@KingCam79 @tangible_uno all they gotta start pushing the old songs on adult contemporary radio and pay spotify for placements on the rnb playlists
English

@xtnami_ @tangible_uno That’s the biggest issue with Prince: Promotion. If people don’t know a product is out, how can they listen to it, let alone buy it. This is where the Estate comes in because we need them to right the wrongs that Prince created & they’re dropping the ball BIG TIME being MIA.

Most of Gen-Z doesnt like music enough to appreciate Prince’s music
Sport@BeenRichSport
Sonically Prince isn’t as palatable as Stevie or Mike is. He’s obviously on their level but for the average Gen Z person will gravitate to Thriller over 1999 every time.

@iamslickrick01 just threw the wardrobe up in the air and just grabbed whatever 😭😭

@orgasmicbruno i mean ezra edelman literally made one and the estate shut that down 😭
English

@TheRealCJ1998 i mean half of the chaos and disorder tracks were on the 1993 configuration of the dawn/the gold album 😭
English

The more I think about it, WB did not do a great job of promoting Prince’s later albums. They were really disappointing that Prince didn’t do a Purple Rain 2. Everyone could know albums like Sign O' The Times or something but at the same time Prince was moving too fast for WB and the public.

@TheRealCJ1998 UGTL peaked at #2 in late 87, plus paisley park got finished and wanted to use it, so we got the film instead. i also think that the US reaction of parade probably made him focus on europe. shame tbh, the us tour probably would’ve got him the grammy.

@KingCam79 @TheRealCJ1998 "If I Was Your Girlfriend" being the second single from SOTT was wild
English

@TheRealCJ1998 prince also wanted come (as prince) and the gold experience (as the symbol) to release on the same day but warner’s refused bc of oversaturation. that’s why the live experience happened during 1994 way before the gold album came out and why he barely promoted it when it did
English

@TheRealCJ1998 marylou badeaux (ex warner exec) said they wanted to do more with sign o the times but prince already moved on.

@AaronBastani could of given it to councils so we could build council/community assets

@KingCam79 @unholycyrusss the continental is one of his most slept on songs, the production is top tier
English

@xtnami_ @unholycyrusss I concur wholeheartedly! Some of his best work PERIOD!

@murphdogg29 @LisaCroft japan adores him, major influence on jojo’s bizzare adventure
English

@xtnami_ @LisaCroft Right. Then he grew big audiences in Japan as well. I think the only places he never really toured were India, China, and Africa. Everywhere else he spun the block.

MJ was my gateway drug artist. OG Mike fan from J5, the Jacksons, solo Mike, ect. Most Prince fans were/are BIG MJ fans. We know the man's music, ect. But a lot of the hardcore MJ stans don't know spit about Prince. Another exhibit A....

A Prince biopic would flop outside the US, sorry
English

@yasminesummanx @joinaunionpls literally my co-workers were there and we were going to meet them until they told us it was on fire, it was still on fire on sunday evening
English

@LisaCroft @murphdogg29 he had a bigger audience in europe than the us by 1986
English

@murphdogg29 Flop *outside the US* and they’re right. Man you Americans live in a bubble. The world is a big place. Not just the Anglosphere. No one knows Prince in my part of the world.. it’s not a diss.. we have our own legendary artists that you have never heard of either.
English

i have a whole concept in my head for prince art-house biopic
Markusha@MarkushaKG
@McR1B69 Actually I’d argue there’s quite a lot of potential in Prince’s post-Revolution days for a great, nuanced character study. Unfortunately it wouldn’t portray Prince himself in the most favorable light so there’s no way his estate would ever allow such a movie to be made
