If anyone's judgemental enough to the point where a album cover of individual stylized art deprives you from enjoying genuine music straight from the producer, instrumentalist, and lyricist Prince is, then it's one sad colossal loss. There's only a handful of people alive on this earth with that kind of blood.

With that said. I'm totally siked B) He looked pretty sharp recieving his lifetime achievement awards on BET last night aswell

I don't know if this is fair, but Prince has been so active in the last few years that I've sort of presumed that none of it was worth my while. Sometimes releasing your music with too little decorum has this effect on people. I know being prolific seems like the last strike that should be counted against an artist, but nonetheless.

He's like the prolific Axl Rose, as weird as that seems. He kinda surrounds himself with enablers and yes-men and rarely does interviews or promotional material - difference is instead of working on the same stuff he kinda knocks stuff out real fast and moves on.

There's been moments of genius on every record he's done the past decade-plus, but nothing as consistent as in his prime. There are rumours that he is reconciling with Warner Bros. (the label he departed from amidst much turmoil back when he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol), so maybe if he's back on a big label he'll have less yes-men reassuring him that everything he's doing is awesome. Because some of it is and some of it definitely isn't.

Which reminds me: it's been reported by numerous sources that Prince has been secretly filming extravagant music videos and even full musicals for his songs/albums over the past many years, recording on his own dollar with full cast and crew in Paisley Park, and he never actually releases the finished product. One actress came forward and said she had done an entire project with him and other actors years ago and it never even got to see the light of day.

People talk about Axl having all these GN'R rarities in a vault, but Prince literally does have a vault in his home where he stashes all this stuff. When he dies I'm sure a lot of it will start coming out and it should be interesting to say the least.

He does alot of interviews.

this gonna sound racist - but oh well.

he does interviews for black publications that probaly don't get much press.

like jet, ebony, he's on bet - he was on tavist smiley twice......he was even on steve harvey a couple of times. He did alot stuff for the Minnesota Vikings this past season - interviewed by the paper, and wrote a song for the team.

he is very accessible - but it doesn't come across that way, because alot the interviews/stuff he does is mainly geared toward a black audience.

He is nothing like axl

This is going to sound racist, but the black audience is way too homophobic for him to win them today. The 80s were really fucking gay to begin with, even the man's men of the music biz wore make up and such. I know Prince isn't gay, but his androgyny (a huge part of his creative appeal) just is not with the times today. Teenagers aren't going to start acting and dressing like him. I know we aren't only talking about a black teen audience, but Prince is someone who was THE SHIT for a while, and that had to have included those markets. I think he's going to have to be satisfied with aging as gracefully as possible without making a big jump back into the mainstream. And to be honest, that's probably what he wants.
