At that moment, Prince and Spike should have started their own filming, marketing and distribution company to rival WB. Would have been the right moment.
Yes you're right! Whitney Houston signed the same contract of 100 million. From the contract she had to do 6 albums, but she did only 3. She probably had to pay the record label back because she didn't fulfilled the rules of the contract.
I've followed Prince career since day one, and I truly believe he was taken out the night his private plane had to make an emergency stop coming from Atlanta Ga. It's fit the scenario. A week later he's supposedly found dead in front of his elevator at Paisley Park the next morning. Really !!! Nall the week before it was over for Prince. The man wasn't just a genius when it came to music, played 29 instruments. He was a shrewd business man also, and those devil planned strategically for years how to get him out. Hell Prince was his own Music Industry. His time was over due. RIP
@@mommag4438he was withdrawing from pills, hence the flu symptoms during those shows, then he took pills on the plane and OD’d due to withdrawing and already having a lowered tolerance. He was trying to ween himself off and it was/wasn’t working, hence Kirk calling the doctor for help, then he died.
When he wrote don't let the elevator take you down in Let's Go Crazy, it was originally written Don't let the devil take you down, but Warner Bros. made him change it. Prince died in an elevator. I say be was murdered and his childhood Dr. , whom he trusted so much , got a slap on the wrist He should be in prison
Remember when this came out, this was an revolutionary move by Spike and Prince, Malcolm X revealed the disunity divide in Black community, the powers be didn't want this movie made cause it was showing and telling the truth of the disunity divide in the Black community, Prince made an bold move to make sure the movie was done, the powers be was trying to stop Spike Lee, have the blu ray in collection, like your channel it tells the truth
My theory about Prince death was over when his plane made an emergency landing when he was unconscious and the plane landed. That's when Prince was taken off the scene, but it was dragged out another week when the doctor son went to Paisley Park and "supposed" to have found him deceased. Why is BS!!! Remember Prince telling his fans to hold on to their prayers. Why would he state that? Very thin when authorities didn't look at his "death" as a homicide. With a celebrity high profiled as Prince so law enforcement would just act nonchalant about his death. Authorities would not find it imperative a man supposed died from fentanyl, a drug we all know kills, but let them investigate a regular drug dealer and they want to give that person Life w/o parole. Make it make sense‼️Plus he was seen on video walking into his doctor's off the day before, and he went to the pharmacy pacing the parking lot. 15 pills supposed what the doctor prescribed. So I'm curious they want to believe Prince took 15 pills through the night, and then started on the street pills loaded with fentanyl. Naaa, make it make sense, and if he supposedly had pain killers all over the place? Why did he bother to go to the doctor the day before. It's never added up to me, but I do believe like all the rest it was time for Prince to exit of the world stage. It's more to the Industry that the eye 👁️.
Yup somebody murdered him and cremated him the next day?? Now we will never find out what exactly killed Prince 😠😠...Yeah yeah sure take the easy way out and blame it on fentanyl instead of doing a full blown investigation💔💔 !!!
Given the content of the video... I don't really see what it has the title it has. Prince's physical death was accidental. If you are saying he had a financial death... that lasted a few years... upto 10 albums that was on that "$100 million" contract, ok... but he survived that... and had a lucrative career after that. At least that's the conclusion folks who valuate his estate came to. I think he made multiple times on touring what he made from album sales... but I don't have any real data to back that up.
More than likely, what Prince talked about in this video concerning his record deal with Warner Bros., and the fact that they owned the rights to his recordings "mastered" and released by them, eventually led to his proclamation of the death of "PRINCE" (1958-1993) on his 1994 Come album. The album would be Prince's final Warner Bros. album under his name in that period. For the remainder of his con-tract with the company, his name would be represented by the "Love Symbol," and he would be referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince." WB didn't own the rights to any recordings Prince made as the "Love Symbol" since his con-tract was made with his strawman, "PRINCE." It was a legal loophole to circumvent the claws of WB.
@@MakeArtNotWar2023 yeh but i still don´t get it why did he sign the contract? and then later go like fokk this y áll ripping me off i´m prince muffkrr fokk this!! i mean it is what it is when signed that second or third time he wasn´t a rookie anymore of any sort so it´s not like the boys from the cult or aerosmith who signed choke contract in beginning and still are under that after 40 50 yrs
Ooh weee. Gosh I remember when Paramount pictures chased Spike right after he released "She gotta have it"...the deal couldn't happen because Eddie was the box office hit and Arsenio grand stand late night. Never knew Spike went to Warner Bros -but they thought Spike would do the credit card thing again! I love that Spike figured away to do his movie. Partly a conversation with Prince to gain money and down the road the sound track for Girl 6!!! You have strung this along nicely!!!
I am so thrilled. I always enjoy your vids as you know but Carmen! I paused and read those snippets. It's more fleshed out for me now. She always was kind of cagey in everything I heard when talking about Prince but has soften in the recent years. Yet I NEVER saw or heard anything so straightforward about their relationship or the demise. Thank you Sinnik. My nosiness as reached a spot of euphoria thanks to these tidbits being fleshed out.
.... & if Hollywood & the academy wasn't so racially bias Malcom.X would have won best picture, best actor & multiple other categories. One of many times Prince's philanthropy helped black artist/projects & communities in need of help. 💜 ○(+>
I just wish Prince had left behind a completed with attorneys, easy to find, definitive Last Will and Testament so that all of his assets would've been in order which would've prevented every sibling from getting dragged into it, costing millions and the government wouldn't have gotten more than their fair share of his estate.
@@Carmen-us1ew Like Prince's good friend Arsenio Hall use 2 say. "Things that make U go hmm...?" You're right I don't get that either. ++Peace, Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul++
Agreed. When it comes to the handling of Paisley Park even though Prince himself expressed interest in it becoming a museum. I think it should also function as a performing arts venue, a great way to give back and nurture the future talent from his beloved hometown
Wasn't accidental. He was probably walked into it. Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Donny Hathaway, Phyllis Hyman, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston all released, or were working on albums. The "Storm" of hooks, crooks and roaches.
Whitney wasn’t working on an album thanks she was quitting the business and about to remarry bobby & have another child. She was pregnant and not on drugs. Was bashed to death!
@@shellystoj5199 I’m sorry but no she wasn’t pregnant. Granted her death is highly suspicious. There’s is no reason the medical would not state she was pregnant. He had no reason to keep that hidden. The medical examiner went into great detail about her uterus. Not only was she not pregnant her uterus was beginning to shed. Meaning her body was about to have her monthly visit. I seen Bobby Browns sister state what you said. Not sure if to she realizes how much detail the medical examiner noted on Whitney Houston’s medical examiner report.
I feel you. But if you are familiar with the time period we’re covering right now and the subject matter (his battle with WB). You know the title is 💯 on target. C’mon bruh. I expected some o ya’ll to know this stuff. 😉
Very true stuff, I was in the middle of these circles and dramas. Thats why I never signed and ran from the biz. Lol I was to young but street-wise. Many deep stories. But maybe share with the right producer one day. (Rock in Peace Prince and MJ) 😎
Once again (Sinnik22) I am impressed by Ur work✝☮💜The music, film & theater industry is a tough business 4 artists, so fair payment 4 the passion is often neglected when U see how many billions in sales are made .....When U become a world star as an artist, everything around U becomes surreal & unrealistic....♀♂⚧♾ Stay tune:D & belove:D⚛
Confused about this one 🕜. Prince knew 4.21 was his DATE. THE QUEENS born Day. For you or 4 u = 4.21. 3121 = 4.21. Aspirin & Wine 4.21. gotta watch again ,😍
in the year 33 Jezus died on 21 april after being beaten almost dead they crucfied him and apparantly i wasn´t there but i´m not unwilling to believe it i believe in miracles after they layed him in his final resting place h e y he just stood up and went along his way of closuring his business with his grasshoppers before yehh hey that´s even more fantastic and for another time and place all i´m saying he put his foot down in high and low high places
REST IN PEACE PRINCE 🕊️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
i have to make a correction here i think thouhj certainly believe starwacking by the elite is real in prince´s case today someone pointed at me the fact that vanity denise matthews died 17 februari 2016 2 months prior to prince nelson rogers his death yes i forgot about that yes si mi stupido mi est dumb hiro grande yehh so ehh but that changes everything in my perspective u know --- vanity date of death 17 februari 2016 and she was and always stayed prince´s love of his life even after their break-up in 1984 whatever he did after and with whomever it never satisfied him like with her he always kept longing for her for vanity yeh so prince state of mind and heart after feb 2016 did he had any lust or real wanting to go any further anymore? and i know if yr in a wave like that and fokkin hard u don´t see a the way out or just guiding light for to focus on no it´s HELL so possibility prince feeling that inner nudge to follow his lifelong love whereever she went she went in death and he wanted to go after her it is not a total uncommon fenomeen phenomenon between lovers of real deep and hard hitting loss of the other yeh heavy hé so idk how it came about but he did it i think 2 months later 21 april 2016 . . . . . . may God bless them
This may not be a popular opinion but as a Chronic Pain Patient I know the stigma and loss of control Prince would have faced if he had pursued treatment for the pain he was in. I believe he did plan to check out if his self medicating for pain became public. He gave us everything! Rest well Prince ☮️💜
@@Sinnik22 Yep, very true I was deep in these circles and left before getting signed. Only way out is to fake it or have them take it. Maybe I'll share the full story one day. Great work @Sinnik22
Anyone who claims that Prince planned his death needs to go talk to Larry Graham. In his last years there was no one who was a closer, more trusted confidant to Prince than Larry Graham. Graham will tell you that Prince DID NOT have a death wish, and that Prince's death WAS NOT the result of anyone other than Prince himself who ACCIDENTALLY killed himself by a lethal mixture of BOTH over the counter medications and prescription pain killers.
Wrong, he died 319 days after his birthday on 4/21 queen Elizabeth 90th birthday, he had a song titled 319 I would die 4u came out 1984....4/ U equal 21 in simple gematria
Enough with your conspiracy theories. Hebrew ch9v27 .it was his time to go.prince struggled with pain .but due to his jehovah witness belief. They are not allowed to take blood.transfusion prince needed a new hip operation . Sadly he was hook up on pain meds.sadly he overdosed.
For them to see the Jersey Shore as an appropriate location is just very typical of how white American can't help but to see people who aren't white. Also, it's just super interesting how record contracts purport to want to efficiency but then spend a million dollars to make 1,001,000, still never consulting the artist first and foremost.
This was great to watch the underlining of the business side. The music industry is complex but you have to get proper representation. His success wasn't based on talent alone. He had awesome management. They probably felt disrespected after he turned on them. The record company has really supported Prince I understood that ownership is imperative for self reliance. He owned 100% of his publishing. I remember noticing on the records the Controversy Publishing. I was studying all of that because of my interest in the industry. I knew back in the 80s. I was going to be in the creative space for my occupation. So hearing this was quite lethargic for me. Hearing how he was with Carmen Electra who in my opinion other than her dancing was quite mediocre. He invested in his Girlfriends a lot. The only one that really impacted was Vanity. Everything that followed after that beside The Time with Morris Day was only trying to keep up. Paisley Park label could've been so much more. I guess once you are in that Matrix. You have to find a way to just exist.
Why didn’t Prince release his on records and press them and deliver them to the stores and pay for all the advertising, videos , photo shoots, etc. it sounds like he wants to bite the hand that feeds him. As I recall he tried to do it on his own and failed miserably. Screwed his fans and didn’t deliver nothing on time. Great musician and performer but I don’t see much business sense in him. He wanted all the money even though WB backed him and made him mega rich. Prince was just a musical pimp. Used to like him but now I see he was arrogant, silly, talented in music, but couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag. Also seemed to use people who obviously wanted to be used.
It always seemed interesting to me how 'Malcolm X' always talked about "who the enemy is", but what color were those hands holding microphones in front of him though?
It wasn’t a true death, but O(+> planned Prince’s death in order to call himself O(+>. The cover of his “come” album had his life & death dates, 1958-1993. Essentially because he wasn’t happy with his relationship with WB. Because Prince ceased to exist, O(+> got free of WB and in 1999, Prince was reborn. The rest of this season explains the process. Hope this helped.😬
Prince didn't plan nothing, the devil came and collected just like all those people with rediculous money..huge for a few years and then all go out really bad.
That WB contract was bad new to begin with, He should’ve never signed it Because I’m starting believe that he didn’t read the rest of the contract but when he saw 100 million dollar and becoming vice president part he went for it and signed it. There is no such thing as good contract deal for any artist and there are many reasons why I’m starting to be researcher myself about music industrys there good sides and bad sides even darker and not lot of artists are aware that, As for Prince I can’t judge him, Yes he had lot flaws like the rest of us, As for WB 1992 contract it was red flag 🚩.
Carmen left because mayte was coming in and neither one of them was s**t to him..my guy had a multitude of women around him..In Carmen little head she need to stop..
Personnellement, je crois que Prince a été tué. C est vraiment étrange lors de sa mort , il a été insinere. Je n y crois pas a la théorie de l overdose a l opiacé
Great work as always, however, I'm noticing lately that your titles are getting to be a little on the clickbait-ish side. My advice to you as one of your avid viewers an subscribers from the beginning?: Please, steer clear of that; please don't stoop down low like that. As stellar as your work is, there is absolutely no reason for you to be compromising your artistic integrity. I understand that maybe you're trying to increase viewership, but we all know you're far more creative than to have to resort to clickbait-ey titles. But that's just my 2 cents.
I say with this w/ respect. As a fan of prince you know that prince used the death narrative to free himself of the Warner contract. the come album had birth and death dates, he had a press conference to say prince was dead. he held a first birthday party in Miami in 1994. he literally buried himself then threw dirt on his own grave in the closing scene of 3 chains o gold. there was a headstone. I wish I was as clever as the man. all I'm doing here is tracking his life without criticism. He did in fact plan his death and resurrection. I appreciate your thoughts.
@@Sinnik22 Yes as a Prince fan I'm well aware of all this. I bought Come when it came out and I had 3 Chains of Gold on VHS, and I knew what it meant when Mayte said "Prince Esta Muerto" on The Gold Experience. But for the casual viewer or the newcomer, or espeicially for the conspiracy theorist- they're all going to think you're talking about his literal demise when they come across the title, and after they watch the video and find out that this isn't the case, they're going to feel they've been reeling in by clickbait. That's all I'm saying.
@@jovanreid6782 If all this ☝️is true, then we both know he planned his death. We know furthermore that he did it because the truth of his contractual relationship with Warner’s was revealed. Click bait is when the title says something false. This is true. Furthermore this is an essential part of Prince’s lyrical pantheon (death & rebirth). Those who know know and hopefully those who didn’t know learn what it was.
@@jovanreid6782 I clicked because of the "conspiracy theory" of the title, already knew about his "death" back then, read comments and realized the video (as I'm watching and reading) is about the latter. I'm not mad or disappointed. When this series gets up to the actual death, I'll be interested in hearing/seeing what they put together. Another channel had some pretty good evidence that Prince faked his own death. I'm not sure I believe it, but it was compelling. 💕
@@Carmen-us1ew ☝️thank you for watching and finding out. Once again with respect & love. Truth is truth @jovanreid6782. Truth is not clickbait. Commenting on integrity does not fit where the very truth of the statement/title is unimpeachable. Someone who clicks on this title has preconceived notions of its meaning is fine. Hopefully they will learn the truth of Prince’s struggle to claim his intellectual property. Prince was criticized for writing slave on his face. Overkill? Maybe, but I think history has proven him prophetic. His death and rebirth narrative is read alongside the slave analogy. Powerful words that go to the heart of transformation. Following the narrative I’m attempting to recreate may not be perfect or even good. But it is my intent that the episodic nature of this project makes it clear that a wholistic approach to understanding Prince or recreating real life events is preferable to a glance/assume approach. I know that seeking a fulsome understanding is antithetical to the world we inhabit. I am gonna soldier on irrespective of this fact. I am however, staying true to the thread that prince weaved in attempting to remove himself from his contract. The evidence of a death rebirth narrative is all over his work. I can’t change that. Integrity for me, is approaching prince’s mystery box without passion or prejudice and seeing what there is to see. Thank you jovan for watching and commenting. We just disagree here. All love though.
yeh sorry if i offend u if u someone offended by that i did not really like lovesexy show i was kinda disapointed i know the sound was fokked and all but still i thought it would+ve been better especially with lovesexy songs
@@nillehessy oh and you're hella cute btw..Like you're video dancing to Zapp btw..I've seen Zapp with Roger several times live and I met Roger a month before he was killed by his brother
It wasn’t a true death, but he planned Prince’s death in order to call himself by the symbol. The cover of his “come” album had his life & death dates, 1958-1993. Essentially because he wasn’t happy with his relationship with WB.
It's talking about or leading up to when he changed his name to the love symbol to get out of his contract. At that time he himself said that Prince was dead.
LoL he looks at me little cheating b lol oh omg you can't make things time travel up in 90s prince said you cheating b but 2023 what prince picture mm what prince looks like if just walk in on the set ?
