How do you rate P's business acumen and endeavours?

I have to say, I am incredibly impressed with how he's played a significant part in branding himself in recent years.

I wouldn't necessarily say 'reformed'.
He's still a pimp.

respek 2 Prince as an entrepreneur. big record companies helped him in his genesis, but he rebelled and went independent to do his own thAng and has been very successful. he was also a trailblazer in terms of online release, and inspired many other artist to go independent or stand up and fight for their rights

He's made himself a very RICH man, so he must have done something right all these years smile

And just for the record, you can't pimp out anything that doesn't wanna be pimped, he never put a gun to any of they're heads! confused

He loves money, that's obvious. Beats me why he doesn't want to make more by being more generous in releasing more DVD's of tours or vault stuff.

I think he lives in the now but dislikes his past somewhat. so nothing will ever happen that way. probably. sad

I know Prince is smart...and I am sure that is what helped him finacially. Prince didn't let the talent distract him, from learning how to invest in his music, make changes with the music industry, and overall not be taken advantage of.

Prince isn't hurting for money but he could be making a whole LOT more money if he made better, more fan-friendly choices.
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

Trust me, Prince knows he could be making more money but he's in a position that he can say NO to fans and anybody else he wants to.

i feel like no matter what he does, people are going to complain. it's never enough he has to do what he has to do for him first.

D for Disaster.

From 1-800 New Funk & NPG Magazine to the present day, there have been so many failures & issues of customer dissatisfaction.
