Before Prince died he said that the media blew up the so called rivalry. He has great respect for Michael and even sung one of Michael's songs in a concert.

Both Michael and Prince were Icons PERIOD!!! they opened doors. Trail blazers.

Prince performed with many artists like Beyonce, Lenny Kravitz, Janelle Monae, Tom Petty & Steve Winwood & Jeff Lynne, etc. He would often sit in & play with musicians during concerts & shows. Both Prince & Michael Jackson were one of a kind, unique in their own way, truly miss both of them 😔😢

“It’s another thing when you hear it from the source.” What is presented hear is not direct from the source. The source would be Prince and Michael not Quincy. How would he know that Prince was waiting to run over Michael and LaToya with a car? Not buying it.

I need to hear prince rendition of bad desperately

Prince's legacy is best the way he left it.

Both were Kings. MJ was more popular but i think a lot of people dont realize how greatly talented Prince really was. He was a true musician 🙏🏾

Keep in mind, Quincy Jones is a notorious liar. Take what he says with a grain of salt. Prince isn't here to have a side to the story, so it's null.

Prince and MJ never had a rivalry, Prince said so himself. They both have respect for each other. This Prince and MJ rivalry BS have got to stop. It never was. It was the music media started this BS!

Two great artists gone too soone, but they have done and give all they have with great passion, respect and honesty down in this earth. their legacy is there and no one can surpass it...they made history.

A collaboration between prince and micheal would have been dope.

If you really think about it, Prince was in a genre all on his own. He may have written songs for other artists but he almost NEVER did any collaborations. This made him one of the most, if not THE most unique stand-alone artist in modern music history. Paved his own lane throughout his career. He always gave praise to other musicians that he digged (including MJ I’m sure). But his originality was always unadulterated and his inspirations were always internal. Won’t be another like him for a long time.

i would love to hear Prince' version on Bad....

footage from tavis smiley interview he said that Prince locked himself away for three days when Michael died. so there must have been respect there.

I love them both because they were both geniuses in their own way. A great loss for music! ♥♥ rip MJ and Prince!

5:56 I 😂 so hard my sides hurt. Cannot believe Prince waited outside to run down Michael and Latoya. I tried telling the story to my mom and I couldn’t even finish I was just choking with laughter. 🤣 🤣

All this "rivalry " but when Michael passed prince stopped his band from practicing went to his room and stayed there for a few days...

Lol someone said Prince is like Michael Jackson's Evil Twin.

Prince and Rick James had a bigger beef. Rick James hated Prince's guts.

just listened to the podcast-thank you so much for posting a link. that was wonderful.

Truth be told most musicians hated Michael Jackson. Slash from guns and Roses who worked with Michael on the song give in to me explained it this way. He said he had never experienced anything like it in his life pure genius and he understood why many musicians hated Michael they simply could not understand how he did what he did. Haters keep on Hating

Prince was originally going to be on To Pimp A Butterfly

Prince's legacy does not require Kanye, Kendrick, Jay-Z or anyone else. His place in history is secure.

Hilarious! Thanks for making this :)

I think Prince's legacy is as he intended it. Celebrity collaborations for the sake of expanding commercial success was not his style.

Michael Jackson = Goku (innocent loving, never gives up) Prince= vegeta( tough. challenger, badass)

lol thanks for posting this. A great reminder of what made them both great and the seemingly sibling rivalry they shared. May both these legends rest easy, with all our love... Always

Prince legacy is prefect the way it is. I loved Prince. May he Rest In Peace.

Prince wasn't too keen on Quincy Jones. I don't trust this story because no one else is around to back that story up. LaToya Jackson said on CNN THE DAY THE NEWS BROKE that she felt awful about Prince's passing because it was like losing her brother all over again. She had nothing but props to give him in the interview. If he loathed the Jacksons that badly I don't think she would've done that interview. And Prince said it was a healthy rivalry.

I think Prince would go well with The Roots & Andre 3000

Just Loved your video! greetings from Brazil!

This was sooooo good!

Quincy instigated a beef between them. He used to play Prince albums for MJ to get him going. He said he brought the 1999 album to MJ and kept gushing on and on about it, trying to get MJ's juices flowing. Quincy was angry at Prince later for skipping We Are The World and just contributing a song to the album instead. Prince didn't wanna sing but said he'd play guitar instead. Quincy was pissed. I think Quincy had a secret desire to produce an album for Prince. He once said Prince was a genius but he thinks he works too hard doing everything. Writing, producing, composing, arranging and performing everything himself. Quincy said Prince was taking a bit too much on his shoulders. I'll bet he would've like to see HIS name on a Prince album.

Prince's legacy is great as it is. Prince is a university when it comes 2 music. U can study & learn something new each time u listen. However, let's not 4get that there's so much music in his vault. It's already said that he has enough material in the vault that an album can be released each year 4 an entire CENTURY. There's no telling who he may have collaborated with. 4 the record, he collaborated w/ Eve on "Hot Wit U", Pharrell on "Greatest Romance Ever Sold (remix), Kendrick LaMar on "PretzelBodyLogic (remix) & there's a live version of him & Kendrick as well. He collaborated w/ Gwen Stefani on "So Far, So Pleased". U gotta dig deep because there is a lot of material he released while alive that many people have 2 catch up on.

Prince was the Master of Music… he did it his way!!! It is an honor to have lived in his time…the greatest Musician to ever walk on earth.

The first line in the song is "your butt is mine!" 😂 😂 😂 Prince was a whole fool!

Rather than worry about some petty bullshit, how about we just agree they were both great artists in their own right, and leave it at that?

I wouldn't believe anything Quincy Jones says.

This video is amazing! Fantastic content and answers some big questions that have been floating for years. BIG UPS!

I wanna hear Prince version of I'm Bad remix for Camille. Lol... No disrespect too the 2 icon's RIP lmao

Quincy makes Gene Simmons look like a choir boy here. It's so easy to talk junk when the other person is not alive to defend himself - I've seen Prince play Michael Jackson medleys as a tribute to him after he passed in 2009. "It always hurts to lose people you love" is what Prince was quoted as saying following Michael's passing, he left the past in the past and stayed positive. He had many opportunities to slam Michael in the media during his scandals and never took the bait. Why can't Quincy reciprocate the respect? Has he said ANYTHING positive about Prince here? This is shameful and classless in my humble opinion, Prince as short as he was, was the bigger man after all.

I love the music of Prince. But Quincy Jones has told a different variation of the story regarding Prince and MJ. Originally he said Prince said to them "You don't need me for this, it'll be a hit without me"(regarding "Bad").As for Prince being offended by the whole "You're Butt Is Mine" lyric. I'd like to think Prince was joking with Chris Rock and the media. This is the same guy who wrote "Darling Nikki", "Rasberry Beret", "Little Red Corvette", "Get Off", "Sexy MF", "Cream", "Peach", "Do Me Baby", and "Soft and Wet". Along with the whole "Sugar Walls" song he wrote for Sheena Easton. So I sincerely and highly doubt he'd be offended by that lyric. Overall I think it was just a friendly competition between the two. Both are iconic, contributed massive and legendary status to the world of music, videos, fashion, and pop culture in general. They both literally personified the 80's along with Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, and even Weird Al. In the end there shouldn't be any comparison. They were both amazing artists and I love them both equally. Even saw Michael Jackson live during his World Dangerous Tour when living in Germany. The real tragedy is we never got to see MJ and Prince do a collaboration musically.

You forgot to mention that Prince produced and wrote songs for modern day artist behind the scenes. Prince didn't have to collabe with these artist he was in a class all by himself. He was the epitome of genuis and didn't have to apologise for it.

Very good video! Thank you!

Justin is honestly the perfect dude for these sort of videos, you're funny guy homie!

Prince did Prince. He wasn't interested with working with rappers too much. He worked with Eve and That's about it. If you listen to Drake and some of these other cats, after awhile, they all sound the same. Prince was too busy, too creative, too talented, to sound the same.

Quincy Jones is a dirty backstabber! Bringing fellow musicians down when they passed away (and not just Micheal)!

@HiphopDX I don't usually comment on KZfaq and this is the first video I've seen of yours, but you do a really great job. You balance your screen time and the clips very well and seem passionate, yet composed with your perspective.

There is an interview with Tavis Smiley where he said he was with Prince when Prince found out MJ died. He was rehearsing and sent everyone home that day, and locked himself in his apartment for almost a week. There was definitely a friendly competition. Plus why would he call him Camille considering that was one of his alter egos? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMqXZayeyrKRk2g.html

Prince don't need anybody his legacy stands on its own.

GREAT VIDEO 💙🙌🏼💜

Thanks ......never new this stuff.love both of them....💯

great episode learned a lot! would love to hear r for princes version of I'm Bad!

I can believe this. Prince seemed to feel the need to prove himself to others. At times. MJ and prince were both stellar. But apples and oranges they were.

Your set is fly bro! Major major props!

Nice niiice Justin + James! Prince was my first concert. I was 14 ..same age as my aunty when she charmed her way into the Jackson hotel suite ...this is a family thing! 💜☮️💟🎵 Great piece 👍👍👍

PRINCE DID NOT NEED ANYONE ELSE ON HIS MUSIC, HE PRODUCED AND WROTE EVERYTHING AND ALSO PLAYED ALL INSTRUMENTS!

Prince did work with Janelle Monae though.

Thank you for this

Prince didn't need to work with anybody else! He was and is great on his own!

I don't take anything Quincy Jones say about other Black artist seriously, He just repeats the "Mainstream" talking points!!

It sounds like Michael wanted to bring him in but Prince showing off, turned them down.

This is the first video of ever seen on this channel, and I subscribed as soon as he mentioned a nas and lupe collab.

I love the artwork!!!

Good work bro

Prince actually did work with Kendrick Lamar albeit during a live show @ Paisley Park

Love the paintings😍😍😍

Great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Prince and Michael Jackson had a rivalry but it was competitive, friendly rivalry. This video is BS.

" your butt is mine? PAUSE i aint with that my man" - Prince

Great video

Princes legacy stands as it is. He's a phenomenon , and his music won't fade IMO

Prince had the wrong idea about Michael , he thought he was gay. Your butt is mine , is a line used by street thugs in a fight, not sexual .

In my opinion, Michael Jackson and Prince are the biggest icons in music history. Ironically, they were the same age, both were Black men, both were from the midwest of the U.S. and both idolized James Brown. Yet, despite those similarities, they couldn't have been more different as musicians and as people. Still, I think it would've been wonderful had the 2 of them had been able to collaborate at least once! Michael Jackson was on the music scene long before Prince. If there hadn't been a Michael Jackson there may have never been a Prince. I believe underneath Prince's spirit of competitiveness lay some insecurity and even jealousy. Had he really wanted to collaborate with Michael, he could've done so on a song other than Bad. It's unfortunate that he chose not to. To date, Michael Jackson remains the top-selling solo artist in the world and was the world's greatest entertainer. He performed before more audiences and received more awards than anyone else in music history. Prince, however, was the greatest musician and most prolific songwriter/composer of ANY era!!!! He was also a dynamic entertainer and he created enough music that will last well into the next millennium. These 2 musicians were the BEST in music history and we'll never see the likes of either of them again!!! They were both musical geniuses that we were fortunate to enjoy simultaneously. I am most grateful to have been influenced by them both and I am a die-hard fan of both!! No one will ever surpass them!!! They are the GREATEST musicians of all time!!!!!

Great voice. Very well spoken. Thank you.

Prince did a live collab with Kendrick Lamar its on KZfaq look it up

prince was a gangsta in the positive sense of the word

Much Gratitude.

Very interesting - thanks.

As iconic as Prince was, he was NEVER a Michael Jackson.

Michael had been putting in work since the age of 9 enough said

Great vid Sir! I subscribed as well. FYI; Prince did collaborate with Kendrick Lamar about 2 years before he passed.

Quincy jones need to stop though..he know damn well they didn't kill themselves. And Prince did right, Micheal did right..they both left their own, unique legacy..there you go.

Prince collaborated with the great lyricist Chuck D. from Public Enemy. He didn't have to do more than that. It was best how he left his legacy trust me. Prince was one of a kind ,so was Michael. Its hard to believe they are both gone now.

Off topic: this dudes skin complexion is amazing. Beautiful

I enjoyed it)

To the Author: I appreciate this video that you put up especially the Quincy Jones part. It's always enlightening for me to hear people who really knew these artists, who are my favorites, talk about them...

8:11 The simple answer to that is told by Nas on Nore's Drink Champs, "Do you your masters? When you own your masters, give me a ring." - Prince.

Camille is a character Prince created that was a Lesbian rival of his. "If I was your Girlfriend " was a song performed by her. Prince once said, that Camille was his better self. This was at the Lovesexy, tour here in Detroit, at the Joe Louis arena. Real story

This Is really enlightening.

I'm glad Prince never collaborated with Kanye. Prince is a real musician.

damn, i could not process the fact that there was once a MJ ft. Prince song that "never was"

Great video, I love your wall images. I don't see Rakim. What opinion, what you said here were facts. Great ones at that. Do you ever cover any GO GO?

Great video 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 i personally feel prince didnt need to do many collaborations because he already had to many ideas in his head spinning around to deal with anyhow....i mean they should have called him “the show” or better yet “the whole f’n show” because he was incredible on stage.

I have been a Prince and MJ fan since Prince dropped his first album "For you" and since the Jackson 5 dropped their 2nd album "ABC". They're both phenomenal artist in their own right. Prince's career speaks for itself and his legacy will be known for what is was. He will always be knows as Royal Badness. MJ's career also speaks for itself , NO one will ever come close to his dance moves and videos (often imitated but never duplicated) he will always be know as the King of Pop. Both artist have pave the way for future artist. Prince and MJ left this world to soon but, they will never be forgotten.

Prince was a classically trained and extremely strict with his discipline... None of the so called modern day musical icons that Justin mentioned are anywhere near the Musical Mindset of someone like Prince... his legacy is best exactly as it is now.

Considering Quincy and Michael's close relationship, I don't believe you can consider Quincy an unbiased source of information on this rivalry. Of course he's going to paint Prince as the villain.

Love that art on the wall.......

Love them both & that is it.. legends

Prince you are Outstanding, you are the Greatest. Rest In Peace Genius .
