after Purple Rain?

Was it that he was too concerned about being pigeonholed? Who cares, ya know? I mean...you have ulitimate success with the forbearer, why not exceed his achievements?

1999 was fabulous, exceeded by PR. Why not exceed PR with some 3X 1999 shit?

That's a question which will last until our last days.

No it won't. Why?

'cause P wuz bored.

U know honestly.....I have no clue why he didn't realease a "Purple Rain II"

I had read on www.princefams.com (before they banned me)that ATWIAD was supposed to be like a Purple Rain II but it wasn't. I really don't think it would have been neccessary for a part II to the big success. 1 was enough and I know some of you guys don't agree, but this is just IMO. The album rocked all on it's own, it spoke for itself.....it didn't need anything else to make it even more of an success.

atwiad was definitely NOT purple rain II by any means. he did atwiad right after because he wasn't tryin to go along with the expectations of the fans and the music press. that, and he was goin along with his gut.

I know that, I said that .....hahaha! But you're so right. it wasn't by ANY MEANS, and I see what you are saying with him not doing what everyone else wants him to do. I would have changed the WHOLE project myself and made it totally different if I was him also.

sheeeeeit, didn't we all...but we totally got fucked on that one.

I read that P was getting tired of that Purple Rain hype anyway, and he was dying to take us on his magical mystery tour.

That was almost as shocking as The Specials second album.

Nah, for real. When I heard it, I was like Where's the Ska? What's with all this cheezy Lounge muzak?

It's still a very good album nonetheless.
