"political prince? in MY era? it's more likely than you think" is a simple narrative that serves the new album so i'm not surprised there's a lot of these kinda pieces

Recently had the big idea that parade would be better if it ended after do u lie. Not cos the last three songs are bad but just that they dont seem to fit. #blamespotify

i learned from sheila e's twitter that prince didn't like people to watch him eat and also made undercooked eggs :D
U so dislike eating in front of people. But u could throw down when u wanted too. U always cooked eggs for me and I made the pancakes. The eggs weren’t always done 😳 that’s why I made the pancakes to cover up the eggs. 🥰 💜 #prince #eggs #memories pic.twitter.com/S6jJZsZCDH— SheilaEdrummer (@SheilaEdrummer) April 21, 2021

'70s soul pastiche is not at all what I expected. I don't know how to feel about him having a band & production that actually sounds, idk, tasteful?

“Born 2 Die” is the second single made available from Prince’s upcoming unreleased studio album Welcome 2 America and is available now. The song was recorded during a flurry of studio activity in the spring of 2010, when President Obama was just a year into his first term and Prince was reflecting deeply on the issues affecting the Black community and the role he hoped to play. As happened countless times throughout his career, Prince ended up shelving the song and the rest of Welcome 2 America in his legendary vault, and the full album will be released from the vault for the first time on July 30. The slow-burning song was first recorded by Prince, the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, and the drummer Chris Coleman, and then accentuated by the vocal harmonies of Shelby J., Liv Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo, and topped off by a melody sung by Prince himself. He then tapped his longtime music director Morris Hayes to add final production to the track—and shared some of the inspiration behind its sound. "We got to 'Born 2 Die,' and Prince said, 'I'll tell you how that came about,' Morris remembers. "He had been watching videos of his friend Dr. Cornel West on YouTube, and during one speech Dr. West said, 'I love my brother Prince, but he’s no Curtis Mayfield.' So Prince said, "Oh really? We will see."

Ha yeah I should've kept the torch out of there.
xpost lots of true and documented stories of how Prince was a dick to those who worked for / with him. Possibly even more about howmagnanimous he was. Like his anonymous charitable works that he kept up until his death. Dude was complex, as I said, and a true weirdo. Reason to cancel him?
