What if Prince met same sudden end as others recently? Who may be the beneficiaries of Prince's Estate? With no wife, no Kids usually goes to deceased's family. Will Tyka have control over the vault? Or did Prince do the unthinkable and Will it to Larry, knowing he would also keep it locked down. HMMMM.

Other ideas?

I think Tyka has a few children? Maybe they are in Prince's will?

Good grief.

I don't get the lock-happiness, what is wrong with speculation? like death doesn't happen?

What's wrong with speculation? Have you ever heard the phrase, "It's none of your business"?

You can't have another guess now.
Why label that option unthinkable? Who is Prince's only hope?

Speculation brought the USA where they are now.
So it is their and, especially NOW, also OUR business as they ruined a nice part of the globe.

WTF?

What does that have to do with Prince?

Clarity...the main thrust of my curiosity is wondering if all that stuff in the reported archives will ever see the light of day. I think most would agree that we don't expect to see/hear the Lion's share of it while Prince holds the keys. Who gets his $ really does not matter to me. Its will the ownership of material go to someone who would release it, or will it truly NEVER be available to the fanbase?

....and if everything that was "none of our Business" got locked down, there wouldn't be too much activity at all frankly. Most of what is discussed here is really none of the fans business, all we would be doing is reviewing songs, and talking about concerts.

Unthinkable to me because the fan-base would never have the opportunity to see / hear it. I mean if it he NEVER wants it released, why even keep it archived now? wouldn't you just pitch it, or destroy it?

Genesia said:

Hatery? Reality!
And very Prince-related due to someone mentioning 'speculation' in here.
If you don't agree with the business part that is your right, but still it makes you wonder about ethics.
Now let's assume the worst for Prince's business after his demise.
Larry owns all.
He puts the income from royalties etc in charity.
He nays all remasters/reissues of albums deemed 'bad'.
He sells off Paisley Park and lives happily ever after.

I had to go look up Littany because i didnt know the defintion,i couldnt find it.
Do you mean "Litany" with one T?
According to an online dictionary:
1: a prayer consisting of a series of invocations and supplications by the leader with alternate responses by the congregation
2 a: a resonant or repetitive chant b: a usually lengthy recitation or enumeration c: a sizable series or set

Im none the wiser about this thread.

don't worry you won't be called to the will reading and you may not go camp on Paisley Grounds


I swear people can be morbid and nosy ...please worry about your own living wills
and affairs.Sure the current situation causes one to think but dwelling in thoughts sends out energy to the universe.Energy projected can lead to terrible events so be mindful of what you project.


just an observation.

It'll happen one day, I really don't see why people get so upset about speculating on what'll happen after. Personally, I think lotusflow3r.com would get more updates.

I agree about the speculating. I don't see anybody posting anything hateful here just thoughts thats all.

Haven't some of you asked your own friends and family what they want done when they die? God knows there are people on here who care a whole lot more about Prince then at least some of their family.

I myself was just thinking today "what does P want done with Paisley Park when he is gone?" I can't see him wanting the rooms roped off and tour bus after tour bus full of people walking through gauking at all his stuff. I can hear it now "Wow, look at all the beautiful purple drapery,rugs, whatever. Wow, is that the purple elevator?"

It is a curiousity of mine and others how he wants this multidemensional empire he has created dealt with when he can no longer run it himself.

Well I know who it won't be ME.

I just plain flat don't believe in this mystical hullabaloo.
I believe and put faith in the one true soveriegn God. The closest His teachings come to this line of thinking is the principal of sowing and reaping. I know my intentions here, they are not morbid, they are rooted in reality. That reality is that we live in a fallen world and humankind took death upon itself. No man rises above it regardless of the 72 names of God or whatever that mumbojumbo was about.

I swear sometimes to speak ill or bring up that anything undesirable be spoken of Prince is considered heresy on this site. Prince is not immortal, nor deity. He is finite, but his music has a future beyond his life, and THAT is what this curiousity concerns itself with. BY NO MEANS am I wishing / thinking Prince ill thoughts. As a lover of his music I desire to see / hear constant new creations, I'm simply SPECULATING about the ramifications of the INEVITABLE. ...Let's all agree upon reality (Prince would call this TRUTH), then we can discuss it freely and openly with little regard for potentially offending someone who does not take the due diligence to ask for clarity if they are unclear. As someone's misinterpretations of my intent lies upon theor shoulders not mine. Assume nothing, ask questions.

I'm not throwing up some little reading icon because that's not how I roll. I'd rather this stay in the realm of thoughts, not feelings and emotional reactions.

Why you all such dixkriders?

EML3 you should stop thinking!

Im starting to feel ya there, Its a danged shame a simple curiuosity can't remain a civil discourse.

You're not the only one that's brought it up a trillion times

Hmm I will hve to look around the site a bit deeper i suppose, thanks for the info.

The emoticons are a Prince.org perk ! too bad you wasted your time typing this little presentation for me.You can continue to ponder,analyze,the fate and or possessions of another who could care less about me or you anyone else for that matter.Just because you paraphrased a question/thread brought up for the past week makes it none the more relevant.My response is over the redundant nature of these questions no matter who it is.

whats the line...."if he ever takes the best...thats wat ill try to be ....and ill let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea"

Kids?For what? so the media and the fans can pick the child to pieces like they do his daddy? like the press is doing Michael Jackson's kids? Prince ain't crazy!
