- TMF Xtra Soulmax Interview - November 1999. Prince Rogers Nelson, born on June 7, 1958, was a pioneering American singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. Renowned for his exceptional musical talents and innovative artistry, Prince became a symbol of creativity and originality in the music industry. He possessed a wide vocal range, from falsetto to high-pitched screams, and was a master of multiple instruments, often playing most, if not all, of the instruments on his recordings. His music seamlessly blended various genres such as funk, R&B, rock, new wave, soul, synth-pop, pop, jazz, blues, and hip-hop, giving rise to the iconic "Minneapolis sound."
Starting his career by signing with Warner Bros. Records at 19, Prince's early albums like "For You" (1978) and "Prince" (1979) laid the foundation for his future success. He gained critical acclaim with influential albums like "Dirty Mind" (1980), "Controversy" (1981), and "1999" (1982). His sixth album, "Purple Rain" (1984), recorded with his backing band the Revolution, not only marked a commercial triumph but also spawned a film of the same name, further solidifying his superstar status. The album spent an impressive six months atop the Billboard 200 chart and earned him an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.
Prince's boundary-pushing career was marked by his enigmatic persona. During a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in the 1990s, he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol, leading to his moniker "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince." His creative journey continued with albums like "Sign o' the Times" (1987), celebrated as one of his best works.
Tragically, Prince passed away at the age of 57 in April 2016 due to an accidental fentanyl overdose at his Paisley Park home and recording studio. Throughout his life, he released 39 albums and left behind a wealth of unreleased material, including completed albums and music videos. Posthumously, albums like "Piano and a Microphone 1983" (2018) and "Originals" (2019) garnered critical acclaim.

If you wanted to interview Prince, you had to be on your game. Say no more...
Right!!
" all they can do is watch ", speak truth Prince.
YES! I agree with Prince on playing with actual musicians, although a musician’s instrument can be a computer.
Prince is a master of music, he knows what people can play there music own things ,
Like he's says play your own instruments
You're got to love him Xx
Why should Prince "The GREATEST EVER" have to give his music away for FREE? These interviewers we're uninformed and didn't do their homework about the industry beforehand.
Must've been pretty scary to ask the right questions without feeling or sounding like an idiot. Glad the guys got through it OK.
An overdone monotone quiet voice, and doesn't necessarily make it easy
@shallnot6043 with no disrespect to your comment I'm a Minneapolis kid and that's Prince's normal talking voice he's not over doing anything.
This is a great video
I think Prince was very kind to these guys. He gently got his point across that made so much sense and was very informative.
I LUV Prince in interview s he is so funkiee and cool luv his voice he is cool carm and collective💜🎸🎶😇🕯️
This arrived in my feed tonight, and wow. Essential for the Rave Y2K era, the quality from the original video tapes of this interview are superb. Thank you very much, had not seen or known of this.
Free means music is not worth anything. Yet bootleggers... they say, don't pay for the boot we're releasing... now, they used to charge a grip, at least the used record stores, swap meets we'd find them back then, but then it became about releasing in this case, Prince's unreleased music and performances... and then as if they owned them, HIM, really, declare, that oh, it's free. How wonderful. And they still do it. Including certain fans on social media like CZcams. Strange But True.
Wow, I've never seen this interview before, (always love it when I find a new Prince gem)! Thanks very much for the Post, ~Mark~
Glad you enjoyed it!
GREAT GUY AND MUSICIAN... R.I.P
I think that this channel is amazing!!!
Thank you!
You're welcome!

I love Prince, but the technology has changed dramatically , Prince was still recording in analog at the time of the interview , when digital has been the new way 2 record music .
None the less, Prince is the man and no one can touch his shit.
That doesn't explain why the music sounded so much better back then than it does now..and all the new remasters from 2010s onward of classic songs tend to not be as good.
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Well the easiest explanation why music recorded in "analog" sounds better to us than music recorded in "digital" is simple. The human ear is also "analog." You can't fake the funk, ya dig? Blah,ha!! 😂🤣 +Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘
These 2 were probably fans of robbie or some talentless act of that time..i love when he says that kid behind his computer in his bedroom cant play!..i know if i was in front of this Legend id respect his time and company he is was the very best!💜
He rocking that Karen cut
who is karen?an ex wife?
They should have did their homework better. They seem so missed informed. Love love Prince💜. But, Not the best interview, the interviewers didn’t seem equipped.
You can tell Prince thinks these simps are not worthy of interviewing him.
Exactly 😂😂
You can say that, but he actually took the time to answer them, rather than going "shy" when interviewers are in his face. The guys remained humble interviewing him, and it got good results!
Yes he looks annoyed
when was that interview?
looks like late 90s
@@TMFTheMusicFactorynope it was done in nov. '99
I met you February of 2000 🥰💜
thanks!
A truly master who knows everything about the trend but doesn’t give a f**k. His “stubborn” was the most obvious thing to tell us that our generation are too shit, with no patient to learn the whole theory of music.
That was a little awkward.
Brown pants was nervous and unprepared
Display no ignorance
Prince looks annoyed having to talk to these knuckleheads!
He looks like he's drugged 😢
Seriously though, why else would he let them play with him.. they wouldn't have a chance if they sucked. Dumb question lmao
Who are these simps?
Stephen & David Dewaele aka 2 Many Dj's aka Soulwax
I thought it was bevis and butt head
this young little punk coughed in Prince’s face, such disrespect 😑
Que obsoleta se ha quedado está entrevista sobre la cuestión de usar tecnología para hacer música...
