Prince can do EVERYTHING stevie can just as good and arguably better. The same can't be said for stevie. Who wanna fight about it

I’ve got about all of both of their catalogs worth having

I love both but I enjoy Stevie’s music just a little bit more than Prince

Yeah I’m definitely not mad if Prince wins this round

and It’s a little off topic but while it’s on my mind... where tf is Issac Hayes in this? If we‘re including older artists. A lot of them I consider more soul than r&b but.... a good amount of samples that have been flipped in Hip Hop songs came from him

The only reason I voted for Prince is because he's more my generation.

Purple Rain came out when I was in 6th grade.

Stevie was kinda past his prime when I was growing up

Not tryna change ya mind, We like what we like. The dude has literally thousands of songs so. But let me put you on to Little red corvette game. He talking about running into a bad red thang, and smashing, and realizing chick is out there (thot life). Comparing her to a Vette, sexy , and fast " need to slow down". Made that ish a HIT played over the radio in the 80s and most people not even catching the meanings

 

[Eastbay510]

This explains some of the greatness of Stevie if anyone wants to take the time to watch

 

[GOAT]

I dont think the 80s was for me

 

[Eastbay510]

Check for music from the early 80’s that’s when most of the best music was made as far as r&b is concerned. That’s when you still had the combination of real instrumentation mixed with some the new drum machines and synthesizers.

Probably around 85 is when r&b got kinda cheesy but it’s a lot of dope shit before then

 

[GOAT]

Yall should post your fav 3 or 5 Prince tracks. I prolly havent heard em
