I like the song but Im asking myself Why Now?

As usual releases it too late for any impact... Should've released it 3 months ago... Still the same releasing singles, vids and all the stuff but nothing to promote.

This would've been a PERFECT time to release a video for HARDROCKLOVER to promote a supposed upcoming album in the summer...

The BALTIMORE event, song and vid is old news now... Shoudl've been 3 months ago.

None the less I commend him for a song, video like this... At least he is taking a stand.

It's BRILLIANT of to release this time changing video to the written,produced, arranged, in ONE NIGHT, ONE-MAN-BAND hit protest "Masterpiece" bAlTImOrE".....

Also I want to add, this is a very moving and inspiring video. Thank you PRINCE.

It's the message... The sound is just the noise ur hearing... Absorb the essence of the noise now... THE MESSAGE.

Thanks to Prince for sharing the love to heal a broken-hearted city.

We need this video here in Baltimore and across our Land to remind folks that every life is of value.

Thanks also for the message during the Rally 4 Peace which provides the youth with encouragement that they too can be business owners and that is how one gets a PIECE/peace of the dream.

Well the lyric video looks professional this time with real dynamic text.

RE: The timing of the release. If he'd released the single and a video a week after the event it would look like a cash in. Staggering the release like this allows the song to be out there, now there is a video...

The video is nicely put together. Pretty much what you would expect and I hope it gets some rotation. The issue hasn't gone away just because the headlines have.

this song/video should get a grammy nom.

Wonderful video! Very eye opening and professional. Glad we're gettin' some new jelly! Glad the WORLD is gettin' more awareness and, yes, some new Prince jelly as well.

I agree 100%

Beautifully done Prince. I'm very grateful for your input.

Super sucky song. Derails before the 2 min. mark. Nice vid, though.

Powerful message.

I love the song and the video's pretty damned good for a Prince video. Even though its late, I'm glad he did it.

If I believed in the cause I would like the video, it's well produced.

The mayor in the video is disturbing.

Where's due process and innocent until proven guilty for the officers?

The other criminal in the van with freddy gray gave a video deposition saying that how dare the police put him in the same van as the crazy man bashing himself repeatedly against the interior wall of the van.

I'm looking forward to the reaction of that video when released during the trial.

Look, another ostrich, head firmly in sand.

Take it to Politics and Religion forum.

For those questioning the timing, have you not seen the Sandra Bland arrest video and story in the last day or so?
