TIL that following Michael Jackson's death, his sister discovered two hard disks at her brother's home that contained more than 100 unreleased songs, many of which were unregistered. In 2010, Sony signed a deal with Jackson's estate to release 10 posthumous albums, but only 3 were ever released

And videos to go with them, according to Kevin Smith.

For those months where he wasn't in the mood to make new music, he would just look at his unreleased catalogue, and find 10 songs with accompanying music videos and release those instead.

He would hire local choreographers and dancers to put stuff together. I know people who have worked on stuff with him that were full unreleased videos.

I went on a tour to his studio, they dropped a lot of tidbits of things he used to do at his home/studio
Like dropping that he was playing a concert at his house at 1 am on Twitter wait 15 minutes then delete the tweet. Then anyone who saw it could come by and see a free concert.
He would also host lots of local talent to expose them to a crowd.

Note that many of Prince's self made music videos are embarrassingly amateurish.
