- Prince TV interview from July 20, 2004. While promoting his new album "Musicology", Prince discusses a variety of issues, including politics, the war in Iraq, prejudice, race and racism, etc. He also defends his more explicit music lyrics from his early career. The interviewer is Rene Syler, co-host of The Early Show.
He is the epitome of "cool" and "sexy". Prince was deep with his intellect and insight to life, so articulate and smooth talker and daam cute. miss the guy so much, rip
I am still here,though
Kandi Kane and looked so good being smart sexy cool
YES, GURL , YESSS!!
💜💜💜💜
He really was an angel.
Prince's voice is so relaxing. I feel like listening again so I can stay in a relaxed state. He's a sight for sore eyes, too. So beautiful.
Agreed! I could listen to his voice and message forever. Such a unique soul.
Santy Klaws then look for the clip of " One Song" he is talking before the song starts. ITS SUPER.
I totally agree with you! Listening to his interviews puts me in a relaxed state as well. I find it interesting that often the interviewers are very agitated, speak very quickly, but Prince remains tranquil, keeps speaking slowly and in his own way, he doesn't get pulled into the agitated state of the interviewers. I haven't heard anybody speak so softly and calmly and self-confidently like him (without even appearing arrogant).
Anna-Maria agree same here love watching his interviews there all good ones
That deepness though...I love how he thinks before he talks as well.
I could listen to Prince talk all day💔💜
Me too. 💜
me too I can look at him all day too
I do!
Diane Strand yes he was very handsome specially when his hair was short and tapered back.He could have been a model really he wore his clothes so well and could wear anything and it looked good on him they were made to fit him but still.Beautiful smile, the way music is today he was one of the artist that could smile he didn't have to look hard core . His VOICE (singing) well we all know bout that ! His talking voice so sexy ,natural, kinda deep , soft but not feminine .Oh how I would have loved to have a cup of coffee with him and talk all things with him politics,the word,religion,kids just whatever I know we would be great to have a conversation with
+None Ya yea Lord he was so so fine oooh just Sexy gorgeous
Prince is the man! He's extremely intelligent, handsome, and just a joy to watch. I love listening to him whether he's speaking or singing 💜💜💜💜💜
Same here. He drives me wild everytime I see him. I'm just so crazy about him. That's it. 😍
Same :-D 💜
They listen better....Love Him!
...and yes she is flirting & he liked that she was sharp enough to throw him off. I don't care what your "type" is. Prince made all women feel sexy with his own appeal.
Even me as a 17 year old emo girl from the street. He rocked my world and warmed up my heart like nobody else.
His hair was on POINT! JS.
His hair was always on point lol and his clothes💜
Always. 100%. 👍
Props out to his hair stylist for 20 plus years from Inglewood, Calif.!!!!!
@@ArmyStay0T70T8 absolutely
FR I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THAT
Prince was always so far ahead of his time. I have the utmost respect for him. He used his talents and gifts to the highest of his capabilities. So diverse in his music and lyrics and that is difficult for many song artists. Many will never reach his accomplishments. Even more, his maturity was far beyond his age. I believe he truly was one of the few that lived by his words. Genuine and loved by all. Miss his presence in this world!
most of his albums didnt sell
Your words are beautiful and very true. Couldn't agree more.
Explicit is subjective.
A hundred years ago the "ankle" was porn.
Joshua Taylor Madison 🤣 😝
Good point
@@randywhite3947 😂😂😂😂
The bible says we're waxing worse and worse. A girl showing her belly was racy in the 60s. Now in 2020, that's nothing.
WORLD is PRETTY DARK, SINCE "MUSIC" left the scene... MY HERO...4EVER...
Prince is a good teacher people can learn alot from him especially artists of today who rap about unnecessary things in their music because hip hop back Than use to have a message in their songs now today's music isn't that anymore prince's music was spirituality even if he spoke about sex it was through spirit he have always respected us women and was never degrading or anything he always spoke from his heart I liked that he admires a woman's beauty from within inside and out a woman doesn't need make up because she is already beautiful the most beautiful girl in the world video is incredible I learned a lot from him he taught us everything from sex relationships spirituality God religion spoke the truth on what was important he was never afraid to address it a very smart intelligent down to earth sweet caring humorous generous loving man he is missed every day I thank him for all that he has done for us fans we are his friends and family #PurpleNation 😘💜💜💜🕊️#RIPPrince I love you baby mwah
Prince makes a good point. Men, especially male musicians tend to let their egos get in their way, so playing with Prince that might be a problem. Women musicians (not diva singers ones who play in bands) aren't as ruled by ego.
Obviously, both of them do lol
You're delusional
Everyday, I miss Prince more and more. A true Legend. there will never be another like him.
His eyes, his voice were hypnotic. Miss this beautiful soul so much.💜💜💜💜
he made a lot of that music when he was so young.and the music he made later on in his life reflected his maturity.he had grown up.
That's one of the things I love about him. He evolved as an artist.
Danielle Rameau he was like David Bowie of changing his looks
he remained arrogant though
@@superlex611 nah MJ did that more than anyone
He was elegantly masculine
I agree that’s exactly what I said 😂😊
Well said
His explicit lyrics never bothered me. I swear a lot because I am passionate person and sometimes it is necessary to do so. Some of his songs called for it. He makes songs for adults.
Even teenagers.
When he made all the explicit music he was very young and youngsters make poor decisions and when you know better you do better and that comes with age if it’s not taught to you by a parent or older adult in your life.he learned from his mistakes why musicology is very clean music.
@@jacquelineperry5873 true.
His explicit lyrics never bothered me either. I love them very much. I'm 17 years old and I'm almost an adult and I can listen to his musical gems anytime 😊
Definitely agree. He makes music for adults, even teenagers.. Small children shouldn't be able to listen to his explicit songs😭
All I can say is this is exactly why I'm still so heartbroken that the brother is no longer here with us.
Besides all the incredible music he will be remembered for is all the words that this man wrote in poetic musical format..... if you just read the words without the music it's absolutely amazing and astonishing the quantity and quality of all those words that told stories, it's an amazing body of work the best writers and authors could only hope of achieving in one lifetime simply amazing!!!!
Riparadise 4ever P we miss you so much brother :(
female musician here! I love how Prince had so many wonderful, beautiful, talented women to share the stage with him :)
Prince was a genius, he made music 🎵 that made you feel free..
Well said.
He wasn't musician only, but he was music itself. Pure Genius and one of the rarest gem.
Not only that he was The Greatest Musician Genius of all time but he was insanely wise and deep. Whenever he talks he oozes with such intelligence and depth with the smooth calmness, with such an elegance and style, there is no pretentious, only pure charm and authenticity. One more thing notice about him: he never ever interrupts interviewer (in any interview you won't see him interrupting, always respectful and serene). His posture, his confidence, his presence is very powerful. He doesn't have to say a word, he just sits there and listens yet you feel enormous respect for this guy. You feel such a strong personality! Prince was absolutely unique and complex. Unbeatable and irreplaceable. He wasn't only musician but rather the music itself. There is no doubt that he was God's gift to the world and to mankind.
I bet you think you're the biggest Prince fan out there but let me tell you, you're not. I am!
You noticed that everything he did back in the day was considered rare, and now it's all considered mainstream? Back then, it was even rare to see cursing and bad language on tv and now we see it every single day, and the same with nudity. Sexuality was always something that was kept secret and in the closet whether you're gay or straight, now it's flaunted everywhere all the time.
he was before the times.
Ayrricka Street ć
I know. I even think Prince and his music were a lot more tame than what we see nowadays...like you can't compare the sexual artist's nowadays to Prince...he sexual persona was more so through art. He wasn't afraid to tackle sex at any point in his career other artists nowadays are though.
Prince was Disney compare to what we have now
Danielle Rameau lmfao totally👍🏻
"My Brother Prince Always Spoke The Truth 100%"
Good interview! It's nice to watch an intelligent interview! Prince is very interesting to watch, articulate, cool and sexy! Nice deep voice. Thank you for posting!💜💜💜
such an advanced being...beautiful!
baby cakes
And his voice was so hypnotic any reporter interviewing him needs to be a pro or you'll forget what the interview is😜
4:00 Prince holding back on his legendary pimp game, lol. Dude even had a deep answer for why he prefers female musicians. R.I.P. to the true Mac Daddy
Sparkz Mentalz Yes! He always held back on that part in interviews. They’d ask him “Prince, how do u do it?” He never gave up the secret. True Mack
And this is why I love him so much.
The "Mac DADDY" sought Bible truths & recognized Jehovah...@ that point he definitely upped his game MORE than....then EVER!!!#GottaLuvAManThatIsBibleTrained######GodFearing####
Love him Always, so thoughtful and Intellegent
He said STRAIGHT pornography! lol
Where is the lie? I love his thoughts.
Lmao
Other artist have been duplicated but never has anyone come close to duplicating The Purple Prince💜💜💜
So many have been better and more unique especially MJ
He used to be a sexual wild person he even said so himself in some interview in the 2010's i can't remember which particular one it was about how prince became spiritual and he said you don't have to make the same mistakes i did when i was younger, the 1996 chaos and disorder album was the last sexually explicit album prince made he was already changing in the late 90's, any prince fan knows he released the most raunchy albums in the 80's parental advisory was invented because of him the world lost the best most talented genius musician on April 21st 2016 Rip prince
I love this MAN!!!. This MAN is the definition of A GORGEOUS MAN!! I
have always loved this man's EYES, HAIR, VOICE, STYLE Beautiful. True LEGEND.
Rest in Eternal Peace my brother. Prince u r missed. I too have a pair of John (Johnny B Well) Blackwell sticks from the 2007 show in Nashville TN after the release of one of my favorite CDs Rainbow Children. NPG 4ever. The April snow has not melted.
The Rainbow Children is also MY favorite
till resurrection
Rainbow Children a masterpiece
I love this man.

He was VERY BEAUTIFUL MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
prince is/was/will always be my idol. what a wonderful voice he has while he speaks his truth. he stays real with his music and his words and his messages. may he be remembered always. 💜

Insanely talented gifted artist. Never forget . . . Prince forever!
Thank you for posting this video. His voice is amazing😍😍 #LoveMeSomePrince
Prince was the total package from a-z, from top to bottom, he knew so much more than he was ever given credit 4, Prince was a good leader, teacher, there was so much more that Prince could have taught this troubled world we live in. This man was a Genius in his mind of thinking, Prince was the salt of the earth, there is no one who can replace Prince. No one will ever walk or talk the Prince way again. Prince was unique, the only of his kind, I am so grateful that I lived in the time of Prince & road the magical journey with him. Prince is 4ever etched in my mind, heart & soul Prince I LoVe U deeply, U are my greatest romance 4ever, U are 4ever loved & 4ever missed💜💘💋🔥☪️💦💦💓♥️🔥💎🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for sharing! :)
You're welcome!! I'm a huge Prince fan. If I find any other Prince videos that are RARE and not yet on CZcams, I will be sure to post them here.
RestlessRick thank you. I love Prince
Prince may have come off as eccentric, but he was very intelligent and speaks truth. I readily admit I didn't like some of the explicit language and lyrics he did in his younger years. As he matured and embraced the hard truths of life, I learned to respect him as a person. He's absolute right, some of today's lyrics and performers cross lines he never dreamed of. Why? Sex sells. That's the cold hard facts. As a christian I cannot listen to or support many of today's entertainers. But that's my God given right. However, I don't blasphemously speak of them. I don't choose friends by color, religious affiliation, or creed. I don't support same sex, but I don't judge LGBT people. Unless they try to push their morals on me, then I'd have to speak up for MYSELF only. I have bisexual friends, they respect my morals and we get along just fine. I've never chosen friends based on race. That in itself would be a sin because the same Creator breathed life into everyone! And I totally respect Prince for taking the stand he did against bigotry! Prince, like Michael Jackson, opened doors for other minorities. This I/was/remains phenomenal.
Diane Hughes Prince was a edgy guy in the 80's
I love your view :)
Thank You for sharing I miss Him so Much!
Prince was a wise man. We were taught race for sure.
Thank you for sharing. I have not seen this one before.......Many Purple Thanks.
Beautiful face' skin' 2 nah eyes, perfect nose" heavy duty industrial strength intelligence, sublimely spoken, a lullaby speaking voice..PRINCE is royalty without playing a whistle: true Renaissance Man....
+RestlessRick this was a great interview with Prince i like how he isn't afraid to speak his mind on anything that he feels coming from his heart I truly admire that about him I get him I love that and also through his music as well I love Prince 🙏💜💜💜
It was 2004 and he still was looking amaZing
The GREATEST concert that I've ever seen in my life.....
Love his voice. My gosh, how beautiful and sexy.
Great interview... July of 20th...my mum's birthday..❤❤❤ RIP both of them..Love you mum..love you Prince.😍❤💟💜
Missing him so much my heart breaks all over again over losing him..
I would've tried to move mountains to pick this man's brain and tell him how much I appreciate his music.
I sure wish the Prince of Music was still here with us!!! A Master Muscian!!! None ever like him!!! He was the greatest Musician Showman of a Century..... Every muscian pales in comparison.....he seemed to be generous and caring.......! RIP!!!!
prince said he would never sell his soul in one of his songs.he was a realist.
Jacqueline Perry really?
@@missoldcreolesoul96 In the question of U That was one of the songs that he states that
what a master
Prince so profound, could listen to him 4ever! RIP Prince
Listening to Prince talk is like settling in with a good book and a cup of warm tea with honey on a rainy day. With a cat in my lap. While getting a foot rub.
To me. It's like my heart having a massage and later on, his voice speaks in my head out of nowhere. It's magic.
And it gives me a secret orgasm everytime.
Yaas, love that comment
He said exactly what I have always thought. Race is taught. I have a 10 year old boy that has as many black friends as he does white and when I see how excited he gets when he's with his black friends and they him it reiterates Prince's statement. People gotta quit teaching kids dumb stuff
Maria H. What does race had to do ?
Tell all that to Francesca Ramsey for being prejudiced against whites.
He is the man!! Noone can take his place!! Ever. I'M SO SAD PRINCE 🎸IS NOT HERE ANYMORE 😥💜
Prince u r so adorable I love u 4ever
I won TIXS to the Musicology Tour on 08/09/2004 and I was like a big kid in the nosebleeds throughout the whole show. I jumped, I screamed and shouted, and even sung to this light skinned girl behind me when he did adore and call my name. Man, what a FABULOUS AWESOME show.
Prince was never vulgar was the diff. He was classy and could dance in his thigh high suave high heels and b the best dirty dancing dirty talkin. Made u feel like u were at a sexy classy ballet.
Great Interview don't know how I missed that 1
rip you musical genius u 😞
Love and miss this man with my every cell... 💜💔
Exactly if you ever have the lucky opportunity to join Prince on stage no brainer on that one
Unless you're Kim Kardashian 😂😂😂
Love the Chaos and Disorder flashback by him.
I remember when I first met him,he was so so beautiful and he had this glow to him. He,I don't know how to explain it,looked so young and healthy. I liked him a little bit,but at the time I really had a major crush on my teacher. I'm in a lost of words right now. I mean,I can't explain how I felt when Prince held my hand. I was shy as a teen,but I became more open to him after he held my hand. The funny thing is,I didn't realize how much I loved him until a few years later when I was seventeen. He came and spent a night at my house and the feelings I had for him were so real that night......omg,I started crying when he held me in his arms. I told him how I felt about him,but he didn't listen. He told me that I had to be kidding. I said I wasn't kidding and that I was for real. He just laughed and that pissed me off. I just..........couldn't deal with that. So.....I just kind of ran away.
Vickie Lynn Is this Fan Fic? Lol...
+Mz.LiteBrite No,it isn't. It actually happened in real life.
Fannie Dixon I was just fantasizing. How did ya'll like my story though??? Lol
Fannie Dixon Yeah.
So much respect for this truth teller.
Only mj, prince,and a few more used their career to raise awareness to the world....true legends
how can someone be so perfect?
what an amazing PERSON
Also, he was such a legend when he defended his craft. He didn't give no fucks.
That looked like a great interview, very interesting and he was given a chance to think and answer which was great
Very profound words. RIP Prince.
Awesome
Love him 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️
God I love him forever 💜
The black ball analogy?
That shit just blew my mind lol
CKCLUTCH sorry for the late response but that a lyric from a song called the same December.
Genius. Miss you 💜
Musicology is a great album. Some beautiful lyrics, tender melodies, very funky and high energy too. Really liked it. I was into him from "1999" onwards but lost interest in his music when he became The Symbol and only learnt about Musicology last year from a CZcams video where he is performing a song from it on Leno. Recommended.
Oh Prince!
Love how she manages to keep her cool when she's on stage with the band at the end 😂😂
I love this video/post! Thank you! I love PRINCE his mind his soul his heart! Pure genius! So many people only say how sexy he was an he is an was so sexy! But he was so much more than sexy,,,his intelligence made him so sexy to me!!!!
And his quiet, sweet, charismatic, warm personality, too.
He is totally right on everything that he is saying he is a great teacher to us.❤❤
Taken away from us too soon #ThePurpleOne 💜
Such a genius to look at war in such an objective way and the way WE SHOULD ALL look at it. There is death of innocent people during wars, and we should avoid wars at all cost, even if they mean a boost in economy !
Sending a female reporter to interview Prince is like sending a wolf inside a chicken coop.
😆 you’re right about that 😂
Who played the wolf? Prince or the reporter?
@@Michelle-ss8km I don’t know you decide 🤣
He was definitely a wolf but he always wore the finest in sheep’s clothing 😂
By the time you figured out that you were talking to The Wolf, you’re already devoured and he has your panties in his pocket. 😳
@@suzeesix Great analogy he definitely knew how to finesse especially women you’re definitely right about that Robin said he had a pimp mentality
Lol watch it now prince is so funny
I love u Prince
I LOVE HIM! HE'S A GEMINI TOO...
This is really good
Im still heartbroken of his death🥺
I loved all of his music
Rip angel x
have you ever met
someone like prince?
I wish! God only made one. Grrr
Even the best people I've met (which aren't that many) don't hold a candle to him. Prince was a truly unique human being and it's no wonder I've been fascinated with him since I first heard one of his songs. It would be amazing to even find someone remotely close to being like Prince.
everyone is rare in their own way...you just drew to Prince more which is fine but don't downgrade any of god's creation.
He is the one and only..... Given to Earth for a season....
Yes :')
R.I.P. BROTHER
