Van Jones on Prince's flow

Prince wrote music the way you write e-mails, okay? If you were transported to some world where the ability to write e-mails was some rare thing, you would be Prince. He was just writing music all the time. He slept it, he thought it. And it wasn't all great—some of it was good, some of it wasn't. But he had no expectation, he was just being himself. It's like you cut the water faucet on—I don't think the faucet is sitting there thinking, "This is the best water ever!" The faucet is just doing what the faucet does. That's kind of how he was.
