Chris' face the whole time was like "i can't believe I'm interviewing Prince"
-
You can tell Chris is a real fan and Prince respects his thoughtfulness.
-
I love the genuine wonder and curiosity in Chris's eyes. Historic interview.
-
For Chris Rock to get this interview at that time was MAJOR!! REST IN POWER TO THE PURPLE ONE, PRINCE!!!
-
Chris Rock in my opinion did a really good job of interviewing Prince, seemed well prepared and asked a lot of really good questions.
-
Chris Rock conducted the hell out of that interview. He and Prince were both amazing. RIP Prince.
-
26 years later and those Versace sunglasses are still dope af🔥
-
Prince was and IS STILL the COMPLETE package.......PERIOD!!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
-
Wow Prince was almost 40 in this and looked like a teenager he was really beautiful and I miss him so much 🥲
-
You can tell Prince is impressed by Chris' research and knowledge
-
LMFAOOOOOOO. The infamous "I sure as hell ain't singing that to you. And you sure as hell ain't singing that to me" 💀
-
Magical. This is the type of quality content we like to see from the MTV vault. Excellent interview.
-
There will never be another Artist like Prince
-
Chris is slaying this interview, really dialed in to Prince. He started of with some sensitive subject matter…androgyny, etc. Prince seems humble and thoughtful, and appears he doesn’t get offended easily
-
Prince really helped Chris out in this interview and made him look better. That's awesome. It's clear Prince had a lot of respect for Chris and elaborated his answers to help the interview. I remember watching this interview when it was new and I don't remember it being this rough. This is the most down to earth I have ever seen Prince. Really great to see these two showing great respect for one another. That's cool. Also where's the Michael Jackson collaboration question?
-
In such a dignified way, he said Michael wasn’t on his level because he would only compare himself with a composing musician. I have always felt the same in that comparison.
-
Best interview ever.. Chris was thrilled to see Prince. Me tooo.😂
-
Man you can see just how happy Chris is to get to know him like this.
-
Prince just embodied music. Musical notes were like blood cells to him. Miss him so much.
-
So happy to see this interview, Chris Rock did one hell of a job interviewing Prince and prince rarely did an interview and who can blame him, he was selective, he didn’t let just anyone in his circle.
