Summary
In the second part of this 2-part series, Bomani Jones is joined by DJ Wally Sparks for a deep dive into Prince’s catalog, from the early records to the Warner years that made him a legend. They get into Purple Rain vs. Sign o’ the Times, why When Doves Cry feels untouchable, why Little Red Corvette has a real case as Prince’s best song, and which deep cuts and B-sides still hit the hardest. Finally, they have a full-on music nerd conversation about Prince’s genius period, the records that aged best, and the songs that prove nobody else was operating on his level.
