Ooh, because it fits: Only recently, Tedium's Ernie Smith shed some light on the whole story:

“the only notable art Prince was making largely had everything to do with his Warner Bros. contract. The Artist was writing the word SLAVE on his face and changing his name into an unpronounceable symbol. During this period, he created not one, but two albums that were clearly designed to get him out of his contract.”


Contractually Obligated to Suck


Actors, musicians, and companies sometimes make creative decisions for the worst possible reason: Because they legally have to. The result is usually awful.
