It would be a great opportunity for him, he was recently on New Girl which is also a Fox show . . maybe he has the connections to make it happen - I would expect an appearance similar to the Snoop Dogg appearance where he's just on display doing music . . probably not a good look to be on the show making himself look like a music business savant . . instead, him in his typical mysterious allure as he performs or presents some song that displays his genius . . perhaps with Cookie crushing over him at some point

I don't see the show as much beyond New Girl . .

the show has a lot of corny points. As 50 Cent notes . . it's a knockoff of Power - centered on music with Glee-like undertones

Oh please, Prince talks a lot of BS on that subject. Also, if he was so knowledgeable he wouldn't have signed that 1992 contract.

Oh please, willie is talking about a current TV show and you bring up something that happened 23 years ago!

First time seeing this, thank you for posting it

a $100 million deal! It'd be hard for any artist to say no to that. That's a $10 million advance per project . . albeit a 10 album deal though . . plus 20% isn't bad (the link says some sources put it at 25%) - that's a pretty good deal. It also notes that he was earning 3x less in royalties prior (not a good deal)

Certainly it seems like the label did enough to try to motivate him

I wonder what LiveNation would give him for a full-fledged tour these days -

I guess he could go on Nashville as that is also about the same subject.
