I agree to a certain point. But look at Crystal Ball... That had some incedible material on it! Hide the Bone, The Ride, She Gave her Angels, etc etc and It was vaulted music. Yea im positive some of it is crap, but i am also positive some of it is amazing!
Tell me one other artist in the past 100 years (or ever) that has died and was still releasing full albums of new music, year after year after year. This very well could be the plan.
The rumor is there's around 3,000 songs in the vault. But even if its less..say 1,500. The average album is 10 songs. Prince could die right now and have a new album released every year until the year 2159!
If you look at it that way... the man is going to accomplish something NOONE has or ever will!

It's his work so he can do what he wants with it

I once read an article in Goldmine magazone in regards to Zappa (sorry I do not remember the first name) and this performer had passed away and now there is this major restoration going on on his unreleased tracks.It was an interesting article and being a long listener of Prince, I naturally applied it to his recordings in the Vault. I did not know this Zappa guy had so many tracks and there was never a number supplied.This is in no disrespect.
I do not believe when P's times comes, we will see the doors wide open and the vault unloaded. I can only imagine what stipulations will go with the Vault to the individual who assumes Paisley Park.
I have always been curious as to what will transpire but I have some of the unreleased tracks and I know what I have is no where close, but some tracks are on point and others, I would not have been impressed with.
Bottom line, it is his work and his right to release or not release. Time will tell and hopefully, he will let go some tracks for us to enjoy.

well whatever he does with them lol and all the footage he has along with that music.....OPEN the vault and let us see some of it. I know I have seen some amazing things taped over the years. I just hope I am yet alive to see it someday again

Excuse me...maybe I'm reading things wrong...

But I'm a bit shocked that some can't wait to see "the vault" (aka Prince dead )

I have seen the vault lol so have many others around here....it was open during a celebration to view it ~~~~ maybe some r 2 new 2 know these things ~~~~~ and speaking about the vault IMHO has nothing to do with lil man passing we just want music and make it funky

It is true, but I'm sorry it does seem like you just said that to be a douchebag and put down Prince on a Prince fan site. If you don't like Prince, then go away.

That's okay, bitch.

ernestsewell said:

How am I blind? I'm sorry calling you a douchebag was immature to say, but I will put it this way.
"An ardent devotee; an enthusiast" According to thefreedictionary.com that is the definition of a fan. Now how is calling Prince a brat on a Prince fan site being enthusiastic about him? Do you see what I'm saying?

it's the chemtrails

Amerigo said:

No, I don't know what you're saying because you've got your head so far up Prince's chocolate box that you can't see him as a human being. I'm not on Prince.org to ass kiss ANYONE, even Prince. I'm calling it like it T-I-is.

The question is "Why does Prince keep it all to himself?" in reference to the music in the vault. It's his music and he'll do what he wants with it. He IS a brat. Calling him a brat doesn't make me NOT a Prince fan. It makes me a realist. And that, good citizen, is the reality of the situation. Prince is a brat.

I was with you til the last sentence ...

ernestsewell said:

No. You're calling it like you THINK it is. Don't try to pass your subjective opinion as an objective truth. Makes you look way too much up your own ass...

@ the original poster:
And of course Prince can do whatever he wants with his music as any artist can.
If you were an artist yourself you would understand that not everything is for public consuming.

Of course I see him as a human being, but still it's not constructive criticism to call Prince a brat. It would be better to say that you wish he would open up his vault or something along those lines instead of just flat-out insulting Prince on a Prince FAN community site.

Prince is a brat.

Jekylline said:

Just like fans are free to wish for more vaulted stuff to be released. If Prince wants to ignore his fans' wishes then fine but I think it would excite his fans.

I'm the someone that told him that. I wish he would have kept it to himself. .
I told him that in confidence.But it figures in his age range(Teenager). "DANCE4ME3121" can't keep anything to himself.

I met a dancer that dance with Prince during the symbol years. She told me why exactly Prince records and films so much. But never releases it. 4 the full story org note me.

The time for that material passes and it doesn't fit with the new album.
(Imagine Possessed sandwiched in between Raspberry Beret and America instead of Tamborine). Collaborations have to have the approval of both artists labels for the release to happen. He did work with Lenny Kravitz that will probably never see the light of day for that reason.

I'm with u on this

Absolutely, but I place Prince in the same category as: Van Gogh, Picasso and even more...Dali!!! And they didn't give f.ck about what other people thought of them...would be nice if they did though
