Prince ain't been relevant for no 30 years straight please stop. he went through a long period where nobody was checking for him.

he got played out after 87, then hit briefly in 89 and then got old again until diamonds and pearls. then the symbol era he was a laughing stock and he got extra crispy corny for a decade plus until Musicology tour and the tie in with the anniversary of purple rain and him performing on the hall of fame awards and the grammys with Beyonce was good fo rhis business.

then he did the super bowl, but keep in mind these things were live events and marketed real well, it wasn't folks checking for his studio stuff like that.

Prince ain't had an album that people have talked about in many a year.

Michael Jackson just stopped on his dime basically, he could have easily sold more albums and if healthy toured as well.

he got bored of the game period.

Freddie Jackson never stopped making albums and FYI he had more number 1 R&B hits than anybody else in the 80's go look it up for yourself.

Freddie can perform live and he is a R&B act and he didn't chase Pop at all.

i know its hard for you to believe, however not everybody is sweating or checking for Prince and haven't been in years.

Prince live from a past tense perspective is always worth checking in on. studio wise? Naw i ain't cared about no new Prince music since the 80's and its little to no wonder that he is slowly bringing back a few tracks from his vault to update because his 80's era was his best era period, everything else is just kinda there IMO
