I'd say charging so much money for his shit.

Have at it.

When he decided to open his mouth and let people know what he thought about shit.

Can't decide. In no particular order.

1. The name change
2. NPGMC
3. NEWS
4. Graffiti Bridge (The movie)
5. Leaving Warner
6. Taking the fams to court
7. Management of the Crystal Ball release
8. The Tora Tora Sunday show interview
9. Not releasing Dolphin as a standard single
10. Speaking

plus many more...

When he started his little petition against Warner Bros.(walking around with slave on his face). When he kept denying the death of his child. When he would say he does not go by the name Prince anymore...this is his new name pointing to this symbol. When he announced he was using his name Prince again at a press conference he held.

...including

11. Firing Wendy & Lisa
12. Killing Come, Endorphinmachine and Zannalee before releasing them
13. Employing The Game Boyz
14. Listening to anything Larry Graham told him about "the one, true God" and joining the JW
15. Not taking sound business advice from Warners while in their employ (betcha he has regrets about that now when the implications/limitations of "freedom" have truly had time to settle in, but don't look for him to admit it)
16. Cheating on Susannah Melvoin (betcha he has regrets about that too, hence songs like Violet The Organ Grinder, Zannalee, Curious Child, Strange But True)
17. The Rainbow Children.

Double co-sign. It was so much better for me when I didn't know anything about Prince the person.

1 Suing his fans.

2 The NPG shops.

3 The Brits '95.

He was a much more acceptable negro when he just sang and danced.

I can't speak for anyone else, NPS, but I am a black woman and I don't care about the politics or religion of any of the artists I listen to. I don't wanna know. I am sorry that I am not as enlightened as some of the people on these boards but that's the way I feel about it.

stymie said:

No one is asking you to speak for anyone else. Nor am I presuming to speak for anyone else.

What you being black has to do with this is beyond me.

And what are you apologizing for? Did someone suggest that you did or said something that you must apologize for?

Everyone on here just says what's on their mind. So did I. You shouldn't feel like you have apologize for that. I certainly don't.

I don't actually mind hearing about an artist's feelings or politics, as long as it's comprehensible to me (no, that doesn't mean "as long as I agree with it.") Prince gives me a headache.

Cee-Lo Green, Mobb Deep, Marvin Gaye, Rage Against The Machine and Mr. Lif are all examples of artists whose sociopolitical viewpoints are interesting and stimulating to me. Not labyrinthian and murky.

1. Leaving WB (he could've still build NPG records
under the label if he wanted 2)
2. Stating that "Prince is DEAD", when he really wasn't.
3. Braking up with Mayte then divorcing her 4 no reason.
4. Graffiti Bridge
5. Under The Cherry Moon
6. Dumping Wendy and Lisa.
7. Opening his mouth too much (keep the mystery, man)
8. Being introduced 2 Larry Graham.
9. NOT HAVING 2003 CELEBRATION.
10.Not even have non-NPGMC fans enter in2 his site
not til they pay a fee (spread
the ).
11.Wearing that SPEEDO swimsuit with those suspenders on it.
12.Not teaming up with Miles Davis when he had time 2.
13.Girl 6 Soundtrak

Not learning from his mistakes.

Killing Old Friends 4 Sale before releasing it.

Reworking the Come album into just another R&B album when it was such a good rock'n'funk album.

3 Chains O' Gold, the movie. !!!

In no particular order:

- The name change
- The "slave" thing
- The Tora Tora interview on the Sunday Show
- The open letter to Madonna
- Satan's Claws
- Graffiti Bridge
- Most of the "3 Chains o gold" video
- Everything that's ever appeared on NPGMC and L4OA

apart from that, he's good.

When Prince let George Clinton on stage for his last singing of 1999! (on the rave ppv)

wow that might have been the worst performance of that song ever!! .. the sad thing was it went all around the world



yuck!
