Prince’s Celebrity Swagger-Jackers - Page 4

“Prince is not an artist, he’s a genre”

-Toure

Round here, we love us some Purple Rain-velvet wearing-orgasm screaming Prince. We thought of the perfect gift to give him for the b-day, but what do you give a man that has everything (even a symbol as a name)? Well, there’s no better form of flattery than imitation. So, in honor of our Prince, we’ve compiled a list of artists who should thank their britches Minnesota is soo boring he had to leave and be a STAR.

Neyo

His look, his sound, his moves–all have a hint of Prince. Just listen to his track off Because of You,  “Sex With My Ex”. He’s even attributed Prince as one of his influences.

The Dream

Listening to his debut album Love Hate, the resemblance is unavoidable. Sir…you swagger-jacked.

Apollonia 6

We know her best, as the lucky girl who got to ride on the back of his motorcycle in “Purple Rain”. But did you know she a music career of her own?…thanks to Prince.

Tevin Campbell

Although he pretty much fell off after “Can We Talk”‘ and his appearance on ‘Fresh Prince’ (we miss you lil T!), Cambpell was largely influenced by our Prince.

Rihanna

Before

And After

Need we explain?

Chris Brown

He has sort of  gone in a different direction since his “Kiss, Kiss” days, but every time we see baby oil rubbed on his chest we can’t help but reminisce.

Usher

Maxwell

Didn’t expect this one did-ya? But the influence is there. Just look at the way he tips his hat…

Michael Jackson

Before you pick up your torches of fire and gather the townspeople, just take a moment to reflect. Who was hott around the same time Bad came out and Mike started rockin leather jackets and chains?…we’re just saying
