am i the only one here who doesn't like the fact that prince hitched his wagon to jay-z. backwhen he first announced it, literally felt my stomach turn over. the smartest thing prince could/should have was to set up his own streaming service for his old masters and and his vault. by giving them to tidal he has given his music back to the masters so to speak. but he always did half-assed stuff like that. i hoped NPGMC would be exactly that but he fucked that up too. it hurts my heart to think about how he could have effectively utilized to internet to maximize his own profits and the fams access to his work.

Prince wanted the right to do with his music as he damned well pleased. And he did as he damned well pleased with it. We all get to enjoy it. It's all good. Who knows the future may hold something even better.

good news. i hope more albums and/or the contents of the vault are released

Insanely uneven album. Ironically, the last time I listened to it from beginning to end was 2010.

Still bummed out there's a 20Ten: Deluxe Edition just sitting the vault somewhere that we'll probably never get to hear.

Pretty stupid btw that Tidal did not advertise this, it's not on there New Albums page nor did they send out a tweet about it (or I missed it).

20Ten is one of the hard to find albums and I think many people never heard it before.

So it would be a nice way to get more people to their service.

(same with the downloads of all his albums now, this wasn't possible when they added them at his birthday)

20ten is decent......I consider it a musical sibling to the LotusFlower/MPLS CDs!

Beginning Endlessly gets NO LOVE, which is a bit of a crime. It's a great track!

I think it did, when it first came out.
Not my favourite album by a long mile, but still a fun little record with a few good tracks and at least three great ones
