T.I. couldn’t have picked a worse time to be missing in action. The rapper-actor, 30, should be out hawking his long-delayed seventh album, No Mercy, which finally arrived in stores today.

  • Purple Rain (1984) – Many people think Prince wrote and directed his debut film, but he did not (that credit goes to Albert Magnoli who directed and co-wrote the script.) But Prince wrote the classic songs, from “When Doves Cry” to the title track which made the film a cult classic, and scored a 1985 Oscar for best original score. The soundtrack sold over 20 million copies.
