.Doesn't matter how many artist launched their careers at NPG.It was used to relaunch Chaka & Larry's stellar careers. What matters is its still around after over a decade. Prince himself has had several successful records & albums on it. Including "TMBGITW", The double platinum selling "Emancipation",Musicology the half a million sold projects Lotusflow3r & number #1 debut 3121....

Come on,man......we all know that Paisley Park Records was a joke It was a "vanity label" that Warners gave to Prince,just to keep him happy.Most of the albums released on Paisley Park didn't even reach gold status.Many of the artists only released one (flop) album on the label.

What's sad is that,the label started off with a few promising releases (The Family,Mazarati,etc) but then they started releasing crap like Good Question and Dale Bozzio.The last straw was the Carmen Elektra album.Over $2 million was spent on promoting that project and when it bombed,Warners shut down the label.They figured out that Prince wasn't interested in signing "real" artists to the label.He used the label as a way to reward his loyal friends (T.C. Ellis) and the women he was sleeping with,lol.

I didn't refer to Paisley Park. I already knew that Paisley Park was a vanity label included in his renegotiated deal with the Wb. I agree with what U said..I was talking about NpG label...
