True, but you so clearly need to be educated about this, as you seem to have such a hard time with simple English. Unless you actually just want to sound ignorant. If so, carry on. if you could just pass your history class, baby, life would be all right. |

Guys it was a joke, fuggedaboudit!
Any way, yes Prince could have approached this whole issue a lot differently and got different results, but he didn't. Maybe the contract he signed made things a little more high stakes though - and maybe this is one of those instances where having good management and people around who you trust could've made a diffrence? Prince wanted that contract for the headlines in industry news rags I guess, the figure looked bigger than the competition, but when you look at the requirements of, it was very unrealistic that Prince would ever fulfill them. | |

Yeah, I am serious. How was Prince exploited at the time he signed the largest recording contract in history? | |

u mean when prince sign that joke of a contract when he was not the big superstar he used to be and therefore he becomes warners slave making albums that they don't care to promote but at the same time they were still making money off of purple rain and paying prince 35 cents a record. | |

That's what he gets for being mean to Dick Clark, right? "Climb in my fur." | |

Yes, that is what I mean. Exploitation is by definition, taking advantage of someone who does not have the ability to know better. He signed the contract. He thought he would hit the marks. Warners signed the contract, they wanted him to hit the marks, more money for everybody. It did not work out that way. Revisionist history can be a useful thing for people who did not live through the period, but those of us who were there know better. Prince was promoted better than anyone else during that time in history. He chose to give limited interviews, seldom appear on television, not tour second line cities, have 20 people in his band etc. And with all that, he STILL emerged from that era as the most successful artist in terms of a career, awards, and yes, money. Boy is worth a quarter of a billion dollars. You want to talk about exploited? Go to the James Brown, George Clinton, Gap Band forums and cry poor mouth. Then you have an argument. | |
