vs.
This thread is for old heads who know these ? through and through...
As the thread title states... who is better AS AN ARTISTE ( Producing, Composing, Song writing, Singing, Back-ground Vocals, Playing Live Instruments... the whole package)
They're both legends IMO and have worked or collaborated with most of the biggest names in the industry for nearly three decades... no need to overstate that here... do your research
And as stated earlier... ? record sales, awards, tours and certifications... This is just about the MUSIC

Prince. Dude is a one man orchestra.

Prince, no contest

Prince. Hands down.
-
I like Babyface, but you are dead wrong to compare him to Prince.
Prince is a fukking legend. -
Clearly not even in the same league. But not a bad matchup though.
-
Babyface is cool, but not anywhere near in the same league. Prince is a once-in-a-lifetime musical artist.
-
Prince's catalogue is just amazing... but Babyface is a BEAST as well
-
huh? Prince.

I knew before I started this thread that Prince would carry the day... after all he is more famous and popular than Face...
But ? are mad SLEEPING on Face... that dude can do everything Prince does... bar stage presence
This is a Top 10 select list of Face's songwriting and production credits... pretty impressive

Prince. He has been and can be a lot more diverse, complex, intriguing, and experimental than Babyface has ever been.

yep, pretty much. -
Babyface when it comes to writing, Prince everything else.

You better off comparing Prince to Beethoven. It would be more fair

You better off comparing Prince to Beethoven. It would be more far

I don't think Babyface is any less famous or popular than Prince. Face let his name and face be known worldwide esp. in the 90s.I knew before I started this thread that Prince would carry the day... after all he is more famous and popular than Face...

Yeah more of a producer and composer than a recording artiste... -

or Maybe Stevie that seems more like a better match. -

I agree. You have to compare Babyface more to artist like Brian McKnight or Teddy Riley. -

Teddy can stay but maybe you should replace Brian Mcnight with Kellz. -
IMO... Producing/Composing/Song-Writing
Quincy Jones >>> Babyface >>> Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis >>> R. Kelly >>> Teddy Riley...
