I just discovered this and had not seen the 2014 documentary Slave Trade before, which goes indepth into Prince's WB/Slave conflict. It includes some nice footage and interviews with Michael Bland, Sonny T and others.

It especially focuses on how while perceived as a bit of a screwball at the time for feuding with his label, changing his name to a symbol, hiding his identity, etc. that Prince was 10-15 years ahead of his time regarding the record and live performance businesses. It emphasizes how not only was he light years ahead of everyone as a musical conceptualist but as a business one as well, and how every recording artist today is indebted to his ideas, actions and results.

I highly recommend this flick, especially for FREE and in wake of his passing.

This was a great show. I recorded it the night there were a plethora of Prince tributes going on. Very nice and well put together with great commentary from people that were in the know.

Axis has been showing this. I seen it several times since Prince passed.

Where can you see it on the internet?
