He starts out talking about how Prince honed his musical craft, and then just randomly goes off in another direction about the decline in real musicians amongst the youth and the problems with cutbacks. This title was so misleading. He didn't even try to flesh out the original theme. Instead, he just name drops Prince at the end as if he's actually relevant to the article by that point. [Edited 5/31/05 2:01am] Actually, you need to blame the person who posted the article on The Org. If you actually click on the link to the website provided, there is a different title which is: "Commentary: Want More Meaningful Music? Support Real Musicianship" When a source is provided, check it. yeah I kind of figured that early on that whomever posted this thread mislead everyone into thinking it was about Prince,not intentionally of course.

Music is not Business and Business is not Music but when you bring the two together you have marketing, record companies , contacts, etc... Prince knows both so the conclusion is he would be around with a record deal because he would have given himself a contract. (Paraphrase)STYLE is not sitting with the owner of the team, STYLE is owning the team and charging them all fee! | |

You would think since that is the lead-off question to the story that at some point the writer would answer that question. He never does. It could have been a great article except he is writing 2 articles at once. The first one is could Prince get a contract if he were starting out today? This story he abandons after the second paragraph and starts a new story on where are the musicians of tomorrow coming from. Then at the end of the story he brings up Prince again like that somehow ties it all together. This writer needs an editor. But thats the problem with blogs is now everyone considers themselves a writer & a critic. [Edited 5/27/05 15:06pm] Yep... |

Independent artist have done quite well for themselves, the way I see it Prince would probably get a Master P type deal, get rich off his first couple of albums, do a remix with Jay-Z and Kanye about how much money he's got and how his Bentley's got 24 inch rims with spinners, and finally, shoot to r&b stardom with his DR DRE lace ode to the chronic "Purple Haze".
[Edited 5/27/05 22:45pm] What the hell you are talkin about ??? Prince has had the BEST deal ever for a young unknow artist.... Any young artist today would dream of signing a deal like Prince did... Do you know how the Motown treated his own artists ?? Do you know ??? Prince before Warner had done nothing, and was nothing, he was only a talented teenager... And Warner gave him an extraordinary contract... Now if a young talented artist would sign with a major company, he would NEVER had the freedom that Prince has had... Anyway... |
