well in tribute of the of prince killing the super bowl (in a good way) ill tell u a little bit about this guy:

Prince Rogers Nelson (born June 7, 1958), known from 1993 to 2000 as (or informally, The Artist Formerly

Known as Prince, TAFKAP, or simply The Artist), is a popular and influential Academy Award winning

American musician.

His music has spanned myriad styles; from his early material, rooted in R&B, funk and soul,he has constantly

expanded his musical palette throughout his career, absorbing many other genres including new wave, pop,

rock, blues, jazz and hip hop. The distinctive characteristics of the early-to-mid 1980s work which brought

him to superstardom (including sparse and industrial-sounding drum machine arrangements, and the use of

synthesizer riffs to serve the role traditionally occupied by horn riffs in earlier R&B, funk and soul music)

became known as the "Minneapolis sound," which proved heavily influential.

Prince has a reputation as a workaholic, having released over a thousand songs both under his own name and

through other artists, and is known for having composed and recorded many more songs that remain

unreleased. Regarded as a perfectionist, Prince has a reputation as being difficult to work with, and for being

highly protective of his music. He writes, composes and produces most of his music single-handedly, and

plays most of the instruments on his albums. Many critics have dubbed him a musical genius because of his

versatility, dancing, singing skills, and ability to play various instruments.
