I like Street Songs an awful lot anyway. It's urgent and plasticky.

He was a legend. The coolest , fucked-up coke head that ever was. Did you know he played with Neil young in his early days...I love when you hear about really disparate creative connections like that!

one of my heroes. :)

i dont think hes really an albums artist but he has plenty of brilliant songs. more soulful/thick-groove-based than prince.

some funny stories about his rivalry with prince too.

loved his cheesy ballads, too ("Fire & Desire", Glow", etc.)

(pass the joint)

and don't forget that he gave the world Teena Marie and the Mary Jane Girls

It's kind of sad someone with so many bangers is more of a meme than anything. He did it to himself (with a little help from Dave Chappelle) though.

John Lurie once tweeted something about ending up doing masses of coke in a broom closet with Rick James back in the 80s.
