I think (?) he's complaining about the industry being so geared towards corporate 360 deals, maybe?

.

And he's only bitching about them because he ain't getting those kind of offers.

Well. Yes. Then again, they gave Madonna one. It's not that he couldn't sign one, but since he's not Jay Z, a 360 deal would be exploitive and contradictory for a guy making moves to own his own masters, and act like an independent artist.

.

The current mood amongst some "urban radio" music acts is to bitch about the 360 offers that were supposed to be an alternative business model. All they did was dip into their pockets from more direections, and shut out all but 5 annointed songs at a time from radio airplay. A lot of those people are has beens or fluke successes that benefited from payolla to begin with, but anyway, I think this is what Prince is talking about, only he hasn't been in the trenches for so long, he's confused. You can google NY radio station "Hot 97, Ebro, and Chuck D" to learn more about some current controversy and the kind of thing I'm guessing Prince is picking up on.

"“What I’m saying is really basic,” he said. “I don’t know how you could misunderstand it. Clear Channel owns all the radio. Someone is making the playlist for all the stations across the country, and it’s all corporately owned. You know iHeartRadio? They don’t sell records… If I’m going to play, I get paid a million dollars. How are they going to make that if they don’t sell any records? That’s why you see the same few artists playing all of their festivals; they own the publishing, they own the songs, they own everything"

what is this all about? Is he complaining about radio plays or record sales or internet streaming or what?


He's saying the same thing he was talking about years ago how all these companies and all these entertainers all being connected and owned by one big conglomerate. Which is exactly what it has become.

In the end the reason for this prince

He doesn't need any more money so why not just write great material for the artistic worth of it and fuck what it does on the charts or if it flips the skirts of sugar obsessed orgers.

Prince, here's your challenge: Write an album and ask yourself, would God approve of the quality? You disrespect God with bad music. I miss those 5 star reviews.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!
