No one mentioned Jadakiss's choking baby laugh. I hate it.
I think that was the first Prince song I've listened to and I fucking hate him. What with Acid Rain and shit like that. His scream sounds like a woman orgasming. Androgynous cunt.
Lil Wayne's voice also pisses me off. I think Vinnie Paz sounds like Prince in real life, but for his records he just smokes a carton of cigarettes the night before and then records.

I'm more than 90% sure you're trolling me - but fuck it, I'll take the bait.
Your music taste is like your diet - terrible.
PRINCE is the greatest artist of all time in the history of recorded music. You'd be hard pressed to find ANY serious music critic that wouldn't put him in their Top 10, if not Top 5. He's easily the most influential black artist of the past 50 years. EASILY. 90% of modern day pop and R&B is more influenced by Prince than ANY other artist.
There's a reason why everyone from Robert Plant to Ozzy Osbourne to Andre 3000 to Pharrell to Timbaland to NeYo to Stevie Nicks to ?uestlove to Eric Clapton to Sting to Paul McCartney to Eddie Van Halen to P. Diddy to Tupac to Dave Grohl to Jeff Beck to David Bowie to Miles Davis to LL Cool J to Chuck D to Stevie Wonder to James Brown have said Prince is THE GREATEST. I could keep on listing artists to, that's just a brief list of ones who know what's up.
Pharrell and Timbaland have arguably spent the vast majority of their careers ripping off Prince.
Prince has written more classic songs than arguably any other artist, because he's super prolific. He literally defined the sound of an entire decade - the 80s, and what's more, he WROTE, SANG AND PLAYED EVERY DAMN INSTRUMENT on every song. He plays over 30 different instruments, writes and produces everything he does himself. There is not an artist on the planet who would not want to work with him.
He has mastered nearly every genre of music under the sun - has written classic songs in every one of the following genres:
Pop
Soul
Funk
R&B
Jazz
Country
Rock
Metal
Blues
Acoustic
Reggae
Dance
Techno
Folk
....and many, many more.
Saying "you hate Prince" IS equivalent to saying you hate music. It's really THAT simple.
I have personally witnessed him tear up the guitar better than ANYTHING Hendrix ever did. Hendrix gets the acclaim because he's dead, but in a guitar dual today, if Jimi were alive, Prince would slaughter him, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteem and any other guitarist without breaking a sweat.
Time for some schooling. OK, so you don't like "DMSR", one of the greatest funk songs ever written.
But, frankly, if it's true like you said that you've never listened to any Prince song, either you're full of shit, or you are so musically uneducated that you need to never be allowed to post on a MUSIC forum ever again. So, you've never heard...
Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy, 777-9311, Kiss, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, Erotic City, 1999, Controversy, Manic Monday, Nothing Compares 2 U, Raspberry Beret, Sign O' The Times, U Got The Look, Batdance, My Name is Prince, Sexy Motherfucker, Diamonds and Pearls, The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, Darling Nikki, Jungle Love, Pussy Control, Little Red Corvette, Black Sweat, Musicology, Dreamer?
Just to name a few of his many classics. If you have HONESTLY never heard ANY of those songs I feel fucking sorry for you. I thought everyone on the planet at LEAST knew "When Doves Cry" - regularly voted as one of the greatest songs of all time.
This past summer, Rolling Stone magazine had a list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. Nobody in the list had more songs in there than The Beatles, who had 9 songs in there. Prince had 7 songs in there. No other artist had more than 4.
Oh, and since we're on a hip-hop board? Prince is THE reason that artists had to start putting "Parental Advisory" stickers on their records. His song "Darling Nikki" enraged Al Gore's wife, Tipper Gore so much when it came out that she founded the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) after she caught her teenage daughter listening to the song, which includes references to women masturbating. Good thing her daughter wasn't listening to "Head", his 1980 funk classic about a women who sucks his cock in a car on the way to her wedding to another guy.
I get the feeling you are a rock music fan (maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure I saw Van Halen in your last.fm list), so get a load of these:
Oh, yeah, and there's a reason this video on YouTube is named "Greatest Guitar Solo Ever" - in a tribute to the late George Harrison, Prince ripped up Dhani Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne in a cover of George's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
Watch the solo that starts at 3.30, all the way to the end of the video. BAD ASS.
Also, his 2007 Superbowl halftime show was voted as the GREATEST HALFTIME SHOW in the entire history of the NFL.
Not to mention "Purple Rain" is the most iconic music movie ever made and 20 years later, folks like Eminem are still ripping it off. "8 Mile" was basically "Purple Rain" in a hip-hop context.
Frankly, if you don't like Prince, you are not qualified to have an opinion on music, because you don't know shit. You know less than shit.

I would say there's less than 10 artists in the entire history of music whereby it is absolutely acceptable to say if you don't like them, then you don't like music.
Prince is one of them. The Beatles are another. Bob Marley. Led Zep. Queen. MJ. Stevie Wonder.
If you claim to be a fan of music and say you don't like any one of these artists, it is nothing less than a fact that you are wrong, or completely musically illiterate.
There's nothing else to it. And frankly, if somebody does say they don't like one of those artists, I don't care much for their opinion on ANYTHING, because they are obviously an idiot.

Each to his own. Some people might just have a different taste and not everyone must love Prince, The Beatles or Michael Jackson.
Some people only like classical music and I wouldn't say that they don't love music because they dislike these artists or never really cared about them.
Heck, I know a really talented guy studying in a music school starting to "do it big" who doesn't know most popular artists, including Prince. But I wouldn't say that he doesn't love music or doesn't know much about music.

Casey Rain is passionate about music so it's only natural, and expected, for him to have these strong opinions about what makes a music fan a real fan of music. For some, music has a much more objective and technical feel, in that depending on the quality of the music played or sung, people like it. For others, music is all about how you connect to it on a personal level. I don't mean to say that the two are mutually exclusive, because they are not, but people see music differently. For me, the gods of music are Riblja Corba, Bijelo Dugme and Zabranjeno Pusenje, bands you never heard of. They've ripped some guitar riffs and melodies here and there from British and American bands but their lyrics and music are something that I've grown up with and related to all my life. Music for the soul and it's not even blues or soul music. To take a rap lyric out of context, "Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me you see". Insert Stevie Wonder and Prince instead.
