Prince Disses the Internet

Posted by Rowena Li on 7/06/10 • Categorized as Celebrities, Music

Prince has had a revelation: “the Internet is completely over,” says the singer. Billboard.com reports that the artist doesn’t want his new album, “2oTen,” to be available for digital download on Web sites such as iTunes.

The artist compared the Internet to MTV, saying both was once “hip” before becoming “outdated.” Prince also condemned computers and other “digital gadgets,” and has shut down his official Web site.

Currently Prince is marketing “2oTen” by giving away free copies in European newspapers. There are no confirmed plans of how he will distribute the album in the U.S. and in European retail stores.

Tweeps are wondering if Prince has gone crazy and are mocking his statement:

  1. John Gruber
    gruber It’s only fair, because the Internet declared Prince to be over like 10 years ago.
  2. MC Thumbtack

    WadeFulp @FatFatlinson think Prince could convince Justin Bieber the Internet is dead? :P Prince, your career is dead, see ya!
  9. Michael Salamone
    MichaelSalamone No, Prince wasn’t just slamming iTunes, he said the internet was dead because I hadn’t been online all day.

    Yapping1 No one buys physical music any more Prince. This is not the Purple Rain days. Failure is an option for you brotha.
