Prince recently said most of the fans who come out to his shows ONLY want to hear his old stuff...and that it took him awhile to accept that - I don't think Prince has gained a lot of new fans post "Graffiti Bridge" (<---his last really good album imo)

Questlove said he and Q-Tip use to ask him why doesn't he create the music wants from him or why won't he work with or collaborate with artists/producers like Quest/D'Angelo/3 Stacks/Michelle Ndegeocello/Tip ...artists who know his sound and won't deviate too much from that
