Artwork Hosted a Magnificent "100% Prince Tribute Show"

I won't front: I got kind of pissed that I received a 90-minute Prince tribute in my inbox about two hours after the announcement of his passing. Part of that was just me not being able to fully process his loss (I still can't really put it into words, although many people who are better equipped have done amazing jobs).

Last week, Artwork decided to take the full two-hours of his Rinse FM show to pay tribute to Prince. I think I'm ready to process this, especially since he doesn't do the cookie-cutter "hits" set. This delves heavily into his funkier, earlier side. Staples like "Erotic City" and "I Feel For You" are included, but a lot of this is just straight-up funk jams. Oh, and it kicks off with "Money Don't Matter 2 Night," which has been stuck in my head since Prince died. Damn.

Prince - "17 Days (DJ Michael Watts Remix)"

Prince's death has hit me some type of way. I'm not really trying to write about it at length, nor do I feel like I should. My love for the music he's made started out as a personal thing, primarily because people loved Michael Jackson more, and I knew Prince was iller. I just knew it, so I just kept my tapes and CDs to self. It made sense; always felt like Prince was more of an introspective guy, even if he was trying to fuck the club up with tracks like "Erotic City."

So instead of going ham on what Prince really means to me, I'll just blast Michael Watts' chopped & screwed "17 Days," which was a "When Doves Cry" flipside. RIP.



He hasn't stopped there, though...
