After Tipper Gore heard her 12-year-old daughter Karenna listening to Prince's song "Darling Nikki", she founded the Parents Music Resource Center.[46] The center advocates the mandatory use of a warning label ("Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics") on the covers of records that have been judged to contain language or lyrical content unsuitable for minors. The recording industry later voluntarily complied with this request.[47] Of what is considered the Filthy Fifteen Prince's compositions appear no. 1 and no. 2, with the fourth position occupied by his protégée Vanity.[48]

Prince wrote the song “Baltimore” to honor the memory of Gray and other unarmed black Americans killed by police.

The music video released for the track closed with a quote from Prince: “The system is broken. It’s going to take the young people to fix it this time. We need new ideas, new life…”

“Ol’ Skool Company”
In March 2009, during the throes of the Great Recession, Prince premiered the song “Ol’ Skool Company” on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

“The fat cats on Wall Street, they got a bailout. Think it was AIG,” Prince sang in the single, referring to the insurance company American International Group Inc., which was bailed out by the government amid an enormous scandal, with a hefty price tag of $182 billion tax dollars.

“Everybody’s talking about hard times, like it just started yesterday,” he says in the studio recording of the song.

“People I know they have been struggling, at least it seems that way. Fat cats on Wall Street, they got a bailout, while somebody else got to wait.”

“$700 billion but my old neighborhood, ain’t nothing changed but the date.”


:wow:

Damn... Ya'll feel that deeply about it? I simply cannot empathize... pretty alien to me.
My bad if what I said seemed heartless, no disrespect at all.

How old is your cousin?
Shes 41. My wife called me and told me she was near tears but held back because she was at work. How old are you?

So does the catalog go up on auction or back to the label?


It all goes to his estate/family
