Prince redefined a genre like no other artist before or after him has. i mean look at soul and funk music before 1999 and purple rain paisly park and sign of the times and then look at it after...hell prince had even MJ taking notes.

Yup

On The Edge of Insanity:
They are both extremely dope, but I have always prefered Curtis Mayfield out of the two, mainly because he stayed dope throughout his career, where as Prince went very strange on us for a number of years, and was putting out albums which didn't really deserve to have his name attached to them, judging by the difference in quality between them and his earlier albums.

Lincoln:
I'm reading good arguments from both sides, I've been playing them both like crazy the last couple days and I am having trouble deciding. I guess I'll keep listening.

Kill:
I don't listen to either alot cause it ain't my favorite style of music, but for me it's Mayfield too. Like Waitin for The DJ said, I haven't heard anything strange or low quality by him and I'm just feelin tracks like "Move On Up", "Superfly" or "Pusherman" more than anything Prince ever did

Shallow:
The thing is the too are very close when it comes to talent, and saying one is better than the other would be fine no matter who you choose. I mean it's not like Tupac vs. Chingy, or anything like that.
