I'm sure that "No More Candy 4 U" is directed 2 the ORG. "The haters on the Internet" is most certainly directed 2 this site.

'Lotusflow3r' stands up 2 any album Prince has ever recorded.

Bowie's been oddly silent for five years now

Musicology was the last great full album he's released.

Planet Earth was his worst album ever. I have not listened to Planet Earth since I bought it.

Lotusflow3r and MPLSound would have better as one album if he would have trimmed the fat.

Retire and open up the vault.

TOM TUCKER (studio director): We tried to talk him into archiving everything when he was still with Warners. We were going to buy a convection oven and bake all the analog tapes, and archive them to digital. But at the last minute he pulled the plug. He said he didn't want anybody to hear all that music. Those old analog tapes are just gumming up down in his vault. And then what's going to happen if it's not in his will? What if it's in his will to destroy that stuff? That would be like half the Beatles' tunes being lost.

Grave illness. Hence the lack of public appearances.

A Few weeks before the Lotus cd came out,I heard a rumor that Prince was gonna retire from the studio,i thought that he was gonna continue touring cuz thats when he makes the most money.Then I hear about a new album,then i hear 4 songs that i keep on repeat until the new album finally comes out. Then i rush to the store and I could not believe wat ive hear. I have listened to Lotus and Mplsound about 60 times so far. Songs like Chocolate Box,Dance4me,and Colonized make it evident that at 50 he does not need to be retiring soon. I wonder whatelse he has in him. So wats your opinion? should he keep going or just quit and maybe release vault stuff?

As much as Prince is heavily criticized on everything he does and chooses, here on the ORG, this place would implode if that happened.

I'm imagining the ones that criticized the most, would be impacted the hardest, and the ones who appreciate Prince's musical and stylistic decisions would almost expect it.

If ANYTHING has been the cause of Prince changing his mind about the internet, calling it "a black hole", it is the ORG...

I'm sure that "No More Candy 4 U" is directed 2 the ORG. "The haters on the Internet" is most certainly directed 2 this site.

That being said, I think Prince's constant need 4 new music, and 2 create, will keep him recording 4 the rest of his blessed time here on Earth.

When that time passes, "the haters on the internet" will be hurting the most with regret.

Sorry... I'm usually much more positive.

PEACE.

Why retire? The man still produces top rated music. I keep hearing that he is 51 as if that is OLD. The man still looks better than most in their 20's and 30's and his output is far superior. Just because there isn't the radio play, we all know who controls "RADIO".

My advice to Prince is release Commercial stuff to deals like Target and use his website and release experimental stuff which all the "TRUE ADMIRERS" of his music through the website, Lotusflow3r.com. Just my opinion.


Peace, Love, & Daffodils

I'm just glad he likes to make each new album different because I'd hate to have more shit like this one.

I respectfully disagree.


Just to be clear, I disagree with the idea that Lotusflow3r stands up 2 any Prince album ever recorded. No of course he shouldn't retire!

I agree that his new stuff just is not as good as his old material. I confirm this just by realizing that I don't listen to the new stuff after a couple of months after its been released.

I want to love it, but so much of it seems rehashed, over produced, over thought and ill conceived.

Musicology was the last great full album he's released.

Planet Earth was his worst album ever. I have not listened to Planet Earth since I bought it.

Lotusflow3r and MPLSound would have better as one album if he would have trimmed the fat.

Release a new album when you can make a whole album worth listening to, and vault stuff in between.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these Prince fans that want him to sound like "the old Prince". I don't want Prince copying himself, I just want a full album of great material.
