In the 2004 skit, comedian Charlie Murphy recounts the time he and his friends faced off against Prince and the Revolution in a game of pickup basketball and badly lost.

"We can call it the shirts vs. the blouses," Murphy says at the beginning of the game as Prince appears insulted. Murphy tells the audience, "I don't know what he was crying about. He knew where he got that shirt, and it certainly wasn't in the men's department."

But when Prince dominates the game, he has the last laugh. "Game: Blouses," Prince says.

The skit was based on a true story. More than three decades ago, Prince, wearing one of his trademark purple, flowing outfits, trounced Eddie Murphy and Charlie Murphy in a game of basketball. He then served pancakes to the brothers and their friends.

“They were good, man. They were really good. They were actually perfect,” Charles Murphy has said of the pancakes. “They were as good as he played guitar.”

Turns out Prince grew up playing basketball, football and baseball and he was actually quite good. He made his high school's varsity basketball team as a freshman.

"That cat could ball, man," Charles Murphy says at one point during the skit.

According to Ro, Prince was constantly creating new music, and he wanted to release as much of it as possible. At the time of the name change, he owed Warner Bros. Music five albums — but his vault of unreleased songs (rumored to exist to this day) held more than 500 tunes. So this problem should have had an easy solution, right?

Not necessarily. Warner Bros. worried about flooding the market with Prince music; Prince wanted out of his record contract because he believed that the music industry was inherently corrupt, with power accumulating in the hands of a few individuals, and that power should be restored to the artist. (The collapse of the music industry in the wake of Napster would more or less prove him right on this point, and he soured on the internet as a music-delivery mechanism later in his life.)

Thus, Prince wanted to take some of those 500 unreleased songs, put them on CDs, and be done with his contract. Warner Bros. probably wouldn't have minded that, per se, but it wanted to space out those albums to create the usual hubbub around a new release and have tours specifically geared toward the album in question. And every year Prince spent having to do that was another year he was tied to Warner.

The two sides eventually came to an understanding — one that included a greatest hits album, which is a classic move for artists and labels trying to burn off a contract neither of them wants to be part of any more — but it still took Prince years and years to get out of his contract. Those with the power had won, and he would seek to maintain as much control over his music as possible — including being reluctant to allow his music to appear on most online platforms — for the rest of his life.

A da sačekamo autopsiju i suzdržimo se postavljanja glasina o uzroku smrti? A Prince teško da više nije
bio slavan. Možda nije izdavao albume onog kvaliteta kao 80-tih, ali je još uvijek bio ogromna koncertna
atrakcija i vitalan i uzbudljiv izvođač.
