know it's a rehearsal and never said he ""put"" THIS out to the public. I'll rephrase. Yes, IMO, intended for the public or not, Prince created a lot of great but also a lot of crap music. Don't pretend that's some wild stretch as prolific as we all know he was. Unless you're looking to get the fanBOY tag. (Prince, Led Zeppelin, and Freddy Mercury fanboys, the absolute worst.)

[@Mace2theO]

@@Steve-cm2ys Fair enough point. Not sure why you are threatening me with a 'fanboy (no caps necessary)' tag, just because I tried to clarify something

[@Steve-cm2ys]

@@Mace2theO I simply followed the point you say/agree is fair enough with an "unless". It wasn't intended as a threat and you've agreed with my point, so you shouldn't feel threatened.

[@Mace2theO]

​@@Steve-cm2ys Cool. btw, I acknowledged your point, I didn't say I agree with everything you said. He did make crap but I obviously like this rehearsal because i posted it - you have a right to not like it. Think I was just thrown by 'unless/fanboy' stuff if I disagreed.
