    Prince wasn't just a musical genius, his leadership are marketing abilities were second to his musical talent.
    He possessed a rich intuition and courage that is rare in any artist, and music was only a medium for him to capture the irony of a revolution in progress.
    As all great visionaries do, he worked tirelessly to incorporate as many people into the fold bringing forth amazing talent and iconoclastic expression.

      Well if he didn't want them to out do him yet, saw the talent....why bring them in in the first place???
      Be real people!
      PRINCE played ALL the instruments on their albums. They just played PRINCE'S music live. They learned their parts!
      SMH!!!!
      Morris is full of shit!!!
      He's still disgruntled because of the requirements demanded of him while under their agreement!!!
      He signed, he consented to it, he was made to honor his agreement!
      So as far as anything else Morris is ALSO capitalizing on Prince's death!
      Morris wouldn't even have a name if it weren't for Prince!
      Wake up people!
      None of these guys existed without Prince!
      He brought them in BECAUSE of the talent not jealous or scared!!!
      Try and take a look at hid. Odd of work AFTER All of them left!!!
      The only people that went on to do anything really great but Jam and Lewis!
      And Jam and Lewis didn't have a beef with Prince even to this day!
      They gave him complete credit for everything they did to this day and before his death were in his vault working on music to release with him on his next album!
