ftr i think they are both pretty classic covers, just like the chronic one much more.
you'd be right if "The Chronic" was in a word balloon coming from Dre's mouth.

Prince is about 800x bettereasier to write a shitty book about than Bowie
Fixed.

oh come on like anybody couldn't write a shitty book about bowie
― da croupier, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:06 (seventeen years ago) link
prince is like 3x as good
― 69, Monday, 12 November 2007 03:12 (seventeen years ago) link
I'd even go 10x! If we're only counting Bowie since Prince has been recording, then we're getting closer to 800.

Has Prince ever been seen publicly playing a saxophone? If not, maybe that's something Bowie does better. By default.

potshots all round seriously though even if prince and bowie were neck & neck in the writing and production stakes, prince has done a lot more vaguely embarrassing shit vis a vis blogging about himself in sub-txt msg 11-yo girl talk and trying to change his name to a hieroglyph for "sexually confused"

How beautiful do the words have 2 be Before they conquer every heart? How will U know if I'm even in the right key If U make me stop before I start?
CHORUS: If I came back as a dolphin Would U listen 2 me then? Would U let me be your friend? Would U let me in? U can cut off all my fins But 2 your ways I will not bend I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim And I'll come back again as a dolphin
Why does my brother have 2 go hungry When U told him there was food 4 all? This is the man that stands next 2 the man That stands 2 catch U when U fall (Oh!)
CHORUS
If I'm under water, will U find me? (Find me {x4}) Will U shine a light and try 2 guide me? It's happened before, I've knocked on your door But U wouldn't let me in
How beautiful do the words have 2 be Before they conquer every heart? (Oh!)
If I came back as a dolphin Would U listen 2 me then? Would U let me be your friend? Would U let me in? U can cut off all my fins But 2 your ways I will not bend I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim Come back in the end as a dolphin (Oh) (I'll come back, baby) (Let me in, let me in) As a dolphin (Be my friend) Dolphin (Yeah, yeah)
Dolphin As a dolphin As a dolphin As a dolphin

i never got past this one part where you had to swim against this really fast current or some shit. it was such a weird game. pretty graphics for the time, though.

i heard prince bowie and the stones were all gonna do the soundtrack originally but then the joke lost steam before i could finish it
― latebloomer, Monday, 12 November 2007 05:53 (seventeen years ago) link
prince is the best and dolphn is a great song especially the version on the undertaker.

Yeah! And Bowie can't really sing! (But everyone knows that already, I guess.)

This is not about one being better than the other as much as it's about not recognizing that they're both fucking talented.

But one IS better than the other, nonetheless! And I say that as someone that's loved Bowie's work since before he started sucking.
