    Prince opened the market to independent artists much prior to its time. He was a visionary and he understood that the industry was about to change. He was an amazing musician that was about the real thing. People just don't get it anymore. He was the last...love him!!!

    I'm not sure if bootlegs were out then, but most bootlegs are music from the 80s and up to early 90s. I think those bootlegs saved his career, because fans wanted more and more.

    In the 90’s he suffered the most tragic death of his child. He bonded with that child for a week and watch him suffer horrendously. For someone as sensitive and vulnerable as Prince you could not blame him if he gave up the music business. He had the added pressure of his fight with Warner Brothers and his marriage disintegrating partly due to Mayte’s inability to handle the trauma of her son’s death.

    I used to wonder,
    why does he come out with music so rapidly?
    If Warner wants him to just slow down a bit, why can't he accomodate them and give the public time to fully digest each project before the next one came out?
    The answer to that question can be found in an interview his former studio engineer, Susan Rogers did with Sunset Sounds. It can be found on youtube.
    Very revealing!

    I wont lie, this was a very long watch but it was very interesting, I didn't know prince only by reference that he was an amazing singer but I like how its very critical is dissecting what actually was going on in Prince's moves and Career. The closest thing i find in this generation that is similar to prince is Kanye without a doubt and quite frankly it kinda gives me solace that maybe Kanye will follow in Prince's Footsteps. Its crazy what this man had to go through to get what he believed was right, and some of his pitfalls in mainstream, in my generation we can definitely it was something done by the higher ups in music but this documentary doesn't really paint that picture, it just put it as if that it was just a conflict of interest betweeen a label and an artist but we all know how predatory and manical the music industry and quite frankly for him to literally fight the labels at their very prime gives me absolute reverence and respect for this man, truly a Man of many hats and quite frankly very stylish hats too.
    Rest in Peace to the Purple One, we really miss you 💜💜🟣

    Prince wanted to be true to himself, but still be viewed as the ultimate hitmaker and businessman. When his attempts to be HARD ("My name is Prince" and "Sexy MF") didn't play with a mainstream audience, he blamed everyone but himself. He retreated to "funk" with the independent NPG releases, which seemed like a carbon copy of the music from the 70's he grew up with. Some of his fans followed, but the critical and financial success he craved did not follow. He became a cult artist once again.

For WB I understand they had a lot respect for him and all But they did stupid things too according Alan Leed Warner bro didn’t put any money to Paisley Park Records he believed it was use as a carrot to get prince stay with WB. Prince two managers got other Artists to be sign in PP without prince but all the their albums got tank didn’t properly promote well.
