@TheRealCJ1998 You could be right. It's still frustrating that of the very very little that has been promised e.g. a Parade set this year (as stated at last year's Celebration), even that doesn't seem assured because at any point they can just say they're still stuck renegotiating deals

@kracklite3121 The estate must be trying to get out of this deal that was made x.com/sms130official…

I really don’t think the Prince Estate wants to work with Warner Bros any longer. Like I said before the song With This Tear was released under license to Legacy Recordings even outside of the States where WB still have global rights and the song was recorded when he was still with them. This upcoming vault album they’re working on will definitely be a collaboration with Sony and Warner Bros aren’t gonna see a single dime from it. IMO, I think this is karma for how WB treated Prince in the 90s.

@DCO754 Same.... Still Waiting @prince @LondellMcMillan @CharlesFSpicer

@kracklite3121 Yes. I could also add ‘And How’, because what I really, really want is a Parade Deluxe Set haha

Ten #prince tracks I’d like to listen to before I go deaf: 1. Evolsidog 2. 7779311 - Prince’s vocals 3. Ditto Nasty Girl 4. Fun Love 5. Take Me With You (sans Apples) 6. Friction 7. The Divine 8. The Dawn 9. Electric Intercourse / studio overdubs 10. An unknown masterpiece

@TheRealCJ1998 Not in the US but i thought most of the pre-1995 unreleased catalog is still tied to WB contracts so they still have to be involved in their release?

@kracklite3121 I don’t know where your from but here in the states almost all of Prince’s albums are under license to Sony/Legacy. It’s been that way since the beginning of 2021.

@TheRealCJ1998 Idgaf about petty disputes between multimillion dollar businesses

@TheRealCJ1998 If it was just one cover sure. But everything they do is low cost, low effort. Prince (and the fans) deserve better

@kracklite3121 I’ve seen way worse covers than what they released. Not a lot of artwork nowadays gets put into effort so I just take whatever

From Charles IG. Looks like With This Tear by Prince is one of the first songs from an upcoming vault album and honestly I’m not mad at this and I’ll let you know why: 1. There has been talk by a knowledgeable fan that the SDE concept is a flawed concept and was great years ago. Now it’s just ridiculous especially for someone of Prince’s caliber. 2. A vault series makes more sense plus an outtakes set will be a lot more cheaper than a half baked SDE. With an outtakes set, we could get different versions of songs something like a Version 1, 2, & 3. It makes more sense. 3. An outtakes set would be taken more seriously than an SDE. Everything was just crammed together. Some of these songs could do well on their own. There’s no reason why a good song like Open Book should be buried on the 2nd disc of vault tracks on the D&P SDE. In the end Prince literally has too much music to be crammed under a remastered album. With an outtakes set we could get jams, alternate versions, WIPs, finished songs all that. I think the Prince Estate are definitely moving away from the SDE concept and to me I think it’s for the best.

@radiator9990826 @prince @LondellMcMillan Because they're ignorant and don't give a fuck about anything

@prince @LondellMcMillan The song was recorded in 1991. Why not use his name in that era’s font? Why use the purple rain one? 🤷🏼‍♂️

“With This Tear” is out now. Listen at prince.lnk.to/WTT. Recorded in 1991 at Paisley Park and newly mixed by Chris James, this track finds Prince in full command, writing, producing, and performing every note. Later recorded and released by Céline Dion, the song now returns in its original form. Join us at @PaisleyPark tomorrow in our annual A Day 2 Reflect A Night 2 Remember celebration of Prince’s life and legacy. 💜

@PaulKatz9 @LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream Completely agree

@kracklite3121 @LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream In the NYT article, everything that was objected to were items *I already knew* about Prince. Changes nothing. The only thing I didn't know was the Jill incident. Not enough to cause "generational harm." If we understand Prince is a genius *and* complicated, so can new fams.

Minnesota Star Tribune music critic Jon Bream joins the Essential Minnesota podcast to reflect on the artist he knew, and what’s become of Paisley Park 10 years after Prince’s death. His take? Not nearly enough of Prince’s legacy has emerged. 🎧️ startribune.com/essential-minn…

@PaulKatz9 @LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream The irony is that Purple Rain, Prince's most commercially viable project, portrays Prince as a total asshole. Asshole Prince was much more interesting than the sanitised facsimile these morons keep flogging

@kracklite3121 @LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream I sensed this when I read the NYT article on the shelved documentary: Mr. McMillan's objectivity is gone. These replies come across a bit delusional. Something is off if he's flipping out over a benign, constructively critical Jon Bream interview. ....and 50 projects? WHAT?

@LondellMcMillan @blak_anarchist @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream Stop doubling down. Apologize and promise to do better and people won't think you're such an asshole

@blak_anarchist @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream And they are loudly supportive also, joining us for Celebration and and other content released over 50 projects and engaged with the Prince FAM community! 3 years and much to do indeed!

@LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream It's such pathetic, smallminded behaviour to accuse Jon of "pretending to like" Prince for having a nuanced, critically supportive take. The same mental cowardice that torpedoed the Netflix documentary for daring to probe Prince's humanity and complexity. Fucking lawyers, man

@StarTribune @Baron3121 Not surprised by your misrepresentations and errors @jonbream. Let's have a one on one public discussion and debate so that I can correct you and your history of contentious story telling against Prince while pretending to like him.

@MrMarinKnows Stop complaining! In 2028 you *might* be able to see a revised version of a Purple Rain musical everyone said sucked ass on Broadway

Prince’s Estate let RSD - just days away from the 10th anniversary of his passing - come and go with nothing for P fam and music fans alike to partake in and be excited about Don’t mind me though I’m just “well intentioned and misinformed”

@LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream I forgot to include arrogant, delusional and tyrannical. An ugly caricature of a sleazy, crooked industry suit

@LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream @LondellMcMillan every Prince fan in the world has been calling you a talentless, clueless, ignorant, dislikable, greedy, parasitic piece of shit who has singlehandedly ruined the legacy of a great artist for the last week. Are you going to debate all of them

@LondellMcMillan @StarTribune @Baron3121 @jonbream First Ezra Edelman and now Jon Bream. Why does @LondellMcMillan hate good journalism

@haaretzcom Oh no! That sounds awful :( luckily there's a cure. They just need to be brave. People are calling it "the hero's way out"

'I felt I was a monster': IDF soldiers talk about the 'moral injury' – and the silence haaretz.com/israel-news/is…

@davidmdraiman @rogerwaters @Billy Genocidal Zionist loser

And here I was open to dialogue, even with someone I so deeply disagree with. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Honestly @rogerwaters, this is the reaction I unfortunately expected. It’s disappointing, but predictable. Be brave Roger. Blessed are the peacemakers, right? I’m always willing to try. We must all continue to try. Even with you.

An open letter to @Billy: Dear Billy Corgan How are you? It’s been too long. @davidmdraiman Someone forwarded me this chap’s appearance on your podcast. I’d never heard of him. Anyway, it turns out he has heard of me. It seems he has a problem with me standing up for human rights, particularly the human rights of my brothers and sisters in Gaza who are being slaughtered in a genocide by the armed forces of the Nazi racist, pariah state of Israel. You, being the lovely fella you are gave this little piece of shit a chance to clarify or even modify his position. He did. He is a psychotic racist Nazi pig. I’m told, Billy, he writes messages on bombs before the IDF drops them on civilians in Gaza. Enough said. I will continue to work with all my brothers and sisters all over the world in the movement to demand equal human rights for all human beings, irrespective of their religion or ethnicity or nationality. If you, my friend are wondering if I want a conversation with this obnoxious little prick? The answer is non merci Billy, life’s too short, he can inhabit his tiny corner of hell without the benefit of my love and truth. Love R. PS. @Disturbed ? 😂👍Er? Yeah! Just a bit!

@iamslickrick01 Could have been avoided if he hadn't spent three years as a Nazi

He’s being understanding & taking accountability. This is how I know all this shit is performative & them people further proving him right. Y’all don’t really want him to do anything but be broke & not work.
