What r u'r thoughts about him going underground/indie label/internet only as compared 2 a major label 4 his next release?

I really don't c sony ever signing up 2 do business with him again after the UK fiasco.

IMO I would prefer him going back underground via the internet. And have a whole album in one genre giving those that like a specific aspect of his music their choice as opposed 2 a mix bag of songs of each style.

He would make off like a phat rat regardless cause there would b people that would get each release anyway.

thoughts...?

i like it when prince releases a major album, but ive got a feeling the next one will be a indipendent release. maybe a covers album or a live album?

I think the next album is going to be a low-key project. Either a live album documenting the upcoming London shows, or Roadhouse Garden. And it'll be semi-independent or a mail-order only release, a la Crystal Ball. Though it'll probably get a minor distributor, same as CB, TRC and NEWS.

And then once he goes underground, folks will want him back in the lime light.

Here's the deal. Prince is in the Lime Light now and the chances of him going back underground with internet only music and hit and run tours in small clubs days are over. Prince will most likely always use a label to distribute his new CD's. He doesn't need to do this, but he will.

I might be wrong on this, but Prince is in command and demand, and he's loving the money and the attention he's now getting.

He's making too much money being mainstream. Of course, he will do another mainstream project. It may not be through a "record company", but I could see him doing something similar to the newspaper thing again.

It would be cool if he hooked up with a magazine that has millions of readers and distribute the cd that way.

He needs to find an "independent" or "major" producer first, and worry about distribution second.

who would u suggest? and is a producer the way 2 go? it would b prince following the trend of having a "hot" producer who's beats will sound the same as everything else out there.

I'm still waiting for a sequel to The Truth maybe or even an MTV unplugged set! That will truly be a hit.

first off, learn to TYPE...
and SPELL, and.....

ahh fuck it,
PRINCEFAGGGGG


and when he WAS "going back underground via the internet"
NO ONE gave a fuck about him, and he was the laughing stock of the industry....

so go back, whiff on those "Pink Cashmere" pheromone bottles you've stashed away,
and use your fucking head before starting threads... !!
