Prince Was in Talks With Netflix For Reality Show

I hope this has not already been posted, couldn't find anything, though:

.

"Dearly beloved, after Prince's untimely death at the age of 57 earlier this year, we'll always wonder what might have been. What else would he have written? Would he have done more episodes of New Girl? Well, one of those lingering possibilities comes from GQ's compilation of reminiscences from Prince's friends and colleagues. Maya Washington, a photographer Prince befriended, mentions a Netflix show about Paisley Park."

.

Hey loudmouth, shut the fuck up, right?

The article has been posted twice already, but personally, I don't believe Maya's, (aka, "Lovesex is my jam") version of anything. I think like many associates lately, she makes up stuff as she goes along. lol

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

No!!! Don't shatter my illusions! Prince was going to do reality TV? Please. Somebody tell me there would've been a good reason for this. A TRULY good reason.

Ok, I already thought of a couple:

To help forward the careers of those he supported there (Judith Hill etc)
To let people see inside the Park because he wanted to start opening up

Seems pretty unlikely Prince would do a reality show.

Details seem sketchy at best but if this was actually a thing then I'd have to think it was to focus on 3EG/Josh/Liv/Andy/Shelby/Guests at Paisley with Prince showing up now and then.

Now... Prince doing a cameo/writing music for Luke Cage. THAT would have been awesome.

/- She also said he was not going to be in it . So I believe her this was probaly an idea to promote Paisley Park.

Like I said earlier, I take most of what has been said the past few months by these characters with a grain of salt. It's only a hunch, but I think it's more likely something she may have tried to talk Prince into.

So many people are exaggerating so much lately and I'm just not buying a lot of it.

I disagree. I think done right (more like a docu-series than a trashy Kardashian esque reality show) it could have been an excellent platform to get the music of some of his upcoming proteges, young producers etc heard by a wide audience. Also would have been great for business.

I am skeptical, would want to see some proof of that. But knowing Prince he could have suggested it and pulled out last minute - that is his style too. biggrin

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

I would have liked to have seen Prince do something more along the lines of "Live At Daryl's House".I really enjoy watching that show.

It's not outside the realms of possibility that an idea for something was floated, but to call it 'reality' is probably stretching it even for reality TV, Prince couldn't even released a live show without tinkering with it to hell. I doubt any idea that was pitched would've been the Paisley version of Honey Boo Boo or Real Housewives of Chanhassen.

I really want the media to avoid asking Maya anything because she ends up sounding like a dingbat every time she opens her mouth. She is a professional YouTube personality so if anything she was probably trying to urge Prince to do a reality show so she could be on it.

Yup.
If this were real show i bet the only time we get to see/hear Prince in this 'show' is in phone conversations between him & Josh, 3EG, whoever for a brief moment and P performing w/ 3EG at PP at the end of an episode (think of an episode were staff at PP are setting up for Paisley Park After Dark shows).

Hell, i'd watch even if there's hardly any Prince. lol

The show was supposedly going 2 be about Paisley Park and other artists he has helped. He didin't want 2 b on camera. If you've watched Maya's video, you'll know what I mean. I'm not 1 4 reality tv either, but I highly doubt it would have been the "reality" on tv we see now. It would have been for the good of moving music forward...and I think it was a beautiful idea. Forget that it was marketed as "reality tv". It was about the music. Still is.

So Maya wasn't making it up. I would have enjoyed a documentary-style show about PP.

Ah Yes The Great Paisley Park...

That Mythical Place that was churning out hits and legends in 2016-16 like Motown in it's heyday!

I can TOTALLY see netflix wanting to do a reality tv show about it... (minus Prince)..

What a brilliant idea...

'The Get Down' who? lol
