(Prince's Friend) Reacting To My First Video On YouTube

This is Prince's Friend, and today I'm reacting to my first video on KZbin... the one that started it all. It's not as cringe as I thought it would be, but it's fun to elaborate on things I said even back then and poke fun at how bad I was at youtube.

Thanks prince friend 😊for the upload !! Always enjoy your videos

[@PrincesFriend]

Appreciated James! Trying something different!

I love that Mom listened to Prince music and that you had a reaction to it. Talking about the mid 80's reminds me of those times - As per my previous comment -"where were you or what were you doing when this came out or when this happened"? Thank You Eloy.💜💜

[@B.Jewels]

You come up with neat ideas i like you reacting to a throw back video of yourself lol i remember when i first saw your video it wasn't this particular 1 because i don't recall seeing a crib. I was sort of new to YT at the time i watched videos and stuff like that but never commented on anything up until Prince passed away i was grieving and watched anything that had to do with Prince because of his untimely passing. I remember seeing "Prince's Friend" pop up i actually thought you were a personal friend of Prince lol🤣 i don't know what was going on with me back then i also thought that "Peace Loving Prince was a psychic🔮 at first lol Anyway i realized you did not know him personally but it didn't' matter i really liked the way you talked and your content was really interesting and it got better and better. And your videos helped with the grieving, And as you explained in that video Prince liked to think of all of his fans as his friends. We are all Prince'a friends. I can't wait with the next one.💜

[@PrincesFriend]

Woot! Glad you dug it! I’ll have to get another reaction going soon

[@B.Jewels]

@@PrincesFriend That would be great i'm really getting into theses reaction type videos.

[@PRATERVXEX]

What’s up dude?!? Hope all has been well. In studio currently, glad to see an upload!!!

[@PrincesFriend]

thank you so much! I'm in my studio too, go fig.

My first ever album of Prince would have to have been the 1989 Batman album. I was 8 years old and I’d gotten it on a little cassette tape for my birthday. I knew all the songs even though only 2 of them Partyman and Trust were properly used in the movie. It was later in my late teens that I really started getting into his music. My mother unknowingly had started the ball rolling by getting me into Prince.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

I haven't seen your earlier videos, but I will when I can. You do great video content and commentary!💟💜

Hi Eloy😄you going crazy in the womb to Sexy Dancer is totally understandable 😂😂 I honestly think you’ve changed so much, you were quite serious 6 years ago and you are so confident and fun now.

[@PrincesFriend]

awww, that makes a lot of sense and I'd agree with you in that case. Back then I did seem very serious about it, but a lot of that might have just been nerves and trying not to mess stuff up in my videos. Nowadays, I don't really care if I mess it all up! lol

[@artfull334]

@@PrincesFriend best way to be lol. It’s good to hear you talk about your Mum💜

I'm alil teary cuz I'm actually watching the review in the bedroom I grew up in, and played my first album For You in... 50+ now and caring for elderly parent in original family home❤🙏❤. And thinking of all the posters, lace, fingerless gloves, Letterman's and baseball jackets covered in Prince pins etc.. that spiced this room and my life... thanx so much for being His friend, and our friend🙏 🎶🎶O(+>🎶🎶

[@PrincesFriend]

oh, thank you for your comment. I love how connected we all are, and if my video made you smile, then I'm golden. 🤣

[@diongreenlee4158]

Bro, Welcome 2 America is AWESOME! And I totally feel you on the some of the album covers on my...The Dirty Mind cover Was Not only on my wall but it was above my bed... I didn't care besides, the girls loved it! And this was me growing up in the '80s in Detroit.

The first time I remember hearing Prince's name was in junior year of high school when we were assigned a group project on a specific decade and had to present as an important figure from that decade. One of my teammates suggested that I be Prince since she thought I resembled him a bit. I ended up dismissing her suggestion because I didn't know anything about him and went as Michael Jackson, whom I was more familiar with at the time. It was until later that year (around September 2018) that I decided to check out his music on a whim. Of course, I started with his most popular and well known album, Purple Rain, and I immediately fell in love with it. After that, I went through and began listen to his other albums starting with 1999 (and then chronologically from For You on, if I remember correctly). Once I was on the Prince train, I couldn't stop. I dressed up as Prince for Halloween that year, and I got my first Prince album on vinyl (Purple Rain) for Christmas (the Prince vinyl collection has grown exponentially since 😂). At some point early on in my Prince discovery, I stumbled upon your channel. You have been instrumental in my Prince journey and I don't think I can ever express how much you and your channel mean to me. You are the reason why some of my favorite Prince albums have become my favorites. Anyway, I am just beyond grateful for you and I am excited to continue my Prince journey with you this year and for many years to come. 💜

[@PrincesFriend]

Awwww, thank you for that Theo. Seriously, you got me tearing up over here. Thanks for sharing your story too. It means a lot to have you here in the community. 💜

[@hausoftheo]

It wasn’t until*

[@hodgesmuzick70]

Man it's so good to see you back! You said Thursday and I was here for it lol. Love the video. Prince lived his life as if God said, you will die one day and you need to put out as much music as you can because no man knows the day or hour when there time is up. I heard For You first and I remember how it was such a sweet and mellow sound. And Baby is still my favorite Prince song from that album. Again, welcome back!

[@PrincesFriend]

I'm gonna try to stick to Thursday, yes! this one was rough, cause my week has been HARD, but I got it!

[@hodgesmuzick70]

I pray that it gets better for you in every aspect of your life. Whatever you are dealing with, God knows and he loves you and will see you through it. God bless you brother 💜💜💜

[@PrincesFriend]

Thank you bro 💜

[@lancel71]

Congrats on the success of your channel! I wish you much continued success!

[@dorothyedwards7225]

My first album would have to be Purple Rain -the cassette. De-missing the long-about story of me listening to his music b4 this. It's interesting of the timeline of when his music came out and the timeframe of our age when we heard &/or bought his music.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

I'm happy about your special Christmas.

[@PrincesFriend]

it is a great childhood memory for me and I was happy to share it 💜

So you remember we sent you videos of how we got into prince a few years back? I’m wondering wether they cud be edited together how ‘Princes’s Friend’s Friends got into prince!?.

[@samsimpsmusic]

I just missing two of Prince's albums, Planet Earth and 20ten is the albums I'm missing.

[@PrincesFriend]

Two great albums

[@randy5880]

This a fun walk down memory lane

[@PrincesFriend]

I thought so too 💜

[@Vikki-Waiting-victoriagrace]

I constantly have a quote if yours from one your videos back in 2020 I think “why would you listen to any other music when you can listen to prince music’ (paraphrasing) 👌🏻👌🏻

[@PrincesFriend]

That does sound like something I’d say 😂

[@PrinceLeaker]

What service did you use to edit back then?

[@PrincesFriend]

iMovie

Well, Jamie Foxx and Chris Rock (maybe) are bigger "friend" than you, Eloy. But c'mon, they are famous, that doesnt count. You look great with the fro back in the day.

Oh totally! I'm the third tier down I think, they can be on the 2nd lol... and thanks for the compliment. I sometimes want to grow it back out, but it was SOOOOO much hair. 🤣
