prince need to "un"release another album

Black Album style.

That will get his mystique going again....

would there be clamour? Or is that bootleg glamour?

No such thing as bootleg glamour anymore. The internet killed the mystique.
There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

Prince should make a mixtape like everybody else is doing. And tag the songs with the voice of NPG Operator.

I think he should do the opposite and release a lot of new music. Instead of just trying to gain a mysterious person. He should release more music so people can see how talented he is.

if the sound quality was shitty, the hype would be there. and the search for a better version would drive us... to imagine.

A repeat of the black album will only cuase people to shrug or to scratch their heads. Let's face it, with all the respect and admiration he's been getting lately, high profile fans are 50% fanatical and 50% semi-apolagetic about his prince days. Prince can't afford to do anymore stupid things---the general public is already being gracious with his religous adoption (since Madonna more-or-less paved the way for that), and nobody expects Micheal Jackson to make a comeback.

However, that being said, I really wish he could "un-release" The Rainbow Children, but do it so thoroughly that even bootleg, and customer owned legit copies, dissapear forever.

ha ha, you must not like the Rainbow children.... but I'm just talking about my own possible reaction.... if I heard that prince had an entire "conceptually solid" album that people were trading, with horrible sound quality.... i'd pay good money for it (or tons of e-networking) and be listening to that shit for months... his coolness goes up when bootleg shit comes out with the hardcore fans and collectors.

what's an example of an artist released mixtape? I think of mixtapes as something you make for who you're dating.... a girl just gave me a breakup mix cd she made (I guess its mix cd these days)

or, are you talking of dj mixes? Or remixes?

I was talkin about the kind of mixtapes that rappers put out on the streets/underground circuit with exclusive/new/unreleased/remixed material. They're basically bootlegs, but their approved by the artists themselves. These kind of mixtapes are good for promotion, building hype, gettin street cred, etc. Alot of artists are gettin into the mixtape cause of these - thats how 50 Cent came up before signing with Shady/Aftermath. His hype started a bidding war between record labels and even got him props from popular artists. And some mixtapes acutally have a mystique concept like The Black Album did.

And when I said "tagged" earlier, what I meant was most mixtapes are hosted by a DJ or an artist, and they usually "tag" each song in their own way, sort of like how radio stations tag the songs they play, like "you're listening to a 97.9 Tha Beat exclusive!"

I've always wondered why Prince never pulled this stunt again...you know,come up with a controversial album,hype it up and get his fans and critics excited,then suddenly cancel it's release.As others have pointed out,he probably couldn't do this in the Internet era.

Alot artists put them out there for free, but some people sell them for their own profit. You can buy them at swap meets, you can go to the "spot" in your city wait for that guy, who be selling shit, to come around (i.e. the hustler from the movie Barbershop), or you buy them off the internet (like www.mixunit.com); nowadays, alot record stores sell mixtapes. But their more than likely to get leaked on internet so that you can download them (like from MIRC). Some artists just put mixtapes up on the website to download.
