Who would pay $77 for another Prince member site from the beginning, content unseen? The hardcore fan

What content has Prince been putting up since day one? Old stuff that has been in circulation for awhile.

Who has had possession of this stuff for a looong time? The hardcore fan.

But did the hardcore fan pay Prince for this old unreleased stuff? Well, they did now.

Prince is making the hardcore fans finally pay for their bootlegs.

So I wouldn't expect much in the way of new stuff anytime soon (besides the initial draw of the new CD's. You wouldn't join if you knew this was a bootleg payment program would you?)

At least that's how it's looking so far.

LOL! Nice try but I really must disagree! Lotusflow3r.com was made strictly and exclusively for the TRU fams! One of the advertisements even said so!

Now it's clear to see how much Prince cares about his TRU fams!

I'm just glad I crossed over to Hater side...at least we DO get name checked in his songs and he didn't charge US for it!

I enjoyed a little out of the new set of cd's.. but i'd like him to release his older unreleased material..


and calm down on writing new material.. if this is how it's gonna be

I Do NOT Enjoy Lotusflow3r... I KNOW I visted the website MORE BEFORE it official launched....in later times. I'm not even sure I know my login info anymore..... which is sad in the days of npgmc and OTHER sub-paid websites I logged in constantly... Im' not happy..and I'm tired of everyone on here constantly kissing on P's ass, Lotusflow3r.com is a complete utter BULLSHIT site.. So what the deal, did P get old, did he get bored...did he watever.....
I only wish P knew that with this new website the SKY is the LIMIT!!!!! has he took ANY advantage to that?????
PLUS..May is almost over..... no BIG updates.... no Tshirt.....blah fricken blah...
and I HATE it cuz I've been a P fan FOREVER>....but it's so tempting to get that TSHIRT..wipe my ass with it and send it back to Paisley Park.

Awesome point. Since none of us mailed him the boots, like he requested a few years ago, dupe the hardcore fans into paying him for them.

I love it!

Jazz is Prince.

^ I love that quote, kinda sums the whole site up!

Just glad I never joined!!

Jazz said:

i have to agree with this...i think basically his plan was to release the new material but the real underlying motivation was to get money for what he feels he deserves.why else did he clamp down on youtube etc and demand material of his be pulled off? he's saying "here's my stuff...pay for it like you bloody well should"..as for the lack of updates..thats just his way of making his point and sticking his fingers up to us.when tavis smiley asked him if he could be ruthless or whatever it was he said prince replied "oh i can go there"...i believe that and he has shown it to us too...the man is a genius and there's no denying his amazing talent but as a person he is completely out of touch with the real world just as michael jackson is.there lives have never been like ours and never will be therefore it's impossible for them to really care about our feelings.all prince has made me done with this site is to convince me and motivate me to rip his stuff off even more.

Jazz said:

Then he needs to put more on there. Apart from Coachella, hasn't most of it been officially released, or never released? Thought all the song videos had, and The Sacrifice of Victor and The Undertaker were also officially released. As far as I knew, DMSR from Detroit wasn't circulating.

What is the list of stuff on there that hasn't been officially released or aired and is circulating? There's not much in the way of previously bootlegged stuff on there at all.

i made the same point in this thread

http://prince.org/msg/13/309009

it appears like that, but then again it could be the beginning of a great website

u would think there would be a little more activity though

But didn't he make us already pay on NPGMC? I don't have THAT many boots.

Some videos just need to come off. You can watch Diamonds and Pearls, Cream and others on VH-1. Come on Prince release it as you said in Graffiti. I'm not made at the cost. I will receive a shirt and attending concerts in L.A. But come on and make that site official a hit!

If that is true then I would have to put my hands up and say "Touche"

...or it could be...

"2 all the haters on the internet, somebody's lookin' at U... we got your number now, fool."

Number = credit card number and/or IP address.

Except the haters aren't the ones who joined the site. The folks who were like, "Don't do it, you'll be sorry..." are the ones who've been called haters.

Giovanni777 said:

So now what is he going to do? Go on a shopping spree at Target? Contract killings?

JustErin said:

Cute. Hi Erin! Like your posts in GD yesterday...

Giovanni777 said:

Oh oh....I must remember that some people actually read the shit I write.

Precisely. The intelligent hardcore Prince fan has already learned their lesson regarding Prince's shady business dealings...

You don't think I know that song? And I don't know you. Thank God for that.
