We all know it’s been a long fought, public battle for Prince, who in 1993 had the word ‘slave’ carved onto his face to protest the ‘slave-like’ control that Warner Bros. had over his music, his creativity, and his name. So he left the mainstream scene for 18 years and did his own thing independently somehow. He eventually regained control of his name and in August of 2014, he resigned with Warner Bros. after they agreed to give him full ownership of his publishing for all of his 80’s music. Hand clap for Prince for standing up to the corporate music machine.
