Stupid Question... Why doesnt Prince just release a new CD ?
Why is he still playing the CD/every year thing like when he was signed? Whats it gonna prove if he has to come up with some marketing technique to sell CDs that wont sell on their own? | |

he had us all chanting that phrase and now that he's been emancipated where is it, the music? | |

when Prince meant "Free the Music" he meant Free from any contractual obligations and being able to put out what ya want as an artist and not being bound by any person or people who dont know anything about music control your art. | |

you might be half right, but not quite think back to 1994-1995 Gold Experience, Exodus, and his work with other artists WB slapped the cuffs on tight | |

Nothing sells on its own.
that wont sell on their own? Name one CD (brilliant or not) that many here have heard of, that has no marketing behind it. Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

C&D/The Vault: Contractual Obligation Emancipation: 3-disc set of new material, which is rare in music Crystal Ball: free "The Truth" (which I love) and "Kamasutra" Rave: a  that was "produced" by Prince
Musicology: Concert giveaway counted as sales 3121: Willy Wonka-like Purple Ticket |

If he did EXACTLY the same promotion for 3121 that he did EXCEPT for the purple ticket thing....how many copies wouldve sold? do I have to say it...? If he promoted TRC like a MFer--wouldnt matter--people wouldnt have picked up on the vibe anyway--because they idiots | |
