Morris envision a club as a profiting asset, with a commercial strategy (mainstream music, dancers, public pleasers), while "The Kid" club concept is a spiritual journey, a forum to present music that uplift the soul. Because "The Kid" spiritual music doesn't attract the public, hence, doesn't make enough money, and puts the busoness in jeopardy, Morris Day wants to put "The Kid" out of business. "The Kid" has to pay Morris $10,000 in order to pay off the mayor; a condition to keep co-ownership of his club. Losing clientele, "The Kid" challenges Morris to a music battle for ownership of "Glam Slam". | ||||||||||||||
