Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. I can recall another one. Like in 85, when all that and driving was going on. And what was wild was that the guy who looked the most like a b**** was getting all the women. Even I had the Jerry curls coming out, and I had my stick to the side and all that. If you wearing baggy s*** now and you acting hard, if you from LA, you m*********** was wearing some. If you be in the club we getting our groove on, shaking it up. And Prince came in, and that's when Purple Rain came out and Prince was the s***. You know what I'm saying? Prince had on like a, it was like a Zorro type outfit. He had the ruffles that come down the front, he had the big perm, the curls down, and all that and mustache and everything with the drawing on his face. And it looks like something that a figure skater would wear, you know what I'm saying? And he was with his whole crew and he had this other cat named Mickey Free. And Mickey Free was like the new cat in Shalamar, that when he joined the group, I heard mad cats like yo Shalamar got a new new girl in there man, that b**** fine like a m***********. They was talking about Mickey Free, okay? Mickey Free is not a girl, alright? They came over where we was at. Prince started talking to my brother. Hello Eddie Murphy. Prince, what's up? A big fan of your comedies. Ooh, that's hot. Would you like to come to my house and listen to some music? Ooh, that's cool. Fruity, get the car. Assemble your crew. I'll be outside. We went up there. We get there, he puts the tracks on, the tracks are slamming. You know what I mean? You listening to the music and everything, we grooving at the crib and there are girls over there. We had a nice environment, it was it was tight. This bores me. Does anyone want a game of basketball? How about you and your friends versus me and the Revolution? I was like, he's thinking I must be joking man. I don't know, I don't know where he's going with this, but he was dead serious. And he had his helper or whatever go and get some like shorts and sneakers and gave them to us. And he laughing, I'm like this is going to be the funny a** s***. So they come out, right, and I look at them and they still got on the same s*** they was wearing at the club. It was wild. I was like, I know they ain't thinking about playing ball in that, but they were. I said, hey, you know what? You know what we going to call this? The shirts against the blouses. And when I said that, this look came on his face. He ice brilliant. And I'm looking back at him thinking to myself, you know, what are you angry about? I mean, you know where you got that shirt from. And it damn sure wasn't the men's department. I mean, I kind of learned something that day. Don't ever judge a book by its cover. This cat can ball, man. Play ball. He was crossing cats like Iverson. Crossing me up. They had my new stand together. He was getting rebounds like Charles Barkley, snatching them down. Shoot the J. Shoot it. Try to play. Computer blue. Darling Picky. They was kind of setting these fruity picks, man, you know what I'm saying? Like you be trying to check Prince, and then you got this cat standing behind you and he's getting close to you and his hands is out like this. You don't really want to be bent over in front of a cat like that, you know what I'm saying? Prince was incredible. You got a towel, man, it's kind of hot out here, man. Why don't you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka? Good. And your face, Charlie Murphy. Good. Good hustle. Yo man, I'm not on your team. I mean, it wasn't even like it was close. It was a landslide victory. I was there, I seen it. You don't believe me? You think I'm making it up? You think I'm trying to, you know, enhance the story because I'm involved, or trying to give myself an excuse for losing, because I'm telling you a story about Prince, I dare you to challenge Prince to a game of ball one on one. Challenge him. Alright? And make sure your people is there to see the game, because you might get embarrassed, trust me. All right, he beat us in basketball and then what happened? After it was all over, he took us in the house and served us pancakes. Pancakes. Well, I got to admit, they were some good game. I wish I could say the same for you and your flunkies. Do you guys want some grapes? I mean, you know there's some great storytellers in the world that we live in today, man, b******. Make up their.
