I always wonder how some people get huge and some people stay on the down low, maybe they like it like that, she's amazing though. She's also done work with Telepopmusic... beautiful music.

PRINCE- LOTUSFLOW3R

Past few days I've been thinking how it sux that I never got a chance to see MJ in this lifetime and thought I have to try and get a pair of tickets to see Prince. That would be something else... He released a new album this year which I haven't even heard yet, and can't gauge it 'cause alot of his stuff is not even on You Tube, they remove the tracks for whatever reason...

But I caught a hold of this interview with him and a classic track, which may have a short shelf life before it gets taken down...
