Printable"...That is why Prince excites me. He gives me something new every year..."
That's what I like about him too. Even if his new work is considered by most as not as exciting as his past one, at least he is challenging himself, stepping outside of his comfort zone and striving to produce new stuff. Many will argue that it pales compared to his PR, SOTT, etc. years, but I think he deserves credit for at least trying to explore new territories. And in my eyes, he is still an innovator...

I have an art benefit to go to Sunday, I was asked to bring some work, and they had the nerve to ask for some previous work that they liked. I sent them some of the newest stuff I had. ONce AGain, my next work is my BEst WOrk. I don't push myself so that I can live in yesterday. Today is what is exciting. That is why Prince excites me. He gives me something new every year. That is so off the chain. people can critcize him all that want.... but until they can do it and pull it off at the level he does, they are just spewing out their asses. | |

Yes, I also heard that he came close 2 doing it, but as far as I know, it still hasn't been done. I'm pretty sure U can all kiss the vault goodbye. ~G Damn I wish you were wrong on this one, but I think you're dead right. R.I.P the Vault; what a damn waste...  | |

It's all about that mean green folks. Prince is waiting for the day his masters start to revert back to him, and he has ownership. I will not be surpised if he hasn't already remastered them, and is just waiting for the day his masters came back to him.Prince is like a greedy corp who wants all of the profit. why in God's name do u wanna make me cry | |

George Lucas once stated how he was once an independant film maker who wanted to free himself from the jail that was large hollywood studios. Star Wars success made that possible for him. In the process, he became a studio, and a very successful one at that. He then stated how he became that which he tried to escape.
There are certain business rules that businesses can not escape. Prince is finding this out, and is becoming what he hated because his survival depends on it. He is not evil.... it is simply a force of the nature of business. We are all so full of  here | |

After all this time, they needed 2 be preserved, via baking the tapes 2 prevent their deterioration. Usually, the tapes R baked, and then transferred digitally. Also, Prince will likely make damn sure that no-one has control of the vault after he leaves this life. From what I heard, WB did manage to talk Prince into allowing a complete digital archiving of the vault's contents.

I don't get it. He is sabotaging his legacy. I swear, at some point, after Prince passes away, I feel like people aren't even going to remember what his music sounded like. He'll turn into an urban legend/fairy tale type of thing that we tell our grandchildren: "Once, there was this amazing musician, who produced, wrote and played all the songs on his first album, then he slew the evil record companies, and turned his sights on his most loyal of fans...  ...but when he died, they said he didn't even save any of the music he wrote, and no one even has any pictures of what he looked like." 
When he dies, it's gonna be like Howard Hughes weird in Paisley Park. | |

Why do u think he has not released any of his work as remasters? WB ain't latting Prince get in the studio close to those masters.. He might add an extra lyric or scream to the songs, and then they become his..  
The Masters/songs are just that valuable to them over decades, centuries even. It is just that simple... A song called "1999"? Value "Let's go Crazy" being played in several stadiums, domes, and areas every year? $$$$$ | |

2 questions. 1. How will his masters revert back to him? Like they give them back to him, or he's buying them back or what? 2. WB owns everything (or anything) in the vault? How can that be? Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

When Prince signed his contract. I believe that it's 30 or 35 yrs after each release his masters reverts back to him, so sooner or later he will own them why in God's name do u wanna make me cry | |
