He was 1million percent right. Most artists these days complain that the streaming services do not pay them royalties.

[lucidmind]

Crazy how as soon as he died, all his music was released on every streaming platform, the one thing he didn’t want

[robertredick]

Prince paved the way for independent artists

Raspberry Baret will always be a classic 🙏🏾

Any aspiring musicians should really really study prince's battle with Warner bros

[williamanderson]

They wanted to regain control over music. To them, he a as worth more dead to them than alive . Now, they have regained control over his music. It is very hard to believe that Prince and Michael died without having wills in place. With both of their deaths being unexpected and bizarre, it is hard to believe that their deaths weren't planned .

I really didn’t know how much Prince went through. Now it makes so sense that he had to go so hard for his freedom.

Some of my first memories as a kid was my mother listening to Prince while she did daily chores.
RIP PRINCE!

I remember when he gave an album away for free here in 🇬🇧 with the newspaper.

Prince ALSO said that the internet is not the future of music. In a way, he was right, since the BEST artists are out doing LIVE shows, even if they arent Production Line Spotify famous😊

Kudos to you for this video I am a serious Prince fan since the 80s and you did very well with acknowledging the fact of him being in the Forefront of ownership of music💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Prince, the greatest musician
of all time. So glad I got to see this legendary artist perform live. Best show I’ve ever been to. Long live the Purple One.

No wonder why in 2014 when I tried to look up his music on YouTube it wasn’t there he was a smart man

Prince was such a genius, he was able to make music in so many different styles. The man literally used the same technique as mongolian throat singers in when doves cry. He just had it

[smh]

I always find it interesting how folks put so much weight on Prince's so-called "battle with the internet" when he was the first artist to release an album solely online, and his online NPG Music Club was an innovative way to release new music and create community with fans. As always, he was a pioneer and then pushed back when people adopted his idea without continuing to find innovative ways to accomplish their goals. He did the same thing with risque and explicit music and then dialed it back when it became the norm. He was constantly evolving and pushing everyone around him to do the same, but the world tends to get stuck trying to recreate the same experiences over and over again.

Yo Yassine, thanks for all of these recent historian type videos I genuinely appreciate your work and research recapping these pieces of history, these are gonna be watched generations from now. Love man been watching for years, best hip hop / music channel

[DukesMusic]

This cat, this dude, this man was a genius. Why you think people miss Prince so much? If not for big pharma and the opioid crisis, the Purple One would still be onstage shredding guitar and doing fire collabs like he did with Janelle.

[mutavhello]

The music video for Purple Rain was done live and in one is a legend.

[zazagirl]

Let's be clear Prince was fighting for artists who created their own work. He wasn't fighting for artists with ghost producers or ghost writers. Or lazy artists. This fight was for the MUSICIANS

[Tripp]

i hate that people say the rushed albums were subpar, they really aren't, some of those early to large 90s albums are his most underrated work, he lied multiple times about albums being old material
