What if Prince did a song with Ne-Yo/Kanye West or Jay-Z

With veteran recording artists like Michael jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan recording songs with contemporary artists on the radio, what if Prince did a joint with Keyshia Cole or Ciara. It would definetly be a hit, get him some much needed recognition on the radio and tv and maybe tap into the 15-24 year old demographic. Or just re-invent him self get some tattos, grow some facial hair and become straight thugged out.

I won't lie, the only person I wouldn't have a problem seeing Prince collaborate with is Ne-Yo. I think something interesting would come with that, I really do.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Jay-Z and Kanye could add something, but it would be way more interesting to me if he collaborated with some actual musicians. Maybe some rock or jazz legends.

I'd personally curse Prince out and sell EVERYTHING I have that is Prince related. Guitars and all.....

Going a different path and taking a risk often results in heavy rewards. If he collaborates and makes a bad song, then so what? He's got plenty of bad songs, one more won't hurt lol . If he tries and makes a good song, then the fans and Prince himself is rewarded.

The only way the man can re-invent himself to appeal to the younger generation is to make music for the younger generation-starting with newborns through school aged children -you know, things to stimulate the mind -things that they can play at school to get the motor running. If a child hears lyrics/rhythem/anything dealing with music at a young age, they'll remember it for the rest of their lives. Have you ever heard a song and happend to know the words or melodies and you think to yourself, how do I know this song?
He should only do concerts with his new stuff(stuff that was never released) (people would still buy tickets if he made a cd using spoons) and leave the old stuff to bands that he personally hand picks members and let them tour around the world with dancers to interpret/ act out his old stuff. He can have a few of these bands running around /with a combination of a few members switching from time to time. This would get his music heard more, make more money with out less work, etc...


Hey, Prince, If you use my ideas, I have plenty more... cool
Um... let me warm up my vocals
Me ME ME ME ME...U U U U U!
