Part 1: • Morris Day on Joining ...
In this clip, Morris Day opened up about hearing of Prince's death while he was traveling and not believing it was true at first. He explained that the loss of his childhood friend hit him "like a ton of bricks" later that evening. Morris went on to speak about meeting up with Prince to play a show at Paisley Park two months prior, and he added that nothing seemed out of the ordinary about Prince. He then added that Prince was making plans for them during the meeting, which you can hear more about above.
Prince realized that Morris was his brother and not an employee or rival.
jay love He definitely was a friend
@Domo Jones true that.
Beautiful enlighten statement!!!
Morris was prince friend but prince wAs not his friend
YeahOr Prince was high on opiates
Would be nice if Vlad realized he was interviewing Morris Day and not Prince's biographer
This! I love Prince, but I love Morris as well. I got excited when I saw he was being interviewed , but hell its all about Prince. Its good to know inside stuff, but still!
Reminds me of Oprah's New Edition interview in '96... She only really talked to Bobby... About Whitney. Nothing about New Edition.
@Forbearance Bear he's promoting a book about Prince
Ok I thought it was just me like ok this man is an Artist himself but you made the whole interview about Prince..Morris was humble though he gave him the interview he wanted without being bitter about it
Facts bruh!
Damn he fought back then tears like a soldier 😢
your not a soldier for holding back tears, soldiers cry all the time
Xlover NewmanPro you’re
Yes he did
Teddi Bear I saw it too.. 😓
I kept looking for him to raise the sunglasses and wipe his eyes
Always pay attention to the signs when someone in your life says something for the first time.
Real talk
Poignant statememt
No doubt, if you know something say something. John Lennon’s killer cornered James Taylor in a subway the day before John was murdered and was talking about “meeting” John but James never mentioned it to John.
Word
Duane Baldwin Yes, this is so true. It’s like they are trying to tell you something but you sometimes completely miss it, until it’s too late. It’s happened to me, and you just look back and think, why didn’t I see it coming...
*MORRIS DAY IS A LEGEND . HE'S AN O.G. - TRIPLE - O.G.*
Thank You!
Co- signing your shit ..(deep voice) Yeah!!!
I haven’t seen someone use TRIPLE OG in a minute haha this is the best comment 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪
Preach brother!
I watched the entire interview. Morris's humility is otherworldly. He's extremely articulate, thoughtful, genuine. He seems to not have a pretentious bone in his body. Very refreshing interview from him.
Alot of people said this regarding Morris since childhood
Listening 2 the audio book. Idk if I would of dealt with Prince. There r 3 sides 2 a story but man 2 hear Morris give all the props 2 Prince shows growth. Hate how the estate is jerkin him
Damn this katt knew prince since High School? I bet that sh*t DID hit like a ton of bricks fam! 40+ years bro he may as well have been your brother. Rip
Actually junior high school
I know it’s got to be hard losing friends you knew longer than you didn’t.
Word
Morris' mom was his first manager. And Prince's too.
They were brothers. Back in the day, we were all we had...every neighborhood, every high school, every person had a road dog, and a stack of records to inspire you to do whatever you wanted to do .... that was how it was back then...
Vlad has such a condescending way of interviewing people. Morris is a musical talent in his own right.
Absolutely!
AGREED
He really does. I am always so conflicted watching his interviews because he does get interviews from non-mainstream people who have something to say but on the flip side, he's condescending, arrogant and he's interrogating them like he's officer Vlad. I like seeing the people being interviewed but Vlad always has to be extra and add his whatever to the interviews and i get sick of that.
@@fredl.johnson8443 well stop watching because im enjoying this interview
@@reasedogable Sure Vlad. thanks for responding.
At least Morris got some degree of closure in the form of an I Love U and well deserved props considering how he'd been treated over the years.
It was the first time he said it, but Morris already knew. Most people have relatives and or friends in their life and you just know based on your experiences. Sometimes you don't say it because as men we are taught if you say that you love someone, you're soft.
Dirt Digler some of that purple rain money would of been nice too
Dirt Digler I agree that was bullshit you don’t treat your friends your friend like garbageYou treat people like you wanna be treated
@@javisoprano1010 He may have received a bonus if he showed up to set without Prince having to send out a search party on the regular to drag him in.
Cristil lin stfu , you sound stupid 🤭
I could listen to this cat talk all day.
Really?
He seems like a real genuine guy.
@@RedStl you think so huh?
I could sit in a chair behind him fir hours and just listen to him tell stories about his career. Reminds me of my brother; can tell a story straight but half the time you're laughing at the visuals of the scene he's describing.
@@sevensixfour5838 don't hate. Its unbecoming.
Morris knows more about the drug use, but as a good friend he's protecting Prince's privacy.
Orrrr....the Midwest had a severe problem with accidental fentanyl overdoses because fake stuff laced with that shit was being mixed in with the real stuff and there was no way to tell the difference. Lots of people have died that way and still do
Just for a little clarity, Prince became dependent on painkillers due to a hip surgery (he injured his hip landing a jump splits dance move during a concert) and had been using a stylized cane to walk for a few years, but he kept performing and relied on the pills to get him through. He died from an accidental Fentanyl overdose. He wasn't using the drugs recreationally, it was actually for pain relief but he took too much and it caused an irregular heartbeat and respiratory failure.
Orrrr....the Midwest had a severe problem with accidental fentanyl overdoses because fake pills laced with that shit were being mixed in with the real stuff, and there was no way to tell the difference. Lots of people have died that way and still do. He didn't have this problem with the other stuff years prior.
Thats what they want you to think, he knew what was up fr.
I still don’t believe Prince had a drug problem in terms of wanting to get high. I believe he had chronic pain (stories of being unable to play guitar because his hands hurt too much & hip replacement) and over medicated himself.
I agree. I remember having braces put on and off, tightened and changed. My mouth was hurting so bad that I wanted to take 10 pills because I thought the recommended dose was not doing enough. Couldn't imagine what it'll feel to have hip pains and trying to walk.
All abuse of drugs/alcohol is done to deal with some kinda pain Either physical or mental
@@powderedtoastfacekillah734 or emotional
I agree. I feel he was trying to relieve his self from his pains not taking drugs to abuse them. Media loves to take things and turn it to a negative. I hate when that happens. No one knew how much pain Prince was in. The world just wants to classify him as a abusive drug user. That is sad.
Prince said he told Judith hill his hand hurts and she she said stop taking those pills he said no I can't if so then I can't play anymore than if I can't play I rather die if I can't play anymore he said he was going to focus on playing piano instead of the guitar
Morris Day's a class act!!
The Whitehouse being lit up purple in tribute to prince after his death was epic
Sho was!!!
Really, I must look that up 😮
I just googled it... It actually didn't happen lol.
No Name yes it did stupid fuck!!!
@David Butler Obama was still in office at the time.
Bro you can see the tears well up in His eyes behind the glasses. Powerful.
I was shock to hear about prince passed away 😟💜💜💜💜
I never cried more in my life when I heard Michael Jackson, prince, my mom & Kobe Bryant died
Wow! Had to shed a tear on this one. The whole interview with Morris Day is probably one of my most favorite VLAD interviews by far. I'm definitely getting the book! RIP Prince
After all the years that passed Prince finally realized that Morris was true to him and not a people user.
These interviews with Morris Day are great. The interviewer asks solid, honest questions and Morris gives insightful answers. Really great.
I saw Prince for the first time live at the Forum in Inglewood on April 21, 2011. He was 52 years old, and looked and moved like he was no older than 38. I was blown away that a man of his age and accomplishment was still putting on a show like he had something to prove. Three hours of showmanship at the highest level. Exactly 5 years later to the day, he was dead. Crazy.
Tyka said that prince told her back in 2014 that he came to do all he wanted to do so prepare yourself and take care of my home ... prince already knew ahead of time he didn't have much time left to do much in the next two more years
@@thepromiseman7745 a lot of people look at Tyka sideways cus they don't know how honest she's being. From what I've heard they were never really super close, at least not how she makes it seem.
@@theDavidChannel1 I really can't judge her of what she said but she said that what he told her ..I wasn't there so that's his sister so I know that they were never kinda close but he helped her during her hard times struggle with drugs ..so I'm not the one to say because idk what prince could of have told her
I am glad they reconciled... Prince had his prickly moments but the Time was legit amazing, and Morris and company made the most of it. I am SO SO glad Prince and Morris ending on good terms and nothing was left unsaid. As it is a awful experience when someone passes and you wish you could of told them how you felt about them.......
Everybody should buy Princes memoir “The beautiful ones” he talks about his early girlfriends and his parents
Thank you. Sounds good.
Modern Aire lol I hated possessed lol, it was great to finally to read princes owns words and not hearsay stuff
Katie von Gremp it’s an awesome book
My brother bought it for me for Christmas
@@behavioristbusiness7372 If you only knew what circles the one(s) Prince and the Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions...
My mother died the same day as Prince from breast cancer...he was her favorite artist. I guess momma wasn't leaving with him behind.
Teresa Jenkins wow... my mom died that same day as well! 😩
@@mercedeswalker6982 praying you have comfort too
Teresa Jenkins Thank so much. I’ll keep you in prayer as well.. especially on that day!
My condolences to your mother
When Morris adjust his glasses it's like a movie in SLO Mo. He a cool MF
YEAH THAT SHIT EPIC
Yeah...when you go to wikipedia and look up 'Cool', Did you know they have Morris picture there with Jam and Lewis as references?
Love for Morris....brought the book on my kindle!!!
Morris you are the man! Thank you DJ Vlad for this insightful interview.
you're welcome - it was an honor to do it
Well spoken Morris. Your book is heaven for any reader. Fan or no fan....great read man!
Prince was always my favorite. Not because we shared the same birthday or the fact that he died on my daughter's birthday but because he was too funky! R.I.P.
Prince was not into drugs. He took drugs for his pain.
Today drugs are 10x more addictive and doctors are the new drug dealers..
I think they poison HIM....that man was a fuckin genius....when he wrote slave on his dace no accident
@Deese Knutz He may not have been a regular drug user but he got addicted..and that took him OUT..
We honestly do not know what Prince was indulging,during his Last Days on Earth🌎
Same thing. Still a drug problem when you use drugs against doctor's orders. Not saying he was wrong for trying to fight the pain. But whether recreational or medically habit formed, it's still addiction.
The clouds had a purplish hue to them that tragic day, and a huge rainbow appeared over Paisley Park. I will never forget that. Then later that night, about 100,000 of us gathered downtown and celebrated his life in the streets near the club that helped start it all, First Avenue. R.I.P. the G.O.A.T.
Still miss the man.😢😢😢💜💜💜
Denise Matthews passed 2 months before Prince maybe her death was kind of a wake up call that we need to let others know that we love them.
I think that triggered him a bit also.
Yess I miss Denise 😢
I'm from the Eastcoast and went to college in Minnesota in 81' when all these guys were just starting to get big. Many of my college friends went to high school and grow up on the same street and neighborhood with these guys. They would often talk about them. I really wasn't into the Minneapolis sound and personalities of that music at that time. In retrospect (today) it's really good to see how solid of a person Morris Day is. The brother seems to have a genuine spirit and honest quality. The interviewer should interview Morris Day for his talents and contributions to the Minneapolis music seen and not just an appendix of Prince. He was extremely talented and his band the Time were equal to Prince's band on some levels.
This, is who I grew uo to from 8yrs old until now and he is still real af!!
Entire interview is about Prince...Morris doesn't seem to mind tho
Morris is all about the exposure for the book sales.
Morris gets it. Prince is very much responsible for Morris' career. Morris was just too talented, and difficult to control.
@Chris King him, Wendy and Lisa, Jill Jones , Dez Dekerson
Rather hear a Morris on Morris.
Was so sad around Minneapolis when prince died !
Morris day still one cool individual, he’s an enjoyable listen. Thanks for these👍
I still believe Prince was targeted by The Powers that be! Morris knows it but can’t say anything! Prince has his masters & was ready to take his music which he owned 100% to another level!
He had a habit. I wish I could blame somebody else, but I really just can’t convince myself of that. He’d been experiencing terrible pain and was struggling. May he RIP, he’s my favorite.
Prince was very healthy at the time of his death. He was injected with something at a hospital weeks before his death.
When you make deals with those powers you get the shit end of the stick same with Michael
Orrrr....the Midwest had a severe problem with accidental fentanyl overdoses because fake stuff laced with that shit was being mixed in with the real stuff and there was no way to tell the difference. Lots of people have died that way and still do
Prince did a lot for Morris Day but don't make it seem like Morris had no talent of his own
Love Morris Day and his book is incredible.
I hope people realize the different is Denise aka Vanity had just passed.... her passing really affected Prince.
Still waiting for the Morris Day interview.
"THE" MORRIS DAY!!! 😍 I'm such a fan.....
Morris Day is a class act. Hey from SE Minnesota.
I miss Prince so so so much!
Morris knows what he's talking about. VLAD sometimes seems to be clueless when it comes to many subjects. Morris is 100% correct when he says that it is easier for a person to overcome drug addiction when they're younger as opposed to being in their 50s. It's not impossible; it's just much easier when you're younger.
Vlad has the best interviews! Priceless information not shared anywhere else.
That was my reaction when I walked into the CNN food court and saw it on the big screen. I thought it was someone working there or a partygoer. Then my phone started blowing up. No lie. Everyone who’s ever know me knew what Prince meant to me. Obviously didn’t know him, but you couldn’t tell my crying eyes that.
Why did i laugh at the fact prince came out the dark corridors clapping, in such typical fashion of him...😂👏🏾👏🏾
Love this story.. finally Morris got some closure.. Better late than never...I so can relate to what Morris saying glad it happened but so needed it earlier in life. but again better late than never.
Stages of grief
Prince suffer from chronic hip problems he had a few operations he did not wake up one morning and say I want to do drugs. because it gets me high the brother was in pain.
Exactly I tell folks the samething its not like he was on Coke and Crystal. He had been performing in Heels for years holding guitars and basses. Not to mention the countless hrs of rehearsals. With a unmatched work ethic
And they leave out that he was murdered basically. He tght he was taking regular hydrocodone, the pill. If you look it up by the shape and number it was that BUT 5he actual ingredients were a deadly, deadly form of Fentanyl. Prince had a so much fetanyl in him that it would kill an 2 elephants making it impossible for him to have knowingly ingested.
No different than the situation so many millions of Americans have gone through thanks to corrupt medical and pharmaceutical industries which took people in pain and DESTROYED them, thereby creating the atmosphere for the opioid epidemic which is STILL ravaging this country.
Candice Cantu So are they supposed to not give him pain medications post surgery and for chronic hip issues ?
Cikidi Harrison I don’t think he had operations because of his jehovah witness faith
I wish you take those glasses off ain't no sun nowhere in that room 😆he's a cool cat daddy.. truly a one-of-a-kind
He's Morris.
He probably high as a Muthafucker
@@sevensixfour5838 😆 😆 😆
@@chocboiwonda6810 😆 😆 lol
The eyes are the "mirror" to our soul.
Listening to Morris speaking on this, I cannot help but feel Prince knew he was going to die soon and wanted to have his own type of closure. One being telling Morris how much he meant to Prince. Prince even invited Madonna to P's place and had some words with her whom he hasn't spoken to for years, but at one time were friends. I also feel the death of Vanity and her dying on the same month and day but different year as Prince's beloved mother passing was the catalyst of Prince wanting to end his life. Prince had chronic physical pain, but the death of Vanity as I stated on the same day and month but different year of his beloved mother, was more painful than the chronic physical pain itself.
Great interview!!
This guy gives a excellent performance t went to my first show about 9 years ago I can honestly say they gave the best live performance that I had seen of any group ever...trust and belive I will be at the next one if they come to town.
BRAVO BRAVO 👏 🙌 THE COOL!!!!!! LOVE HIS BOOK. I listen 2 the audiobook while I'm at work
I have much respect for Morris Day. He is a good man.
Vanity passed away around that same time…Prince must’ve been very sentimental no matter what his persona and like any artist, inspired by Love. You have to believe the effect you can have on a person
I would've loved seeing Prince and Morris Day perform together on the same stage. It would've been awesome if they performed together at one of the Super Bowls during halftime.
*Damn thats heartbreaking, Bro!!!*
This video and the Matthew Knowles video are the most professional videos in the Vladtv catalog. Omarion video is one of the most articulate videos, but his transparency is nowhere near the the openness of Morris Day.
I saw Prince during his 1999 tour while I was in high school. As a major Prince fan I wanted to forever savor those memories. I decided to never go to another Prince concert, which I did not. My fondest memories will forever be the early to late 80's. Hip Hop was birthed during that time period as well. I saw Run D-M-C in my high school gymnasium. The memories are priceless.
Morris Day a very humble person..Very nice video..A 40 year friendship.That,speaks for it's self..R.I.P. Prince.
Great interview💯
I can see the emotion even though he has sunglasses on.
he is just a really great guy, i love you morris as a musician,as guitarist i want o say thank you for being such a gentleman, and a wonderful artist,!
Like Orlando brown said prince knew what time it was so did Michael Jackson
I seen that interview when he said prince was pacing back in forth in the parking lot at Walgreens
@@thepromiseman7745 "why would Prince be outside Walmart?' " That part!" "Why would Kardashians get robbed? That part!"
Morris looks better than ever. One handsome man. Very articulate and intelligent. So cool 😎 from day one.
Morris must understand...he was not experiencing chronic hip pain at 25. So there was no need for the use fentanyl or opioids. Great insight and interview though Morris. You’re the only one that keeps it real about Prince and keep it that way brutha.
RIP TO PRINCE THE MASTER
I am getting the book.💯
They went back and they both connected for life for real,this is bigger than music
Love the Interview ;) Love Prince ....and Morris in Purple Rain is AMAZING!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate these interviews that have to do with Prince Vlad. You've done them before but i hope you can continue to bring more insight about him through interviewing those who were around him. Nobody else does what you do. Everybody else just interviews what is hot at the moment. You are unique. Please continue doing you. Again...I appreciate you and what you do man. #Salute #Respect #VladTv
Morris was a real friend
I was the first person that Prince ever said i love u to.
😭😭😭😭
You deserve it
Lmaoooooo!!!
Ctfup!!!!!
Prince knew he was about to leave, that's why he told Morris how he felt about him. That's tuff.
Actually Prince was like that to people that because he had just lost 2 old friends. You just never know who will be next
Rest In Paradise to the legendary Prince Rogers Nelson. Unparalleled!!!!
Much love and respect, Morris
Prince knew he was gonna die 😭💜
I love 💕 Morris Day 🥰 and the Time 💕 Always 💯👊🏾
I remember now when listening to Morris someone on the news saying that it was an employee found unconscious.
More Prince stories and more flashbacks!!
If there's one private candid heartfelt conversation I'd love to sit in on, it's the last one between Morris & Prince.
Maurice deserved that round of applause 👏🏿
He misses his brother yo 💔
great interview. I always thought Morris was a cool dude back in the beginning, and he is still solid now.
Such a humble man. He loved and respected Prince. Like a Big Brother. All he said that Prince put him thru he still stayed loyal 100%. Thats Homie Love.
Man them guys. I am so glad they had that moment. It is sad that we have these histories together with our friends and we rarely tell them we love them. I do tell them now because you never know.
It was really sad the struggle he hid was so much deeper and so so heart breaker he def battled it alone stuck in his head most of the time 💔 he knew it was coming but the reassurance he wanted others to have
Prince the greatest of all time
Faktualiteez....
MJ
@@Thedearster prince played instruments wrote songs and created bands.
@@steveshowtime MJ did the same thing. Not even gonna get into this. Prince did not have the impact on the music industry MJ had. And that isn't even a debate, that's a fact
@@Thedearster what musical instrument did he play? It is a debate that's why you commented in the first place? Thats not a fact only an opinion. I actually like MJ Prince more but give me facts. Lol
Sad and sweet at the same time 😭.
wow, learned so much.
i'll never forget that evening we had a very beautiful purple sunset in my place in the world
I got my book & I’m going to read it!
RIP PRINCE, u are 1 of the greatest of all times. U are truly missed.
Owe-wee-owe-we-owe. Morris is unrecognizable here either from age or those sunglasses. Loved his music. From a white boy!
