2741147, I really don't think Prince's decline is that big a deal.

He's pretty much been putting out great music off and on for decades.

Even the worst albums have a couple of good songs on them.


I don't think it's really possible for an artist that puts out nearly as much as Prince does to be great constantly.

He's either gonna get lazy.
A new sound will take over.
He won't be as good of a songwriter just due to age.


If I was to point out what exactly he didn't rule the world anymore, I'm gonna say the fight with Warner's.



-The Breakup of The Revolution was bad, but he got a better band soon after in the Lovesexy Band.

-The Lovesexy album was at least an interesting experiment.

-He was at least smart enough not to feature Tony M. on his big singles with the exception of Gett Off


With the Warner's battle, he was doing everything he could to get out that contract.

Including releasing just about anything be it good or bad.

At least we got the Gold Experience out of it which was a great album.
