  • I found Kevin Smith's account of his dealings with Prince very entertaining, but keep in mind, Kevin Smith can exaggerate and use hyperbole with respect to Prince. If what Kevin Smith said about Prince is true, Prince needs to do some soul-searching. At the end of the day, Prince hasn't died from drugs, got arrested for doing stupid stuff. Compare his shenanigans with other celebrities it's quite tame.

  • WHAT THE FUCK DOSE THAT MEAN!!!????

  • Most enlightening moment of the clip...

    "No. He just puts them in the vault."

    I guess a true artist doesn't need the accolades most would want or need.

    Should'a called himself King instead of Prince.

  • lol at 2:11...that girls face <3

  • who cares??? this douche talks to prince.. who cares.// ???

  • No reason to take sides like 5 year olds. I'm a HUGE Prince fan and am sure Kevin's not making any of this up. Prince is a musical genius AND a wierdo- you can still enjoy his music, don't worry.

  • does anyone know prince's reaction?

  • yea yea thewatchersees your comment is as relevant as Prince is today in popular music, nobody gives a shit.

  • Kevin Smith was eventually allowed to use a Prince song in one of his movies. I do not think it was the one he wanted but he has used a Prince song before.The song the music group "The Time" performs at the end of "Silent Bob Strikes Back" is a song co written and co produced by Prince.(read the credits)

    Prince has been ridiculed by every top black comedian since Eddie Murphy up to Chris Rock. He is an easy target and never publicly retaliates but Kevin is whinning like a baby here.

  • Kevin Smith has the amazing ability to make any story interesting

  • @Accisma you're a liar

  • His rant about the "bra fits" bit sounds like he's channeling The Dude from the Big Lebowski. xD

  • Kevin,he is great at story telling(like George Carlin,Bill Cosby). His time on Green Arrow and Spiderman(you still did'nt end that story) was great.

  • That`s low to tell he gets clothes in the little boys dept. As for the music in the vault, that sounds like something MJ would do. He also had a lot of music stashed away, but then again maybe it`s the professional in them that realizes the music isn`t good enough to release?

  • @paisleyyama That's not the case usually an artist will record a bunch of songs for an album and some don't make the final cut. Prince is constantly recording songs and making videos but sometimes don't release them for unknown reason.

  • @JCInsatiable319 That make sense.

  • this is so fucking entertaining :P

  • I might not share Prince's ideas or faith, but I do find him interesting . He is a talented musician, and celebrity, and celebrities can get away with this type of behavior. If you do not want to make a documentary for someone, just do not go.

  • 2:11 The horrified look on that poor girl's face...

  • lol

    "PRINCE SHOPS AT A FUCKING STORE?!?!"

  • Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate any holidays, as they think it takes away from the worship of God so Kevin saying he's wanting to celebrate Father's Day meant nothing to Prince other than proving to Kevin that he doesn't care about holidays to make a point.

  • 2:10 If the girl in the background is reading this, what were you thinking that made you look so shocked?

  • @kblargh i think she pooped a little

  • i can relate to prince's size issues. i'm around his size and it's fairly hard to find clothes that fit.

  • What a fucking asshole, making him miss fathers day. Go to hell, you egotistical bastard.

  • I hope Prince watched this, so he can see how ridiculous he really is...Genius musician though.

  • @21madmethod

    keep on dreaming dude.

  • it seems like he's making a reference at 2:17. I'm not familiar enough with prince to know where it's from. anyone know what it is, where he says what sounds like "wha-sha-wha we need you prince"?

  • This is what is sound like when "KEV's PISSED"

  • Between the Lake MInnetonka comment and the Prince-playing-basketball comment... you think that Dave Chappelle's Charlie Murphy True Hollywood Stories segment about Prince might have been lifted from this?

  • holy mother of god. when Prince dies, there is gona be a lot of bonus footage. he'll be able to release like 8 post humous albums

  • what about DIGITAL

  • sounds to me like Kev had a crush on Prince. lot like in a GAY way but just like Prince was making him his bitch. OMG but its funny

  • kev didnt you hear on Dave Chappelle the story that Charlie murphy said about prince kicking their ASS in basketball he is really good.. sounds like you dont like Fairy people.

  • dude this is so dam funny seriously.

  • This is what it sounds like, when kev's pissed!

  • "jay" from jay and silent bob at 3:25

  • i know this was filmed in the 2008 but why does everyone in the audience dress like its 1994

  • @lhorvei

    That's nerds for ya.

  • @lhorvei coz there dressed by there parents hahahaa jks love this guy

  • @lhorvei this was actually done around 2000, so that could be why.

  • @lhorvei They dress like that because they are college educated and don't dress with clothes taht don't fit and pants that keep falling off like today's loser generation

  • @lhorvei It was actually 2001/2 and they're all Clerks(1994) fans :)

  • @lhorvei Nah, they're dressing like it's Nineteen Ninety-nine.....

  • @lhorvei because it was filmed in 2001-2002.

  • 6:10 "Don't talk to me like I'm fucking Apollonia" -- The most classic line I've ever heard about an interaction with Prince. Just think of how many thousands of people who have felt that exact same way... great set Kevin!!

  • Prince has a really fucked-up idea of spirituality. And he makes awesome records. 

  • @madsketcher just because he doesn't have your idea of spirituality ( in which its ok if you dont have an idea about it) doesnt mean its fucked up. Its what we call in the world diversity and choice

  • 9:02

    Is he jerking off?

  • @xenonfear- type inm 'the athiest experience' see what you can add to that, which will be nothing! fool

  • but i have to say this is very funny....

  • prince doesn't believe in the bible he believes in the JW version which is way different.written by a some idiot charlatan 100 years ago.. an idiot that made many false prophecies. also the bible is the worst book you can use for morality. it condones slavery,baby killing,theocracy, patriarchy etc. prince is obviously a chauvinist and a narcissist too. talented yes, but intellectually bankrupt.

  • @robaquarian

    wow. where to start man. just research the stuff you just said, as opposed to repeating stuff with no basis. or else your joking, maybe your joking. hopefully

  • Comment removed

  • @xenonfear there is no room for basis here, every thing i said is true, what your basis for contradicting me?you want me to give you scriptures?. you obviously have never read the bible or you only listen to what others interpret for you. you cant cherry pick the bible. if you think its a good book your a weak minded moron. and ive read the JW bible its way different .you wanna prove me wrong do it?. im not gonna waste time on ignorance.

  • @robaquarian

    oh man. i usually don't go for these ridiculous debates, but sure why not. everything you said is wrong 1) the bible they use was first published in the 1950's. Thats around 60 years ago. And its considered by many as one of the most reliable modern translations 2) give any scriptures that condone baby killing? it clearly condemns pagans for sacrificing their kids. tell ye what, send me a message if ye want to go into it, maybe better then cloggin up here? and relax!

  • Go Kevin!!!! If the bra fits!!!!

  • Go Kevin!!!!

  • Dave Chappelle said similar things about Prince Playing basketball. Funny stuff.

  • @DanteMcSparda yeah right

  • But...... Chaka mad.

  • meh...which ever bra fits best for ya

  • Dunno, musicians get a lot of their money from touring I think.

  • Kevin Smith is hilarious! I love Kevin Smith! so funny, thanks for the video!

  • To bad they don't have a love button...I love Keven Smith...The man can tell a story man.

  • "Don't talk to me like I'm Apollonia!"

  • the asian chick at 7:32 has no sense of humor...poor lil asian chick....id bare her children

  • The guy who wrote Cream is a Jehovah's Witness. Who knew?

  • @DejectedPanda lol everyone

  • pretty goddamn obvious what he means by "if the bra fits". i guess if your life begins and ends at smoking weed and watching star wars, your cognitive abilities begin to deteriorate. dude.

  • @khalithistle ur a douche bud keep following the stereotypes

  • After seeing some scenes from Under the Cherry Moon, I lost alot of faith in Prince's taste in movies. You can't dog Prince's music. Also, after watching his Tavis Smiley interview, I'm convinced that Prince doesn't know much beyond music and thats why he doesn't do interviews very often: He doesn't have anything to say! He's uneducated and his music is all he has.

  • @psmtheman Oh come on!

  • Kinda smart to put em in a vault.. So when he dies or gets retired he still got stuff to give the fans! Imagine if Michael Jackson did that!

  • kevin smith is awesome his Q&A are better then 95% of stand up shows

    love his movies

  • I would LOVE to crack open that vault and watch those videos.

  • 6:12 hahahahahahaha

  • "IF THE BRA FITS?"

  • lies, from what i heard, he wears his outfits to play basketball.

  • 50 fully produced songs AND videos put in the vault. Wow, that little muthafucker obviously earned an outrageous amount of money back in the 80s to still be able to afford such an eccentric and extravagant lifestyle.

  • @qwisp You don't make the big money from being the performer. You make the huge bucks from owning the publishing rights. He owns the rights to all of the music he has done. He also owns the publishing rights to acts like Vanity 6, The Time, and for royalties received as a writer and producer for several other acts. He is always going to be able to afford a very comfortable lifestyle. Don't forget he sells out anyplace he tours today and he still releases new material.

  • `

    K.S. is tha phuckin' man!!!!!!!

  • If the Bra Fits

  • @liquidfreak

    LMAO...wow, this is the funniest speech I have seen in a long time! I knew that Prince was eccentric..but I didn't know he was a serious case! Unbelievable.

  • When prince die he gonna live for a long time when that volt is open. Like 2pac

  • 2:11 the woman in the background is just going "D:"

  • 9:12 i hate that artist do that, it makes me think about Dr Dre and all the music he produces and make yet theres only a fraction of it thats out there....people want to hear that shit

  • This is epic.

  • that's hilarious!!! that's like that episode of cheers where cliff & norm run out of tape at this couple's anniversary party & pretend to keep filming anway!!!

  • I like the edit switches to XG Meatheads in the audience. Creamy!

  • Wear them under your clothes!?!? Stupid.

  • Wow, does this guy love himself.

  • Holy Fuck! Check out the pale kid at 4:28 in the center with white shirt. I fucking found a vulcan!

  • LMAO!!!!

  • and if you like this story, there is a great follow up on it by Charley Murphy

  • That vault full of music idea is genius! You can only fit so many songs onto any given album. Even if you go the route of "all things must pass" there's still a limit to how many songs you can fit onto one release. And if you're full of inspiration at a certain time, it could be like money in the freakin' bank during more creatively dry times. And even if they don't get used for that, it could still end up being a posthumous legacy type of thing. It's a great idea.

  • "If the bra fits..."

  • Comment removed

  • @resedoton Or maybe it's because he's old enough to remember segregation.

  • @resedoton He always acts reserved. Look at the Tavis Smiley interview. When he mentions "the devil took it all", I think Prince literally means the devil (or possibly the music industry, which he's not really a fan of it).

  • Nordstroms boys' dept!

  • So does the Bible say you can take the women from groups that aren't Christian?

  • Prince is going to be MJ # 2 before it's all over...

  • @hongkongluna and Kevin Smith is Ed Wood #2 allready, I mean Jersey Girl? Cop out? Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back ? I wonder why his a bitter fuck who trash his colleagues , really professional, uh?

  • @powersoulboy He makes funny movies, he tells funny monologues, there is no harm in him making fun. Lighten up. All his movies ARE satires.

  • Kevin Smith's True Hollywood Stories

  • kevin smith...changed my oil

  • Well if the bra fits...

  • @ZyxthePest

    This is what is sounds like when "KEVS PISSED"...LOL

  • This is insane! Lol

  • if the bra fits . . . :LOL:

  • i love this story, hilarious, lol

  • Best Story Ever.

  • @oblterate It's right up their with Henry Rollins' "Surreal Conversation" and Bill Hick's story about almost being killed by the audience in Baton Rouge LA.

  • All I can think of while he's talking about Prince playing basketball is Charlie Murphy's true Hollywood stories.

  • 2:55 i finally got what that ment, =P , that's a reference to Hamlet, i dunno how da fuck i didnt noticed that before

  • Over the past twenty-four hours, Kevin Smith has done the equivalent of strapping a giant bullseye on his chest, while taking a massive sloppy shit on the very people who made him who is today.

    Starting last night and continuing today Smith has hit Twitter to voice his discontent about the bad reviews his film "Cop Out" received, seemingly only reading his reviews now, for a film that came out a month ago.

  • The guy who did Cop Out and Jersey Girl is making fun of the greatest genius of the XX century?

    why I'm not surprise?

  • @powersoulboy he aint making fun he is a leo with a leo moon brutally honest. he is a little bit lol.

  • @PanayotiProductions what honesty got to do with a show? this is a act dude, this is not real life, Kevin Smith is selling his ass making fun of his colleagues (Tim Burton, Conan O' Brien, Prince), people pay to see the Kevin Smiths monologues.

    He is funny but his a jerk too and if you ask me, he sound a little bit bitter too.

  • i totally agree. he is too honest. i am not saying he is acting diplomatic. he is a bit of a back stabber :)

  • @PanayotiProductions LOL! you are right, I will never hired Kevin Smith to do any film more me, he sooo not professional, funny dude but definitely a back stabber.

  • ...If Prince is a genius, Stephen Hawkins is a motherfucking DEITY.

  • @Powersouldboy: Since when is Prince the greatest genius of ANY century? By what measure is Prince a genius?

  • @ftpolkman by the same measure that concludes that Kevin Smith is funny and original.

  • @ftpolkman Just what defines a genius? What is a genius? He probably is talented and that is what God's blessed him with. Everyone has a gift and some just didn't discover them yet. What strong feeling in your heart do you feel that you can do, regardless of money. What makes you happy and what can you do?

  • @powersoulboy if you pay attention to anything Kevin Smith does you'll realize that he's not making fun of him. He's actually a huge prince fan.

  • @vivalavelveeta are you high?

  • @thefonkykid Get a life you retard

  • Lovely chick on 9.05!

  • maybe he saves the stuff in the "vault" for when he dies?

  • I'm a fan of both Prince and Kevin Smith. For years I have thought that Prince walks the fine line between genius and insanity. No one could be that creative without being a little crazy. I'm glad Kevin 'forgot' to sign the confidentially agreement. LOL And a few audience members look a little mad that Kevin is talking about Prince this way. Get over it, people. Prince is still a mortal man who takes a shit&piss just like the rest of us.

  • @Cryvox Prince is a mortal for sure, but Kevin Smith is a grown up man, no one force him to do that and is so unprofessional of him try to trash Prince.

    I never seen Prince or famous filmmakers trash anyone, Kevin Smith is funny but it has no class.

  • @Cryvox Because prince writes and plays music it seems as if he is not human. How and what is he like in person? He doesn't seem real.

  • @Demetriusdionne

    It's possible to get lost, literally and figuratively in an artistic pursuit...especially when it's your career. Prince is more than a little crazy. I love his music, especially the stuff up to the early 90's (pre-symbol days) but the man isn't firing on all pistons. He's definitely human, just so isolated and so introspected, having so many people willing to do whatever he says, no matter if it makes sense, that he's gone loco.

  • @TheJiggsCasey Getting people to do whatever he wants is the reason why Prince is the way he is now. If people didn't give him whatever he wanted he would be fine. He needs to approach things tactfully.

  • @Demetriusdionne

    Oh I don't disagree with that, Demetrius. Power corrupts, yes? I think that's part of the whole issue. It reminds me a little of how Howard Huges became in his latter years. Too many yes-men and not enough true, sincere people trying to actually help him with a reality check. Michael Jackson and probably dozens of others as well.

  • @TheJiggsCasey You know, Prince is a very down to earth person. His education in music keeps him well rooted into reality. He has a sense of how far to test his limits. It does help when people are supportive in his endeavors of the arts. People around him appreciate and understand his creativity. They know he is a special person and his gifts need time to cultivate and grow. They'll just be patient with him. However, the people around him know they are definately in reality.

  • @Demetriusdionne

    I'll have to agree to disagree somewhat here, Demetrius. I love the guy's music, love his style...but he's a so high up the cookoo metre now that I'm really not sure he knows anyone else is around. =)

  • @TheJiggsCasey That doesn't sound to ah.?!/? He's probably just tryinig to think creatively. He doesn't want his fans to get bored. He's not trying to retire. Can you imagine if he started doing drugs. I think the world would run. Prince would hurt somebody if he were on drugs. He's already possessed and his followers like myself would go off a deep end. I'm already easily taken by him anyway especially being a female.

  • Prince rocks any time at any place, Kevin Smith movies...suck real bad.

  • @powersoulboy Yeah thats why hes a very popular director writer.

  • i think he just got stephanie fired

  • Actaully she really was fired after this was released. =[

  • the chick in the background at 2:10 has the expression of someone who was just told that aliens landed in New Mexico. jaw dropped, eyes wide, can't look away.

  • Yo! You could not make this stuff up! Brilliant!

  • I LUV the Appolonia reference. LOL

  • Prince is great! wonderful story kev!

  • @thefonkykid

    Keep in mind that he did not say, "Hey, guys who wants to hear about Prince?!" He is responding to what his fans ask of him. Being the open guy that he is, he happily obliges them. His fans ask about his life and that will bring up his interpretation of situations he has been in.

    Point being, it is not so much a malicious attack on the people he mentions (notice, he said more than once that he is a major Prince fan) as much as it is him expressing his opinion.

  • Prince is a genius

  • Prince has thousands of tracks stored in his vault. Tens of thousands. He could put out 100 new albums tomorrow. Apparently he records an average of three new songs every day. He's a stone cold genius but he's also completely insane.

  • when prince is dead. ( lets hope his brilliant ass makes it to 150 yrs old) someone should make plans to raid his vault!!!! imagine the musical diamonds in there

  • prince is the F'n MAN!!

  • So Funny!

  • WOW that's fucking scary. "He just pute them in a vault..." Enough said.

  • @fuzzynippleman It's safe to say we're going to be seeing a lot of "new" material by Prince slowly coming out long after Prince is dead cause of that vault.

  • Tupac Style

  • I'm sure Van Gogh created works of art that never saw the light of day. Prince is an artist. Creating is probably more of his love than actually putting things out. Prince is crazy like any other great artist.

  • well...you are half right...And how does history remember Van? As a wonderfully entertaining madman. He cut off his fucking ear for a prostitute that never gave a shit about him and Prince....well I don't have to finish that do I?

  • Yeah... you're right and I guess history will remember him as a painter who's work is worth tens of thousands of dollars and Prince will be remembered as a Rock&Roll hall-of-famer who went in the first year of eligibility along with Elvis and The Beatles and sold millions of records..

  • This whole thing sounds like that Dave Chapelle skit

  • lol, at least he didn't challenge him to a game of basketball.

  • Lmfao I swear Kevin Smith's Q&As are funnier than mosts peoples stand up comedies

  • @Tit0Matic why his movies aren't this funny? because he sucks as a director, I wonder why he tried hard to trash his own colleagues in every monologue, he went after Kurt Cobain, Bruce Campbell, Tim Burton, Guillermo Del Toro and now after Prince. It's ironic cause most of them have better work and most successful career then him.

  • @thefonkykid noone asked for your hatin ass opinion

  • @thefonkykid And he would be the first one to tell you that he doesn't compare to them. He says it all the time. That's why he said he couldn't do this for Prince, because he just makes "dick and fart joke" movies. He's the most humble guy around, and your jealousy is what makes you attack. He doesn't suck as a director, you just suck as a human being.

  • "Don't talk to me like I'm f---in' Apollonia, you know, and you want me to jump into the f---in' waters of Lake Minnetonka or something like that!" LMAO

  • Wow another story that mentions Prince playing basketball, I'm starting to believe Charlie Murphy wasn't playing about his story on Chappelle's Show, hmmm. . .

  • @wudzbwoijmar Actually neither of Charlie Murphy's story's are false. Prince was on the top of his basketball team back in High School, and we all know Eddie and Rick James use to hang out and Rick was crazy as all hell.

  • prince is gonna kill me for laughing at this.

    i love him :(

  • I think it was low of Kevin to talk about Prince's height that way, because it's nothing he can do about. Yeah he's short, but why do people always have to talk about that?
