Even if this did happen there are folks here on the Org. that would still b*tch and complain about what songs were on the tracklist.

You would think some people here on the org will never be happy with any future releases unless Prince himself comes back from the dead to oversee its release. I hardly think JayZ is able to walk down the vault isles with a shopping trolly and drop anything he wants into it. Prince had a plan with the HNR series and from what it looks like is they are compilations of orphaned songs working backwards in time. HNR3 was probably set for outtakes from mid 10's upto 2010 or so.

So it will either be HNR3 or there is an album there that was being worked on. I doubt very much it will be a Crystal Ball type compilation of outtakes from 96 onwards.

these people complained about the tracklists while prince was still alive and putting out albums

Or the Tony M remix album.

omg! fake tracklists

let's see, if it's anything like HnR I and II, it would be 'old' tracks and a few new ones:


01: SAMEPAGEDIFFERENTBOOK
02: RUFFENOUGH(VOCAL)
03: FREEURSELF
04: BLACKCOTTONCANDY

05: FRIDAKAHLO
06: STANDUPSTEPBACK
07: GINGERBREADMAN
08: BOYFRIEND
09: INDIFFERENCE
10: AIN'TGONNAMISSUWHENURGONE
11: BUTTERFACE
12: KARMABOOMERANG

I’ve just tweeted this to Jay. Let’s hope he don’t replace Shelby’s rap on Same Page Different Book with his own

don't do that the regulars here are gonna kill me if this is released since 3/4
of these tracks are already on our harddrives

plus, gingerbreadman, if it exists, is probably on the "welcome 2 america" album.

and "karmaboomerang" is like 99/01 or something, again, if it exists

blackcottoncandy might not even be a song, but prince tweeted that a few times.

indifference was probably for the next 3rdEyeGirl album.

frida kahlo might not even be for prince but for one of his girl protege singers.

stand up and b strong dates back to 2008/2009? stand up step back even older,

IF it exists

butterface might be one of the newest tunes, or it might just have been a one off
live thing.

yeah. don't tweet that to jay z

It doesn't exonerate Tidal from anything, all it does is say that the estate had a price for forgiveness.

The Estate attempted to prosecute Tidal for wrongdoing and failed in court. Far from Tidal being fined or having to remove any Prince music, they're receiving an exclusive new album of material. Troy himself is on record as stating that he is pleased the Estate is choosing to 'honour' Prince's existing arrangement with Tidal. Most of the Estate's previous objections to the Tidal deal could be disproven by one look at Prince's twitter account and all the exclusive music he continued to provide Tidal up until the week of his death. But the Estate is being rinsed by lawyers.

Money-hungry, in-fighting, clueless siblings and their lawyers willing to do their bidding...

I hope they do a decent job...

A guy who lives in Minneapolis has just posted this on his FB page ? "1 june 2018.....Piano and microphone stay tune;)" Supposed to be released by WBR https://www.facebook.com/...462400828/

He sounds pretty sure of himself. Seems really unlikely though.

And there you have it... A fucking rapper who's ignorant about anything regarding Prince's music will be selecting music (read: incoherent, irrelevant mess of a release and thrown together songs without any logical structure like "Crystal Ball"...) and decide with other ignorant estate cunts what we will hear...
Don't be surprised if the songs will be "remixed", "completed" with irrelevant tracks and/or edited to fuck like that "Nothing Compares 2 U" release...
Fuck Tidal, Jay-Z and The Estate... Next thing you know they'll have QuestLove write the liner notes full of imagined "facts"...

Neversin.

its unfortunate ...."we" dont have a say....maybe militant can plead his case to the right people

Amazing!! Thanks for the info.

TITLES, anyone?

What should the estate call the next two releases?

Get Princely with it...let's pick a title and maybe they'll use it!

Mine...The Dawn and The Afterworld...

I think there are at least two if not more releases.

Troy's statements about a release was well before the Estate came to an agreement with Tidal last week.

Looking forward to this.

It's highly likely Jay-Z is choosing from a batch of later tracks (likely continuations of Prince's HitnRun series)presented to him by the Estate. I hardly think Jay-Z is wandering around in the vault picking whatever he likes. Please. And there is no suggestion the songs will be remixed. In fact, Jay-Z's comment indicates the opposite if you actually bother to READ the article before commenting (And crying. Or both.). Some of you are too blinded with prejudice to see the potential here and on the only streaming platform Prince approved in his lifetime. I guess you're all good with Spotify though? And then you want to talk about respecting Prince's wishes and legacy? BS. This is all about your whims and preferences. It has no connection to any statements or ethics Prince espoused at all.

We'll see, I'm hoping for Hit 'n Run Part 3 just to finish the deal.

[Edited 5/14/18 2:33am]

Some clueless people here do not seem to understand the term "remixed" used by me on this topic, so let me clarify:

There are already fully mixed tracks in Prince's vault, Michael Howe and whomever is in there mixing/remixing these tracks for potential release; for example by pushing all the slides way up and expose every track recorded of a song and leave them there (WTF?!) or leveling them to retarded results, see: "Nothing Compares 2 U" for his personal(?) and quite bullshit mix of Prince's demo with Susannah and Eric Leeds in the mix and then the added Clare Fisher strings and St. Paul's backing vocals track which were recorded for "The Family"'s release of the song and not Prince's demo (version) of the song...

If they wanted to release a Prince solo version then they should have just released his 1991 studio re-recording or have left the original demo for what it is without fucking with it and not remix it into something historically inacurate like they did...

So, it seems we'll be getting these kinds of releases from now on because they fail to adhere to or even consult the numerous research that has been done regarding his recordings...

Neversin.
