no 3121 is NOT his house number it is 1235 (I think) he just put 3121 on it to match the album...

PurpleRein	I'm going with the it doesn't mean anything crowd. It was probably an after shot editing because of poor lighting or something

I really don't think that the prominence of the symbol means that he's planning 2 revert 2 it. I think it could mean 2 things, potentially...

1) It's a clever media move, 2 counter the criticism of that period when he was.

2) He may be preparing a release of symbol era material that wasn't previously released. Also, he may own the masters 2 all of the symbol era stuff, which would mean that he could do what he wanted with them. It is very rare 4 Prince 2 focus on anything from his past, musically, so I'm not quite sure about this one.

In terms of the use of "3121", and it's meaning, the other connections mentioned... i.e. release date of album, length of "Black Sweat", etc. These were all undoubtedly intentional, but his usage of "3121" has a greater meaning.

This is fun.

Here's my ridiculous far-fetched contribution:

3121 is referring to the date of his marriage to Mani 31/12/2001 (?)...his wedding hand is held up and it's in darkness...ie. it's ova!

Ok, so I'm clutching at straws...

Actually I quite like the idea that it's from Deuteronomy 31:21 as some people have already pointed out: "And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness, for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware"

The two may even be linked...

Of course it could all mean NADA but hey, it's more fun like this...

Novabreaker	If you flip it upside down it sort of reads LZIE - which is a sort of an abbreviation for "lezzie". I think Prince is starting to realize again how much he's into lesbians.

I have it on good authority that the orginal cover was Prince eatting a purple bannan with his feet...

sheeplikeone	the 31st book of the bible is OBADIAH. (31) There is only one chapter in Obadiah, the last verse in this chapter is (21) It is a powerful and meaningful scripture. This could be what 3121 means....or maybe not...but I'm gonna with it for now!!

And that means...? I dunno, but doesnt he like the number 7 anyway? and isnt it quite an important number that pops up everywhere? Also, 3+1+2+1=7

That's true... It is a number that often occurs. I know I've read somewhere what the nr stands for/symbolizes, but I've forgotten... Maybe sombody else here knows? Guys?

I have a feeling that Prince is about to return to The Artist...I just have that feeling from everything that has been said and insinuated through his videos etc. Here's my evidence:

1. Prince's back on over with no 'Prince' on it only '3121'-Prince seems to be going away, as his back is turned.

2. 3121 booklet illustrates the new party place and it is completely decorated in the symbol of The Artist...what does this tell us?

3. The music is very similar to that which he tried in The Artist days, the rapping, the protege, the dancers, the heavy guitar and experimental synth sounds, its all The Artist

4. Black Sweat Video-Tamar keeps swinging her symbol pendant on her neck as the camera focuses on this.

Perhaps this is the beginning of a new era for The Artist??
