Slave vs. Slave to the System I have always thought Slave 2 the System was superior to Slave,but why did Prince go with the far inferior Slave?
The song is probably the most depressing Prince song this side ever  "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

Mabye cuz Slave 2 the System was going to be part of the NPG's Exodus album
But P's "Slave 2 the System " is way better then the NPG's Hey Listen to P's Vers of 'Slave 2 the System ' Then Listen to "High"...did he carry keyboard riffs from 'S2TS' ? [or something] I swear it sounds familaure | |

Slave just seems like a better more original mood than Slave to the System... more intriguing lyrics, more personal, not a generic soapbox, plus musically it is more interesting with it's more atonal, eastern key. More serious. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

'Slave' is very good, but it could have been monstrous if recorded with better drum sounds and production.
Prince also used those 'rumbling' drum sounds on 'Ain't No Place Like U', on Mayte's 'Child of the Sun' album. He seemed to be getting off on that drum loop at that time. 'Ain't no Place' is imo better than either 'Slave' track and is the best track on Mayte's album anbd could have been classic if recorded with Prince lead vocaal, better production etc. The guitar's good tho. Do we see a pattern emerging here? | |

which was the one with the funky rhythm guitar riff and he sings, "thompsons my last name...but my daddy's name is lloyd...the farther back i trace it the more it becomes null and void."?? i know there was like a hard rock/synth version sung by Sonny too. | |

I like the production, it is what makes it interesting to me... I don't like the music/melody on the other versions of this idea, like the Mayte album, or the outtake. Those sound more normal for some reason. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

The lyric u mentioned is from Slave 2 the System. "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |
