Can people like you stop making thread headers as if they are fact when all they really are are inane ideas that pop in your head? I thought there were thread post limits etc. Jesus Christ you're a grown adult.

Let the moderator decide. Nay or yay on the header??

Getting back to the original question. In your opinion it may be an insane idea but I don't think P Diddy or JLO would agree with you.

why didn't you reply to the thread with a dancing lock?

Sean Combs is a twat. A rich one, but still a twat.

1. It's not just this thread but several all the time making headers as if they were facts. Why not just add the ? to them etc? It makes it seem like you need to try to trick to get your thread read. Wack.

2. Just because (of all people ) Sean Combs and Jennifer Lopez does something...

Prince has been quite an innovator during the last few years of distributing his music. Whether its at a concert, book, retailers...etc.. The clothing line is another distribution point. When it done right such as the case of JLO and Sean Combs it can be very profitable as well. No doubt Prince has had a talented in house designers carrying out his vision in terms of clothing he wears along with his bandmates and associated artists. I think it would be absurd to limit one self that he would put out a line of clothing that you typically wear in concert but rather a style of clothing which would have a main stream appeal but with his own unique vision. Over the years Prince has had many famous designer friends whom hes worn clothing by. I think it would be an interesting synergy of those creative business and clothing talents to deliver a new cd.

Should Prince start a clothing label and include a new cd with the purchase.

Thanks for your feedback!

1. Prince needs to stick to music. Period.
1.a) Unless he actually gets a known, professional, established team behind the project.


2. You need to stop baiting threads.

This is a stupid idea for him.

Prince can't follow through with anything he does. He is still being sued (or is going to be) by the perfume company who created the 3121 cologne. He bitches about almost every distribution deal he's had. I mean, who the fuck is Prince to talk smack about Clive Fucking Davis????? He can't do anything good with any retail venture he undertakes. How many people didn't get t-shirts last year? How many people were getting the wrong ski jackets in 1997 or after when they ordered it?

Two more words: CRYSTAL BALL

Just make a record, and sell it. Period.

PS If the cartoony figures on the NPG Music Club site are any indication of Prince's style - they'd be overpriced, and shitty looking garments.

He had a clothing line in the works through JCPenney in the early 90s -- a "lite" version of the Gangsta Glam look. It never happened though.

remember Merry Go Round stores in the 80's and their Beautiful Ones suits?

How about an online new fangled website that comes with more than a promise...something like a CD for those who join...

p.s he looks good but most men can't carry off the polka dots look

Should Prince start a clothing label and include a new cd with the purchase. Defintely he has an eye for clothes for women and men. I say he not go on it on his own but partner up with the likes of Kimora Lee and distribute it through MACY stores.

I remember Merry Go Round, but not those suits in particular! Makes me recall Oak Tree, Chess King, and Max Green too.

Hmm... You mean... like you buy a 3CD set and get a boutique style t-shirt for free? Just the other way round?

I would love a CD with music on it.

Maybe it could be sold in special "record stores", so you could go there, maybe listen to a few snippets, then give the dude behind the counter like, i don't know, 10 or 12 bucks. Then, if all went well so far, he could hand you the CD, which could consist of the actual disc and maybe some kind of a plastic pack in which the disc is placed.
Hahaha, now my imagination is starting to overflow, but listen: What IF that plastic sleeve would be large enough to hold more than just the disc? What IF there would also be some kind of a "book" (well, a small "book", of course) inside? I know i'm raving, but it could contain some photos, maybe new pictures of Prince himself, and it COULD also contain the lyrics that belong.. yes, you got it.. the lyrics to THE SONGS ON THIS VERY CD! Isn't that a fab idea?

So for just 10 bucks, you could get 1) the music, 2) the lyrics to the music, to read them while listening, 3) some pictures to look at, and 4) all this nicely packed in a stable shell that could be stored in a shelf or whereever and would still look nice even in many years from now...

NOW THAT WOULD BE ACE!

I know that's crazy fantasizing, but every once a while a man's got the right to dream for a moment, or not?
