Prince chat with Arsenio 05/03/14"},"lengthSeconds":"609","ownerProfileUrl":"http://www.youtube.com/

Tonight needs no introduction. Join your hands for the only Prince I have. I must say one thing. I understood. I got us. There's only one way to start. The first person who contacted me when I returned at night was this man. to congratulate me if you say he will be here save me tonight thank you look he has always been a good friend always and here is the interesting thing you have a cell phone we don't see each other it always surprises me when I hear from you but how? Survive in this world without a cell phone.

Everyone I know has one. Oh, you're, you're on social media, you have an Instagram account, a Twitter account, now I'm trying to get prints from Graham, thank you, I actually saw a selfie. of you or or it was yours I should say yes, I did it, yes, that was your first, yes, um, that's right, how would you do it, yes, what title do we give to that selfie? um one, hey, that's what, uh, let's talk about your favorite titles. title in the prints catalá what is your favorite song it excites you every time you do it I usually respond by saying the following mmm but there is a song that we just wrote called the breakdown one of the things we try to do Although is wait until we have other songs let them go along with our favorites mm-hmm, that's why it takes a long time to release albums.

Yes, these days, yes, because you know that not being under contract, there is no rush to do anything if you were. They don't like that they like that you have your freedom. If you weren't a Prince, what would you do for a living? You know, because I know there was a point where maybe you thought about something else, what would you do right? um, I can't see it. you at the bank, you know, even though all the women would be in your row, you know, when I was 16 I was completely broke and I needed to get a job, so I pulled out the yellow pages and couldn't find anything I wanted to do.

I decided that I was going to try as hard as I could to be a musician and earn. Do you watch any of the shows bringing new musicians to American audiences? Not so much, yes. I'm the voice and idol, you know the whole genre, yeah, I was watching a show with Esperanza Spalding, a friend, another baseball and her, we were both sitting in silence, we were watching, we looked at each other and she says, are you rearranging the music in your head and then he said me too, so it's very difficult to watch other musicians because you tend to know that it's like a painting that you want to lighten or whatever, just listening to it, the music you listen to doesn't mean you know what they are .

What you are doing is not worthwhile, it is just that I hear myself now that I have met myself, it seems that today there are a hundred musicians here with you, what do you look for in musicians these days? um I was thinking about your question a second ago um I think I want to teach in some way. There are a lot of fun musicians in the group right now and I'm learning from them. As much as I would like to teach, I also like to learn. Yes. Oh, there is. there's a huge vault of material that you've created that we've never heard and how you make those decisions because I'd like to hear everything that you put just Justin on here, you'd look different when it was done, it takes a long time. time there is a lot of music made, like how many songs I have no idea, yeah, I don't go back in time and listen to it like I did.

I worked on it and took it as far as I could at the time, many I didn't even finish it. You know, a lot of the bootlegs that are available right now are not finished or mixed. You know, sometimes they change the letters and again you wait until you know you can find other things that match. We live in a single. market-driven, but you know I come from the old school of making albums and that's what it seems like you have a kind of love-hate battle with technology. I know you haven't always liked the Internet, how are you seeing the progress now?

Can you use all of that to your advantage? It is a double-edged sword. You know, a lot of artists don't get paid on a large scale for their art and the Internet because downloading stuff like that is like a black hole and it's hard to understand, it's hard to get accounting and it's not just about money, it's about justice. and fairness, and when people say they love and respect you but at the same time take 80% of your profits, then and then they expect them to fix their own communities and they'll probably edit all of this out, but then it turns out that's the part sharpening of the sword and we are on the wrong side right now, so eventually there will be brave people coming out. "He's out there and he really says something and stands by it.

I think we'll get some balance. We've seen you evolve over the years, not just as a musician but as a man, and sometimes I wonder when you look back at old material like I do." ". I've watched a lot in the last 24 hours to prepare for this. Do you remember old, risky things and want to part with them? Well, you know when you're 20 you're looking for that ledge you want. see how far you can push everything and as an artist I just went there just to find it and then you make changes, you know, 30 years ago, there are a lot of things that I don't do now that I did 30 years ago, there are some things that I still do, yeah, Yes, oh no, when you said that the first thing I remembered was God, he is such, his footprints, I know I understand all that, but he also made this normal brother that you hang out with like this.

I remember one time and If I have to put this out, tell me I have to put this out, but I remember one time we went to South Wilshire after our place and hung out and partied, that's something we'll probably have. I couldn't. I mean, now I have a son and grant solutions, yes sir, yes sir, and uh, we were, there were so many things that we did in the past, do you vaguely remember that house where we were sitting in a house, yes, like if they took you in and he chained the door and he's a pitbull and he gave you a drink in a paper cup and he didn't touch anything he just sat there fine, we in someone's kitchen, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was crazy and Prince was Sitting in this house, I wouldn't do it.

He wasn't drinking anything, he wouldn't touch anything, he was trying not to breathe, he had a cane, if he could have gotten oxygen, that cane might have stayed longer, but, yeah, but just normal good times like young brothers experiencing success, we should ,uh. We should take commercial and come back soon we will be back
