#BBB NEWS| Questlove Pens Poignant Tribute To Prince

Tributes to Prince continue to pour out in an immense wave of remembrance and celebration. Fellow artists across the globe have paid their respects to the fallen artist through song, including Rihanna to Bruce Springsteen. Now, Questlove shares a poignant essay on The Purple One.

In the passage published on Rolling Stone, The Roots member recalled the first time he heard Prince’s music after snagging a copy of 1999, to the span of his influence across all genres while creating his very own sound of music.

“Prince was singular in his music. He was his own genre. That same singularity extended to everything. He went the other way in life, too,” he writes. “As he got older, the way he managed his career showed off that contrary streak. It came to the forefront in the way he mastered his records, in the way he handled reissues, in the way he used (or didn’t use) the Internet and online streaming services. In the summer of 2014, his old band, the Revolution, reunited at First Avenue in Minneapolis. They were all set up for him to join in and play. He drove right past. Prince was a great drummer, and he was always marching to his own beat.”

#BBB NEWS| WATCH: Alfonso Ribeiro Teaches Snoop Dogg How To Do The Signature ‘Carlton’ Dance [PHOTO/VIDEO]

One of the most recognizable dances in the history of dance moves just received the G-stamp of approval.

While in New York City at the Metropolitan Opera House, Snoop Dogg bumped into actor Alfonso Ribeiro, who’s affectionately known for his role as Carlton Banks on the early 90s show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. One of the popular things the snarky character honed — besides getting clowned by Will Smith — was his self-titled dance move.

The crazed routine has been done by those brave enough to continue extending its place on the dance floor, and Snoop D-O-double-G decided to learn the move from the originator himself.

“You can teach a new dog a new trick if you’re willing to listen,” Snoop said. Ribeiro demonstrated the longstanding choreography while someone belted out its theme song, “It’s Not Unusual” by Tom Jones.

#BBB NEWS| Zoe Saldana Channels A Broken Woman (Not Nina Simone) In Offbeat Biopic

It’s easy to compare artists these days and it stems from a number of things. The influencers are still just as dynamic as the admirers, samples are noticeable than ever in all genres (blame nostalgia) and authenticity isn’t something that thrives in heavy amounts on the Billboard charts.

To seek out true talent, one must dive deep into the music scene (or your Soundcloud), bringing a new definition to “discovering music.”

When it comes to Nina Simone, there’s no one that can compare, and this is the reason why the biopic falls flat. While watching the Cynthia Mort-directed film, we’re reminded that the singer is the best to ever do it, with endless news headlines and recreations of her legendary album covers making up the opening credits.

Aside from this, the audience learns next to nothing about Ms. Simone, besides her battles with alcoholism, mental illness and a dynamic fashion sense. It also fails to answer the most basic of questions about the singer. Why was her music prolific? Who inspired her? It’s implied that we should know these things, yet uncovers the film’s discrepancies with the singer’s family. If they were involved, we could have seen another side of the singer that was portrayed in the 2015 Oscar-nominated documentary, What Happened, Miss Simone.
