Especially that last line.

I highly suspect Prince was behind those leaks myself. What better way to promote yourself. Time will tell if the leaks dry up after he's gone (still can't believe I'm typing that).


But I'm not sure I want to see releases. They're gonna be curated, they could be edited, they could be ALL kinds of shit. If it ain't leaked, fuck it.

All I want to see is Prince's "statement" as you put it... accessible.

TIDAL is not enough.

The one thing I never want to see is dude to fade into nothingness because no one ever heard his shit
