yeah, but he ain't been thinkin too kindly of his fans at times. stuff like sendin e-mails askin for one's merchandise that wuz bought with their own money, without an initial explanation as to why they'd want the stuff and no mention of any sort of compensation for sendin the stuff in ain't really gonna make you look too cool in some people's eyes, imho. that's how i see it.

you wanna have your onlookers help you in your struggle? don't be such a brat about it when you ask and at least give a mofo an idea as to what you want. you can't help a person if they don't tell you what they need help on from the get-go.


mine!

I don't know what y'all are thinking, but the way I look at it is, Prince music has been there for me through my hard times, so why shouldn't I be there 2 support him in hard times? yeah it's true Prince Music can be pricey, but hell I got a job, I can always buy the same CD again. I love my music as much as anybody, probably even more, but the way I look at it is, I think being a fan means supporting the artist and his music all the way through. It's what make you feel apart of the journey

I'll send my stuff just because I know the struggle Prince has been dealing with his record company for years and years to come. All he wants is freedom 2 create and when ur working under the influences of a negative setting, u may not always have that choice.

This is the reason why music sucks today. Record company's has been getting away with putting out shitty artist all becuase they know they can do it and get away with it, but as soon as a artist like Prince who comes along 2 challenge them, the artist gets all the flack instead of the real enemy.

What you hear on the radio today is not real music it's a marketing strategy.

Some of you might not agree Prince is the best, but Prince is a Phucking Geunsis.

I'm sick of the record excutives feeding me stoopid, unoriginal shit through my stereo. I don't know how much longer of this I can take. Orgers y'all can do u want u want ...

I'm taking a stand against the man

Phuck anybody who has anything 2 say about


If Prince never stood up for what he believed in, he would be like alot of musicians/artist that gets lost in the structor of unliablity. They lose focus, They lose the art, Then eventually they will lose their heart and their soul, which will most definetly give the label of being a sale out. I've seen to many times with to many artist and I am so glad that Prince ain't even about to go that route,regardless of what peoplet think about him, say about it or even curse him to his grave.

Rather any of you agree with me or not I'm still going to do it, just because Prince music has always been there for me. Now is the time I can do something for Prince in return. He's not asking me to buy anything, He's not asking me to sale anything and even if this is a publicity stunt, I can look back at it and say I had apart in it .

I've been supporting Prince's cause for over 20 years, primarily with my wallet. In fact, there oughtta be a copy of N.E.W.S. on its way to my house as we speak (there BETTA be, anyway).

If that ain't enough, well, I don't know what to say.

Sweety, you know I love ya. But you gotta understand that this is all just a scam on his part. He has all the evidence he needs to prove his case, he doesn't need your CD's. You paid money for them, so you should enjoy them. You're not gonna get anything in return, cuz he doesn't give a shit. And as far as everything else goes, it's not like he recorded music and gave it to you personally. He recorded his songs in exchange for profit. If he was so generous, he wouldn't charge for the NPGMC, and he'd be constantly giving away his music, but he's charging you for it. You don't owe him a thing. We've all supported him for years by buying his music and going to his shows. We've given him all that he could ever want. Let him be satisfied with that.

the bottom line is prince made a business deal. he forfitted certain perks in order to receive other benefits. prince signed a deal to give him production credits and royalties rather than ownership of his master recordings. he was 18 years old and in charge of his own record. do you realize how incredible that is? you can't have everything. he sacrificed one thing on order to get another. now that he is a rich and successful recording artist he wants to turn back time and change things. well, you can't haveit both ways. prince should be so thankful for the opportunities he was given and the life those opportunities gave him. when he was already successful, years later, he signed another deal. it was a terrible deal and he should have known better. he got greedy and now he's paying the price for that greed. i believe he should cut his losses and just deal with things as they are. he really should wake up everyday and thank God for that bank statement, that recording studio, his large plot of land, his doves, his wife, his car (which he drives poorly), his employees, the fact that he has employees and evey other wonderful, superstar perk of life that he has. this whinging over his back catalogue is sickening! regardless of the fact that he wrote and produced the material...who supplied him with a purple jet? who supplied him with his vanity label, who who suffered the costs of prince's random behaviour every time he cancelled a tour, album, single, video, interview, etc.?

puh-lease...cause what? cause he's spoiled, greedy and salty. that's the only cause i see.

If Prince hooks me up with some of his hot chicks, then maybe I'll give him some CD's.

Lisa, I applaud your courage to stand up for what you believe in. You might get called some names or get made fun of, but at the end of the day, you don't have to go home to any of these people. Do your thing, girl. I have mad love and respect for you for that.
