WHAT'S LEFT FOR PRINCE??

He's had a stellar recording career, made some **cough** cinematic art, toured around the globe, introduced his fans to new artists, took advantage of web technology, dated numerous fine honies, been married, been divorced, attempted and succeeded at reproduction, gone religous, worked with musical icons, worked with the muppets, been on late night TV, appeared on American Idol, released coffee table books and designed jewelry. So orgers...what's left for him to do? hmmm Let the count begin...



#1 He should write his own biography in his own words minus the ghost writer.


#2 He should open up a music school/performing arts academy for underprivileged (sp) but potentially talented youth.

If I was Prince or Mel Gibbsen I´d stop trying to be monogamus and just be madd sexxin,.every fine woman that s out there instead of fukkin with the same chik whos just tryin to steal my riches. WHY they do that shitt is beyond me .. .both worth millions butt they stillfall for average, medioker looking chicks?

If had that much loot i´d be getting all them chicks into my mansion and have a good time and not give a shitt bout what people or media say.

all those thing s they ,,Mel and P did, is all nice and good butt no matter how many women youve had it never gets boring really.

I'm pretty sure the guy can figure out what he wants to do or not do with his personal life.

He should write a book. I've said this before. A no holes barred, full on, name checkin', body shakin' truth filled book about his life. Don't tell the "I Saw God" story around 1988, but rather tell the "I became paranoid because of the drugs, and thought the devil was after me" truth that everyone around knew is a fact. Tell us about your thoughts on UTCM at the time. Tell us why certain projects were ousted and forgotten, dismissed, or not followed through on. Tell us about why Mayte fucked up, and why you fought so much with Manuella. Tell us why the houses were torn down. Tell us who the love of your life was. Tell us EVERY SINGLE THING. Clear up the rumor mill once and for all.

And I'd deal with a ghost writer. There's only one person that could truly do that. Alan Leeds.

Per Nilsen would be a second choice.

Lotus project musically is his apex.

Now I think after he tours festivals with the material he should do the Legacy Project that includes working with Warn-A-Brotha again and getting his material remastered and such. Box sets, remastered single discs, the works. Then work with WB again or someone to get the video stuff remastered and re-released.

An autobiograhpy would be great but I think he would never do it as part of his selling point is his mystique and a tell all book would shatter that. The mystery is what attracts a lot of fans, myself included. I also think he has a dignity in not telling all about other people that is rare in a lot of 'celebrities' today.

What's left - much more music I hope, maybe he could teach kids music or something, set up a foundation for it, and then eventually release the vault once he's completed all he wants to.
If he leaves the Vault till after he dies, theres a high chance someone else will profit from it and I don't think he will like that idea so he may do something with it first or bequeath it or set up a will saying 1 cd per year or something.

Giggles.....man ya'll always make my ribs hurt. For real there is still much for Prince to do. I would like Prince to really get free and find the real truth that is free of bondage and nothing but grace. I also think it would be a waste of good genes not to have a baby with a quality woman. I hate to say it but I think he needs to take a long break and find real life again so that he can write things that really mean something to him and come from his heart. He also needs time to heal from all that has happened in his life. He needs time alone with God not people telling him who God is but go away take a King James bible and ask for understanding and don't come back until you get it. Than God will tell him what is next in his life.

I don't believe he ever really took the time to do this. sad

A book would be nice, but I couldn't see it getting released until after he dies. He wouldn't want to promote it.

I would also like to see something like Purple Rain the Musical. Maybe even him writing an original musical that tells a great story.

A great LIVE cd or boxed set would make me happy. A boxed set (video and audio) of each tour in a boxed set.

P could definitely take some lessons from MJ on releasing old material. Maybe he's saving the reissues for when he officially retires or can't work anymore.

he already did mosst of the shitt you mentnioned there ...

musical ? Graffiti brigde was supoosed to be a musical first,from day one when it was about the COco boy s and ruby Wahsington

He also wrote Strays of the world for a musical ...never materialized

he wrote songs for I ll Do Anything..with nick nolte...originally that movie was planned as a musical...test audiences hated it so they changed it into a normal movie and prnces music was cut out

his live dvds and cds suck ass..always have, always will...takes some true talent to fuck up a legit release and make illegit bootleg releases of the SAME concert even sound better than the official release...shitt, i´d rather have a good audience recording of a hot show, uncensored,than an edited and cheesy live release by prince, probably recorded from korean tv and released on crappy VHS format..

dude will one day depend on fans bootleg to release a proper anthology.

yeah he should take lessons from MJ about rereleasing old shitt and do remixes with shitty dudes like AKOn

Computer blue featuring AKOn
Darling nikki featuring Black eyed peas

Purple Rain...the inevitable doug e fresh mix

Yeah, he has ATTEMPTED to do what I mentioned, but he has never done it on a full scale. When I say musical, I mean a full-out Broadway production. Sure, he wrote Stray as a musical, but are we sure if he ever completed it? In the CB booklet, it says it never materialized.

Movies like Footloose and Legally Blonde have been adapted to the Broadway stage and have done extremely well. I think PR would also do well. The only major problem would be P wanting control over everything.

I don't think P's released live material (video or audio) sucks. I just think that whoever has done the editing for what's out there fails to capture the essence and feeling of a true Prince concert experience.

I recently got the new Stevie Wonder live DVD and I must say, it felt just like being at the show. The editing did not take away from the concert experience. Prince should take note of this.

When I say he should take lessons from MJ, I don't mean remixing or reworking a song with new hot artist, but issue outtakes and demos of his recordings.

In recent years, MJ has released LOTS of outtakes. I love the Special Editons of Thriller (NOT Thriller 25) and Off the Wall. Also, the Ultimate Collection (Boxed Set). Those cds contain LOTS of great outtakes).

your making some good points therre.Still,his live relases are shitt and suck ass.

I´d gladly pay bootleggers my money instead of getting shitt releases by Prince.
Aladddin DVD was shittty, ONA LIve was a joke, that aftershow cd was ridiculous.
his 21 nites cd was embarrasingly bad while most boots were really good, tracklist and all.

I'd say keep doing what your doing... by basically semi-retired, enjoy life, but every year and a half put a new project out, promote it with a bunch of tv performances and when you feel like it play some concert dates.

i would pay $ 500,- for this if it were a 800+ page book with details on each
song he released included either in the text or in an appendix.
