Can we actually prove that it was Prince that sat behind the computer today and tweeted this information?

This is the same defense you famz have been saying since the mid-1990s, when Prince's official website posted insults towards band members, gay people, other artists, etc.: "well it isn't Prince actuyally typing the words". Yeah, because mister control freak doesn't have a say in what gets posted in his name ON HIS OFFICIAL WEBSITE.

Lol and you post insults against Prince SNAP

Younger fans. Really I don't care who is in that slot, as long as it's an already successful act, and not one of Prince's boring protoges.

OLIVE BRANCH? For making up for not delivering Vault material for "Purple Rain Remastered" & thereby screwing up the project?

I would like to advise Prince on what he can do with that olive branch

It's connect the dot time again, except for some people it's a basic cartoon while for others it's probably something cubist.

Unlike some other folks here, I won't act as if I knew exactly what's going on, but I certainly suspect his religious beliefs stopped him from delivering material that he now considers too explicit, and that precipitated a series of events: Prince delivering an "as is" Purple Rain or worse, with Darling Nikki censored; WB rejecting the PR product, with Prince counteracting with a refusal to promote AOA; Then the AOA/PLEL sales figures further disrupted the business relationship.

Since then Prince continued making music as he has his own studio and his deal most likely let him do a number of independent things, since I don't see him resuming the Label Artist life at all. So he continued to behave as a fully independent artist and while he's been able to make deals with Tidal, that (and the HnR sales figures) further damaged any will from WB to distribute (note: Prince's very free deal with WB probably meant he had to accept they didn't have many obligations themselves).

So here we are, there are songs like Revelations, Indifference and June, which means for me that at the end of the day, Prince is very much worth following -- add to that Hardrocklover and 1000s xs and os, and it's even more obvious. There is definitely a huge talent there but he's also a grown man with money and his own studio who has been working as an independent almost as long as he was a label man. Then add the religion.

Fingers crossed we'll get to hear some of this newer stuff. Electric Intercourse in great quality? That would be great too, but short of Prince abandoning his chosen faith, I frankly have doubted we would ever get songs like that uncensored for quite some time now -- 15 years maybe?

This kind of argument is so facile. It's not even an argument. We're talking about Prince. Not Prince.org.

Read.

I completelty agree with you on everything 100%... I even made the exact same speculations on the thread the real reason we didn't get the Purple Rain remasters...

I really do believe he gave Warner's a PR remaster with NO new material, and possibly rejecting b-sides like Erotic City and censoring Darling Nikki... Which is why Prince stated in his Twitter he handed it in to WB and they have just been sitting on it... AOA world wide sales was not bad believe it or not, 300,000 world wide in this day and age is not bad at all... Plectrum was a disaster, as well as HitnRun sold horrible...

I believe he joined with TIDAL because he wants to release music at a fast pace again as always and he was bumping heads with Warners...

I really hope this won't be 1993 all over again, because at this point in his career, he really is tarnishing his visibility, I won't say legacy because his music and accomplishments speak for themselves, but in this digital age, all those idiots think you don't exist if you don't send a tweet time to time or upload a picture on insta... That's the visibility/marketability he's losing, which is why HitnRun sold under 30,000 copies...

Ahhh... here it comes: The old 'Prince is just too good of a person' to honor his contract. Prince's lame singles, that NOBODY IN THE BUSINESS can sell, are actually just sooo AWESOME! If Prince wasn't just so religious, he could do what he was paid to do! Oh go on....

Nah.... He had a very minor hit with zero promotion just recently and you can't both fault him for not promoting AND say it's just that the music can't be sold. This illustrates the problem with making an issue out of everything, best leave it to people who are not just out looking for a rise.

Uh-huh. 'Prince's lame new singles and image, that no label in the business can sell, are actually sort of hits!' Keep going....

In all seriousness, How religious is Prince if he can't even do basic trust shyt like keep his word and honor his agreements and that sort of thing?

That sample of "Big City" sounds 20x better than anything I heard on "Phase 1" so maybe this will be an old school Prince album?

94-95 was a great year for Prince music..

pernil said:

Being a Prince follower since 1983, it saddens me that he addresses his fan base in his attempts to get WB to release something they likely don't consider to be very good. I don't think he'll get much help that way.

When one of their top selling artists these days are people like Jason Derulo and more than 3/4th of their roster are people no one's ever heard of, I'm sure its not quality that's holding them back. More likely its his price.

Anyone, has anyone twittered back? 'Deliver the PR outtakes and we'll start picketing.'

who else would know this about HnRun2/olive branches, his hairdresser?

and if it's some random employee posting lies, he/she would have been fired by now

Jeez. All this annoying, whiney drama crap all the time and then what do we get in the end? Either nothing or at best mediocre albums. Get it together already.

There's also semi-"dirty" stuff on HNR, but he's childish about them -- remember the interview in which he was listening to some tracks with a reporter present and Prince had to flee the studio because he'd forgotten about the "bad" lyrics.

Nobody's gonna tweet back such "negativity" because then you get blocked by Princey. Big man can't stand to get his feelings hurt.

.

Also you can't reply to the (barely decipherable) tweet that started this thread because it was already deleted.

Shorter Aerogram: "Prince cannot fail, he can only be failed."

HNR is an utter failure both in sales and reviews (so far it isn't appearing on anyone's best-of-2015 lists AFAIK), but that isn't because it is a pile of shite, it is because us peasants cannot recognize the magnificent quality of it.

Obviously not you since you don't even know it's "tweeted", not "twittered".

Still, maybe you should "twitter" your question to him: "@Prince Y can you talk "dirty" on TRC but no Electric Intercourse?"

My guess? Whatever "dirty" lyrics are on TRC are framed with heavy religiosity. The Old Testament has its fair share of sex, you just need to look for it. All I know is that no one celebrated the return of Dirty Princey when TRC was released (go figure).

If you think I think he can't fail, maybe you could explain my lack of appreciation for quite a few of his albums.

Besides, Prince's not the only one with a pet crusade that some describe as futile -- you have your own, don't you? I definitely like his more than yours, because in your case it's just about this one guy that won't do what you think he should do, when the solution is so simple if you're so permanently dissatisfied.

Yes, sorry, I'm from the generation when albums still mattered and people read books with actual pages.

The Bible: I think that is just the Song of Songs and it doesn't mention wet circles around the toy. Quite graphic too, contrary to Electric Intercourse which is not about vibrators and batteries.

Anyway, 2016 here we come! It's going to be funky.
