I will say this all those years of Prince being so tough to keep pirating and streaming of his music at a minimum is going to pay off now because people are going to run to buy his music now.


I got Spotify and they have none of his classics
:francis:
Prince signed a deal with TIdal to give them the right to stream his music exclusively.

here is the raw truth about jermaine jackson:
Jermaine Jackson is on paper, the WORST selling solo artist of all time with 10 or more albums released on a major (look it up). 12 solo albums with no hit records or albums, he wasted so much time and money for MOTOWN that it can be argued he single-handedly killed the momentum of their entire record label

he thought when he broke up from the J5 and did his solo thing that he was going to be the biggest singer in the world. he finally got a chance to stand out and be a star and flopped. who remembers and still plays this album?

two albums later he dropped one of the worst selling albums of all time, I believe it sold less than 100 copies when it released:

the following year however, this dropped:

:sas1:

jermaine's whole thing has been about jealousy...this nikka had a damn near 10 year head start to his solo career over michael jackson, and he STILL crushed his shyt with ONE album.

The family drama ran deep with the jacksons but michael believed in keeping everything private and not telling the world everything that went on with them...if you all really wanna know the truth, it's all in his bodyguards' book - he didn't fukk with NOBODY in that family except his mother. not even janet.
Finally, someone with some sense and the TRUTH.

I actually thought all that was well-known.

Jermaine only had ONE banging album and that was Lets Get Serious.

MJ fukked with Janet but was very competitive with her, he was constantly afraid that she was going to steal his dance moves

nah mike didn't fukk with janet.
in the book one of the bodyguards recalls an incident where one night, ALL of his siblings came up to the house. ALL of them.

and it was over MONEY.

MJ told his bodyguards that they were under strict order to not let ANY FAMILY through the gates that wasn't Katherine - so he had to tell them that shyt

he said he heard a little squeaky voice in the back go "not even me?" and the bodyguard had to say NOPE. NOBODY. STRICT ORDERS.

in his mind he was like "oh shyt that's janet jackson!" but he had to maintain his professionalism.

trust me...mike did NOT fukk with anybody in that family...maybe it was over the drug shyt, or maybe it was money..but he didn't want anybody near him that wasn't Katherine in those last few years of his life

of course of the Jackson's had a dark deep beef, that's why they begged Michael to do the reunion concert and Michael would only get on stage with them if they let em do a solo, then them negros didn't see em
he threw them a big bone (nh) in 84 doing the "Victory Tour" w/ the Jacksons instead of a solo tour. He didn't have to take them on tour, basically free money for them

Much as they didn’t want to produce a song slamming Michael, they had no choice. Radio stations nationwide picked up Jermaine’s “Word to the Badd!” and Reid was in his apartment in LA when he received a call from an angry Michael Jackson.

“ ‘You have to stop this,’ he said. ‘You’re the head of the label. You have to kill this. This isn’t good.’ ”

The brothers convened at their mother’s house to discuss the issue, after which Jermaine called Reid to say that the record would stay on the air, followed by Michael calling to again tell Reid to put a stop to it.

Two days later, Reid writes, “The record disappeared off the air, as if it had never been there in the first place. I don’t know what Michael did. I don’t know if Michael did anything, but it went away in a flash.

Michael Jackson loved to watch videos of Prince screwing up | New York Post

I wonder how Mike got that deaded :lupe:
