@MrChuckD .. the number another summer (get down) Sound of the funky drummer Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got soul!

@ThatEricAlper Prince - $ youtu.be/kNBZ9dSzECM?is…

What's a song that mentions money, buying, or spending?

@MrChuckD @checktherhyme1_ @SebastianAvenue Hear hear, I'd include Yo! Bum Rush The Show with those two.

@checktherhyme1_ @SebastianAvenue Agree Depends on age though. Id put Nations and Fear up on anything that taught and moved the world. Hiphop is age relevant. My 2 faves are RunDmc King of Rock Raising Hell and Runs House back to back to back

Tribe are the only artists with an argument for having 2 top 10 albums.

Name one best Guitar 🎸 player of all time but it can’t be Eric Clapton

@CaseyRain @PaisleyPark 🤣😂

THEY JUST ANNOUNCED EL DEBARGE IS GONNA PERFORM AT CELEBRATION 2026!!! @PaisleyPark 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Prince

@Akir_a997 Prince

When someone says “Musical Genius” who is the first artist that comes to mind, i'm making a playlist

@DCO754 He does - he just doesn't realise that the immigrants now requesting residency are going through the same hoops he did. The change is that previously they were not able to.

Does this moron not realise he’s a ‘migrant’? apple.news/AwtLHUpObRk2AI…

@JVMonte2 Prince's Batman

What’s a non-self-titled studio album with no title track? Example: Physical Graffiti has no track of that name…your turn 👊

@iamslickrick01 He did indeed, those two 83-84 shows are special though, from there on forward he was a superstar.

@EPvBommel He’s done enough shows there for a box

I keep telling y’all. First avenue 84 > first avenue 83. IDGAF how “historic” august 83 is. I’ve seen both.

@CaseyRain "....according to the Prince estate" 😄 I'm not one to criticise, I'll just wait and see what comes. Having no expectations means you won't get disappointed either.

There we have it 😎 The first release of a series and a vault album. Maybe folks can simmer down now...... (Tongue in cheek, I respect all opinions, I just personally get tired of constant negativity, but that's not to say y'all can't feel however you wanna feel)

@danny_tickner @prince Ah okay, I didn't know there were two versions! :slaps face:

@EPvBommel @prince Only on the video version

@prince . Just saw a video on YouTube but seems to have gone? 😢

@radiator9990826 @iamslickrick01 @NightEthereal @YouTube Exactly.

@iamslickrick01 @NightEthereal @YouTube Well if we are ill informed, that’s on them. They should communicate with us

Prince Estate calls Fans 'Well intentioned and ill informed' youtu.be/XsJZDu57GEA?si… via @YouTube

@DCO754 @LondellMcMillan @CharlesFSpicer The already digitized vault tracks include the whole Parade era so wouldn't really tell us much. From that recent interview I picked up he apparently had selected people to continue the digitizing of the remaining vault.

already ready to be released by the previous estate. It makes me wonder whether any work has been done on the vault since @LondellMcMillan and @CharlesFSpicer took over. The Parade Deluxe set allegedly coming should shed some light. As of now, I don’t have a lot of hope.

Maybe someone can ask @LondellMcMillan directly tomorrow at @PaisleyPark.

@16barsgame Probably Kane

@EPvBommel Yo! MTV Raps had a generation locked in 📺 But now we need the official answer 😂 Kane or PE?

Be honest… First hip-hop music video you remember seeing on TV. Not your favorite. Your FIRST one. 👀📺

@16barsgame This is ages ago, I believe there were openers but I can't for the life of me recall who they were. It may have been a local group like Dope Syndicate.

@EPvBommel Yo! That's a hell of a show. Was it just KRS or any openers?

Be honest… First rapper you ever saw perform live in concert. Not your best but your FIRST. 👀🎤 Where was it?

@iamslickrick01 My friends and I went in 2018 and I feel that was the last real good Celebration the Estate managed to do. I do not regret not going to any Celebs after that.

I said it in 2024 and I'll say it again about Celebration. Pilgrimage and community are great. But the main draw and truly the only draw is Prince…and Paisley Park and it felt like there was so little of that. 🧵
